Haha those are my cringe tourist hands, with my body cut out for privacy

I actually went to see this went I passed by Suzhou on my China trip a few years back! It is leaning quite a bit, but taking a good picture of it was difficult, as you can only really see it from one angle.

It is actually even worse, if you look at the lighting direction in the original granny picture, the seemingly only light source is the spark of the magic wand. To me this creates a sense of mystery, caution and tension, and it highlights that magic is the only tool to light the darkness.

Then in the sloppified version, they just blast the scene in lighting from the right for no reason. Their ai bot even subdues the light of the wand, making it look like a cheap prop. I also get the feeling that they change her gaze from looking at something to looking directly at the camera. So while the 2x5090 GPU slop might technically highlight more details, the entire artistic feeling just ends up with a grandma looking in a makeup mirror.

Same problem from Denmark

Well you're not half wrong, at least the LUMI supercomputer, current nr. 9, runs Cray SUSE Linux Enterprise Server with minimal kernel daemons to reduce OS jitter on the compute nodes.

Nu er det ikke fordi jeg har lyst til at skyde ned på positive nyheder, da vi ikke har nok af det i forvejen. Men for at have et lidt mere nuanceret billede, så er det godt at vide at der også er studier der tyder på at disse "super centenarians" er korreleret med fattigdom og kort gennemsnitlig levealder, og det store antal af ældre muligvis skyldes alders- og pensions bedrag. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/704080v3.full

Why not both?

You need to know which basis the sender use to collapse and measure in the same basis. Then you need to sample a statistical distribution and the desired information will be the average of the distribution. This is very well proven in the Bells inequality experiment and can definitely be used to gain information.

It is clearly not very efficient in the sense a lot of transported bits are wasted to convey less information. But the advantages of instantaneous and secure communication will be worth it in some use cases.

That is, of course, if the engineering issues such as quantum repeaters (a sort of range extender) and high fidelity storage are properly solved. It is a few years ago since I did any quantum information in uni, so I don't know what the current state of things are.

For using the quantum teleportation algorithm you first have two establish entangled qubit pair, with one photon at the sender and one at the destination. This process does take the distance over speed of light amount of time. The trick is that you would pre-process this, and decide later when to and what information to encode into the qubit, allowing for "instant" information transfer. Naturally, this requires that you have a very good memory device that keeps the fidelity of the entangled qubits.

Not a search engine, but last week I learned of the European Open Websearch project, which builds a new free and open search index. It should already be ready to try out. Hopefully we will see some search engines implementing this soon.

There are a few additional points

• Multiple European countries have gotten similar requests, not just Denmark

• American egg policy requires washing the eggs while European policy prohibits this, making it highly inconvenient.

• They would want assurance that America won't suddenly put tariffs on the eggs.

• If america were to pay upwards of 1€ per egg, maybe they'd have a deal.
