Democrats pounce as Trump retreats on federal spending freeze
Via: Nerm_L • News Viners • 2 Comments • 1 Like • 3 weeks ago
“Now, Democrats will try to turn the public backlash into durable opposition to other (and more popular) parts of his agenda.”
Democrats are desperate to find issues that divide the country. Schumer and Jeffries are prepared to go to war over the Federal funding freeze. That Trump already rescinded. And has already fallen off the news cycle. Doesn't matter. Democrats just love screaming at the sky to get...

“Government employees' union says offer pressures career workers to quit and will cause chaos in federal programs”
Oh, look, Elon Musk is turning into Al Gore. Can we expect Musk to start talking about PAYGO, GOCO, lock boxes, and inconvenient truths? Trump has turned the clock back to the Clinton administration. Bill Clinton reinvented government, shrunk the Federal workforce by 250,000 employees (using...
Optics & Photonics News - Energy-Efficient Bitcoin Mining through Light
Via: Nerm_L • News Viners • 1 Comments • 1 Like • 4 weeks ago
“The new study demonstrates a photonic blockchain using a photonic integrated circuit, the small metallic rectangle shown in the image.”
A bit of nerdy geeky discussion on optical computing coupled with Bitcoin mining. (Note the article is almost 2 years old and I've not tried to find an update on the research.) Optical computing provides rather obvious advantages over currently used electrically driven transistor technology....

“PsiQuantum will be the main tenant of a newly announced quantum campus in Illinois, where it will pursue its goal to create a fault-tolerant...”
While Elon Musk is drinking crypto-koolaid on the rocks, developers are trying to bring optical quantum computing to commercial fruition. This effort is located in the US so the money aspect of the project naturally receives more attention. And since this is a US effort, the reported results...
RIKEN, NTT, and Fixstars Amplify Inc. Introduce General-Purpose Optical Quantum Computer
Via: Nerm_L • News Viners • 2 Comments • 2 Likes • 4 weeks ago
“A collaboration has developed a general-purpose optical quantum computer, which is accessible through the cloud.”
Quantum computing at room temperature with terahertz speeds. Something not possible with electrically driven transistors. This is a development by a Japanese team that is working towards commercial application. Cheaper, more efficient, and faster. By orders of magnitude. And stock...
This new, all-optical computer has blistering 100 GHz clock speeds

“Researchers have created an all-optical computer capable of 100 GHz speeds that runs off light instead of electricity.”
Optical computing technology is being developed that overcomes the limitations of transistors. This is not the fastest optical computer in existence; Japanese developers have achieved speeds of hundreds of terahertz. Pay close attention to the fact that these optical computers do not require a...

“Many nations have been responding to Trump tariffs not by retaliating but by courting other trade partners”
So, the tariffs have been in place for eight years. The US has seen trade as a share of GDP fall while the US economy has grown faster than other developed economies -- without the boost from trade. The US has demonstrated financial and economic dominance within the global economy without trade...

“By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America ...”
The Friedman frogs have been trying to make this leap for a while so this EO was expected. It's such an obvious money-for-nuthin' flimflam that Chicago School economists pee down their legs in anticipation of all that the free money. This is the perfect smoke machine, after all, by consuming...
