My dog decided I wasn’t taking him seriously on only playing fetch with toys other than balls so he got a ball and maintained eye contact with me as he destroyed it.

Breaking RSA in 🥧 days 🤔
Breaking RSA-2048 with 23,000 cat qubits. 🐈 In 3.14 days
This is the finding of our new paper, the latest resource estimate for Shor’s algorithm, the benchmark the whole field uses to compare quantum hardware 📄
The results are a record low for total quantum resources at this speed of execution, about 40 times fewer physical qubits than @GoogleQuantumAI 's Craig Gidney 2025 estimate. 🏁
RSA-2048 is the lock behind secure websites, banking and software updates 🔐 Shor's algorithm has been able to break it, on paper since 1994. Nobody has built the machine yet, but every year the estimate of how big it needs to be gets a little smaller.
In 2019, the best estimate was 20 million qubits. In 2024, ours was just under 100,000. Now 22,593, in 3.14 days. Yes, pi 🥧
Small isn't enough. Fast isn't enough. The new study optimizes for both. 😼
Bitcoin, Ethereum and most blockchains aren't secure either, about 30,000 qubits would be needed to crack a Bitcoin key in about an hour ₿ ⏳
How we got here, what it means for cryptography, and when it all converges, our CEO Théau Peronnin talks about it in the blog 👇

This doesn’t surprise me at all. I have an enterprise license and I have several
threads of me calling it out for not following instructions and it responding with, “You’re right to push back, I didn’t actually do XYZ…”

In yet another sign of AI’s surging dominance over human minds, OpenAI recently claimed to solve one of math’s biggest questions: the Navier-Stokes problem. But now three mathematicians have showed OpenAI’s work dodges the question rather than solving it.View quoted post on X

Quite a damper on PSL season
Your can of pumpkin puree is squash. Libby's grows and cans a tan, oblong variety from the butternut family and labels it 100% pure pumpkin.View quoted post on X
That's legal, and FDA has said so in writing since 1938. Their compliance guide tells canners the agency will not take action against the word pumpkin on anything made from golden fleshed, sweet squash. Pumpkin has no real botanical definition and it's a word for certain types of squash.
The variety is called Dickinson, the same species as butternut, and Libby's grows it by the thousands of acres around its cannery in Morton, Illinois.
Libby's makes about 85% of the canned pumpkin in the country and doesn't hide any of this. Nestle's own harvest release names the variety and says outright that pumpkin is a form of squash.
