Companies That Replaced Humans With AI Are Realizing Their Mistake

According to tech billionaire and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, 2025 was supposed to be the year "when AI agents will work." Despite widespread hype, so-called "AI agents" — a software product that's supposed to complete human-level tasks autonomously — have yet to live up to their name. As of April, even the best AI agent could only finish 24 percent of the jobs assigned to it. Still, that didn't stop business executives from swarming to the software like flies to roadside carrion, gutting entire dep

Conserving Qubits by Using Dissipative VQAs for Thermal Prep

computer.org Ilse Paredes 2026-03-11 16:47:02

Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) play a significant role in improving the efficiency and accuracy of quantum computers. However, they come with high noise levels, which degrade their performance. Even though current techniques can mitigate their noise, they involve excessive computational overhead, which limits their feasibility. However, in a paper written for IEEE Transactions on Quantum Engineering, Yigal Ilin and Itai Arad propose incorporating dissipative operations to alleviate the e

Introduction While camouflage gives wildlife and military vehicles a strategic survival advantage, it poses challenges, both for human and computer vision systems. It is difficult enough to detect objects designed to blend with their environments, but when the objects have blurry edges, the detection process is even more problematic.

Maybe third time's the charm? President Donald Trump said he'll "probably" extend Tiktok's sale deadline a third time. He signed an executive order in April, giving the app 75 days to sell itself to an approved buyer after he signed a similar order in January. TikTok went dark for a short period in the US in January before that deadline extension was announced. The sale of TikTok would allow the app to continue operating in the US.
