- Comment on New modelling reveals full impact of Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs – with the US hit hardest 21 hours ago:
I don’t understand why some countries get a gain from additional tariffs.
The article doesn’t explain the mechanism.
Some nations gain from the trade war. Typically, these face relatively low US tariffs (and consequently also impose relatively low tariffs on US goods). New Zealand (0.29%) and Brazil (0.28%) experience the largest increases in GDP. New Zealand households are better off by $397 per year.

- Comment on The fediverse has a bullying problem 5 days ago:
This kind of indirect bullying is kind of unavoidable online (until we get that perfect education to civility that may happen in 2000 years if we still exist). Maybe one solution is to have strong rules and moderation about personal attacks. But then it’s the moderators that will get bullied for censorship and end up crucified on the power tripping bastard community.

It could be hilarious to have those censored in some countries and turned into old timey expressions.

Rakuten is a big mess of data tracking and advertisment but I’m glad to hear Kobo remains a good product.

Kobo was bought by Rakuten in 2012, Rakuten is the Japanese Amazon, except it failed to fully scale internationally.
- Comment on New superconducting quantum processor outpaces world’s fastest supercomputer by quadrillions 4 weeks ago:
The abstract of the scientific article
In the relentless pursuit of quantum computational advantage, we present a significant advancement with the development of Zuchongzhi 3.0. This superconducting quantum computer prototype, comprising 105 qubits, achieves high operational fidelities, with single-qubit gates, two-qubit gates, and readout fidelity at 99.90%, 99.62%, and 99.13%, respectively. Our experiments with an 83-qubit, 32-cycle random circuit sampling on the Zuchongzhi 3.0 highlight its superior performance, achieving 1×106 samples in just a few hundred seconds. This task is estimated to be infeasible on the most powerful classical supercomputers, Frontier, which would require approximately 5.9×109 yr to replicate the task. This leap in processing power places the classical simulation cost 6 orders of magnitude beyond Google’s SYC-67 and SYC-70 experiments [Morvan et al., Nature 634, 328 (2024)], firmly establishing a new benchmark in quantum computational advantage. Our work not only advances the frontiers of quantum computing but also lays the groundwork for a new era where quantum processors play an essential role in tackling sophisticated real-world challenges. journals.aps.org/prl/…/PhysRevLett.134.090601
Random circuit sampling is a problem designed to showcase quantum computing strength. Random circuit sampling is the simulation of the outcome of many randomly generated quantum circuits. So, having a computer based on quantum phenomenon, such as superposition and entanglement, is obviously a big help, as opposed to having to imperfectly simulate this on a classical computer. So much that classical super computer cannot simulate this problem in a reasonable human time anymore. They call this “quantum superiority”.
It’s like giving a math problem to a math professor and a philosophy professor, and then demonstrating how much better the math professor was at solving this problem.
But it’s a good benchmark to compare quantum computers between them.Overall, it’s still useless to the average server or gamer.
- Comment on Why Are Conservatives More Susceptible to Believing Lies? 5 weeks ago:
I think it’s far/extreme politics rather than just conservative, they are quite beyond basic conservative at this point. Lemmy makes it easy to observe how the far left also believes lies and propaganda that confirms their ideology.

Are they? In Europe, monarchist people are part of conservatistes. We have a few royalists in France who want to reinstate whomever is the descendant of the lastest royal family.

I am confusing by this. He pays his meals, but the chefs are paid by the government? So he only pays for the ingredients?

I feel like people are interpreting your comment with an American view. As a fellow European I agree, NGOs like Greenpeace are also to blame, and I don’t think those are financed by fossil fuel lobbies.
