In a groundbreaking use of teleportation, critical units of a quantum processor have been successfully spread across multiple computers, proving the potential of distributing quantum modules without compromising on their performance.

While the transfer only took place over a space of two meters (about six feet) in an Oxford University laboratory, the leap was more than enough to emphasize the feasibility of scaling quantum technology by teleporting quantum states across an 'internet' of connected systems.

Teleportation is a quirk of physics that only makes sense through a quantum lens, where objects exist in a blur of possible characteristics until processes of measurement force them to adopt each state.

By mingling the undecided states of different objects in an act known as entanglement, and then carefully choosing the right kinds of measurements to make on one, it's possible to use the answers to force an entangled object some distance away to adopt (and destroy) the original object's quantum identity.

It might not be the kind of teleportation that would beam passengers through the vacuum of space in a blink, but it's perfect for sharing the blur of information necessary for logical operations in a quantum processor.

"Previous demonstrations of quantum teleportation have focused on transferring quantum states between physically separated systems," says lead author Dougal Main, a physicist at Oxford University.

"In our study, we use quantum teleportation to create interactions between these distant systems."

Where classical computers use binary 'on or off' switches to perform strings of computations on bits of information, quantum computers use mathematically complex distributions of possibilities known as qubits, typically represented in a simple feature of an uncharged particle such as a charged atom.

To make this process practical, hundreds or even thousands of such particles need to have their yet-to-be-decided states entangled with one another in a restricted fashion, without intrusive objects weaving their own possibilities in and messing up the calculations.

Scaling current technology to this level is complicated by obstacles that require error-correcting processes or shielding to preserve the delicate quantum states long enough for them to be measured.

Linking a number of smaller processors across a network to create a kind of quantum supercomputer is another solution. While quantum information can be transmitted in the form of a light wave, the potential for its state to be irreversibly corrupted along the way makes it an impractical option.

Teleportation requires the receipt of measurements the old-fashioned way – through reliable binary data. Once sent, operations at the receiving end can tweak their own entangled particle until it effectively looks like the original.

The all-important quantum blur of the teleported spin state in the Oxford University experiment was an 86 percent match with the original, more than good enough for it to serve as a logic gate for a simple operation known as a Grover's algorithm, which succeeded with 71 percent efficiency across the two quantum processors.

"By interconnecting the modules using photonic links, our system gains valuable flexibility, allowing modules to be upgraded or swapped out without disrupting the entire architecture," says Main.

Having options for restructuring a quantum network could diversify the applications for such technology, repurposing networks of computers into cowtools that can measure and test physics at its most fundamental level.

Biden was great, so many people will not see the impact he had. I'll say this, the best government is the one that helps just enough, and generally stays out of the way. Trump sure isn't doing this. (-18)

Thank you for...? What exactly? Being so terrible we ended up with a fascist in power? Being unable to beat an adjudicated male feminist business fraud billionaire robber baron felon? Neoliberals don't deserve any praise. They failed to deliver people's basic needs, and now we're going to find out how low the US can stoop. (0)

Frick Joe Biden and frick the Democrats in general. I have voted for them consistently and consistently I've been left wanting. The democrats have no backbone. They have no will to fight. They've coasted for decades by being "the rational adult" in the room while the Republicans go further and further into the most insane levels of theocratic fascism seen since the 19fricking30s.Frick the Democrats, frick their decorum, and frick Joe Biden for being a worthless sack of bones in general. My lifespan just got statistically shortened by four fricking years because of this flaccid do-nothing excuse for a party. (0)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

For what? (582)

He really let us down. Yes, I do think Biden's presidency overall was beneficial for the middle class, but he failed us where it mattered most—holding the previous administration accountable. The appointment of Merick Garland alone was a failure. Throw in his 180 in being a one term President, his administration hiding his mental decline, his disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal (I'm a veteran of that war, that one hurt), and his failure to exit the race in a timely manner all allowed Trump to win and put us in a position to collapse as a nation.Biden did a lot of good, but his failures far outweigh his successes in my opinion. I'm a democrat for what it's worth. (281)

So suffuse with rage at Elon's Heated G*mer Moment is the British Government that even Starmer has 'hit out' at the Nazi c*nt in one of his latest 'uwu notice me elon' press releases

Starmer hits out by saying he would "not be happy" if somebody in his Government did it, and wouldn't confirm he was talking specifically about Musk, instead giving an evasive 'well if the cap fits...' response.

Here's one of his senior MPs unambiguously praising a man who killed sixty million people

Too scared to call out Trump's buddy in case Trump gets upset and hits us with tariffs. Truly spineless.

Frick, now even Starmer is part of Musk's gang of acolytes? How far up does this go?

'hit us with tarriffs' neighbor we don't even export anything, personally I hope he hits us with nuclear missiles

Musk-san please

Musk is a fricking nazi.

He does nazi shit, like the salute, he supports the AfD, he's seemingly paying for Tommy "But please call me Robinson as the poors won't like me with a double-barreled surname and I can't grift off 'em" Yaxley-Lennon, anti-Woke-but-not-satirically, disingenuous, lying, grifting, obsequious little narcissist.

Anyone defending Musk with "It was a heart gesture" or "He has Autism!" is talking unmitigated, willfully ignorant, racist apologist, bollocks and they fricking know it.

CRASH OUT ALERT

let me get this straight neighbor, Musk was secretly a devoted national socialist, kept this fact so well-hidden that nobody even had an inkling until he came out in support of the 1st amendment (a known nazi amendment), and in the years since then he expertly manouevered himself into a tenuous position of mediocre state power, just to throw it all away at the end by getting up on stage and throwing his best Roman?

Anyone denying it was a nazi salute is blind or wilfully ignorant

report this man for antisemitism

This is so stupid. It wasn't a salute. Why are we even wasting time on this when the economy is in tatters?

It absolutely was though

do you think we could maybe have some quality of life or-

no we HAVE to obsess over the literal hand gestures of a foreign billionaire for some reason

The rare actually good SRD post

In tonight's subreddit drama we have a user make a post in /r/bronxghanistan (a sub dedicated to gang culture in the Bronx) titled

I should boom one of these 1300 clowns right?

with a photo of some young men hanging outside a convenience store captioned

"10 upmarseys and ima make citizen app"

He initially gets clowned on as most people seem to believe he's all bark and no bite, with comments such as

N***** stood across the street & zoomed in 😭😭😭

And

This the corniest post of 2024 u barely made the cut bro

To which OP responds

We just hit 10 upmarseys check citizen app

At this point a few users post screenshots from the app showing a notification says a 12 year old girl and adult women were shot at the very same convenience store OP was at, and thankfully they remained in stable condition

The thread gets locked shortly after and a mod comments

To Reddit admins this is all lies / fantasy and cap shit is not real we don't condone violence - Lil Durk voice ‼️

Unfortunately it seems to be in fact real with the story later updated to include four other men who were the intended targets who used a 40 year old mother as a human shield and her 12 year old daughter getting shot in the leg.

Edit because there's some things I forgot to add

The news article states there are two suspects so he probably didn't act alone

He didn't delete any of his posts, comments, anything and is STILL actively using his Reddit account it has the little green dot next to it 😭

Also this pic is from the NY Post and you can tell it's the same store OP took a picture of bc of all the lights

Violent protesters who ended up fleeing to the UK. Also it's CPC the Communist Party of China, if we're going to talk about social studies and modern politics let's use proper terms.

Folx, let's remember to call the Democratic People's Republic of Korea by its proper name. Saying "North Korea" is a propaganda tactic to imply there are two Koreas, rather than one proud nation sadly suffering under partial occupation by imperialist forces.

It's only the more recognized one in the US where it's actively misused on purpose to link the CPC to the now defunct CCCP. The intent behind it is to continue red scare propaganda tactics.

It's not being pedantic it's about understanding why certain groups, like the US government, speak and act in certain ways. Critical thinking and understanding intent of the author are important lessons I teach during the first month of every school year and I repeat with every single one of my ELA and social studies classes. Those skills are far more important than them memorizing the dates of when each state ratified the Constitution.

Those protestors, from the videos I've seen, were actively attacking other civilians who were counter protesting them. They were attacking them with homemade bombs and bows and arrows, and other potentially lethal devices. And if you've ever been to China, you know that the Chinese police are waaaay more non-violent than any American or EU police forces. We also know that they only moved in when the protesters started harming other civilians.

Btw, the counter protests were far larger than the protests, but the US news never seemed to cover that salient fact here in the US. So I don't blame you if you didn't know that. I'm lucky in that I know folks who live(d) in HK and were there for all of that craziness. I also know that for some reason despite protesting a bill in the HK government (the inciting incident was that anti integration HK folks were upset that a male feminist wasn't allowed to escape prosecution for a r*pe he committed on the mainland by returning to HK) where everyone both on the mainland and in HK speak and read both of the two most common Chinese languages a nice amount of the protestors' signs were in English. Now why would that happen? Why would folks in HK on one side of a protest use English signs? Does English have some sort of history with HK in particular? The Century of Humiliation? The Opium Wars? The 99 Year "Lease." No dogs or Chinese Allowed Streets in HK? British and American Colonizers (particularly the Delano Drug Cartel, grandparents of Little Ole FDR)?

A good example to compare to might be the Charlottesville protests. There American liberals blamed the police for not acting soon enough or from keeping the two groups separate. Especially when the (Nazi and racist fascists) protestors became violent and started attacking the (liberals and leftists) counter protesters.

The protestors during the HK riots were not peaceful and attacked other civilians (businesses too, but things can be replaced) and that's when the police moved in to stop them from seriously injuring or killing other people. You're good with preventing murder and assault right? Even when that person disagrees with you politically right?

tl;dr: Blake Lively () claimed that that Justin Baldoni sexually harassed her while filming a dance scene by dragging his lips down her neck and telling her 'it smells so good'. In her complaint filed last month she insisted nobody overheard the comment because the romantic montage was silent and the microphones were switched off. In fact, the microphones were on and the tapes makes clear the comment about her smelling so good was in response to Lively talking about her spray tan.

It's "their job" to be intimate when it's what they signed up for, but at the same time, it's "the job" of the director (and others) to facilitate that by creating a comfortable and safe environment. The little bit of script that was included at the beginning of the video didn't mention kissing at all. Actors are human beings, acting is an emotional process, actors on a studio film set are also workers with rights that deserve basic respect (like not being intimately touched by their boss in a way that they didn't agree to and makes them feel unsafe).

It's a kiss in a romance movie. She didn't sign up for a Disney movie and get asked to spread her holes for the camera.

The thing that gets me is that he asked consent about putting mouths near each other, but didn't get consent to nuzzle her neck. Isn't she allowed to be uncomfortable about that?

He didn't get consent to look in her general direction! Hang that man!

Is it normal for "evidence" to be released like this? I mean, shouldn't this wait for court?

It's the Depp playbook and you can tell he has the same PR smear team.

Noooooo you can't just disprove the accusations we made in public by making the evidence public NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

The Message:

"Elon. You know the world is not surviving till 2100. You need to stop with the dumb distractions because we need more than 10,000 people on Mars before 2050 if we are going to survive the collapse. Good luck."

Send me a screencap of the message being tweeted to Elon and I will transfer you 100 dc.

Preferably as many of you send the message to him as possible.

This is important. I have checked with both AI and psychic sources. This needs to be done now.

the U-2 is so frickin' cool

in its time as one of the deadest( but best) esports of all time, competitive tf2 has had numerous dramas, some funnier than others. most of these are libertarian drama. one notable one occurred back in 2016

b4nny

Grant "B4nny" Vincent is the most successful competitive tf2 player of all time, having at least 30 tournament wins, 4 international tournament wins and numerous other meaningless trophies for his collection since 2008, racking up over 28,000 hours in the game. (no seriously) He is notable for being perhaps the only tf2 player to have made a career from streaming and for his enormous ego, creating numerous moments of hilarity.

(there will be more.)

one of b4nny's most redeeming traits (at least in the past) remains his penchant for tweeting.

his tweet game was so prolific that there is a 15 page thread on the main competitive tf2 forum compiling people's favorites

https://www.teamfortress.tv/32408/favorite-b4nny-tweet

some of these have caused immense seethe.

some of my favourites include:

(ok, this one is pretty funny, hes making fun of someone for not going to lan because of school or something lol)

despite his mastermind X antics b4nny has had a rough relationship with the community through the years.

initially starting off well liked, something seemed to snap in b4nny's heart, turning it cold.

maybe this was when he got cucked by his teammate and continued to play with him after finding out because he loves winning that much. Maybe it was his own teammate leaving mid-playoffs match due to him insisting on swapping the team's roles around for some reason, causing his team to get upset, get 3rd place (up to this point b4nny hadnt been either 1st or second in the top division for 4 years!) and disband immediately after. This also happened again like 7 years later but thats a different story.

B4nny immediately rebuilt his team with new up and coming players (including some who would go on to play in theoverwatch league (lolll)

all was well in b4nny's camp. He had recently met his funding goal to attend the 2016 international lan hosted in some shithole in england idk lol

one fateful day, b4nny decided to beat his liver and stream drunk. Clearly intoxicated, b4nny streamed on. meanwhile an up and coming top european player by the name of thalash decided to do some trolling by insinuating that b4nny was getting carried by his now ex-teammate who had cucked him in the past. B4nny's ego, already more inflated than the hindenburg (RIp crodies) reached nuclear meltdown levels. how dare a player who has never gone to LAN talk down on me like this!

b4nny also has a bizarre half-joking hatred for european players, berating their playstyle constantly for being slow and boring (true)

these factors lead to b4nny going on a legendary drunken tangent raving about europeans, accolades and how thalash is the equivalent of what someone might call a plumber or taxi driver driver in the UFC.

the most notable part of this autism fueled rant is b4nny's legendary statement that he requests his new found foe utter when he loses to him on lan(0:33 seconds in video 1 :) )

im sorry im not good i apologize for my ego please forgive me, im just europeean.

uh oh!

this sparks huge drama in the community, with some pointing out that thalash was provoking an obviously deathly drunk b4nny while others laughed at his ego about an already small esport.

august 26, 2016

b4nny has arrived in europe with his team to smite the europeeans once and for all.

[lUPS7b3.jpg]

at his sexiest, he is ready to take the win and prove why blumpfkenstiltskin needs to stop giving aid to twink european panhandlers.

can you guess what happens?

[shhdhdh.PNG]

[fgfg.PNG]

b4nny loses, becoming a laughing stock and likely killing some hobo in retaliation (he lived in la).

b4nny later returns to his uncrushable winning ways, winning every single major tournament in NA until 2021 and eventually getting his getback on thalash in 2018 and 2019 at lan, one being in NA one being in ingerland.

b4nny still plays to this day. i think despite his insufferable ego, its quite impressive hes been able to dedicate himself to this without roping or moving on to another esport. hes clearly a talented team leader and team builder.

ill probably never post again on this site but theres so much funny drama from this esport holy shit lol
