“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?”

Often times people ask me, "But how do I learn about how ActivityPub works? Where do I get started?"

Friends! The ActivityPub spec itself is here to help you! There's a really lovely story-driven tutorial about ActivityPub right at the top of the spec in the "Overview" section! https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#Overview

Give it a read! I tried really hard to make it easy to follow, and it has beautiful illustrations from @mray!

@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?

Related, very exciting: a full Jupyter notebook including #Python and Numpy and math libs running *entirely* in browser—no server.

https://github.com/jtpio/jupyterlite

They compiled the Python runtime plus and Numpy and FORTRAN libs to #WebAssembly. It all runs in your browser.

This is kind of the opposite route from Gitpod, whom you go to to reduce the burden of server config and management. With things like #JupyterLite, you minimize build/config problems *and* keep your computers.

La protection de la nature devrait être une priorité pour l'homme s'il veut continuer à exister (la planète continuera à tourner sans lui) !
La nature & les inégalités de notre société souffrent du même mal : cupidité & égoïsme ont pris le pas sur le respect du bien commun.

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! 👍
