A new paper argues Microsoft exaggerated its quantum claims a year ago

A critique published in Nature Wednesday calls the basic technology behind Microsoft's "breakthrough" quantum computing chip the Majorana 1 into question. Microsoft unveiled the chip in February 2025 and said it featured a brand-new technology known as a topological qubit. Topological qubits, they said, would be the "building blocks" for their future quantum computer. Microsoft […] Read more

Операционная Система Вселенной

Привет, Хабр!Сегодня я хочу поговорить об оптимизации. Но не о том, как ускорить ваш скрипт на Python или ужать базу данных. Давайте замахнемся на архитектуру повыше. Поговорим о том, как спроектирована наша реальность, если посмотреть на неё глазами хардкорного embedded-разработчика, у которого критически мало оперативной памяти, но бесконечная задача на выходе.Многие представляют Бога (или Архитектора Симуляции) как существо с безграничными вычислительными ресурсами, которое вручную рендерит каждый атом и Read more

What Airbnb Used to Be: Boutique Wants Fewer Homes, More Taste — and No Investment Funds

DataSafeS3: self-hosted S3 с LDAP, аудитом и «Мои файлы» — честный разбор до релиза

За последние годы я несколько раз видел одну и ту же картину в небольших и средних компаниях. Для приложений поднимают S3-совместимое хранилище. Для людей — отдельный файловый сервис или сетевые шары. LDAP/OIDC живёт отдельно. Бэкапы — третий контур. Мониторинг — четвёртый. Всё работает, пока не приходит внутренний аудит или новый филиал с формулировкой: «нам нужен корпоративный диск с SSO, журналом и данными только у нас». Читать далее Read more

Как утки с СДВГ довели меня до опенсорса: зачем я собрал утилиту для перевода коротких видео на домашней видеокарте

Всем привет! Листал ленту тиктока и попался американский ролик про СДВГ, где всё объясняют на утках. Понравилось. И я подумал: классно было бы сделать такой же тикток, только на русском.Но я ленивый. Снимать, писать сценарии, делать всё с нуля - это скучно. А вот взять готовый ролик и перевести-переозвучить его на русский - вот это уже интересно, подумал я, а потом задумался, о том, как это автоматизировать. Это оказалось интересной... Read more
