My weekend trip to the desert included a stop at the Antelope Valley California Poppy Preserve, where the poppies were finally out, if not in superbloom mode

Slow progress the last couple days because I've been going into the office for work and the commute is eating up my time I'd otherwise spend on such things.
But now it's the weekend and the switch engine board is coming together nicely.
Still have 514 nets to route - mostly the supervisor, line card management buses, and power supply but also some other odds and ends like the FPGA JTAG and part of the SPI flash.
Also I have to get the tach/PWM signals from the m…

At 7 I was walking the 5-ish blocks to/from the neighborhood grocery store occasionally & exploring the patch of woods halfway there. By 9 I was biking over a mile to school every day and often further to my Dad’s apartment. All in University City, an inner suburb of St. Louis.

Supervised Quantum Machine Learning: A Future Outlook from Qubits to Enterprise Applications
Supervised Quantum Machine Learning (QML) represents an intersection of quantum computing and classical machine learning, aiming to use quantum resources to support model training and inference. This paper reviews recent developments in supervised QML, focusing on methods such as variational quantum circuits, quantum neural networks, and quantum kernel methods, along with hybrid quantum-classical workflows. We examine recent experimental studies that show partial indications of quantum advantag…

We are witnessing the suicide of a superpower
No doubt Trump thinks that tanks and soldiers on display will make America, and its president, look tough and strong.

But the planned spectacle in June 14 is laughably hollow.
Even as the president wants to showcase U.S. military power,
he is doing grave and possibly irreparable damage to the real sources of U.S. strength,
including its long-term investment in scientific research.
Trump is declaring war on sc…

We are witnessing the suicide of a superpower
The president’s assault on science dangerously undermines America’s superpower status.

Chad Loder: "Entrances to Federal building covered in "Fuck ICE" graffiti and IDF/LAPD/ICE 🔻spraypainted with a red triangle over it. Reports of some feds shooting pepperball shots from the parking structure into a crowd that refuses to disperse. Pepperballs met with chants of "Fuck you" from the crowd." — Bluesky

"As the West debates red lines and escalation risks, Ukraine’s spies are doing what no NATO agency dared: hunting Russian war criminals across three continents, from Moscow’s suburbs to Mali’s deserts — the very territories where Russia projected power unopposed for years.
Russia’s failed blitzkrieg birthed something far more dangerous than Ukrainian resistance — Ukrainian revenge."
