What a dumb policy.

Also, if you say something that sounds like "free speech" their heads explode. It's quite spectacular to watch.

Their tower dumps contain enough metadata to determine all the people who spend most workdays at office buildings in McLean Virginia. And then, of course, where those people sleep (i.e. charge their phones) at night. It takes positive effort to erase that data, and believe me, it's being erased. The powerful people don't want it to exist.

So yeah, there is already a system for doing this kind of thing. It will be extended. Plebs like you and me don't get to use it.

In other words, the problem is these peoples' insatiable power addiction.

Exactly like I said.

Additionally, nowhere is it said that "the system" includes the cryocooler. Since IMEC doesn't make cryocoolers, it would be unreasonable to assume that their "system" includes one.

This quantum stuff is starting to get even more scammy than cryptocurrency.

Except we call it "cloudframe" now.

So really, they lose nothing. They've already booked sales of everything there is to sell. So might as well now turn attention to those who might be customers two years from now, and make them feel like the wait will be worth it.

The word "cooling" alone appears seven times, none of them in the context of specific power numbers.

Why don't all the others have this feature?

Bonus: you get a real keyboard.

There is no "someone else" who will give the insurer this information.

A consequence of Rice's Theorem is that there can never be a useful, enforced distinction between the garbagepile that we have right now and anything more than "no JS".

Before WHATWG hijacked the web we had apps on the internet -- Flash, Java applets, etc. They had slightly more friction than ordinary webpages, which forced publishers to think hard about hey do I really need an app or can I do this with static HTML? Now maybe Flash and Java-applets aren't the best platforms for web apps, but the apps need to be kept separate from the documents, and there needs to be some small frictional cost imposed on publishers who choose the app route -- because otherwise all of them will choose it out of laziness.

I love you, will you marry me?

Can you make the rest of the web like this? That would be awesome.

> there is a glass bridge to a warmer area, a balmy 77 K that hosts the DRAM. The DRAM technology is not superconducting,

There is a lot of not-superconducting circuitry in that shoebox; without it you wouldn't have enough memory to do anything that qualifies as "AI".

The reasonable conclusion is that the power figure covers only the components they have described. Note that the article fails to mention the word "cryocooler" even once.

I know of other research groups (not IMEC) who are pretty shameless about excluding cryocooler power and cost from all of their press-release/popsci materials. It's considered acceptable in this field.

You can't quote a number for the cryocooler without knowing how much heat is being injected into the thing it needs to keep below 4.2K.

In this logic style, data are represented with fluxons. One fluxon is the quantum unit of flux. You can't have "half a fluxon" in a superconducting loop. In that sense it's actually "more digital than" anything in commercial CMOS chips. The circuit can still malfunction of course -- the failure mode looks like a fluxon failing to move from one logic stage to the next.

The real worry is that cryocooler though. Cryocoolers that can do liquid helium temperatures have efficiency ratings around 1%, so that 500kW shoebox is going to need an entire cooling tower attached to its refrigerator.

This guy has two incredible gifts: writing amazingly awesome adblockers, and picking increasingly-awful names for them.

I salute you, sir!

Frankly, owner-occupied vs renter-occupied is not a helpful distinction here. Instead, tax short-term rentals heavily and leave year-or-more rentals as they are. Bonus feature: you don't have a massive database listing where everybody sleeps at night, including domestic violence victims, sitting around on some poorly-secured government server.

If the problem is properties left empty the solution is simple: raise property taxes and credit the collected amount back on VAT/sales/income tax (depending on country) so the end result is revenue-neutral. Yes, the property tax will be passed on to tenants, but those tenants also enjoy the reduced VAT tax. For an empty apartment nobody recieves any counterbalancing benefit.

If that is true why hasn't Bing noticed it?

The github bias in google results is huge compared to bing. Just try running the same search on both sites. I find it hard to believe that the Bing engineers simply haven't noticed this.
