Nontrivial multi-product commutation relation for reducing T-count in sequential Pauli-based computation

Nontrivial multi-product commutation relation for reducing T-count in sequential Pauli-based computation
Quantum compilers that reduce the number of T gates are essential for minimizing the overhead of fault-tolerant quantum computation. To achieve effective T-count reduction, it is necessary to identify equivalent circuit transformation rules that are not yet utilized in existing tools. In this paper, we rewrite any given Clifford+T circuit using a Clifford block followed by a sequential Pauli-based computation, and introduce a nontrivial and ancilla-free equivalent transformation rule, the multi…

Donald Trump issued a pardon for the founder of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange on Thursday.
Changpeng Zhao pleaded guilty in late 2023 to one count of failing to maintain an anti-money laundering program and stepped down as CEO of Binance,
which paid $4.3bn to settle related allegations.
He was sentenced to four months in prison.
Zhao, who is often referred to by his initials CZ, is one of the world’s richest people and biggest names in cryptocurrency.

I'm currently reading The Long Heat by Wim Carton and Andreas Malm and highly recommend it. Do not be daunted by the page count of 704 pages. It has so many notes at the back, without back matter it's only ~420 pages. Hard to read emotionally, though. It paints a stark picture of earth's near future and the massive destruction of human and other-than-human life ahead, and the insane brinkmanship of elite consensus.

As fun as the previous face was, I decided I wanted a bit more information displayed.
So I switched to this alternate ternary dial (also made by my friend).
The colours are all customisable. I have the minutes in a different colour to the hour so that I can locate them quickly at a glance, as I tend to decode them first (given I usually know the hour already).
This face can also show a step count but that is way too much effort to decode right now! 🤣

I'm building webkit-gtk right now. It's one of these messy packages where a few source files need a lot of memory to compile, and ninja can randomly order jobs so that all of them suddenly start compiling simultaneously. So to keep things going smoothly without OOM-ing, I've been dynamically adjusting the available job count via steve the #jobserver.
While doing that, I've noticed that ninja isn't taking new jobs immediately after I increased the job count. So I've started debugging steve, and couldn't find out anything wrong with it. Finally, I've looked into ninja and realized how lazy their code is.
So, there are two main approaches to acquiring job tokens. Either you do blocking reads, and therefore wait for a token to become available, or you use polling to get noticed when it becomes available. Ninja instead does non-blocking reads, and if there are no more tokens available… it waits till one of its own jobs finish.
This roughly means that as other processes release tokens, ninja won't take them until one of its own jobs finish. And if ninja didn't manage to acquire any job tokens to begin with, it is just running a single process via implicit slot, and that process finishing provides it with the only chance to acquire additional tokens. So realistically speaking, as long as there are other build jobs running in parallel, ninja is going to need to be incredibly lucky to ever get a job token, since all other processes will grab the available tokens immediately.
This isn't something that steve can fix.

A more interpretable regression model for count data with excess of zeros
Count data are common in medical research. When these data have more zeros than expected by the most used count distributions, it is common to employ a zero-inflated regression model. However, the interpretability of these models is much lower than the most used count regression models. In this work, we introduce a more interpretable regression model for count data with excess of zeros based on a reparameterization of the zero-inflated Poisson distribution. We discuss inferential and diagnostic…

fly_larva: Drosophila larva brain (2023)
A complete synaptic map of the brain connectome of the larva of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Nodes are neurons, and edges are synaptic connections, traced individually from brain image sections using three-dimensional electron microscopy–based reconstruction. Node metadata include the neuron hempisphere, hemispherical homologue, cell type, annotations, and inferred cluster. Edge metadata include the type of interaction (`'aa'`,…

The central problem for American national security:
By itself the United States cannot keep up with China’s soaring industrial capacity,
which translates directly into military might.
China has close to a 28 percent share of global manufacturing,
while the United States has around 17 percent.
By one count, it is acquiring advanced weapons systems and equipment five to six times faster than America is.
One Chinese shipyard can build more than all Americ…

word_assoc: Edinburgh word associations
A network of word associations showing the count of such associations as collected from subjects, from the Edinburgh Associative Thesaurus (EAT). Each node represents a word, and a directed edge (i, j) denotes that word i was used as a stimulus to which word j was given as a response. Multiple edges are allowed.
This network has 23132 nodes and 312342 edges.

This Saturday, millions of people are going to say no, and insist that every American has a right to dissent.
It’s going to be big
— there will be enormous rallies in major cities, and smaller but still meaningful ones in towns around the country.
There will be families, and dogs, and people in silly costumes.
They’re going to march, and stand together, and listen to speeches, and hold up signs
Trump and his allies will spin their absurd conspiracy theories,…

Ahead of No Kings Protest, Trump and GOP Try to Delegitimize All Dissent
There is no such thing as genuine progressive public opinion, and therefore mass and mobilized opposition to Trump doesn't count.

webkb: WebKB graphs (1998)
Web graphs crawled from four Computer Science departments in 1998, with each page manually classified into one of 7 categories: course, department, faculty, project, staff, student, or other. All graphs included in a single .zip; also included are 'co-citation' graphs, which links i and j if they both point to some k. Edge weights count the number of links from i to j.
This network has 433 nodes and 1941 edges.
