Heavy AI use at work has a surprising relationship to burnout, new study finds

Record-Setting Qubit Performance Marks Important Step Toward Practical Quantum Computing

The promise of so-called “quantum advantage” is simple. By harnessing the counterintuitive rules of quantum mechanics, quantum computers should be able to—in theory—surpass the computational potential of any classical supercomputer. But before quantum advantage drastically changes information technology as we know it, researchers have yet to address the many hurdles that are preventing quantum computers from entering into the mainstream. That said, quantum computing as a field has evolved drama

Product of Additive Inverses

Product of Additive Inverses By Susam Pal on 29 May 2025 A negative number multiplied by another negative number results in a positive number. Most of us learnt this rule during our primary or secondary school years. 'Negative times negative equals positive' was a phrase drummed into us during mathematics lessons. In this article, we will prove this rule, not just for numbers but for any algebraic structure that, in a general sense, behaves somewhat like numbers. Contents Illustration Let u

How The New York Times is (still) getting gamed by the right

Lately, it has been difficult to ignore a tendency at The New York Times to make astonishingly bad news judgments. The paper’s obsession with a view from nowhere is long-standing, but as Republicans increasingly circulate insane conspiracy theories and racist nonsense, the cult of centrism has taken a self-destructive turn. The most recent — and perhaps most egregious — way this has surfaced is a story about New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s application to Columbia University in 2009,

Can an email go 500 miles in 2025?

Once upon a time, there was a university president who couldn’t send an email more than 500 miles, and the wise sysadmin said that’s not possible, so the president said come to my office, and lo and behold, the emails stopped before going 500 miles. Has technology improved? Can we send an email farther than 500 miles in 2025? There’s a lot to the story that’s obviously made up, but if we fix the details so that it can happen, we can reproduce it. connect We need some code to do a nonblocking

Trying to find meaning in owning an old Mac

Trying To Find Meaning In Owning An Old Mac My Dad loves classic cars. He goes to car shows and takes photos of beautiful chunks of metal from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Whenever we see those cars on the road he points them out like he's a spotted a rare bird out on a bush walk. Those are the cars of his youth and for the time, that was the big mainstream technology accessible to people that caused a change in society. Cities were built around cars and so were lifestyles.

Lightfastness Testing of Colored Pencils

Have you ever spent hours on a piece of artwork, only to watch it fade over time? It’s a frustrating reality for many artists, and it all comes down to something called ‘lightfastness’ – a medium’s resistance to fading over time when exposed to light. If you want your work to last, choosing supplies with good lightfast ratings is essential. But how do we know which art supplies will hold up over time? Some brands advertise their materials as “lightfast,” but do their claims hold up in real-worl

On latency, measurement, and optimization in algorithmic trading systems

"The speed of light sucks." - John Carmack ‍ Software engineers within the world of low-latency automated trading (colloquially known as "high-frequency trading" or HFT) obsess over speed. From purchasing private bandwidth between microwave towers to analyzing x86 instructions from different compiler versions, those with experience in this industry have seen colossal time and expense committed to the problem of optimizing code and network paths for minimal execution times.

Spending Too Much Money on a Coding Agent

On making use of large thinking models. For a year, I’d been coding almost every day with Cursor and Claude Sonnet. Anthropic’s 3.5 and 3.7 Sonnet each rightly earned their dominant place on the programming model charts: they were the least-bad coding models yet. In the earliest days of LLMs, there was tremendous interest in ever-larger model releases. Hype around bigger, slower models has since waned, as Claude 3 Opus, GPT 4.5, and OpenAI o1 – all large and technically impressive model releas
