Scientists say they've debunked Google’s quantum supremacy claims once and for all

" . . . As reported by Science magazine, the scientists used a system comprised of 512 GPUs to complete the same calculation developed by Google to demonstrate it had passed the quantum supremacy milestone back in 2019. . . " 512 has long seemed to me to place a neat upper-bound on how many folks that can function as an anarchist polity while knowing each other ( with the help of ubiquitous modern technology) " It takes a village " For example, with a global UBI scheme seeking to cover 5 billion or so people, you could start off with 512 sized nodes, each node then deciding its own rules under overall Metcalfes supervision. Then as Moores carries on you could halve each node at regular periods from 256 to 128 and so on. As you approach 8 and less we're presumably close to uploading by then. Quantum cryptoanarchy for every individual and Gym Dumbell's endless FUD being ancient history.

NIST laundered a shitcoiners standard supplied by the NSA

" . . . a bad standard was identified early and kept out of products. NIST may not have caught the problem . . . " https://www.theverge.com/2013/9/11/4718694/how-far-did-the-nsa-go-to-weaken… NIST was criminally negligent, or just corruptly criminal, or both, in cahoots with the NSA Just ask list member Peter Trei >>> Now, a Reuters exclusive report is showing the other side of the story. The report details a secret deal between the NSA and respected encryption company RSA, in which the agency paid $10 million for RSA to incorporate the weaker algorithm into an encryption product called BSafe. Because of the earlier work, the algorithm had been approved by NIST, so RSA could claim their encryption used only nationally certified protocols. <<< https://www.theverge.com/2013/12/20/5231006/nsa-paid-10-million-for-a-back-… Some list members from 2001 - 4 may have taken my advice to DUMP RSA STOCK. The least I could do.

" . . . NIST, have a responsibility to be open and transparent about how they manage the process. . ." Yeah, right. The NSA are so forthcoming I got reams of █████ from them. >>> Smid recalls. "NIST is part of the government and so is the NSA. The NSA has submitted candidate algorithms in the past, and NIST treats them like any other submissions. <<< https://www.theverge.com/2013/9/11/4718694/how-far-did-the-nsa-go-to-weaken… Reposts etc

Invitation to a treasonous terrorist conspiracy

" I advocate the overthrow of all government ( beat ) through peace and quiet " Gary Snyder So who wants to join the LAST revolution on earth, the one that’ll take down ALL the governments? Before Jim Bell went to prison, he suspected that most government officials were corrupt. Three years behind bars later, the self-proclaimed Internet anarchist is sure of it. After Bell, a cypherpunk who the United States government dubbed a techno-terrorist, is released Friday at 10 a.m. PDT, he plans to exact revenge on the system that imprisoned him. "If they continue to work for the government, they deserve it. My suggestion to these people is to quit now and hope for mercy "

>>> an exposition of the projection model in the most creative ideas about space in contemporary mathematics such as twisters, quasicrystals, and quantum topology. Robbin clarifies these esoteric concepts with understandable drawings and diagrams. Robbin proposes that the powerful role of projective geometry in the development of current mathematical ideas has been long overlooked and that our attachment to the slicing model is essentially a conceptual block that hinders progress in understanding contemporary models of spacetime. He offers a fascinating review of how projective ideas are the source of some of today’s most exciting developments in art, math, physics, and computer visualization. <<< https://www.amazon.com.au/Shadows-Reality-Dimension-Relativity-Thought-eboo…

it's nice to think about this algorithm part i'm indoors right now and where i was working on it was outdoors. i'll just open up an unsync'd copy here that system is offline; i wonder how in the world i got my code onto it O_O maybe i copied it over by hand? maybe i started dev on it? i dont' think ihave the camera sorted out for qr codes, or a ready usb key

Scientists say they've debunked Google’s quantum supremacy claims once and for all https://share.newsbreak.com/1joxv01w A team of scientists in China claim to have replicated the performance of Google’s Sycamore quantum computer using traditional hardware, thereby undermining the suggestion the company has achieved quantum supremacy. As reported by Science magazine, the scientists used a system comprised of 512 GPUs to complete the same calculation developed by Google to demonstrate it had passed the quantum supremacy milestone back in 2019. The endeavor was led by statistical physicist Pan Zhang, who said his team’s supercomputer performed the calculation 10 billion times faster than Google had thought possible. Quest for quantum supremacy Quantum supremacy (or quantum advantage) can be defined as the point at which quantum computers can outstrip the maximum potential performance of classical supercomputers in a particular discipline. Three years ago, Google announced it had achieved this feat with Sycamore, which it said took just 200 seconds to complete a statistical mathematics problem that would take a supercomputer 10,000 years to solve. The problem was architected in such a way as to accentuate both the attributes of quantum computers, which exploit a phenomenon known as superposition to speed up calculations, and the limitations of traditional systems.
