The headline should mention that they're breaking 22-bit RSA, but then it would get a lot less clicks.
A different group of Chinese researchers set what I think is the current record when they factored a 48-bit number with a quantum computer two years ago: https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.12372
I guess the news here is that now they've reached 22 bits using the quantum annealing technique which works on D-Wave's commercially-available quantum computers? That approach was previously able to factor an 18-bit number in 2018.
🥂 to the researchers, but 👎 to the clickbait headline writers. This is still nowhere near being a CRQC (cryptanalytically-relevant quantum computer).
i think the bottom text has it wrong.
this is probably a stronger argument to get people to vote for her:
what she'll do
what her opponent won't be able to do if she wins.
headline was more exciting before i read the last four words of it
i can't help but wonder if there isn't some more useful science that these scientists could be doing (i write, while reading garbage on the internet)
I don’t think any of his stuff would seem shocking by today’s standards.

Thanks to this post I learned that one can render wolfram code cellular automata using ffmpeg like this:
ffplay -fs -f lavfi -i cellauto=p="$(printf %480s%480s 1)":s=1920x1080:start_full=0:r=120:rule=30

Screencap of Sisko and Dax on NCC-1701 in DS9 S05E06 Trials and Tribble-ations. Sisko has a speech bubble with the text "Hey, the first broadcast of an interracial kiss hasn't happened yet. You want to make history?". Dax has a speech bubble saying "You bet! Where's Uhura?"

a screenshot of the text:
Tech companies argued in comments on the website that the way their models ingested creative content was innovative and legal. The venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, which has several investments in A.I. start-ups, warned in its comments that any slowdown for A.I. companies in consuming content “would upset at least a decade’s worth of investment-backed expectations that were premised on the current understanding of the scope of copyright protection in this country.”
underneath the screenshot is the "Oh no! Anyway" meme, featuring two pictures of Jeremy Clarkson saying "Oh no!" and "Anyway"
screenshot (copied from this mastodon post) is of a paragraph of the NYT article "The Sleepy Copyright Office in the Middle of a High-Stakes Clash Over A.I."
