Google AI slashes computer power needed for weather forecasts
AI could help predict the weather more accurately Ranimiro Lotufo Neto/Alamy Google researchers have built an artificial intelligence that they say can forecast weather and climate patterns just as well as current physics models while also requiring less computer power. Existing forecasts are based on mathematical models run by enormously powerful supercomputers that deterministically predict …
How to download all Gmail emails to your computer
Running Gmail in the cloud has some real benefits: You can get at your emails from a browser tab on any internet-connected device, you don’t need to install any additional software to access it, and all of your messages are safely backed up on Google’s servers, should something happen to your laptop or phone. However, there …
A new quantum computer breaks Google’s quantum supremacy record by 100-fold
What just happened? In 2019, Google’s Sycamore quantum computer achieved a so-called quantum supremacy record by completing a specific task in 200 seconds that would have taken a classical supercomputer 10,000 years to finish. There was a bit of controversy around this achievement, but by and large, Google’s claim has withstood the test of time …
Quantum Computer Smashes Record Set By Google
The quantum computing company Quantinuum recently announced a quantum computer it says outperformed a landmark Google computer’s result 100-fold. The 2019 Google result used a specific test called the linear cross entropy benchmark in the attempt to demonstrate quantum supremacy, the point at which quantum computers outperform state-of-the-art ordinary (or classical) computers. What exactly is a …
