Почти весь код туториалов, который мне попадался в открытом доступе, с точки зрения кодирования, написан на уровне junior-программиста, что вполне закономерно, ведь все Data Science и ML-инженеры, которых я знаю, в большей степени математики, а не программисты. И сложность их кода не только в языковых конструкциях и отсутствии хороших практик кодирования, но и в том, что он больше похож на математические выкладки и довольно тяжело читаем для людей, имеющих за...

A peer-reviewed Nature critique argues that Microsoft's 2025 Majorana quantum-computing breakthrough -- and its claim that it could enable "a truly meaningful quantum computer not in decades, as some have predicted, but in years" -- is fundamentally flawed. According to Dr Henry Legg, a lecturer at the University of St Andrews, the claims were undermined by omitted data, selective plotting, and basic Python errors that concealed alternative results. Microsoft, for... Read more ›
