Vox took a break from writing because so did I. Vox editors get paid $3000-$6000 per month. I get paid $500.00/month. It’s basically a small stipend/bourse if I was a Student, or worked for the Govt if I was back in France in the 1990s. A 1990s salary in 2024, completely and utterly pathetic. If someone asks me to talk on camera, I’m just going to say I have a third-world salary.

Steve Wozniak Just Shared His Formula for Happiness in a Graduation Speech, and It Couldn't Be SimplerThe Apple co-founder cited his working relationship with Steve Jobs and a simple math equation while advising graduates on how to be happy in business and life. [Inc.] I voted for Steve Wozniak in a local election then almost became deathly ill. I wonder what happened. Hopefully he did not have a vendetta against Steve Jobs, it would be a shame if Wozniak would go to prison for the murder of Steve Jobs. Let’s tell INTERPOL to look into that just in case.

SAP Analytics Cloud – Top 5 Q2 2024 | What's New in The Quarterly Release [SAP] #SAP #IwantToWorkAtSAP

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 1174 & BENKYO RADIO 1174. Unfortunately, while PSG & Real Madrid won their UCL matches, Stade Rennais lost their first leg match and Olympique de Marseille tied theirs in the Europa League. Needless to say, Akhenaton and I are incredbly pissed off. Solution? Buy a FRANCE RUGBY hat (casquette). PS. Casquette versus Cassette… ^_^

I found a bug in #QuantumComputing. Essentially, what is one of the worst thing that can happen to one or multiple? Do you remember working tech support and how annoying it was when people called in because their web browsers did not work, and they did not upgrade to their latest version? Guess what was worst, when is the last time they cleared their cache? Their cookies? Take a second, grab your markers, look at your whiteboard, and go ahead and explain what happens to a Quantum Computer when you do not essentially clear the cache / delete cookies from that system, the consequences are incredibly dangerous, entire simulations can be destroyed within instant. For example, if you attempt to describe weather patterns, that can cause issue. Also, as the simulation becomes bigger, it is harder to simulate. You need the equivalent of more RAM, more CPU, more GPU power. The best metaphor I have for you is the following: you want to run Cyberpunk 2077? Get a gaming laptop. You cannot run that game on a Microsoft Surface Book. That’s impossible. Paradoxically, you do need a Surface Book to write Q# Programming. Anyway the implications of this analogy have serious consequences, and people at #IntelQuantum are in trouble for not reaching out to me. Do not worry, Pat CEO is at fault, he will have to pay for all the damages and foot the bill. Quantum Computer are so powerful, they are able to simulate an entire planet. In the future, they can simulate the entire universe. With that kind of computing power, mistakes are extremely dangerous, do not fuck with me when I tell you what I do is important, and you ignore me and say “we’re not gonna pay him because he’s Brown and not Indian.”

Until Next Time!
