Die @EFI_Kommission hat ihr Gutachten 2025 der Bundesregierung überreicht. Im Bereich der #Quantentechnologien steht 🇩🇪 im globalen Wettbewerb gut da. Aber damit das so bleibt, gilt für die Schlüsseltechnologien: Wir brauchen mehr Investitionen, sagt Bundesforschungsminister Cem Özdemir.

Das Bild zeigt eine Darstellung des EFI-Gutachtens. Die Bildaufschrift lautet: Das EFI-Gutachten 2025 ist da. Das Zitat des Bundesforschungsministers Cem Özdemir lautet: "Es sind deutlich mehr Investitionen nötig. Forschung und Innovation brauchen einen Rahmen, der mehr Schlagkraft ermöglicht."


#US #tech giants have quietly empowered #Israel to track & kill many more alleged #militants more quickly in #Gaza & #Lebanon through a sharp spike in #AI & #computing services. But the number of civilians killed has also soared, raising fears about how these tools are being used.

Ok, I just installed linux and the experience sucked. Everything worked at the first try, even in advance mode all was flawless.

This is not the experience I remember, where is the need to spend 4 hrs figuring how why the wifi card is not working, or trying 30 different configurations of X.

Now what I am suposse to do? Just use it? Where is the learning at the hard way?

#TechCrunch:
❛❛ an even wilder claim tucked into the blog post … that this #chip was so mind-boggling fast that it must have borrowed computational power from other universes.

Ergo the chip’s performance indicates that #parallel #universes exist and “we live in a multiverse.” ❜❜

I find it interesting that Mac processors were 68k and pentium processors were x86.

The Turing Machine made Real, In LEGO.

A working Turing Machine was submitted to Lego Ideas, consisting of approximately 2,900 parts and a bucketload of extreme cleverness. The original machine was devised by mathematician Alan Turing in 1936. Turing's idea was a hypothetical system that could simulate any computer algorithm.

The British mathematician and pioneer of computing Alan Turing published a paper in 1936 which described a Universal Machine, a theoretical model of a computer processor that would later become known as a Turing Machine.

Physical representations on Turing's model are an interesting engineering and computational challenge, and while any algorithm can be simulated, such machines are nowhere near as performant as purpose-built silicon. The Turing Machine still does, however, represent a useful model for students of computation.

The design consisted of an infinitely long tape with symbols that could be moved left and right, a 'head' that could read the symbols and overwrite them with new ones, a finite control that described the machine's state, and a table to link each combination of state and symbol to an instruction for what to do next.

In addition to the constraints of making the device out of Lego, there was also the challenge of fitting into the limits imposed by Lego Ideas. At the time of submission, this was 3,000 parts and The Bananaman's contraption finally managed to come in at around 2,900. The limit has since been raised to 5,000 parts.

Fans of 3D printing will no doubt be pleased to note that some of the parts (notably one of the large gears) came from a printer, but only because buying missing bits online tends to take longer and cost more. A real-world version of the model was designed and built first to make sure it worked.

The original Alan Turing machine.

First demonstrated in 1950, this is one of Britain's earliest stored program computers and the oldest complete general purpose electronic computer in Britain. Designed and built at the National Physical Laboratory, Middlesex in 1949-1950, it was based on plans for a larger computer (the ACE) designed by the mathematician Alan Turing (1912-1954) at NPL between 1945 and 1947. Previously Turing worked on the Colossus computer used in codebreaking at Bletchley Park during World War II. Pilot ACE was estimated to have cost £50,000 to design and build, but by 1954 had earned over £240,000 from advanced scientific and engineering work in various fields including crystallography, aeronautics and computing bomb trajectories.
