The commercialization of everything does suck. Things aren’t as much for fun as they used to be on the internet.

Removing CO2 from the atmosphere is a speculative technology at the moment.

Like, yes, we “can” do it, if you ignore all the materials and energy needed to perform that process. And that’s just in theory, in practice its bound to be far more difficult.

No matter how you put it, it’s easier to just… Not release the pollution in the first place. If it’s too difficult to stop polluting, it will certainly be too difficult to remove that pollution that has been already released. Entropy and all that.

Removing CO2 from the atmosphere is something we should only really start thinking about when the world already runs nearly entirely cleanly.

“it has nothing to do with human influence”

How does the algorithm work for other software, and is it authentic and not manipulated for other gains? Nobody knows except them, and bad stuff can be hidden away.

It’s not a good title, but it is an interesting result. A synthetic benchmark is useful in knowing the theoretical maximum speedup that is possible, and whether it is worth exploring further.

If not google then someone else will

Quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize medicine, not just crack encryption. It’s better to develop it than not.

We really are moving towards a Cyberpunk future, aren’t we.

This is like one of the oldest sci-fi tropes to exist.

Has less to do with the CPU architecture and more with the thermal and fan configuration.
