For now they are only being used for research purposes. For example, simulating Quantum effects in many atom physics and implementing error correction for future quantum computers. Any real applications still need some time but the pace of development is really quite something.

She: I don't give any mixed signals.

Her signals:

These qubits oscillate at microwave frequencies where the quantum information is stored. This means they need to be kept at a temperature where the microwave frequencies are completely devoid of any thermal noise. For microwave frequencies, this temperature is just a few millikelvins above absolute zero. Unfortunately, the temperature is required due to the fundamental nature of thermal noise due to temperature. Making the qubits out of room temperature superconductor would not solve the problem of the need to cool them down - unless they can be operated at higher frequency. There are quantum computers made using light/optical photons which do operate at room temperature because optical photons are at much higher frequency which has no thermal noise even at room temperature.

So, in conclusion, everytime you hear about superconducting qubit, they are always in a giant dilution refrigerator which gets bigger for more qubits as more connections from room temperature to qubits are needed.

Are these the first world problems, I am too third world to understand?!

What I really like about Niagra is that the whole app drawer is on your finger tips. One just intuitively starts holding a certain point on screen which will roughly open the alphabet with which the app you are looking for starts.

What the hell did I just read?!

Wait! How do you get the next flight booked for free and get upgraded to first class for free?! I would assume airlines are too greedy to do that.

I think they got confused between 'unreal' and 'ethereal'.

Didn't happen to me on windows! ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

There's some good English around Lemmy. Finally, a good crowd!

Error 404: experience not found.

P.S. happened with me too ;)

OMG! I can only imagine the train of realization that must've hit you dragging you through the full range of hysterical emotions!

Sorry but the steps in between are unclear. My banana is in pieces :(

I just went from 90Hz to 60Hz and it was noticably worse. Promptly went back to 90 lol.

That dog is dressed better than I ever managed!

Love it !

Thanks!

Fair enough!

I would still say I have more problems of misunderstanding with the other gender (almost exclusively). I understand that this might be true other way round as well.

Which movie, please?

Unfortunately I have the surface book 1 but I am happy for people running Linux :)

Yeah, seems like a deal breaker to me. What do you even gain then? Performance improvements?

I have an old Surface Book 1. I have windows 11 on it and it works ok. I can't run anything heavy on it of course but little web browsing and zoom meeting etc. works fine. I really enjoy the awesome camera and face id login. I am worried with Linux install, the camera will not be as good. If someone can confirm their experience on SB1, I can be convinced to install Linux on it.
