Houyhnhnm Computing explores the idea: what if we cared about computing, and not computers?
It comes from the idea that we often think of computers as expensive. This was true, once. Now, it’s the computers that are cheap, and the time that people put into them (or the “computing”) that’s expensive.

Robust quantum reservoir computers for forecasting chaotic dynamics: generalized synchronization and stability
We show that recurrent quantum reservoir computers (QRCs) and their recurrence-free architectures (RF-QRCs) are robust tools for learning and forecasting chaotic dynamics from time-series data. First, we formulate and interpret quantum reservoir computers as coupled dynamical systems, where the reservoir acts as a response system driven by training data; in other words, quantum reservoir computers are generalized-synchronization (GS) systems. Second, we show that quantum reservoir computers can…

Anthropic Revenue Hits $4 Billion Annual Pace as Competition With Cursor Intensifies
Anysphere, the maker of Cursor, an artificial intelligence-powered coding app, has hired two leaders of Anthropic’s competing coding product, Claude Code, according to one of the leaders. The move is notable because Cursor relies on AI from Anthropic to power its app and is one of Anthropic’s ...
