New paper: Quantum Approximation Complexity of Classical Optimization Problems
Can quantum computers produce better approximate solutions that classical ones?

Canada is UNDER US nuclear umbrella. Carney is a globalist grifter selling out Canadians. Sadly, they are cheering him on.

Most people believe hard work alone can make anyone succeed at anything. The smartest know this is false. Cognitive ability is 50-80% heritable by adulthood per twin studies. Talent and starting conditions set hard limits. Effort multiplies existing capacity but cannot create it. Denying biology wastes lives and fuels false equality narratives.

This is only going to get worse. If you care about antiquities and archaeological treasures, allowing leftists to dominate your country's every institution and control its government is a very, very bad decision.

This is just generally the norm in education policy. If girls are behind, how do we fix the system; if boys are behind, how do we fix the boys.
There's a double standard at the core of the "books for boys" discourse that's so severe yet unchallenged that it's making me feel crazy.
When mostly boys like a book, that means the book is bad/oppressive to girls. When mostly girls like a book, the fact that boys don't like it is proof that something is wrong with the boys.

20 year prison terms for executives? ID checks to use a chatbot but not for voting?
We should just jail all the Democrats now.

England has existed for 1,099 years, but our leaders claim it is not an ethnicity. Pakistan has only existed for 79 years, yet it is an ethnicity.
England is conventionally dated as a unified kingdom from 927 AD under Æthelstan, the first king of all the English. Pakistan gained independence on 14 August 1947. In the UK census and official usage, “Pakistani” is routinely listed as an ethnic category, while Englishness is frequently treated as a civic or cultural identity open to anyone rather than a historic ethnicity tied to the long-settled people of England.

Just so that we know the bar that we need to surpass, here are a few of the developments from mid-century Princeton and IAS:
- Computability and undecidability (Church, von Neumann)
- Modern game theory (Von Neumann, Morgenstern, Nash)
- Quantum electrodynamics (Dyson)
- Yang–Mills gauge theory (Yang)
- Exotic spheres (Milnor)
- Parity violation (Lee and Yang)
- CP violation (Cronin, Fitch)
- Stored-program computing (Von Neumann, Bigelow)
- Revival of general relativity and black hole physics (Wheeler, Bekenstein)

For the record, as NYC comptroller, Brad Lander oversaw the distribution of billions of dollars in tax money to nonprofits employing his wife as a consultant.
What was her role as consultant?
How to secure grants from the city.
I wish I was making that up, but that’s how out in the open corruption is in this city. Brad’s wife was/is well known as the queen of nonprofits. They made MILLIONS off this grift.
Now he’s lecturing us about the oath of office? Please.

It’s so funny this is like a huge story 🤡🌎
There’s 10 black on white murders in my city a month or more and it never makes the headlines

The effective altruism cult is currently spending about $2 billion a year to convince people that AI is dangerous. The major effect of this will be to hand over the 21st century to the Chinese, and destroy western values worldwide.

The lab asked whether the person is Male or Female. This is needed to test kidney function, red blood cells, hormones, and organs, as well as PSA, HPV, cervical cancer, heart tests, and more. The ruling is insane.

They’re recruiting blacks and Latinos as a shield. It’s a front!

Famous study proved that women are incapable of being judges or holding any position of power really
the study proved that when women saw guilty people being punished, their brain was overwhelmed with empathy
even though they were aware and had witnessed the wrongdoing first hand
men on the other hand only felt empathy for those who were wrongly punished
