How do you feel about Apple news, or similar aggregators?


I haven't used it, but it looks ok. It doesn't fit my usage patterns though.


Those hit the same issue, given they are just linking to various sources, each with a paywall.

At least Google News and Artifact lets you block sources and with Artifact it understands paywalls, so stops recommending you posts after a while.

The one thing both of them are missing is the ability add a new source. E.g. if I stumble upon an interesting blog post or newsletter, let me add that blog to the mix, but use the same algorithm to incorporate the post intelligently into the algo feed.


Noob question. Does this breakthrough also translate to advancements in quantum computing? Can we expect quantum computers with far more qbits?


Nope. Quantum computing requires low temperatures not because of resistance but to maintain coherence.


A room temperature superconductor would, by definition, maintain quantum coherence (of the superconducting order parameter) at room temperature.


That's not what is meant by coherence, what is required in a quantum computer is for multiple qbits to maintain states coherent to each other. Current quantum computers operate in the milikelvin range for a reason, despite superconductors working at 1000x higher temperatures.


It won't have a direct impact on quantum computing. People make qubits out of superconducting materials that become superconducting at 4K or higher, but you have to cool them to around 0.03 K for them to really work well as qubits. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_quantum_comp....

But there could very well be indirect applications! This would be very very interesting for the physics community, and surely lead to other new things.
