@seynaeve avec la clim à 17° ;)

J'ai testé pour vous, par 3°, de faire 400km, 3/4 d'autoroute à ~110km, en 2 jours en Tesla Y Long range Dual motor 2026 ... qui à >440km d'autonomie dans ces conditions.

@xdamman caps are so 2024!

Good candidate to remap the useless caps lock key. Instead of shout what I’m about to write, rephrase what I’m about to write.

The Origins of Wokeness: paulgraham.com/woke.html

I see a lot of confusion about Google's Monday press release about quantum supremacy, so let me try to clarify a few things. They say they did a computation on a ca 100 qubit chip much faster than a conventional (super)computer could do. The particular calculation in question is to produce a random distribution. The result of this calculation has no practical use. They use this particular problem because it has been formally proven (with some technical caveats) that the calculation is difficult to do on a conventional computer (because it uses a lot of entanglement). That also allows them to say things like "this would have taken a septillion years on a conventional computer" etc. It's exactly the same calculation that they did in 2019 on a ca 50 qubit chip. In case you didn't follow that, Google's 2019 quantum supremacy claim was questioned by IBM pretty much as soon as the claim was made and a few years later a group said they did it on a conventional computer in a similar time. So while the announcement is super impressive from a scientific pov and all, the consequences for everyday life are zero. Estimates say that we will need about 1 million qubits for practically useful applications and we're still about 1 million qubits away from that. Also, it's been a recurring story that we have seen numerous times in the past years, that claims of quantum "utility" or quantum "advantage" or quantum "supremacy" or whatever you want to call it later evaporate because some other group finds a clever way to do it on a conventional computer after all.

@vinchbat @xdamman still need a few million qubits more … but yeah

Deep acceleration. Are we all ready for this?

@xdamman @citizenwallet don’t forget apple was never the first ;)

Innovation in smartphones won’t come from Apple but from crypto communities. They will become devices issued by your community to stay connected and protected by your tribe. The nfcwallet.xyz by @citizenwallet is a low tech example. Here is a more sophisticated one:

@jeremyphoward @cgarciae88 I wonder if someone will do something like github.com/twidi/mixt with FastHTML

Dammit @cgarciae88 look what you're making me do.

Apple Store is up and running and looks like you can get an Apple Mac picked up same day or delivered by Monday.

@bduperrin we actually had a nice conversation this week with @absolutesubzero @bjoern_n @rawn luis suarez and more

@tlg I agree but the point is to see where everybody has gone.

Hi guys ! I’m purposely using the old #e20 hashtag to know where the old community has gone and if some are still alive here.

@natfriedman You mean like lead poisoning with the Roman ?

Seems like the majority of us are eating a lot of plastic every day, and this might be having society-level effects that we attribute to other things

@LinusEkenstam @xdamman there you go

genius, someone fixed the iPad ad (using iMovie)

@loran @free ça reste plus simple qu’une fiche de paye belge ;)

C'est un énarque qui a conçu les factures @free ? C'est plus compliqué à lire et comprendre qu'une fiche de paye française, ce n'est pas peu dire.

@vinchbat @TheLilyCroft on peut répondre avec un temps négatif ?

Vous vous endormez en combien de temps ?

My cat is missing. And I am not functioning.

@TeslaBoomerMama Tesla use to do exactly the same thing to ship in europe and avoid taxes.

Good grief. How inefficient is that?
