@Hybridathlete You would not care if you came second in a marathon race, knowing the winner had admitted to cheating?
Seems a bit unlikely.
So if they took a short cut, got a lift in a car, started earlier than the gun. You wouldn’t care?
I don’t understand this.
If he's not competing for prize money or qualification spots, who cares?
I mean, should USATF ban anyone who runs any of their races, regardless of how good they are, who has taken a peptide or is on any banned substance?
They'd be banning hundreds
Woke up to a comment from an IG user wishing I “fell off a cliff”. You want to talk about “toxicity in the running community”?….look no further from the death threats I get for speaking up about clean sport and anti-doping 😅…
I've played soccer at a high level my whole life. Through college. The amount of sprinting and running I've done is hard to even fathom. 5 hours of practice a day.
However, I am not and have never been insane enough to run a marathon (or half marathon). Nor would I ever want

I carefully read Trump's 20-point plan for Gaza. I started writing a detailed analysis of each point when I realized this is a waste because the plan is not the plan.
It's a statement. I’ll explain.
There's no way Hamas will accept this plan. It requires Hamas to trust Israel implicitly by releasing all the hostages at once before getting back anything in return. It requires Gaza to permanently lose territory in favor of a security buffer zone, which is the one thing Arabs consider a defeat.
Even more insanely, the plan brings back the British mandate of Palestine with Tony Blair as the colonial governor. I thought it was 2025, not 1925!
One is reminded of even older times, when regions were given to foreign lords to rule as fiefs. All hail Tony Blair, first of his name, Lord of Gaza!
Can you read this without laughing? This is absurd, purposefully comical.
So what is my analysis of this plan? I have three theories, which I'll write in order of decreasing probability:
1. Trump is attempting the art of the deal. He’s presenting a deliberately unacceptable plan so he could step back from it towards his real goal, giving the other side a chance to claim victory by making him retreat from his position. Basically, it’s a call to start negotiations.
2. The Allies of Hamas decided to sacrifice it. After Israel slaughtered the leadership of Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, the Iranian military, the IRGC, and bombed Qatar, the emir of Qatar must consider the chance, no matter how small, that Israel will just plain kill him. There’s no telling what these crazy Jews will do! The risk of fiery death makes one more disposed to make compromises. Perhaps in this case, the compromise is throwing Hamas to the dogs by giving Israel full legitimacy to act (“this was the final offer, Israel accepted, Hamas rejected, there’s nothing more we can do.”) Later, like Pontius Pilate, the Emir of Qatar will wash his hands of their destruction, and Blair will enjoy his new province in Judea... also like Pontius Pilate.
3. There’s a group inside Gaza which is sick of the war and is ready to carry out a coup against Hamas to end the war, even if this means going all the way back to British Mandatory Palestine (again, this plan is basically League of Nations-style mandate). I find this extremely unlikely, but I struggle to imagine any other way Gaza would accept the terms of the deal as currently presented.
These are my theories. What do you think?
6,100-Qubit Processor Shatters Quantum Computing Record | David Nield, ScienceAlert
Another major quantum computing record has been broken, and by a considerable margin: physicists have now built an array containing 6,100 qubits, the largest of its type and way above the thousand or so qubits previous systems contained.
It's the work of scientists from the California Institute of Technology, who used cesium atoms as their qubits, trapping them in place with a complex system of lasers that acted as tweezers to keep the atoms as stable as possible.
Qubits differ from the classical bits of traditional computers by exploiting what's known as a superposition: not just binary states of 1 or 0, but a spread of probabilities that allows for algorithms that can solve problems considered out of reach of conventional computing methods.

A lot of qubits will be needed to make quantum algorithms practical, however. One reason for these large arrays is error correction, which helps overcome the inherent fragility of the qubit by providing a surplus to double-check the machine's operation.
"This is an exciting moment for neutral-atom quantum computing," says physicist Manuel Endres. "We can now see a pathway to large error-corrected quantum computers. The building blocks are in place."
There was no single breakthrough that enabled this jump in qubit numbers, but rather a series of engineering advancements in many key areas – from the laser tweezers to the ultra-high (very low pressure) vacuum chamber.
Stability has also been a problem for quantum computing systems. The innovations in this latest array kept qubits in a superposition state for almost 13 seconds – almost ten times longer than previous configurations had managed.
What's more, individual qubits could be manipulated with 99.98 percent accuracy, establishing a significant benchmark in the programmability of quantum technology.
"Large scale, with more atoms, is often thought to come at the expense of accuracy, but our results show that we can do both," says physicist Gyohei Nomura.
"Qubits aren't useful without quality. Now we have quantity and quality."
To make quantum computers a practical alternative to modern supercomputers, more qubits and even greater levels of stability will be required. Experts are tackling the problem from several different angles, which is why records for some types of quantum computer don't necessarily apply to others.
Next, the researchers need to work on exploiting entanglement, which will enable the system to make the leap from storing information to actually processing it. Not too far in the future, we could be using these computers to discover new materials, matter, and fundamental laws of physics.
"It's exciting that we are creating machines to help us learn about the Universe in ways that only quantum mechanics can teach us," says physicist Hannah Manetsch.
