BREAKING: Tesla now provides a discount of up to 10% on Tesla Insurance for customers who frequently use FSD (Supervised)
— Sawyer Merritt (@SawyerMerritt) February 2, 2025
"The more you drive with FSD (Supervised) enabled, the bigger the discount is on your insurance premium." This new policy is currently only for Tesla⦠pic.twitter.com/Fjh0GT2fCB
This totally won't backfire lol

Starting now, the more you use FSD the less youβll pay for Tesla Insurance.

Essentially Tesla is covering part of the cost of insurance when you use FSD https://t.co/Q7QT07PZkf

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 statesΒ across an 'internet' of connected systems.
Teleportation is a quirk of physicsΒ 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 inΒ 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 demonstrationsΒ of quantum teleportation have focused on transferring quantum states between physically separated systems,"Β saysΒ 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,Β quantum computersΒ 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 requireΒ error-correcting processesΒ orΒ shieldingΒ 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 β 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 aΒ 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," saysΒ 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.
This research was published inΒ Nature.

It all seems to add up to something big. On a daily, sometimes hourly, basis, Elon Musk claims that his team of fiscal commandos has found yet more government fraud, terminated another wasteful contract or even scrapped an entire agency. Mr Musk's supporters believe that, through tech wizardry and sheer willpower, he is slashing the federal deficit in a way that has eluded politicians for years. But this narrative has a glaring flaw: our review of official data shows that Mr Musk's efforts have scarcely made a dent in spending.
Every working day the Treasury publishes a statement detailing withdrawals of cash from its primary deposit account, providing the best high-frequency indicator of government spending. Since Donald Trump took office a little more than three weeks ago, outlays have averaged $30bn a day. Compare that with the same period last year under Joe Biden: federal spending back then came to about $26bn a day. Outflows from the Treasury have actually risen since January 28th, when Mr Musk first claimed his "Department of Government Efficiency", or DOGE, was saving the federal government $1bn a day. Looking at the bigger picture, the government's spending trajectory in the current fiscal year, which began in October, basically resembles that of the past two years.
!neolibs who could possibly have foreseen this????

Almost all comments have already been deleted so I couldn't entirely figure out what is going on, but it seems the CEOs main Nazi behaviours are:
1. Refuses to stop using Xtter and Facebook
2. On his Xtter there are some statements to the effect that women in games should be attractive
3. He has changed character creation labels from Body Type A/B to Male/Female
