Nel Cuore del Quantum Computing. RHC intervista Simone Severini, direttore delle tecnologie quantistiche di Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Dopo l’intervista al Prof.Andrea Morello dell’ARC Center of Excellence for #Quantum #Computation della University of New South Wales in Australia, il gruppo che studia la quantum communication di Red Hot Cyber, continua la #rubrica sulle “interviste quantistiche” con il Prof.Simone Severini, altro scienziato #Italiano e “big player #internazionale”.

Most commenters do not realize that no “information processing” (#computation on symbol sequences) of any kind is necessary for an agent to have #control over their internal #states and surroundings.
Think of a #homeostat or comparator such as in #PCT (Perceptual Control Theory).

Date of Easter (Paschal computus)
🔗 https://Wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_of_Easter

"As a #MoveableFeast, the date of #Easter is determined in each year through a calculation known as computus (#Latin for #computation) … celebrated on the 1st Sunday after the Paschal #FullMoon, which is the 1st full moon on or after 21 March (a fixed approximation of the March #Equinox)…"

The #VernalEquinox in the North & the #AutumnalEquinox in the South, usually occurs on March 20.

On Computable Numbers (Unzurechnungsfähig)

2023 | ausgemusterte Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus Taschenrechner

Wem ging Mathe nicht schonmal auf den Geist? Diese Frage kam mir beim Durchsehen der gut 250 ausrangierten Taschenrechner aus dem Friedrich-List-Gymnasium in Reutlingen in den Sinn. Die Rechner gehen zwar nicht mehr, dafür geht heutzutage jedoch die Begeisterung um Computer, statistische Berechnungen und Mathematik weiter denn je.

Der Titel "On Computable Numbers (Unzurechnungsfähig)" geht zurück auf die einflussreiche Publikation des Mathematikers Alan Turing aus dem Jahre 1936, in der er eine universelle Maschine porträtiert und damit eine mathematische Beschreibung dessen liefert, was heute die Grundlage des Computers bildet. Darüber hinaus gab Turing der bis heute unter dem Etikett der "Künstlichen Intelligenz" anhaltenden Idee Vorschub, Zahlen und andere mathematische Formalisierungen – Produkte des menschlichen Hirns – an die Wirklichkeit anzulegen, durch sie hindurch wahrzunehmen und nach ihrem Bilde zu gestalten.

Daraus ergibt sich ein Bild des Rechners oder Computers als eine dem Menschen auf den Geist rückende Maschine. In einer totalitären Form, welche Wirklichkeit als berechenbare Information begreift, wird das Morgen als eine statistische Verlängerung von gestern gezeichnet. Hier und heute werden diesem Paradigma, zur Entgeisterung der Anhänger dieses Mathematikwahns, Taschenrechner in ihrer Unzurechnungsfähigkeit gegenübergestellt.

Reading this afternoon:

"When we look at the world only through the lens of #computation, or we try to solve big social problems using #technology alone, we tend to make a set of the same
predictable mistakes that impede progress and reinforce inequality." --Meredith Broussard

I have found a nice application of the WolframAlpha website that might be used as a good promotion for making more visible that amazing answer engine developed by Wolfram Research.

We based our approach in the computation of the roots of two similar functions \(H_{2}(x)\) and \(H_{4}(x)\), but we decided to use the web site WolframAlpha for doing this mathematical computation and thus, these roots are easier to verify by everyone in the public or commercial versions.

Using this evidence, we showed that \(H_{2}(x) < 0\) and \(H_{4}(x) > 0\) for large enough real numbers \(x\). We proved that

\[\sum_{p_{k} \geq p_{n}} H_{4}(p_{k}) \leq 0\]

under the assumption that the Twin Prime Conjecture is false for a large enough \(n\)th prime number \(p_{n}\). However, this contradicts the results obtained by the web site WolframAlpha. Consequently, the Twin Prime Conjecture must be true.

Take into account that the following paper is accessible to a large audience of number theorists, including graduate students (check the references for WolframAlpha's results, please):

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/370785130_The_smallest_gap_between_primes

Is really WolframAlpha good enough?

#Babbage #Capitalism #Slavery #Computation: "Babbage didn’t invent the theories that shaped his engines, nor did Smith. They were prefigured on the plantation, developed first as technologies to control enslaved people. Issues alive in the present—like worker surveillance, workplace automation, and the computationally mediated restructuring of traditional employment as “gig work”—echo the way that computational thinking historically emerges as a mode of control during the “age of abolition,” in the early nineteenth century. Britain officially abolished West Indian slavery in 1833, and Babbage was very aware of the debate on abolition. He was also aware of the questions that were roiling the British elite as they sought alternatives to enslaved Black labor—particularly the question of how to control white industrial workers who persistently rebelled against industrialization, such that they could produce at the pace required to maintain the British empire. Both Babbage’s influential labor theories and his engines can be read as attempts to answer these questions—ones that, knowingly or not, rearticulated technologies of control developed on the plantation."

"In the age of AI, apparently, we can't wait for theory to come from discovery and experiment. We have to place our faith in the supremacy of computational over human intelligence - astoundingly even in the face of an ongoing theoretical mystery about how to imbue computers with flexible intelligence in the first place." in The Myth of Artificial Intelligence: Why Computers Can't Think the Way We Do, Eric J. Larson (2021, p.253)
