i think we can stop the "XYZ is all you need" papers now

feel bad for teams with a person named Claude on them

this pattern is so silly. just put your damn artifacts online

Open source and @unitary.foundation getting a few shout outs as leaders in benchmarking at deep tech week quantum panel

pretty pls come to our workshop

For those who missed it, here's a quick summary of Microsoft Majorana 2 announcement: "Agentic AI, AI agent teams, AI agent, agentic AI, agentic AI, AI agents, AI-driven, agent, agentic AI, agentic AI, agentic AI, agents, agentic AI, AI, agentic AI, agentic AI..." news.microsoft.com/source/featu...

This terrific article by Siobhan Roberts could help elevate the public discussion of AI in mathematics. The interview about the Leiden Declaration is especially helpful. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/s...

when Erik Demaine closes and issue i opened on github

big computer is conspiring to take away the only thing i've ever actually liked: the computer

Eric Schmidt deserved the boos

#ResistanceRoots Ida Rhodes was born on this day in 1900 in Kamianets-Podilskyi, Ukraine. She was a mathematician, computer programmer and lecturer who was instrumental in early computer development in the U.S. She was also a fierce advocate for the disabled, often at great personal sacrifice. /1

wow — the preprint host, arxiv, is banning authors for a year if they submit papers with hallucinated citations 🤖

blowing my mind that these are two people who lived at the same time who both won nobel prizes in physics: Wolfgang Pauli Wolfgang Paul

can someone help me understand why this paper is going crazy on scirate? an awesome theory result, or a practical breakthrough or both or something else?

while i was in amsterdam for 3 months i managed to run the length of 430 streets. not bad given i have roughly the same number of completed streets in seattle and i've been running here for 4 years

It aint even apr 1 and we’re introducing the “felinity”??

claude shannon was serving here

Poor authors who post serious papers today

We are living in exciting times. Starting today, the zoo will be completely redone by AI! errorcorrectionzoo.org/__41ai

After nearly 6 years of consistent releases, mitiq has its first major release. I’m very happy to have shepherded this project for the time that I have, but this release is a culmination of over 90 people working together to make quantum computers suck a bit less.

a new issue of nate's gates is available on my website :))) nates.place/gates/

not sure if i've been spending too much time around @marisozols.bsky.social, but i'm increasingly convinced rep theory is the way to understand ideas through quantum

shkspr.mobi/blog/2026/03... if i don't vibe code hard enough am i going to get left behind or am i going to just skip out on the early days of a rapidly evolving tech that will be fine to learn later if it has real value?

Best paper name today: Bell inequalities for Smells scirate.com/arxiv/2603.1...

one of the good things about being an open-source maintainer is i get free human-mediated tokens on other peoples LLMs

ugh @github.com i think someone broke your markdown "insert next number in the list when user hits enter" feature

LLMs train on the things humans choose to write about (tending toward the anomalous and extraordinary), not the things humans largely think and experience (tending toward prosaic/banal). Noted

saturday night gaming adam.math.hhu.de

to get MLB games on your calendar you either go through google or give your email to MLB (both ew). That said, MLB has a public API which has the schedule info. if you can run a python script then this script will create an ics file you can upload to your cal client gist.github.com/natestemen/a...

wondering what an xz attack would look like on mathlib. even if it wasn't to infect other computers, but just to get a proof across the line exploiting something in the LEAN compiler.

NSF Update (Awards through 2/27/26) Directorates to follow 1/10

if you have multiple options for some logical operator you want to apply on an encoded qubit(s), do you just pick the one that touches your least noisy qubits or is there some downstream effect you need to take into account?

Casual reminder to everyone that you can just turn off the computer

dutch movie theaters are really missing popcorn. is this a european thing?

I have spent too much time this morning making a game about building numbers: https://number-builder.think.somethingorotherwhatever.com/

so Zapata patented QIR... the project that got started as a collaborative + open standard by multiple orgs (none of with was zapata). First, why were they granted this patent, and second... wtf Zapata, and third, I thought they turned into an AI company? investors.zapataquantum.com/news-release...

American's can stop worrying now. Our healthcare system is going to get so much better once we just add a bit more theory to it I swear it's good it's not just more surveillance bro I promise it's going to save you.

i somehow managed to make it 3 decades on earth without having read an Ursula K Le Guin book, but that era is over. why did no one make me read good scifi when i was younger???

running the pennylane unit tests and noticed there is a "run the not slow ones" option so I decided to try that... now i'm on bluesky waiting for 54k tests to run instead of 55k

I completed google's "hands on QEC" course and damn it starts slow, even introducing basic concepts of quantum states. Then once you get to surface codes, they expect you to have transformed into Alexei Kitaev

why is no one live tweeting QIP 😠

okay good job whoever named it "Bucket-brigade QRAM"

It’s funny hearing kids speaking Dutch randomly say 6-7
