Yet another media piece we can safely put in the rapidly growing pile of material designed to drive a wedge between White people and Asian people.
You have to understand that this is a deliberate attempt to push Asian people who actually have successfully established themselves and their families in the West into taking part in this new Woke Mob. These articles do nothing to actually address the issues Asian people face here, which are often minimized away by people across the spectrum as simply being 'microaggressions'. The goal is purely to create anti-White sentiment amongst 2nd and 3rd generation children of Asian immigrants who are growing up more privileged than their parents and are in a prime position to be fodder for this movement.
Reject this. The fact that people of Asian descent have succeeded so well even _despite_ the fading vestiges of racism that persist in the West is a very, very unfortunate truth that many seek to bury. It's a problematic fact, because it shows that in reality, work ethic and intelligence have far more to do with success than prejudice does, at least within the last sixty years. The only way to bury this reality is to blow every possible incident out of proportion and drive a rhetorical wedge in between the races, for divide-and-conquer purposes.
There are valid racial issues that need to be aired out and addressed between White and Asian people, issues that can and are being solved generationally; all of this effort will be thrown out if Asian people give in to the media's push to skew everyone possible toward an anti-White style of rhetoric.
> In the future, the Cleveland Clinic will also purchase a 1,000+ qubit IBM next-generation quantum system for installation at a data center in its home town.
LOL, they better actually hit some of their targets to get past 53 qubits if they want to live up to this bullshit hype.
For all IBM has been talking about their QC work, they still only have a measly handful of noisy useless qubits that can't do anything worth writing home about. It would be hard to believe that a medical company would want one, until we remember all the back-room deals and nepotism inherent to the American medical industry. Years' of people's insurance payments frittered away on a magical machine that won't do anything to help anyone's medical outcomes compared to spending the same amount of money telling Yanks to stop shoving fried sugar into every hole.
I'm actually totally willing to believe that ML for medicine is a great application. When I go to a doctor for a non-emergency issue, what am I doing other than describing a bunch of symptoms, and then the doctor looks within their memory to see if it is something they know about, or if they need more information to be sure?
Hell, my doctor fires up some kind of Doctor Google, proprietary paid system, and searches for things all the time. It doesn't even offend me, damn knows that's a huge component of my job as well. Extending that to inputting a formal description of my symptoms and narrowing down the results doesn't seem like a bad move.
Even better would be tying something like HealthKit or other data sources into the system. Need to make a food log or a bowel log or whatever? Why _not_ use an app and actually get structured data some system can make sense of?
Here's the thing: gate-model QPUs are a decade or more off from being applicable to this problem. Quantum annealers, on the other hand, are basically neural-network machines in a box, so if you want to apply quantum computing to this problem, IBM probably isn't the vendor to go with. Their QAOA work doesn't look like it's any better than using an actual annealer, to boot.
> Right now it seems like we'll end up with the same outcome of running Proxmox but we'll spend quite a bit of time getting up and running with Kubernetes
This is 90% of shops. The reason people are deploying k8s is not because they _need_ it, it's because the devops working there want to get k8s under their belts and onto their resumes so they're more hireable long-term. It's a feedback cycle.
We hired a new guy and all he wants to do is tear out everything I have spent 3 years building - after I was denied being allowed to use Nomad or K8S three years ago, due to rational arguments around its complexity and our needs. Of course, he wants to replace it with k8s. No respect for what has been built, no appetite to help me go after the low-hanging fruit that would get us 80% of the way to k8s deployment speeds without having to significantly re-architect anything. Nope! Gotta be CLOUD NATIVE!!!
TBQH from what I have seen it's overengineered and only makes sense to use when someone else is running it for you. Then you just consume it as a cluster and don't worry about what's inside the black box. This makes sense for younger Zoomer devops who have never even touched VMware or any on-prem servers and think everything is always clouds all the time.
IMO, you should write up two alternate timelines: the one where you spend a few months getting K8S to a POC stage, and the one where you spend that same time tuning the deployment and management of your application in its current habitat. Probably the kinds of features and reliability you can deliver in the latter case will be far more appealing once you actually lay them out. Don't play in the "k8s ideal utopian state vs. actual current state" fight, play in the "k8s expected early outcomes vs. maturing current model" fight.
They both look like boring electric razors. The dashboard looks like someone awkwardly bolted not one, but two ipads onto it. Nothing looks like it's actually designed to fit together, it's a clash of styles with no flow.
Gross. Can we just get a normal looking, Corolla-price-range EV for normal people already? I don't give a shit if it only has 50km range and no luxury features whatsoever.
> On the other hand, no hacker is going to be able to compromise my network via this device, so maybe this truly is a better path forward for IOT devices?
But on the other hand, your network has already been compromised, in the sense that you have a connected device within your home that you cannot control at all, that connects to the internet as long as it has power and can do whatever it is programmed to do...
Maybe for a sleep apnea machine this isn't catastrophic, but consider this Ubiquiti hack that's in the news; it wouldn't surprise me if the security situation around medical stuff isn't any better than with a networking company, after all.
Me, I want to control what's connected in my house. At least a little.
I think they meant it connects via a cellular network rather than wifi, so even if it were compromised it couldn't do anything to devices on the internal network. So security breaches are limited to the one device, and doesn't provide an opening to other devices.
Mazda has also said they will be decreasing the importance of an infotainment screen and focusing on having quality switchgear. People who actually _enjoy driving_ like these kinds of touches; in general, in the segments Mazda competes in, they have some of the most fun offerings available.
For people who consider a car to be a status symbol that transports them from place to place, it's not the ideal choice, but I'm glad there's some variety. Otherwise, we'll all just be driving electric jellybeans with an iPad awkwardly bolted to the dashboard.
And the price of 32€/kg (+shipping) is not really cheap, it's typically what you'd pay at a regular store. This whole operation sounds a bit too marketing-y to me.
