To process information, photons must interact. However, these tiny packets of light want nothing to do with each other, each passing by without altering the other. Now, researchers have coaxed photons into interacting with one another with unprecedented efficiency -- a key advance toward realizing long-awaited quantum optics technologies for computing, communication and remote sensing. But choose wisely, for while the true temperature will bring you life, the false temperature will take it from you.

A huge new CT brain dataset was released today, with the goal of training models to detect intracranial haemorrhage. "We 'all know' that competition results are more than a bit dubious in a clinical sense." Well we do now ...

Amazon advertised their job openings extensively, so their high applicant rate is expected. Many of us here probably receive unsolicited job emails from Amazon.

He didn’t want a phone. He really didn’t want a phone. As I protested that he need use it only for calls and texts, he dug in, and became emotional. Please don’t make me get a phone. So I tucked the iPhone 4 in my drawer, assuming he’d come around. Three years later, he still hasn’t. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.

Allow me to be controversial for a moment: arbitrary password restrictions on banks such as short max lengths and disallowed characters don't matter. Also, allow me to argue with myself for a moment: banks shouldn't have these restrictions in place anyway. So, 12345 ... 6?

IBM continues to push its quantum computing efforts forward and today announced that it will soon make a 53-qubit quantum computer available to clients of its IBM Q Network. It's still not quite ready for solving anything but toy problems and testing basic algorithms, but ONWARD and UPWARD.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you aren’t a ‘real’ programmer because (1) that’s a crappy thing to say and (2) because you’re awesome and all of that. Unless you're not a programmer, of course

What if you are a surreal programmer, and limit yourself to imaginary numbers in your code? You never know how powerful sqrt(-1) is until you use it everywhere!
