my new AI powered lamp is trained on millions of lamp interactions so it understands that 50% of chain pulls are to turn it on and the other 50% are to turn it off. and honestly, it's a little spooky how it knows exactly what i want almost half of the time

On this day, Dr. Manhatten first reappears after his atomized destruction in a lab accident. Happy November 10th to all who observe.

Haha, this from the New Yorker is getting passed around the math dork community. I did a comic about this kind of thought a few years ago: www.smbc-comics.com/comic/commut...

Narrator: But what is water? It's a difficult question, because water is impossible to describe. One might ask the same about birds. What are birds? We just don't know.
This is an incredible article because at no point does it even try to properly explain what it's talking about. The closest it gets to that is the line, and I quote, "quantum is about particles behaving in weird ways"
Will quantum be bigger than AI?
The highly complex technology is increasingly being tipped to transform computing.

Edward Burne-Jones drew a wombat, too. Quite why a muscular quadrupedal marsupial of the family Vombatidae which is native to Australia (thank you, Wikipedia) appears to be in Egypt is anybody’s guess
