Ah, I look forward to even more extensions to the PD standard.

Please read the article. They are talking about an improvement over existing algorithms by using quantum computing.

LLMs and generative AI aren't going to be any good on this problem. The article is using the older, non-buzzword computer science meaning, which includes algorithms for this exact problem, such as the ones used for a category of difficult problems known as constraint satisfaction problems. These problems were artificial intelligence problems before the term "AI" was turned into a marketing buzzword.

Allocating gates is one problem that traditional computers and algorithms struggle to do quickly, with calculation times increasing disproportionately to the size of the problem.

But, Dr Doetsch is confident that approaches using quantum computing will crush the problem.

"Quantum algorithms will allow optimally assigning gates, and other resources, even in large airports and travel networks. These algorithms will be able to respond to changing external factors with updated optimal solutions in real time," he says.

This stuff is cool, and has nothing to do with generative AI.

My guess is that showing them in order requires some extra work due to Twitter's technical design. Turning it off for people who don't log in probably simultaneously saves money and incentivizes logging in.

It's the players' fault for not buying our game.

I get neck pain due to stretched muscles, and will echo what everyone in this thread has already said. Doing the exercises that correct for muscle weakness helps a lot. I strongly recommend it, the difference is night and day.

Often socio-economic structures also incentivize different behaviour for different amounts of wealth, so very often it's not just money and the person but all of society as well.

It doesn't do anything for me. It's good for simple code that I could've written myself in the time it takes me to make sure that what it generates is what I needed.

Is that a Mikiphone in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
