From Qubits to Qubucks: Quantum Digital Currency

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2025-09-26 00:41:00

Quantum computing is often discussed in terms of its potential to revolutionize scientific discovery and to challenge cryptographic paradigms [1], but it could also change our relationship with money. By using quantum states, quantum currency could solve the double-spending problem and address throughput issues associated with distributed ledgers (blockchain), paving the way for the digital cash of the future.

Watch Stephen King and Takashi Miike Celebrate the Glorious Gore of ‘Texas Chain Saw Massacre’

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-11-09 04:45:42

“Every frame has something unnerving in it,” Patton Oswalt says in the trailer for Chain Reactions—a new documentary about the enduring influence and impact of 1974’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Tobe Hooper’s grisly classic has often been imitated and has spawned some regrettable sequels and remakes, but the original remains a uniquely terrifying product of a very specific time and place, not just in pop culture, but also in the realms of independent cinema.

Trump Admin Has Dropped a Third of All Investigations Into Big Tech, Advocates Say

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-11-19 08:15:41

Trump talked a big game during the election about taking the fight to Silicon Valley. But, since taking office, the former reality star seems to have done little to make good on that promise. In fact, a recent survey of his actions claims that Trump, whose political victory was partially propelled by gargantuan gobs of cash from tech firms and their executives, has dropped a third of all investigations and enforcement actions against tech companies since taking power.

Apple is preparing a Siri upgrade that could make Gemini users really jealous

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Apple is reportedly preparing a major overhaul for Siri. The updated Siri is likely to be able to control a variety of third-party apps, performing very specific actions inside those apps. The update is expected to roll out in Spring next year with the iOS 26.4 update.

Reverse engineering GitHub Actions cache to make it fast

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-05 17:17:43

Before this work began, we already had a faster alternative to Github Actions cache. Our approach was different: we forked each of the popular first-party actions that depended on Actions cache to point to our faster, colocated cache. But my coworkers weren’t satisfied with that solution, since it required users to change a single line of code. Apart from the user experience, maintaining these forks steadily turned into a nightmare for us. We kept at it for a while, but eventually reached an in

In my opinion, the worst bugs are the ones you decide not to look further into. Maybe the problem only manifests 2% of the time, or when you run the code on a particular brand of toaster. Maybe the customer doesn't supply enough information to begin narrowing down the cause. Maybe you just don't have enough time to track the issue down fully. And everyone eventually moves on.
