quantum computing paired with AI will be an insane jump.

I wonder if humans will even survive

AI doesn't really exist, it's more like deep learning through conventional algorithms and techniques

I'm pretty sure you shouldn't ask that in usa either. At least if you plan on using the word fanny instead of ass or booty hole.

What could be hotter in the heat of the moment than asking to stick it in her fanny?

um, this explains a lot

If it were just the schools handling this information then it wouldn't be as big a deal.

idk, then you have to deal with the sort of lazy administrators that cooked up broad zero tolerance policies

though you'll still have that, really. there needs to be more counseling and focus on mental health instead of just suspending or expelling at-risk students because it's easier

ehhhhhh, I'm skeptical about the efficacy of this. how many students actually use school computers and email/IM for this sort of stuff versus their own personal devices? would the next step be monitoring software on those too?

also, if this is a private company, what's to stop them from data mining and selling the information for, say, advertising and demographic identification purposes?

not to mention the privacy implications like Mikh is hinting at, though it's certainly true that safety of students is paramount and you have no real expectation of privacy while on school grounds

I'll have to remember that if I visit the UK, pick up a girl and ask to stick it in her fanny... that would be an awkward cultural faux pas >_>

one could argue that they only understand NAND and NOR and that all other gates are built from those

or to go further down the rabbit hole, that they only understand rising and falling voltages

Well the rising and failing voltage is the true / false (iirc 1.5 for true and 0.5 for false) and everything else is the transistors which are the logic gates.

good point. I think it's either a high of 3.3V or 5V, at least for small digital circuits, but that might only be for TTL stuff

EDIT: yeah, I remember mucking with my old computer and the voltage on that rarely cracked 1.3 or 1.4 unless I wanted to make it unstable as shit

one could argue that they only understand NAND and NOR and that all other gates are built from those

or to go further down the rabbit hole, that they only understand rising and falling voltages

comedown from what? that's kinda important to avoid unwanted interactions

accounting might give you a good background for stuff like forensic accounting, idk

yeah, I think the more important takeaway is that quantum computers as we imagine them today can examine multiple binary states at the same time by taking advantage of things like superposition

that's my understanding of it all anyway

E: Also random thing that's been bothering me...why are these rooms not more secure? Like, do the doors not lock? Is there not security outside whose sole purpose is to prevent people from entering that shouldn't be? Like, wtf.

There are, but I imagine the police weren't sure what to do. I'm guessing Congressmen typically are allowed to come and go in the Capitol building as they please

IBM can eat a dick, their rancid adoration for proprietary hardware and software and restrictive "pay to play" licensing strangled the computing industry for decades

https://www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2019-10-23/poll-finds-highest-support-for-inquiry-yet-impeachment-update?__twitter_impression=true

Trump had advance knowledge and supported a protest by Republicans who told him they planned to barge into a secure hearing room on Capitol Hill where Democrats are holding impeachment testimonies, according to four people familiar with the matter.

Trump on Tuesday met with about 30 House Republicans at the White House to talk about the situation in Syria and the impeachment inquiry. During a nearly two-hour meeting, which focused mostly on the impeachment inquiry, lawmakers shared their plans to storm into the secure room, the people said. Trump supported the action, saying he wanted the transcripts released because they will exonerate him, the people said.

um

isn't that literally textbook conspiracy to commit obstruction

the article about Shor's algorithm is pretty interesting from a computer science standpoint too

does anyone know how a quantum computer works? im guessing its not 0's and 1's

bits can be 1s or 0s or both at the same time which is crazy

How does that speed up computers exponentially? Computers can already represent an abstract state '2' using 2 bits

quantum supremacy isn't just a marketing gimmick, it's a real concept

how's that related
is this the midlife crisis joke thing

yes. GM caters to that market for a reason lol

you're not there yet though, go for it

how old are you?

I'll get like that in heated discussions. You just gotta detach yourself and realize that it's a video game message board and nobody gives a shit, so you shouldn't either

Holy shit, are you that bitter about your imaginary demons on this board

Grow the fuck up toasty poast

like seriously, it's really creepy that you want to call me out by my legit first name just because my home team is in the World Series

I don't even know where you live or who you root for, so this is your beef lol

Congratulations on watching your first ever sporting event scott.

how the fuck do you know my name

that's legit creepy, even for you

Astros fans mad because they gained two runs from a shit ump call and now we caught up legit

There we go

let's go Nats

you brought it on yourself, you'll get no sympathy from me lol

take it out on the wifey tonight

oh lawd, got steamy in here

brb back and joint problems
brb dangerous work environments
brb having to deal with the consequences of other people's shoddy work

rest in peace, glad you're not hurting anymore

wish I'd known him better, I think I'd long since dropped out of CEchat by then

sad news, I can identify with some of his struggle, especially homelessness

I was born in the mid 80s, Beavis and Butthead was like a forbidden treat for me

Ha, me too. Had to watch it on tv after the parents went to bed, with the sound down suuuuuper low.

Yup. Stuff like the Simpsons was verboten too lol

I was born in the mid 80s, Beavis and Butthead was like a forbidden treat for me

oh god, please watch the original where they don't overdub in Vader's "NO" at the end when Luke is with the Emperor

it fucking ruins the emotion of the scene

Try to find the original theatrical version, or get one of the fan remastered versions online that doesn't have any of the stupid edits.

I helped a friend drywall his garage cieling and it was hell on earth.

Ceilings are worse because you have to do everything with ladders and a lift. This is just patch work on the bottom half of a bedroom wall that had to be replaced due to water leaking in. Still annoying as shit, especially when you're doing everything on the weekends and just want to get it over with lol

Thank god I didn't go into the construction business, this is annoying lol

seems kinda odd to use a revolutionary Marxist and black power tune in a show about American law enforcement lol

Congratulations, you've discovered a method of transmitting snobbishness over the Internet

That's an academic-category internet burn.

it's the only way for him to understand

I thought part of the problem is that people like him are so oblivious to social cues and context that they can't recognize it, and thus can't really learn not to do it
