Quantum computing is fascinating, but this news is not as as big a leap as the article suggests. Dwave quantum annealing which is much noisier than stable quantum structures (universal quantum computers) being worked on by IBM which are more likely to solve today’s problem with quantum circuits.
This almost doubles their current systems so ️

I have read most, but not all of his work but did't know that's how he died.
I wasn't old enough in the 90s to understand HIV/AIDS completely but remember it being a death sentence (I remember a rumor that you could get it by using public toilets)

Google wasn't responsible for any of the major breakthroughs in AI. The current AI boom is driven by deep learning[1], due to Alex Krizhevsky [2][3], who was then a Ph.D. student @ University of Toronto. Subsequently, several significant breakthroughs have been in Universities & outside Google or FAANGs (Siri, DeepMind were all questions)

Given that I am planning to use Uber/Lyft for the commute - this seems great. My monthly parking costs are already $325 per month and given that my one-way commute using uber costs 20 - 25 this is what I need to stop driving.
So how do I get an invite for this ?

I was notified about investor school from y-combinator's channel on youtube and ended up binge watching.
As somebody who has been trying to break into angel investing, I found the startup investor school invaluable. It was great to learn from some of the top names in the field, and I hope to be at the next investor school.
