If the commentators don't start with "CUMMING AT YOU LIVE!" they have wasted the opportunity of a lifetime...
The new Turing Test; do not ask "do machines get smarter?", rather posit "how much do those around you get dumber when the machines aren't available?"
Danger Marketing (n.) - 1. The problematic practice of selling solutions to imagined dangers and threats, esp. endemic to cyberseurity products.
I hear people complaining about the UK backdoor-ing cryptography, but let's consider a positive for just a moment; think how much we'll save when we don't have to spend on the migration to Quantum Safe cryptography!! #crypto4the1percent #CryptoFragility
When are we allowed to call it "ElonGate"? Because that's the pun we deserve...

Gazing into a crystal ball, this maths could be very useful. A quaternionic take on the qubit, the symplectic bit or 'symbit' has some very nifty properties, mostly arising from the fact that U(N) is a subgroup of the symplectic group Sp(2N, R). There's even a nifty mapping from qubits to symbits 👍
Quantum vs. Symplectic Computers
In this paper, we propose the concept of symplectic computers, which have the potential to be more powerful than quantum computers. Unlike quantum computing, which consists of a sequence of unitary transformations (gates) and projectors (measurements), symplectic computation involves a sequence of symplectic transformations and measurements. The proposal to explore symplectic computers is based on the following quantum-symplectic duality. The Schrödinger equation in its standard complex form describes the unitary evolution of a quantum system, while its real form describes the symplectic evolution of a classical mechanical system. This quantum-symplectic duality can be leveraged to enhance the capabilities of quantum and symplectic computers. In this symplectic approach, the role of a quantum bit (qubit) is taken by a symplectic bit (symbit).

Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered that biologically-fixed nitrogen bacteria can potentially supply the equivalent of 35 pounds of nitrogen from the air during early corn growth, reducing the crop's reliance on nitrogen fertiliser. Nitrogen is an essential ingredient to helping the plant produce root sugars it needs to thrive. https://buff.ly/3WH3Gdi

Gene-edited soil bacteria could provide third source of nitrogen for corn production
If corn was ever jealous of soybean's relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, advancements in gene editing could one day level the playing field. A recent study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign shows that gene-edited bacteria can supply the equivalent of 35 pounds of nitrogen from the air during early corn growth, which may reduce the crop's reliance on nitrogen fertilizer.
