math prof But at least we got a great song by Tom Lehrer out of it. youtube.com/watch?v=UIKGV2…

Sad to hear of the loss of the mathematician and naughty satirist Tom Lehrer. We sure could have done with more of your satire. youtu.be/8NOZH0y7VxE

There really needs to be a language greeting that understands that individuals in differing timezones are not necessarily at the same time of day. Good continuum, people of X. 😂 I hope you are keeping well in the temporal void.

Scientific activities make such an impact. Always shut down when nefarious intentions exist.

Saffa cellist Abel Selacoe continues to remind me that there is incredible new music out there. I've not yet finished listening to the newly released album, but already enthralled.

In quanvolution, if a feature appears in the forest and no one measures it, does it collapse? Note to self, too many hours delving into Qiskit code... #QuantumComputing

There are two different “ways of being Sobel-like” in quantum circuit land. 😂

just checking -- are #quantumcomputing people still here?

The Highveld Horse Unit’s 2025 Outreach Virtual Competition was the “horse beauty contest with a purpose”, showcasing how genuine care by dedicated owners can flourish even in the most challenging of circumstances. goodthingsguy.com/environment/hi…

South African #quantumComputing researchers, universities, and IBM quantum (local and international) chatting today about preparing for the quantum workforce. Great to see more stakeholders & industry this year. #teamCSIR

Most LLMs are designed to support the user regardless of facts. Business models vs computing ethics. Some react well to being told to be honest. Others don't. Modern AI without prompt is an echo chamber.

This year’s physics laureates’ experiments on a chip revealed quantum physics in action. A major question in physics is the maximum size of a system that can demonstrate quantum mechanical effects. The 2025 physics laureates conducted experiments with an electrical circuit in

As a Pescatarian, I hadn't considered fish biltong. I hope tomorrow is bright so that I have the solar to try making some. Such a pity all commercial biltong in SA has added sugar. The hidden sugar in SA food is shocking. Even canned fish & Woolworths low carb food.

The deep fake advert of Ramaphosa selling "working from home" is bizarre.

Two farm murders in my neighborhood in the last 7 days.

I am enjoying the bird chorus. Sadly... because there never is one after new year. We have 3 hornbillls in the area and the barn owls are screaming. They won't be here tomorrow.

My understanding is that Gauteng is a grassland biome. Planting trees disrupts the biome.

I enjoyed IBM's Road to Quantum Practitioner program. Those were some seriously deep circuits we were running with ridiculously large amounts of controlled 2-qubit gates on some cutting edge quantum hardware. #quantumComputing

I am still blown away, by the size of the quantum circuits I ran in January. This is not NISQ!
