This ISA basically completely dominated the smartphone market of the 2010s and beyond, but it started appearing in other areas as the end of Moore's law made it more economical logical for large companies to start developing their own semiconductor, e.g. Google custom silicon, Amazon custom silicon.

It is exciting to see ARM entering the server, desktop and supercomputer market circa 2020, beyond its dominant mobile position and roots.

Ciro Santilli likes to see the underdogs rise, and bite off dominant ones.

The excitement also applies to RISC-V possibly over ARM mobile market one day conversely however.

Basically, as long as were a huge company seeking to develop a CPU and able to control your own ecosystem independently of Windows' desktop domination (held by the need for backward compatibility with a billion end user programs), ARM would be a possibility on your mind.

On Qiskit qiskit==0.44.1:

E.g. with our qiskit/hello.py, we obtain the Bell state circuit:

This was the first large part of the genome that was sequenced, in 1981: Cambridge Reference Sequence. Presumably they picked it because it is short and does not undergo crossover.

About 16.6 kbp:

TODO: many places say "exactly" 16,569, it seems that variable number tandem repeat are either rare or don't occur!

One of the things Ciro Santilli most deeply despises.

Real luxury is to understand quantum field theory and number theory.

Clothing/jewelry/car luxury is at worst a way to show off. And at best a replacement for nature/the countryside. People living in big cities have lost nature, and to some, looking at luxury goods (or watching television) serves as a (unsatisfactory) replacement.

Ciro Santilli took courses once upon a time, maybe that has influenced his passion? Ciro Santilli's musical education.

Something is useful if it either:

Given enough computational power per dollar, AGI is inevitable, but it is not sure certain ever happen given the end of end of Moore's Law.

Alternatively, it could also be achieved genetically modified biological brains + brain in a vat.

Imagine a brain the size of a building, perfectly engineered to solve certain engineering problems, and giving hints to human operators + taking feedback from cameras and audio attached to the operators.

This likely implies transhumanism, and mind uploading.

Ciro Santilli joined the silicon industry at one point to help increase our computational capacity and reach AGI.

Ciro believes that the easiest route to full AI, if any, could involve Ciro's 2D reinforcement learning games.
