Quantum computing is fascinating, but this news is not as as big a leap as the article suggests. Dwave quantum annealing which is much noisier than stable quantum structures (universal quantum computers) being worked on by IBM which are more likely to solve today’s problem with quantum circuits.

This almost doubles their current systems so ️

I have read most, but not all of his work but did't know that's how he died.

I wasn't old enough in the 90s to understand HIV/AIDS completely but remember it being a death sentence (I remember a rumor that you could get it by using public toilets)

v1vekon Inside China’s Dystopian Dreams: A.I., Shame and Lots of Cameras

Google wasn't responsible for any of the major breakthroughs in AI. The current AI boom is driven by deep learning[1], due to Alex Krizhevsky [2][3], who was then a Ph.D. student @ University of Toronto. Subsequently, several significant breakthroughs have been in Universities & outside Google or FAANGs (Siri, DeepMind were all questions)

v1vekon Lyft is testing monthly subscriptions for riders

Given that I am planning to use Uber/Lyft for the commute - this seems great. My monthly parking costs are already $325 per month and given that my one-way commute using uber costs 20 - 25 this is what I need to stop driving.

So how do I get an invite for this ?

v1vekon List of resources to learn deep learning

I created this list during my paternity leave when I was making the transition from using other ML tools to deep learning. Over the last year, several of my colleagues/friends have used this list and have started using Deep Neural Networks for various applications.

My goal for sharing this list was to inspire more people to learn and not be scared of this new tool. Getting started has never been easier.

@julien421 Thanks for posting on HN.
