Just a day or two ago we were doomed to austerity by Government debt interest payments. Today crisis has been averted. Got it!

I’ve said this before and I say it again, without suggesting any particular course of action. When things are securely tied to or wrapped in a heavy object with negative buoyancy, they do sink rather fast to the bottom of the sea and stay there. Examples of such objects include battleship chains and concrete boots.
I think this is a great idea! Perhaps he could move his whole company, its beers and himself in the process.
I agree, and add such statistical analysis needs to be applied in a specific domain leveraging deep domain knowledge. Then and only then can these techniques deliver substantial benefits.
General AI, just stop with that nonsense!
Each technology hype-cycle is more boring than the previous one, and clueless business “leaders” and politicians predictably falling for it more depressing. It is really hard not to become utterly cynical.
Meanwhile there would be lots of productive uses for machine learning techniques when properly applied in a domain to assist human experts. Often used example is identifying anomalies in x-rays. These techniques are incredibly powerful in pattern recognition, which could be used to good effect in countless domains.

Well, I hope Neil Young will remember…
There is quite a bit more than just the cooling system in the picture. Coax cables take control signals from room temperature to the quantum processor and readout signals back. The signal paths include attenuation, filtering and amplification in various stages. The processor itself is in a magnetic shield, which is the grey cylinder at the bottom.
I’m in no way suggesting anything, nor encouraging or endorsing any particular course of action, but I do note that when things are securely tied to or wrapped in a heavy object with negative buoyancy, they do sink rather fast to the bottom of the sea and stay there. Examples of such things include battleship chains and concrete boots.
I did not have this particular one in my “Nigel does or says stupid shit” bingo card.
Funnily enough, I was the one driving an Audi at the time.
Solar panels will obviously not work well in all houses, but where they do there should be sufficient incentives to add them. Large scale use of dedicated house batteries or EVs to time-shift energy draw from the grid would also make the whole system much more efficient.
