The reMarkable 2 Is the Coolest Gadget I’ve Used in Years

Have you ever wished you could write on a Kindle? If you're the type of person who has, odds are you've seen the reMarkable tablet, maybe through a targeted Instagram ad like I did. I'd been vaguely aware it for several years, but my interest was newly piqued with reviews of the new reMarkable 2 ($399)–or RM2 as the fans call it. And after a few weeks of testing, I can confidently say that, while not without it's flaws, the RM2 is not the gimmick I worried it might be.Unlike so many modern gadgets, the RM2 is a gleeful unitasking device with the primary goal to replace a stack of paper, and not much else besides. Like the original reMarkable before it, the RM2 lets you create "notebooks" using dozens of templates (lined rule, gridded dots, day planners, music staffs, storyboards, blank), and are organized in folders. You write, notate papers,...

Financial markets could use quantum computing in 5 years

Goldman Sachs has reportedly been working closely with Silicon Valley firm QC Ware on this for several years. Some of the most complex calculations in financial markets could start using quantum computing within five years, considerably earlier than expected. Both parties have been studying how quantum computers can be tapped for the Monte Carlo algorithm – which is used to determine or assess risk and also to simulate market prices for various financial instruments. Giant Wall Street investment bank Goldman Sachs has recently revealed a major quantum computing breakthrough for financial application, that outperforms the most advanced algorithms of previous generations. The quantum algorithm can be used on hardware in five years’ time, considerably earlier than expected, to bear on some of the most complex calculations in financial...

Quantum computing only five years away

Security experts fear Quantum ApocalypseQuantum computing could be brought to bear on some of the most complex calculations in financial markets within five years, according to research jointly conducted by Goldman Sachs. Apparently, backers are using the imperfect quantum computers that are expected to be in use in the next few years, rather than wait for the much more powerful systems that are one day expected to bring a revolution in computing. The bank’s research, conducted with quantum start-up QC Ware, suggests that programmers looking to harness the machines could achieve practical results sooner in return for giving up some of the huge gains in performance that quantum systems promise. The work reflects a recent effort by companies investing in the field to search for “quantum advantage”, or a marginal practical improvement...

Cloud Computing Could Eliminate a Billion Metric Tons of CO2 Emission Over the Next Four Years, and Possibly More, According to a New IDC Forecast

NEEDHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new forecast from International Data Corporation (IDC) shows that the continued adoption of cloud computing could prevent the emission of more than 1 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from 2021 through 2024. The forecast uses IDC data on server distribution and cloud and on-premises software use along with third-party information on datacenter power usage, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per kilowatt-hour, and emission comparisons of cloud and non-cloud datacenters. A key factor in reducing the CO2 emissions associated with cloud computing comes from the greater efficiency of aggregated compute resources. The emissions reductions are driven by the aggregation of computation from discrete enterprise datacenters to larger-scale centers that can more efficiently manage power capacity, optimize cooling,...

What 75 years of computer technology have delivered

On 15 February 1946, Penn’s Moore School of Electrical Engineering in Pennsylvania, US, unveiled the Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer (ENIAC). The machine, which was developed between 1943 and 1946 as part of the US war effort, is largely recognised as the world’s first general-purpose electronic digital computer. Computer firm Unisys can trace its lineage back to Univac, which was a commercial machine built by ENIAC inventors J Presper Eckert and John Mauchly. Unisys ClearPath Forward CTO Jim Thompson is an ENIAC history enthusiast, and ahead of the 75th anniversary, he spoke to Computer Weekly about why people are fascinated with old hardware. “People are way more into computer history than me,” said Thompson. “It’s generational. My parents grew up without computers. My generation has seen a lot of change....

7 Quantum Computing Stocks to Buy for the Next 10 Years

Quantum computing — or the use of quantum mechanics to create a genre of next-generation quantum computers with nearly unlimited compute power — has long been a concept stuck in the theory phase. But quantum computing is starting to grow up. Recent breakthroughs in this emerging field — such as Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) claiming to achieve quantum supremacy in late 2019 — have laid the foundation for the quantum computing space to go from theory, to reality, over the next several years. This transition will spark huge growth in the global quantum computing market. The investment implication? It’s time to buy quantum computing stocks. At scale, quantum computing will disrupt nearly every industry in the world, ranging from finance, to biotechnology, to cybersecurity, and everything in between. It will improve the way medicines...
