  • Quantum computing is pretty much vaporware at this point, right? Kamala says we need to keep up our investments in QC and AI to beat China, but as far as I know, QC has some serious fundamental barriers that we are not able to overcome right now, which prevents the technology from even being used for the things people want it to be used for. So what are we competing for?

    I was reading IBM’s roadmap for QC development and it could honestly be the RDI Star Citizen promises with how out of sight and reliant they are on the technology improving at an unrealistic pace.

    Maybe I’m cynical and have an outside perspective but quantum computing is starting to look like one of those dead ends that everyone looks back on and feels a little embarrassed by the whole thing.






  • CW: Electoralism from a Bernie burnout:

    Is Dr. Cornel West a grifter?

    People keep saying it but I am unsure what they are referring to. Hell, I would be more likely to believe the grifter narrative if Dr. Cornel West had stayed a Green, which is like the premier grifter party in the US, as far as I can tell. See, I was planning to xi-vote for Dr. West to maintain my protest candidate streak as punishment to the people who tell me to vote every year to change the Reaper drone operators. Dr. West seems like the most well-known person whose views align closely enough to mine. I would not want to vote for Dr. West if it was all a scam. And would likely vote PSL again. I was disappointed Leonard Peltier had to drop out last time for completely understandable reasons but was still proud to have supported that ticket. Which is the only thing my vote really matters for, that I can live with myself at the end of the day as I’ve only ever lived in red states.













  • I was going to put this in a thread on c/cth but it got deleted

    It does not take a Voltron combination brain genius formed of the spirits and life energy ofkarl-barx , parenti , no-choice ,costanza-maoist , and theanti-thatcher-action to understand the materialist forces behind something like October 7th happening. So it’s been something to watch the pretzel knots people have tied themselves into justifying or turning away from a yet-to-be-completely legally adjudicated but in the process of determining what is definitely a genocide of the Palestinian people as detailed in various reputable journals such as The Lancet which suggests 168,000 people could die in the coming months and the past year, from the effects of the relentless destruction campaign that Israel has carried out in the goal of opening up Gaza to their population of settler Airbnb property developers and rent-seekers.

    Also, I made a post on c/mutual_aid https://hexbear.net/post/3111572
