We need super-quadratic speedups for practical #QuantumComputing; the clock rate after error correction will be orders of magnitude slower than classical computers.

Grover-like algorithms cannot be practical; algorithm breakthroughs needed! 🤖💻

$μ$OpTime: Statically Reducing the Execution Time of Microbenchmark Suites Using Stability Metrics
Performance regressions have a tremendous impact on the quality of software. One way to catch regressions before they reach production is executing performance tests before deployment, e.g., using mic...

Faster and Better Quantum Software Testing through Specification Reduction and Projective Measurements
Quantum computing promises polynomial and exponential speedups in many domains, such as unstructured search and prime number factoring. However, quantum programs yield probabilistic outputs from expon...

Two machine learning algorithms can determine whether a whisky is of American or Scotch origin and identify its strongest aromas, according to research in Communications Chemistry. https://go.nature.com/3DpO8nl 🧪
This is figure 4, which shows a schematic depiction of the “stack-and-pad” approach for the features extracted per whisky sample for each molecule detected.

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
altmetric.com Altmetric @altmetric.com · Dec 3
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

A Place of Joy.
‘A place of joy’: why scientists are joining the rush to Bluesky Researchers say the social-media platform — an alternative to X — offers more control over the content they see and the people they engage with.: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03784-6

Viele Menschen lesen nur die Überschrift und teilen Links, ohne jemals darauf geklickt zu haben

Das legt diese Studie recht eindrucksvoll nahe. Sie berechnete bei 35 Millionen Postings auf Facebook, dass in rund 75 Prozent der Fälle Leute das teilten, ohne den Link angeklickt zu haben
