“Helping other people use technology requires humility: you have to want to help them realize their goals, which may be totally unlike your own. You have to listen carefully and take care not to make assumptions about how they ‘should’ use tech. You may be a tech expert, but they are experts on themselves.” - @pluralistic

Technical note: The (hashtag)arxiv_xyz_uvw is designed to make posts that deal with this arxiv article searchable - because hashtag searches work across instances (and dots and slashes are not allowed inside hashtags, hence the underscore). Would be good to establish a common format like this for all our discussions of papers here!

Holla #Quantum Mastodon, here is a CSV file of 118 people on Mastodon that has something to do with #QuantumComputing.

At the moment, it does not look like it is possible to make your own list (Lists are important here, btw) using this CSV file, but you could follow the people here from settings.

Sorry if I've missed someone and will try to keep this updated.

Hope you find this useful :)

Twitter users are all like “I don’t know if I can trust a bunch of career sysadmins and network engineers to run their own Mastodon instances” — meanwhile Elon is just running around the Twitter data center going “what’s this button do?”

@ldbeth do you have deep emacs commentary for me?

I'd argue it is quite hard if not even impossible to do research in #quantum communication without involving Chinese researchers. What do you think?

Redoing my #Introduction since I’m on a new server.

Hi! After studying chemistry, I’ve spent the last twenty five years in IT, first as a #Web1.0 programmer and #sysop during the 90’s, then in #itsupport and #dataanalyst roles this century.

I read “My Side of the Mountain” and “The Mysterious Island” as a kid and have always been fascinated with a diy approach to civilization: #camping, #gardening, #hamradio, and #brewing.

I am a #Quantum Applications #Scientist in industry. I spend my days understanding the nooks and crannies of quantum hardware and designing software algorithms that enable quantum computers to approach various industrial and scientific problems.

I am also an avid break baker :)! I mill my own flour and everything.

My first post here. Tipping my toes into the water. I'm in my 8th year of being disabled by #mecfs. Interested in research and others with #mecfs and also #LongCovid.

They did resp. decided WHAT?

"With a credit of 200 euros, the [German] federal government wants to encourage young people to experience culture locally" (📻 news)

Applause! 👍

I’ve learned from @dries that it’s rather easy to host your own Mastodon server.

(For example at @mastohost; currently no new subscriptions though.)

That this fits into what @aral calls “the small web”. https://ar.al/2020/08/07/what-is-the-small-web/

I am very much considering this. 20 years ago I registered the domain name “verbeeld.be” (meaning “imagine/d”) and use it for mail and weblogging. Why not use it for tooting too?

In 261 Tagen Krieg in der Ukraine hat China noch keinmal öffentlich Kritik am russischen Angriff geübt. Jetzt bezeichnete es seine Beziehungen zu Russland sogar als unumstößlich. Die beiden Länder seien "umfassende strategische Partner".
