Decoherence is the process where a quantum system loses its superposition, often due to interaction with the surrounding environment for instance through measurement. It is the moment after quantum superposition, when a multi-state system settles into a single, definite state. Following the collapse, the system exists in an eigenstate.

Current digital art’s aesthetical program refers to a structural, databased, and Boolean operationalization of reality. Slightly different, artificial ‘intelligence’ art emerges from the statistical and derivative response to an underlying example-based data set. Which of these conditions inform quantum computing art, if any at all?

I don't know why i love this do much. Or I do and its complicated.

This unfortunately happened but here is an excerpt from what I did

Oh. There is change coming to the American #cannabis grower. It seems like seeds are getting banned in November this year.

Things went wrong. Gameboy John is dead. Very short life. Or at least his best song is.

Right before my set tonight I discovered I'd accidentally hit erase instead of save, wiping the track I'd been working on all day. I couldn't regulate in the moment so I had to step away, then came back and did a last minute experimental gabber-like bleeps and bloops set with what I had left. And I had another Game Boy with a Kirby cartridge in it, which I started and left on at the end as a joke as I finalised my improvised set on the main one. Could have been better. Was still something.

I have solid backup systems for my other hardware and software music. Somehow the physical LSDJ has always lived dangerously in that regard. Maybe because I hadn’t used it frequently as a standalone performance instrument.

Any tips on backup and recovery? Is there any way to recover a deleted song, or is it truly gone? And what's your backup workflow? Or maybe I need a virtual hug first.

Gameboy John will return. Just needs a moment.

"In the North Atlantic Ocean, south of Greenland and Iceland, a large patch of water is doing something very strange. While the rest of the ocean heats up, it’s been getting colder. A new study says it has the answer to this mystery — and it’s an ominous sign the world is hurtling toward one of the most alarming climate tipping points.

The swath of ocean — dubbed the “cold blob” or “warming hole” — has cooled by nearly 1 degree Celsius (1.8 Fahrenheit) since 1900.

Scientists have long debated whether this anomaly is driven by heat loss from the ocean surface due to changes to winds and clouds, or whether it’s a signal of the weakening of a critical system of ocean currents, which transports heat. The new research concludes it’s the latter, and the finding points to a worrying future.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, works like a vast ocean conveyor belt, pulling warm water from the tropics to the Northern Hemisphere, where it cools, sinks and flows back south.

A raft of research suggests this system is weakening as human-driven global warming melts ice and causes a surge of freshwater into the ocean, disrupting the AMOC’s delicate balance of heat and salinity. Some scientists warn the AMOC is heading toward a tipping point, potentially as early at this century, which would mean a future collapse is locked in.

An AMOC shutdown would be a global catastrophe, causing accelerated sea level rise on the US East Coast, plunging Europe into a winter deep freeze and shifting the monsoon in Africa, driving prolonged droughts."

So relaxing, meditative. Especially the stretches of classical music. Not so much the intervals of white noise.

"The US corporation Palantir suffered a significant defeat before the Zurich Commercial Court. In a legal dispute against the online magazine "Republik" and the investigative journalism collective WAV, the company lost on 22 out of 23 points. The court thus largely rejected the demand for a comprehensive retraction. "Republik" published the verdict and previously submitted legal documents on its website on Friday .

The starting point for the written proceedings was a months-long investigative report, jointly conducted by "Republik" and WAV, which was published in December . The journalists were able to trace how the corporation had attempted to acquire Swiss federal agencies as clients over seven years – both through formal channels and behind the scenes. Despite attempts to make oversight at the World Economic Forum, the security policy "Shangri-La Dialogue" in Singapore, and an offer to test services free of charge during the COVID-19 pandemic, no government contract was ever finalized.

Palantir specializes in data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) and counts both companies and governments among its clients. Palantir was co-founded by German-born tech billionaire Peter Thiel, a key supporter of US President Donald Trump. Palantir CEO Alex Karp recently published a "manifesto" containing fascist undertones and a call for greater power for Big Tech corporations."

"In a voice vote earlier this week, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 6028, the “Legislative Branch Agencies Clarification Act.” The legislation is presented as a technical reorganization of some government agencies, but it’s much more than that.

H.R. 6028 would fundamentally change the U.S. Copyright Office, and not in a good way. The bill removes the Library of Congress’ current supervisory role over the Copyright Office, transfers several powers directly to the Register of Copyrights, and makes the Register a presidential appointee, confirmed by the Senate.

These changes would make an office that’s already hugely influential in copyright and tech policy much more political. EFF first explained why that’s a terrible idea when it came up nearly a decade ago. This bill, like the older one, weakens the few public-interest checks and balances that do exist. We hope the Senate promptly rejects this bill."

"There is a bit of schadenfreude on Twitter right now about Anthropic being hit by the US government’s export control directive to suspend access to Fable and Mythos. Anthropic and their leadership have spent a lot of time and effort describing its own technology as dangerous and in need of strict controls and regulation. Now that the US government appears to have taken that framing seriously and told them to turn it off for foreign nationals I can see why people are making fun of that situation.

I understand the reaction, but I urge you to not entertain it for too long because it is a giant distraction. The important part is not that Anthropic’s safety language came back to bite them but the line the US government is drawing: this technology is apparently so powerful that only Americans should have it.

We are on a clear path towards a world of division. One should think that if a model is too dangerous for everyone, then it is too dangerous for Americans too. Instead the US is treating these models like weapons that need to be controlled. It is not just about capabilities, it is about racism and nationalism. If you have the wrong passport, you are not to be trusted. This is a very different thing from safety, and Europeans should pay close attention to it."
