The big picture: The US House of Representatives narrowly approved President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," clearing the path for sweeping changes to the country's tax code and immigration policy. The bill also contains a contentious clause that blocks states from regulating artificial intelligence for the next 10 years. The moratorium applies not only to AI models but also to any products or services integrating AI, effectively banning and overriding state regulations in those areas.

Introduction The realm of shader programming today is dominated by GLSL, but the road to where we are was long and loopy. Shader programs came about as a natural evolution of texture combination, another form of programmability found as late as the Wii (2006). However, texture combination on OpenGL is inherently more limited, from lack of features that cannot be worked around e.g. texture coordinate displacement, whilst extensions such as NV_texture_shader were never pulled in. At a point, tex

The world of computers is dominated by binary. Silicon transistors are either conducting or they're not, and so we've developed a whole world of math and logical operations around those binary capabilities. And, for the most part, quantum computing has been developing along similar lines, using qubits that, when measured, will be found in one of two states. In some cases, the use of binary values is a feature of the object being used to hold the qubit. For example, a technology called dual-rail
