Unless I'm missing something it looks like it doesn't use Denuvo? (Steam lists a custom EULA but I don't see Denuvo listed.)

It's not a GUI library, but Jupyter was pretty much made for the kind of mathematical/scientific exploratory programming you're interested in doing. It's not the right tool for making finished products, but is intended for creating lab notebooks that contain executable code snippets, formatted text, and visual output together. Given your background experience and the libraries you like, it seems like it'd be right up your alley.

You can't really, as others have pointed out, but I like Philip K Dick's definition of reality: "Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away."

The attached picture says 133 qubits, so whatever that chip is (edit: Heron) it's not this thing.

IBM's post (that the article links) says:

Breaking the 1,000-qubit barrier with Condor

We have introduced IBM Condor, a 1,121 superconducting qubit quantum processor based on our cross-resonance gate technology. Condor pushes the limits of scale and yield in chip design with a 50% increase in qubit density, advances in qubit fabrication and laminate size, and includes over a mile of high-density cryogenic flex IO wiring within a single dilution refigerator.

So, it sounds like this is actually another fridge sized system.

This story may be amusing, but it's actually a serious issue if Apple is doing this and people are not aware of it because cellphone imagery is used in things like court cases. Relative positions of people in a scene really fucking matter in those kinds of situations. Someone's photo of a crime could be dismissed or discredited using this exact news story as an example -- or worse, someone could be wrongly convicted because the composite produced a misleading representation of the scene.

Still WTF, but at least the label matches the picture...

Edit: the lower left probably says something about black pepper and salt (ブラックペッパー＆ソルト) -- I can't tell what the rest of the characters are though through the JPG compression. Probably (\ included) for the parenthesis bit?

I've shared my "MS Paint"-like sockpuppet parody impressions over at !sockpuppetsociety as well as my own twists on memes and anime screenshot comics and such in !animepics, !animemes, etc. If I can post this and this and this and this, you can post something you made too.

Just find the right community for your art and maybe some people will enjoy it.

Don't be surprised if people blow raspberries at your work though; that's just kind of what people do with art. :p

There are two US antitrust cases against Google right now:

• U.S. and Plaintiff States v. Google LLC (2020) (in trial; list of many documents)
• U.S. and Plaintiff States v. Google LLC (2023) (Complaint PDF)

The first is related to things like paying to be the default search engine on iPhone, Firefox, etc. The second is related to ad tech. Neither really directly addresses the issues that average people have with Google's behavior though, so keep filing complaints!

It's a small wonder that people can travel into space at all. I mean, the problem is hard enough already for us squishy humans, but just imagine how much worse it would be if we were merpeople... Air's about 1.2kg/m^3 at sea level; liquid water is about 1000kg/m^3! Or, if we were the size and weight of blue whales? We'd probably never get off the planet -- let alone to the moon.

I could really use another A Hat in Time, honestly. Not the Death Wish part -- I've still got Dark Souls 3 just sitting there waiting for me when I'm ready for that... -- but the chill, cutesy, fun main game part. Anyone got some recommendations?

Do you have systemd-initiald configured correctly? :-)

This is the gag error message you sometimes get when you visit the 4chan parody in the VN called "don't take it personally, babe, it just ain't your story".
