It’s in the name: an MPA requires a page roundtrip for every navigation, while SPA requires a single page roundtrip. Any subsequent requests are part of the application itself and can be handled without disrupting UX.

> the average device and connection is insanely faster than 10-15 years ago
Using the same reasoning, I’d come to the opposite conclusion. Devices are much faster than they were 10-15 years ago, but network latency is still roughly the same because physics limits how much it can improve. So reducing network round trips matters more than ever, which favors SPAs over MPAs.

Of course you can, you can literally read the version from the file itself.

Having the author come out and say that being untyped is a feature, is definitely one way to kill of any potential interest for that framework.

Temporal API is far more consequential than what was attempted before. Their proposal for serializing timezones is about to become the de facto standard extension to ISO 8601 (date/time).

Many potential use cases. Quantum key distribution, quantum imaging, quantum sensing etc.

It's not deceptive. The whole point of the study was to figure out a way to transfer quantum information through active Internet cables, and not empty optical cables.

This is basic QM "spooky action at a distance" stuff. Quantum information is teleported instantaneously, however to make use of that information, you actually need to transfer classical information over regular channels. That doesn't mean it's not useful, see for example the way QKD works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_key_distribution

It's a perfectly legit interpretation of what's happening, and many physicists share the same opinion. Of course the big caveat is that you need to interfere those worlds so that they cancel out, which necessarily requires a lower algorithmic bound which prevents you from doing infinite amount of computation in an instant.

I am not convinced at all:

You can use a Chromium browser like Samsung Internet
> View PDFs in browser
Chrome is adding support for that https://www.androidauthority.com/open-pdf-files-chrome-andro...
Not to mention, performance is better on Chrome (and Samsung Internet), and the difference is obvious in Speedometer benchmark.

You don't need "classical encryption" for quantum key distribution. With QKD you can provably detect if a MITM attack happened. With classical methods you can never be 100% sure, although how much of that matters in practice is another question.

It's better in most ways, for example, just recently LG decided to rewrite its TV apps from RN to Flutter

> Most of our apps use React. When we first adopted React, we were pleased with the development productivity it provided, but sadly its initial performance was subpar in terms of start-up time, memory consumption, and responsiveness. After significant and complicated optimizations we reached performance benchmarks that were good enough, and yet we desired a new technology that was both fast and simple.
> To our delight, our very first prototype with Flutter easily exceeded our target benchmarks! Without any optimization whatsoever, our Flutter rewrite launched twice as fast as our original app, consumed less runtime memory, and felt more responsive and playful to use

Yes, it probably even works in total isolation from any radiation, because it can interact with quantum vacuum and give off energy to create photons. That's the next thing they are trying to prove.

It's not like we are any closer to resolving the measurement problem today. I wouldn't be quick to dismiss Wheeler, all alternative theories for this problem are radical or "unattractive".
