Curious about the new Quantum Processor by Microsoft based on Majorana particles? Me too! So I put together a very plain English deep dive with ChatGPT to explore how it all works so I could understand it better. chatgpt.com/share/67ba00...

At some point will obscure music from the 60s/70s/80s only exist on individual people's machines as MP3s / digital files? If the history of music is not preserved, master archives will all eventually fail. The only way to preserve the history is to keep copying them in digital form.
Music industry’s 1990s hard drives, like all HDDs, are dying

"roughly one-fifth of the hard disk drives dating to the 1990s it was sent are entirely unreadable"

Imagine if we had a government where the elected officials actually *represented* the people and their concerns like they were supposed to! (this has always been an issue, but is just extremely heightened right now IMO)
Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important

I'm pretty sure Dark Matter doesn't exist. If the universe is a simulation and the visual universe was designed first (thinking like a programmer), you might be tempted to "fix" the mistake you made by bending your own rules of physics so you don't have to change your original design.

If you were CEO and hired a senior strategic advisor who went on television and made a Nazi salute for all to see, it's very clear what you would do. Misunderstanding or not, that advisor is fired on the spot that same day, no questions asked. This should be no different.

Great post on threads about how the right might keep defending and normalizing this nazi salute...

It's funny. Twitter implodes and self-destructs, causes mass exodus. And we get two decent platforms as a result in Threads and Bluesky. Three really, Mastodon as well. I suspect Tweetle dee will merge his platform with Dweeble dum at some point to finalize their very own dee-dum bubble.

@philipmichaels.bsky.social thanks for the iPhone Mail article. I had in fact discovered how to switch back the UI, but the icons threw me off and I didn't think I could get it back. Going into settings to remove "Show Contact Photos" is what *really* puts the Mail app back the way it belongs IMO :)
