Linklog | One For The Code

A log of the blogs, articles, sites I’ve read, with some thoughts attached.

genuinely excited for the breakthroughs in quantum: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/oxford-teleportation-quantum-computing-supercomputer-b2695137.html I had a mess about with qiskit in 2023 to try and predict the lottery 🤣 https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit - when it was all said and done i ended up with an accuracy around 1 in 40 million. Thereby proving, empirically, the nature of probability.

Point and click adventures were the order of the day, Hook being a firm favourite if I recall.
