Sabine has the science you're after

» Sabine Hossenfelder is one of the people I regularly watch on the YouTube platform. She is a physicist but also veers into other areas such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing. For her latest video -- In Which I Lose Faith In Quantum Computing -- she makes a number of interesting observations. In short, apart from some very specific applications, quantum computing, even if it is scalable from current technology, has limited application. It also has the potential of bringing down a number of current companies highly focused on this technology, or at least some of their divisions. Artificial intelligence takes up a lot of the space that quantum computing could do well in, but for the present at least, AI does it better. The next 10 years, or less, will be important to see how both of these directions develop, or not. If you are interested at all in physics, maths and occasionally quantum computing, then Sabine Hossenfelder provides some interesting perspectives.

» I've lived in Bangkok three times; first, as a child, between the ages of seven and twelve, sneaking out to see concerts by the Royal Navy Orchestra conducted by ML Usni Pramoj; next, as a young man, in the 1970s, battling to create new audiences; and finally, in my old age, for the last twenty years, when I've had the chance both to witness and to be a part of exciting new developments in music. But it is only in the last month or so that it's really hit home: the audience in Bangkok has come of age at last, and it's a young, passionate, and uniquely local audience.
