still bingeing ancient #QIs. atm in a S3 ep, Fry made a blunder that nobody on the panel spotted. were doing a session mocking various ian fleming james bond fabrications, one of which was his blunder. in goldfinger, that japanese thug with the bowler hat apparently told bond that young boys ~14 training to be sumo wrestlers, learn to gently massage their testes back up their #inguinal canal so they're protected during their bouts. at that point fry scoffed & mocked it as complete tosh [& the four panel sausages all giggled & tittered along, sigh]. i was surprised at his ignorance. or otoh, prolly not so surprising, given my longheld view that the #LGBTQ acronym really should appear as

LGBQ Tgiven the huge fundamental differences twixt those whose identity hinges on sexuality, vs those for whom it is all about gender identity

any pre-op
#mtf #transwoman, & i daresay many #transfemmes, well know how silly & fundamentally wrong his trivial mockery of that was

one of the many many many things i welcomed after my
#srs was, by definition, no more need to #tuck, as the process is commonly called, coz it was figuratively not literally a bloody great PITA

US Dept. of Energy (DoE) recently re-up'd a $625M investment to support the five National QIS Research Centers. These centers will now expand to include collaborations with over 50 academic institutions and 18 industry partners. The goal is to overcome key challenges in quantum computing, scale systems, and apply quantum technologies to real-world scientific problems.

Center renewals include: Brookhaven National Laboratory, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory , and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Funds will be provided over the next five years, with an initial disbursement of $125M in Fiscal Year 2025 funding, contingent on congressional appropriations. https://www.energy.gov/articles/energy-department-announces-625-million-advance-next-phase-national-quantum-information #USDoE #Quantum #QuantumComputing #QuantumTechnologies #DepartmentofEnergy #USGov #QIS #Funding

Haziran ayını her hafta yapmaya hazırlandığımız etkinlikler dizisinin ilki ile açıyoruz.

New calls for a Pentagon #quantum information science adviser to improve coordination and ensure continued U.S. leadership. This follows a recent report by the Mitchell Institute that found DoD and the Air Force are lagging behind in #QIS investment both short and near term. https://breakingdefense.com/2024/02/why-the-pentagon-needs-a-quantum-czar/
Why the Pentagon needs a quantum czar

In this op-ed, Rebecca Grant outlines the reasons the Defense Department should consider appointing a Principal Quantum Adviser.
