Ubuntu security updates are a confusing mess
I’ve read this article several times now, and I’m still not entirely sure how to properly summarise the main points without leaving important details out.

AI model harnesses physics to autocorrect remote sensing data
Turbulence, temperature changes, water vapor, carbon dioxide, ozone, methane, and other gases absorb, reflect, and scatter sunlight as it passes through the atmosphere, bounces off the Earth’s surface, and is collected by a sensor on a remote sensing satellite. As a result, the spectral data received at the sensor is distorted. ⌘ Read more

Securely propagating entanglement at the push of a button
Entanglement, Einstein’s “spooky action at a distance,” today is THE tool of quantum information science. It is the essential resource for quantum computers and used to transmit quantum information in a future quantum network. But it is highly sensitive. It is therefore an enormous challenge to entangle resting quantum bits (qubits) with flying qubits in the form of photons “at the push of a button.” ⌘ Read more
