When people talk about #quantumcomputing it's usually about science or hardware. Here's something for those of us on the software side. I first put this together for friends who were caught up in FAANG layoffs. I hope this proves useful for others also. medium.com/@hellodavidryan/u…

Seeing someone upvote an answer I made on Stack Overflow over 10 years ago, about a product I helped build over 12 years ago, just makes me want to ask them "why are you using this? is everything okay?" 😂

It was an absolute joy to work with @tufftones63 on this album. If you like @TheAvalanches or @mrscruff1 or @nightmaresonwax you're going to love this @trovaire debut (on vinyl as it should be). Straight outta... Australia?
Down to Melbourne to catch up with our mix engineer @tufftones63, who added the sparkle to our debut album "The Stonefruit Sessions". We hooked up with Tony after being fans of his over the years, especially his work with fellow Aussie acts @theavalanches and @cutcopy.

Just pick a technology keyword, make up some lies, and sell some kind of subscription. This seems way easier than actually working in Deep Tech.

For those outside of the TAM of this post: 1. room-temp quantum computing already exists 2. the "China" thing was one of many recent cases of an interesting research paper being turned into some weird and obvious lie about "RSA hacked!!!" 3. AI clickbait is getting out of hand

Anyone have experience reclaiming a YouTube account? An account that has sentimental value (my old band account from the mid-2000s) was hacked. Can't reclaim, and the human customer support don't know what to do, as it was a pre-Google original YouTube account! Thoughts?

Bring back advertising like this. And PRODUCTS like this. No AI, no screens, no menu diving, no subscription...
Bring back the golden era of synth advertising please! Love this classic #Moog 80s vibe.

I feel sad for the Google AI team. Overshadowed by Anthropic and OpenAI, and labouring under "meh" product positioning and naming. Claude's Artifacts and ChatGPT's Canvas get the headlines. But nobody really talks about Google's Gems. It's great but... Gems. Y'know? 🤷

Legendary dance music history. Nice work, UK.
Did you know? "Voodoo Ray" by A Guy Called Gerald was recognised as the UK's first #acidhouse track... and awarded a blue plaque as an official part of UK history!

Do I have any friends who are big into @airtable? Any workarounds to get a Dark Mode? Or are we staring directly into the sun?

I'm getting ratio'd... AWS cost of SageMaker notebooks versus cost of running tasks on the IonQ QPU.

Don't do this. This is a pretty innocuous example, but even this one falls under the category of "nobody needs to know this". I know a bunch of these hosts, and all of them share how creepy it is to constantly see these kinds of comments from men on the www internet dot com.

Reminder... Product Hunt's daily lists might be flooded with AI wrapper startups, but the site is still a useful part of a go-to-market strategy. Apple, Claude, etc think so.

Doing a test of @elevenlabs as the potential platform to create a voice version of my book (on quantum algorithms), and I'm happy to see (and hear) such great Australian voice models!

Trying to buy a few copies of the "Ike and Mike" quantum computing books to give as gifts. Not only expensive new at the moment, but the even the op shops/thrift stores have caught on... #quantumcomputing

Little known fact that the artwork on the cover of Scott's book is based on the facial expression of those of us trying to buy copies of it and seeing the second hand prices...

Excellent piece from @FryRsquared and Bloomberg, with a great cameo from @Liv_Lanes. Loved the Singapore section. Getting a tour of those satellites while I was over there with QB nudged my thinking about sovereign capability and our role as an industry. youtu.be/1_gJp2uAjO0?si=wAik…

The SoftBank ads on LinkedIn are getting out of control. This... is the same guy who lost $32B for his fund?

Congrats to the Meta team that worked on this project (including my partner - so I'm more than a little biased). So much groundbreaking material engineering here, above and beyond the AR device itself. Amazing progress. about.fb.com/news/2024/09/in…
