@vzn I like how this article is more accurate than typical popsci articles on this topic

@Secret thx for the shades-of-gray thinking! somewhat similarly, preskill recently says we're entering NISQ era, noisy intermediate stage quantum, sounds about right. gizmodo.com/… also has arxiv paper for people allergic to popsci :)

@DanielSank, keep up the good work on quantum systems in thermal and noisy environments, the quantum computing guys may be looking towards the work in order to better their error correction systems

-> (cont. to vzn)

I think quantum computing is not the only thing that characterise this era. There's a lot of other things happening:

Biology: Rapid developments in synthetic biology, and maturation in CRISPR technology as well researches on incoporating microorganisms in structural materials to reinforce their functionalities

Computer science: Artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency

(and one more I forgot)

Technology seemed to be the only thing that is bright, as everything else otherwise mostly go downhill since 2016

Some social scientist predict the western civillisation will enter the destructive phase of a 50 year historical cycle of rise and social collapse by 2020

One one hand, it is really a matter of who gets there first. Will we get into the next breakthrough before we collapse or the final collapse will get us first

On the other hand, I really wish the human race will be wiped out because they have been in general failed to avert those cycles

There are no viable ways to persecute all the karma houdini throughout history, except for a total system wipe

Until we found the first physical infinity, nothing will allow the construction of an attack that can erase a concept permanently

Bakarla: This concept, is what is referred to as the One True Enemy in the anime script

What I detest is not even a human being, but a social phenomenon that have been left unchecked for many eras. Social unrest is just one of its many manifestations

Being a system phenomenon, you will need something akin to calling phone company customer support, and all the possible departments it will refer you to as an excuse all at the same time in one call in order to even make a dent onto this enemy

A: What happened to David John Candlin?

I googled a little bit a while ago, and found him. I didn't get any insights into the history of this discovery, he didn't respond to my email. The person I contacted in order to reach him was eventually so offended by my rude email questions that he told me to buzz off. I am only posting this be...
