IBM and UChicago opened a Nighthawk r2-powered Quantum System Two in Chicago. The 120-qubit installation is operational, but performance and industry impact require careful distinction.
OpenAI says its AI has challenged the Exponential Time Hypothesis with a public proof and Lean formalization. What the claim means, and why independent review matters.
At the lowest level, a modern computer is built from an enormous number of extremely simple electronic decisions. Transistors act as microscopic switches, controlling whether electrical current is allowed to pass through a circuit. By representing these electrical states as binary values (typically 1 and 0) engineers can organize transistors into structures capable of processing…
Bitcoin mining efficiency gains may be slowing. We test 2033 and 2046 paths to 1 J/TH and examine CMOS architecture, 2 nm manufacturing, packaging, and costs.
From 1997’s top-down GTA to GTA VI’s living Leonida, explore an evidence-based forecast for GTA VII’s cities, physics, AI characters, storytelling and possible future.
Could 100 years on Earth feel like only a few years in space? Explore the real mathematics of light-speed travel and black-hole time dilation, plus the fascinating science behind hypothetical wormholes.
A skeptical Power Efficiency Theory follow-up tests whether Bitcoin mining can reach 1 J/TH by 2046 using constant, accelerating and decaying ASIC-efficiency curves.
