Αυτή η μανία των ελληνικών τραπεζών να σε βάζουν συνέχεια κάθε λίγους μήνες να αλλάζεις κωδικούς στο ebanking, προσφέρει κάτι ή είναι έτσι μια διαστροφή κάποιου για να ταλαιπωρεί κόσμο; Δηλαδή στο εξωτερικό που δεν το κάνουν έχουν τόσο μεγαλύτερα ποσοστά κλοπής λογαριασμών;

καλημέρα σας. σας παρακαλώ να το κοινοποιήσετε. και αυτή τη μέρα σας ζητώ όσο είναι δυνατόν, να προσπαθήσουμε να διασώσουμε τα βιβλία απο τον άμεσο κίνδυνο να πεταχτούν. η έξωση στην αποθήκη είναι σε εξέλιξη. ξέρω πως δεν είναι ευκολο αυτό που σας ζητώ. μπορούμε να τα διασώσουμε

GREEK. FREAK. TAKEOVER. 37 PTS I 10 REB I 18-23 FGM (78%) Greece advances to the EuroBasket quarterfinals ‼️ Watch all the @EuroBasket action live on @courtside1891: courtside1891.basketball/competitions/e…

it is with great pleasure that we finally see the fruits of our efforts paying and the technological paradigm that we have introduced, being recognized in a prestigious journal such as PRL,@Q_Ubit_Tech journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…

After a lot of effort we are very happy that our article on a new encoding method for spatial photonic Ising machines has been published in PRL journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…

@skdh Larger quantum systems like arrays of BECs in micrometer scales?

How did humans manage to control and create materials on nanometer scale and are now pushing beyond this, scales so far beyond what we can see with our own eyes? In a nutshell it all started with lenses, and each time we managed to see something new, we developed a better understanding of the physics and managed to create an even more powerful "lens". From light microscopes we went to electron microscopes and eventually to particle accelerators. EUV lithography is basically a sophisticated spin-off of this. It's been a virtuous cycle in which new scientific insights led to new technologies which led to new scientific insights. But sometime around 30 years ago, this cycle broke. There haven't been any further scientific insights into the nature of physics at short scales. There haven't been any breakthrough technologies to push towards smaller scales. This is why, to make a long story short, particle accelerators are now just getting bigger and bigger. Don't get me wrong, we can, and almost certainly will, minituarize electronics further, beyond nanometer scales. Yes, maybe high-T superconductors or wakefield acceleration can turn around things for particle colliders, at least for now. But there's a bigger open question here, which is whether we've exceeded (or near exceeded) the scales for useful technologies, period. This, ultimately, is the reason why the foundations of physics have been drifting off to lala-land. Because they're now almost decoupled from technological progress. There's nothing you can do with particles that decay in femtoseconds. And this is why I've been saying that the next frontier in the foundations of physics isn't shorter distances but larger quantum systems. /end random thoughts x.com/demishassabis/…

A PhD in physics goes beyond completing assigned tasks. It means questioning the foundations, reading papers to trace derivations, identifying open problems, and developing the physical intuition to connect formalisms with real phenomena, the kind that keeps you up at night.

I am hiring a postdoc in quantum metrology / quantum error correction at the University of Sheffield, UK, with expected interviews around June 2025. The position is fixed-term for 27 months. Enquire about this position at y.ouyang@sheffield.ac.uk

Giannis with the exclamation point!

1,488 years ago, the Hagia Sophia made the impossible seem possible. It was a masterpiece for its time, with a colossal dome unlike any other the world had ever seen. Here's how it changed the ancient world forever... 🧵

If you like the Parthenon, then you'll love ancient Greek architecture. 2,500 years ago, it produced some of the greatest wonders the world has ever seen. Here are the best ones.. 🧵 1. Temple of Concordia, Sicily, Italy (430 BC)

I remember one of the last seminars I saw back when I was in UOC where Prof. Kominis presented some of his previous work towards on this topic and it was really fascinating and inspiring. I am really excited to see the continuation of this work. physics.aps.org/articles/v18/s8

@DD_Geopolitics ouch....

Max Blumenthal absolutely COOKS Blinken.... he even calls him "Tony", it's a masterpiece.

The most surreal phenomena ever captured on camera. 🧵 ⚠️ Warning: you're going to hallucinate! 1. The sea in the sky.

I saw this interview of L.S. a while back, and it was really invigorating to c such a somber overview of String theory, what lessons we can learn , what tools and methods can be repurposed and to what extent, what we can keep and what the future holds. youtu.be/2p_Hlm6aCok?si…
