  1. Holy Crap indeed. No point is saying everything I own was red today, because that applies to just about everyone.
  2. I re-read post#1, but I haven't been paying attention for the past couple years. Is this a reboot/fresh start of a new universe, or is it connected (in the same universe as) something already out?
  3. I've of the opinion that you can't make money off those unless you have insider information.
  4. As of today, both Barry and Ashton have exactly 344 carries in their magical season.
  5. AVGO up 29% TODAY!!! What the hell, that's shit is supposed to happen to things like IBRX, not a company with a Trillion dollar market cap. I sometime tell myself that I know how the stock market works. But I don't.
  6. The Heisman is announced tomorrow (Dec 14th). That's a mistake. With the playoff schedule, that's way to early. Boise's Playoff game is not until Dec 31th. Jeanty is 131 yards away from the ALL TIME Single Season record. All-Fucking-Time. Short of injury, he's getting that record. He went for 192 against #1 Oregon; he'll get 131 yards against either SMU or Pedo. Jeanty NOT winning would be as big of a joke as VY not winning. All Time Single Season Rushing Leaders. Rank Player Yards (non bowl yds) Year School 1 Barry Sanders 2628 1988 Oklahoma State 2 Melvin Gordon 2587 2014 Wisconsin 3 Kevin Smith 2567 2007 UCF 4 Ashton Jeanty 2497 2024 Boise State 5 Marcus Allen 2342 1981 Southern California Hunter is great, and playing both sides is amazing, but Jeanty is about to pass Barry Sanders.
  7. I'm finding it hard to believe we lost 1100 pieces of armor during the Gulf War. Some quick Google searches does not turn up a number anywhere close to that. That makes me wonder what else is made up on that chart.
  8. The Bullshit spigot has fully opened. The Headline :Google says its new quantum chip indicates that multiple universes exist The Link: https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/google-says-quantum-chip-indicates-192059739.html The Money Quotes: The benchmark that they claim proves a multiverse is the same crap they've been pushing for years. It's called "Random Circuit Sampling" (RCS) and is a made up task of "sampling from a random quantum circuit". Yes, that's right the benchmark requires a quantum circuit. Classical computers don't have quantum circuits to sample from, so they have to simulate the quantum circuit and do stupid shit like generate all possible outcomes. It's as stupid as if you wanted to benchmark an Apple computer reading from an Apple branded disk against a PC. But since PC's don't have Apple branded disks, you make the PC simulate an entire Apple computer including MacOS and the Apple disk drive. Everyone would laugh at that, so they wrap the RCS test in layers upon layers of PhD level Math and Physics. I was struggling to describe RCS, so I asked ChatGPT about it:
  9. 1. Lil Wayne 42 - Probably due to drugs 2. Shaq 52 - Sorry, big men go early 3. Suge Knight 59 - In prison with a host of health issues 4. Vladimir Putin 72 - Can't die soon enough 5. Willie Nelson 91 - A National Treasure, but time runs out for everyone 6. Ted Turner 86 - Sadly he has Dementia; the last photo I saw earlier in the year did not look good 7. Diddy 55 - Multiple options: self inflicted, a victim, someone hoping it all goes away if he dies 8. Selena Gomez 32 - Just has a sleeping pills and booze kinda vibe 9. Johnny Depp 61 - Hard living, but he is not in fact related to Keef 10. Cara Delevingne 32 - She looks like a walking eating disorder
  10. Buy IBRX they said. It will go up they said. My $700 investment is now worth about $300. But i'm leaving my SELL order at $26, cause it could happen.
  11. My internal bullshit detector is starting to go off. The Pennsylvania State Police release the above photos which would almost have to be from a body cam. So this is exactly what the officer saw. How does the above photos mesh with the earlier photos and this quote: https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/luigi-mangione-altoona-mcdonalds-hero-unitedhealthcare-ceo-shooting/ The is no way on Gods Green Earth that you could "recognized him immediately". Maybe LEO were given additional photos. Perhaps if they had already figured out his name, they might have distributed other photos...Seems unlikely since we haven't heard about that. I'm now starting to wonder about the 911 call and if it actually even exists. Will be curious if it even exists.
  12. Grade A Bullshit. The tweet says "a breakthrough that can reduce errors exponentially as we scale up using more qubits, cracking a 30-year challenge in the field" Breaking that down: The "30-year challenge" is the fundamental problem in quantum computing that "qubits", the rough quantum computing equivalent of a bit, are unreliable and prone to failure. https://www.livescience.com/technology/computing/google-willow-quantum-computing-chip-solved-a-problem-the-best-supercomputer-taken-a-quadrillion-times-age-of-the-universe-to-crack The breakthrough, and maybe it is a breakthrough, is that they use some type of array to error correct and the error correction gets better as the array gets bigger. Sounds great, right? Until you read deeper and realize the scale of what they tested: This image is from the Google blog: https://research.google/blog/making-quantum-error-correction-work/ Yep, you're reading that right, the breakthrough research is with 17 qubits, 49 qubits, and 97 qubits. The entire Willow chip has a grand total of 105 qubits. Not exactly ready to take on any conventional computers. As for the claims of solving a problem that would take a conventional computer a lifetime. Almost certainly bullshit. I don't care enough to dig into what they are talking about here, but just about every other time a similar claim has been made for quantum computing, someone looks at it and realizes they have the conventional computer doing some unoptimized brute force type algorithm. A quick rewrite to a good algorithm and it crushes the quantum computer. Or, another one I've seen, is the "beat the conventional computer" is based on a simulation of what could happen if you built the quantum computer scaled up by a million times.
