They really should use quantum-resistant algorithms alongside a traditional algorithm for now so that you have to crack both. Quantum algorithms are very new compared to our old favorites. One of the NIST finalists for quantum-resistant crypto was cracked using classical computing near the end of the standardization process, highlighting the danger of relying on these alone.
The best one was on Halloween 2022 when my mother in law pulled in to my driveway on the flames of hell. Her voltage regulator randomly fried and caught a bunch of dry leaves on fire.
She should have used her broom. Especially on that day!

The time I actually spend typing Swift in to Xcode or Kotlin in to Android Studio is just part of my day. The rest of my day is thinking. Research. Testing. Paperwork.
No point in mindlessly pounding on a keyboard if I have nothing to add to whatever I'm working on...

Wake me when I can factor 1024-bit RSA keys. The Nintendo DSi and I have unfinished business.
I'm a pessimist, so I'm guessing--with no evidence--that we will find out that keeping N qubits coherent requires energy exponential in N, meaning that quantum computers are mostly useless.
They'd have to give AI the same personal hangups that produced songs like Blank Space and Delicate.
Personally, I like her. She's not musically innovative nor is she the most technically capable singer, but what she does, she does well. A "whole package" performer, if you will. She's a gifted live performer. I saw her in Seattle last year and am flying to Vancouver tomorrow.
She seems like a nice person. You could do worse. I actually did my Swiftie thing backwards: I had always respected her as a person and admired her style. I only warmed to her music recently.

If all you want is endless rehashes of your favourite music of days gone by, AI is the answer.
If you want something new, AI is not the answer. You could train an AI model on classic rock (say, late '60s to mid '70s) and get all the "new" Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Steely Dan tunes you want. Such a model would never create Gary Numan. Or Daft Punk. Or Nirvana.

Also trams.
With the additional advantage that they bring cyclists to fall, even when they aren't around (when they get their wheels caught in the rails).
I'm surprised the bus drivers aren't also being forced to pee in bottles.
In front of their passengers?
(Lorry drivers don't have the issue that somebody's watching)
It just locks the phone, it doesn't make it explode.
Except those intended for the Lebanese market.
Sort of. I have a conventional air conditioner, plus electric heat. Since this all plugs in to hydro dams here in British Columbia I see no reason to spend the money to change it any time soon. If everybody switched to heat pumps and electric cars we'd need several Site C dams to supply the power we'd need. Not going to happen any time soon.
The climate here (Kamloops) is a challenge for heat pumps to work well on the very hottest (40C) and very coldest (-20C) days.
