Re:Quantum computing breakthrough at room temperature on Saturday August 23, 2025 @06:24PM (#44999601)
Researchers at UCLA and UC Riverside have developed a novel computing system that harnesses quantum oscillators to solve complex optimization problems at room temperature, marking a departure from traditional quantum computing approaches that require extreme cooling. The breakthrough, published this week in Physical Review Applied, demonstrates how specially engineered materials can naturally evolve toward optimal solutions for problems spanning telecommunications, scheduling, and logistics.

The system represents a new class of "Ising machines" that exploit the physical properties of tantalum sulfide, a charge-density-wave material, to perform computations through quantum mechanical processes rather than digital algorithms. Unlike conventional quantum computers that operate near absolute zero, this architecture functions at ambient temperatures while maintaining quantum coherence.

So is there a good solution for active volume normalization while using oss?

So Arathorn, pray tell, when will you be fixing the well-documented, years old bugs in the matrix-bifrost?

I would have agreed in the past, but try it again now

Telegram is backed by xmpp ;)

Quoted this on XMPP for the irony.

Having built upon your work and used it as a reference myself, I appreciate the effort dude :)

Unfortunately most of us have no friends (who use it)
This... is not a good thing

Folks always call me insane for only ever playing Civ5 in strategic mode. Glad i'm not alone
Then they might have 3 users rather than 2?

The site is horrific, i only use it through apps. The content is more of a personal preference, unless you browse r/all or something
Agreed. I prefer the other FASM too
Icecat is woefully out of date and contains a bunch of intrusive addons that break most sites, by default. YMMV.
There is a nonguix substitution server - https://mirror.brielmaier.net
I can compare. Ebuilds are nothing in comparison, and guix is much more flexible. What portage has over guix is the wealth of premade packages (for now)
Im not sure. Ive switched from nixos to guix, and i think nix's main advantage is just "a **tonne of code" for a wide variety of services, but guix allows new services and things much easier imo
I do. See also #guix and #nonguix on libera
