You know the saying that goes when it rains, it pours. That's kinda what it feels today as the stories around Nintendo Switch 2 keep evolving as more and more people get involved in telling these stories. Now, what are we talking about? Well, earlier today we had a couple of Nintendo Switch 2 stories. One of them was about hundreds of developers currently admitting they are making games for Nintendo Switch 2. That was really cool. The other story had to do with the fact that there's actually pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 from a certain outlet in Japan. In fact, this outlet right here named Mecha Japan. And nothing wrong with this per se. There's not a high likelihood that this individual retail outlet actually heard anything and could have made guesswork. But what if I were to tell you, they apparently are not the only retail outlet handling pre-order business. And in fact, a bunch of retailers worldwide might be about to do similar things because they've actually heard legit information. Beyond that as well, we have also some stuff floating out there about when Nintendo Switch 2 could possibly be revealed along with a few games that we should maybe expect to come alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 this year. Coming from some journalists and a known insider. So we have to talk about that as well. First let's get into the retail stuff and how we know or at least there's a rumor that a bunch of retailers are now hearing about the Nintendo Switch 2 so they can prepare. Now this stuff comes from one of my friends and look, he is amazing at research, Andres Restart. And he does speak and understand Spanish. And he was watching a YouTube channel called NintendLeaks as you can see here in his video today. And what NintendLeaks did is claim they have their own sources that a bunch of retailers in Spain and other countries are hearing about the Nintendo Switch 2 officially from Nintendo, that way they can prepare to get pre-orders ready to go both in store and online. Now of course this is a rumor, right? We can't verify Andres Restart can't verify. I can't verify who these sources are and figure this out. So it's a rumor and I don't really have NintendLeaks on my rumor believability scale because I've never really covered anything officially from them before. So for now they're just kind of out there as a mystery but it is quite fascinating that if they are correct it means all that happened is this retailer in Japan just jumped the gun on information that many retailers are currently getting about Nintendo Switch 2. So we could in fact within a week or two at least by the end of January see a bunch of these pre-order pages start to pop up as retailers prepare for the inevitable Switch 2 announcement. So I do find it at least worth noting that the news today isn't just about that Japanese retailer that does have it on pre-order. It's also about something much bigger. Now we're not done there because look at that is really cool and it's an unverified rumor and it's pretty neat but we have to talk about some predictions and other information coming in from people who are pretty high on my rumor believability scale. So we're gonna be talking about two people in particular. We have Christopher Dring who I forgot to put on my rumor believability scale but he is a video game journalist with inside knowledge and he's often given us all the sales data out of the UK and then we have Necro Philippe Lima from Universal Nintendo. And as you can see on my rumor believability scale he is one of the most trustworthy people out there. He's in the reliable category. So we're gonna get into some predictions they put out there and what Necro Philippe Lima had to say about said predictions because to me it's honestly quite fascinating. So first let's get to Christopher Dring's original tweet out here where he said my switch to predictions will be wrong but let's see how wrong. Nintendo to tease switch to before the end of March possibly at the next direct but I think standalone and he doesn't think there'll be a separate full reveal event in the summer that will launch in September with a new Mario and that Mario Kart 9 will come in October with cross platform Pokemon in November. Now these are fairly safe predictions and if these were on their own we probably wouldn't include them in this video. Look everyone's making predictions at this point from analysts to journalists or YouTubers. Like we're all just trying to put in our best guesses on when this stuff could come but then Necro Philippe Lima had to chime in and if you look at what he had to say just to prove he's replying to the same tweet he says I don't think it will be too off besides the next Mario Kart number being 10 and not nine. So he's one saying hey Mario Kart 9 probably not what they're gonna call it and that could be true because Nintendo could consider Mario Kart 2 or to be Mario Kart 9 even though they didn't have a number so maybe they would call it Mario Kart 10 or Mario Kart X or whatever they wanna do or they might not use numbers at all. We don't really know but he says that Mario Kart and this is just a guess from him will come only in 2025 and a new 3D should arrive first. So quite interesting to dig into this and obviously gotta consider the full context of what they're talking about. He says I don't think this will be too off and he's talking about the entire context of this such as the Nintendo Switch 2 being teased and or shown by the end of March obviously 3D Mario tossed in there as well with a cross platform Pokemon. I honestly think that this is quite fascinating that consistently Nintendo insiders keep pointing to March for a reveal. It just keeps happening. Nate, the hate has done it and he's got I believe a new podcast episode coming soon where he's gonna get his full predictions in for Nintendo in 2024 but previously on previous podcast episodes he has noted that he thinks it's gonna be revealed in March. So if he's still thinking March especially when his podcast episode comes up Necrophilipe's say in March we have insiders, you know Dr. Circuitoto sort of hinting towards March we have other people Necrophilipe Aleema, Christopher Dring you know all predicting March. March, March, March keeps being the date thrown out and a lot of this ties back to the Gamescom stuff from last year. For those who don't remember there was some rumor demos at Gamescom showing off behind the scenes to select developers and they kept hearing March. March now we weren't giving context for what March meant it literally and it still could just be an internal date like you need to have your games ready by March if you want them to be included in a future launch trailer or at launch of the new platform that can literally be all that is an internal date it also could have been an external date that they were hearing about March as in March is when Nintendo's revealing this system and you can finally talk about what you're working on it. That's the weird thing is none of the developers behind the scenes that talk to these insiders gave them what March meant and maybe it's because Nintendo never gave them what March meant or maybe it's just they're under NDA, right? It's one thing to say March it's another thing to break NDA and tell people exactly what that March date meant. But either way, March has been really floated out there since September of last year and now it seems everybody that has connections in the industry from video game journalists to insiders keep pointing to March as being the time to expect Nintendo Switch 2 to be revealed also when most people are still expecting that it is still be a Nintendo Direct next month whether it's a full Direct or a mini. So that's fascinating as well and as Christopher Drink says, hey, it could be revealed in the Direct that doesn't seem likely but hey, this is Nintendo. This is new management. Who knows how they wanna handle the reveal of this new platform. So it's gonna be quite fascinating and I just wanted to put this all together because there's so much floating out there right now with Nintendo Switch 2 and the stories keep evolving. I know in my last video earlier today I said, man, it could be a month before we talk about Switch 2 again and here we are in the same day with a new video.  This I think just feels normal, right? It feels normal heading into the reveal of a new system, the launch of a new system. I remember all of the PlayStation 5 days before they revealed PlayStation 5. So this was early 2020 and man, there was so much rumors, so much buzz, so much stuff just floating around out there about the PlayStation 5 and Sony had yet to even officially unveil it. Now, technically, they did announce it as existing and if you wanna argue, Nintendo announced it as existing that because they mentioned their next generation system back in 2021. That's right, Nintendo told us Nintendo accounts are gonna be forward compatible with their next system. So they technically announced the next system was coming years ago, but here we are in 2024.  It's gonna be a bit of a wild ride, a bit of a bumpy one. Some of these rumors will turn out to be true. Some of these predictions will turn out to be true. Some of this stuff is gonna turn out to be false. All we can do is strap up because it sure seems likely that the Switch 2 is coming this year. Just remember, these are rumors until proven otherwise. Thank you so much for tuning in and I am going to catch you all in the next video.


Appalachian Wireless is Appalachian Advantage. Unlimited text, talk, and two gigs of data for as low as $45 a month. Or if you like, get five lines on eight gigs of data for just $145 a month. See store for details. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless and East Kentucky Network Company. Winter weather is slowly but surely creeping its way into our region. With that being said, Kentucky Mesonet is making sure its Eastern Kentucky equipment is up to date and ready for the winter season. Kentucky Mesonet is a network of weather stations across Kentucky. All of the data is fed through the National Weather Service. So if you ever get a watch or a warning or an advisory or anything like that, they're looking at our data to give you that type of alert. The stations were installed by Western Kentucky University through grants. The Pike County Weather Station is set up in Dorton on the highest peak in the county. Kentucky Mesonet was onsite this week to update equipment and to install a weather camera. The group made about $6,000 worth of upgrades. We maintain three times a year. We make sure that everything is working. Everything is calibrated. Everything is good on the station before winter. In September, the Pike County Fiscal Court sponsored the weather station. The county will contribute $3,000 a year to Kentucky Mesonet for maintenance of the weather station. When we have weather fronts coming across Kentucky with these weather stations, we can watch that front come across and see what it's doing in other parts of the state so we can know what to expect when it gets here.

Live from San Diego, California, it's theCUBE. Covering KubeCon and CloudNativeCon, brought to you by Red Hat, the CloudNative Computing Foundation and its ecosystem partners. Welcome back to theCUBE. We are here in San Diego where we are keeping CloudNative classy. I'm Stu Miniman, my co-host is John Troyer and we are happy to welcome back to the program our host Dan Kahn who is the executive director of the CloudNative Computing Foundation or the CNCF. Dan, thank you so much for having us. Threw it to me back again. All right, and yeah, so our fourth year doing this show, the big shows, right along the same level. Yeah, one year to the next you can just confuse them pretty easily. So Dan, we actually did a prediction show yesterday and I said, maybe it's my math background but I look back, two years ago it was 4,000 8,000, now 12,000. So I predict Boston must be 16,000 because I was used to those standardized tests but with the growth, you never know and it is very difficult. We talk about planning, we've talked, this facility was booked before two years ago that the curve really started taking off. Help us set the stage a little bit. We're getting towards the end of the event but tons of day zero things. So many sessions, so many people. There were pre-show events I heard that started like the end of last week so it's a small city in this community and so many pieces and the CNCF helps enable all of it. It does and what's fun for us is just that the community is out there adopting these technologies and contributing to it and growing, being able to come together. This is always our biggest event in North America but also in Europe and China. It's just a really nice snapshot, point of time when saying, okay, where are things? How many companies are interested in having a sponsor booth? How many developers are there? How many track? But I think maybe my favorite anecdote from KubeCon in San Diego is that there was a, so we offer a CFP track, a call for proposals that's extremely competitive, only 12% of the talks get accepted and then we have a maintainer track where the different projects can have both either an intro or a deep dive or both. So the deep dive for the project Helm, which is not even a graduated project yet, I mean it's very widely used, package manager for Kubernetes, but the deep dive for Helm had more than 1,600 people inside their session, which is more than we had at all of attending KubeCon 2015 and 2016 combined. So Dan, one of the words that gets mentioned a lot in this space and it has lots of different meaning is scale. We talk about Kubernetes built for big scale, we're talking about edge computing, which goes to small scale. This event, you look at the ecosystem, there's a 30 foot banner with all of the logos there, you look at the landscape, there are so many logos on there. Actually, I thought you had an enjoyable, yet useful analogy in your opening keynote. You talk about Minecraft, I've got a boy, he plays Xbox, I've seen Minecraft, so when he pulls up a little chart and there's like all of these little things on the side, my son can tell you how they're all used and what you can build with them. I would be completely daunted looking at that, much like many of the people come to this show and they look around and they're like, I don't even know where to start. And that was a fun keynote for me to put together because I did need to make sure, both on the Minecraft part that all the formulas were correct, I didn't want anyone, but then I drew the analogy to Kubernetes and how it is based on a set of building blocks, hundreds of them that have evolved over time. And for that, I actually did some software archeology of reaching out to the people who created the original IPFW Linux firewall 20 years ago based on VSD and then the evolution since then made sure that they were comfortable with my description of it. But now, bringing it out to KubeCon CNCF, we have a lot of projects now, so we're up to 43 when we met in Seattle four years ago, it was two. And so it's definitely incumbent on CNCF to do a good job and we can probably do an even better one on trying to draw this trail map, this recommended path through understanding the technologies, deciding on which ones people might want to adopt. Yeah, I think that would be really interesting. In fact, the words trail map kind of came up on Twitter today I saw. And one of the things that struck me was how the first rule of KubeCon as well, Kubernetes is not maybe in the center of everything, it's underneath everything, but because of 42 projects in the CNCF, many more projects, open source projects, of course, from different vendors, from different coalitions that you can see here on the show floor as well, if not sessions. So without giving maybe a CNCF 101, I mean, what does the path forward look like in terms of that, you know, the growth of projects within the CNCF umbrella, the prominence of KubeCon?  We've always been calling it KubeCon CloudNativeCon and we could reverse the names, but I don't see any particular drive to do that. But I would really emphasize and give credit to Craig McLachy and some of the other people who originally set up CNCF, where Google had this technology, if they'd come to the Linux Foundation and said, we want to call it the Kubernetes Foundation, we probably would have said yes to that. But the impact then would be that all of these other technologies and approaches would have come in and said, we need to become part of the Kubernetes project. And instead, there was a vision of an ecosystem. And the reality is that Kubernetes is still by far the largest project. I mean, if you look at the total number of contributors, I believe it's approximately the same between Kubernetes and our other 42 projects combined. So, and of course, there's overlap. But in that sense, in some ways, Kubernetes sort of represents the sun and the other projects are orbiting around it. But really from the beginning, the whole idea was to say that we wanted to allow a diversity of different approaches. And CNCF has had this very clear philosophy that we're not king makers, that if you look at our landscape document where we look at different functions like key management or container runtimes or databases or others, there can be multiple CNCF hosted projects in each box. And so far, at least that approach seems to be working quite well. Yeah, Dan, having been to a number of these, the maturity and progress is obvious. Something we've said is Kubernetes is really table stakes at this point. No matter where I go, there is going to be Kubernetes. And therefore, I've seen it some over the last year or so, but very prominent at this show. We're talking about workloads, we're talking about applications. It's defining and explaining that cloud native piece of it. And the tough thing is modern applications and building applications and that app dev community. So, speak a little bit, you've got a very diverse audience here. Talk about the personas you have to communicate with and who you're attracting to this. I know that they put out lots of metrics as to the surveys and who's coming and who's participating. Well, we do and we'll be publishing those. And I love the fact, I think some people misunderstand the thinking that KubeCon Cloud NativeCon is all infrastructure engineers and something like a third or more of the attendees are application developers. And so I do think there's this natural move, particularly towards app dev. The difference is that on the infrastructure side, there's just a really strong consensus about Kubernetes, as you're saying, where on the application development side, it's still very early days. And I mean, if anything, I think really the only area that there is consensus on is that the abstractions that Kubernetes provides are not the ones that we want to have regular application developers at most enterprises working with. That they shouldn't actually need to build their own container and then write the YAML in order to configure it. Brian Lyles hit that point nicely with his keynote today around Rails. But so we can agree that what we have isn't the right outcome. We can agree that whatever are the winning solutions are very likely underneath going to be building those containers and writing the YAML. But there are so many different approaches right now at a high layer on what that right interface is. Yeah, I mean just one example I have had the opportunity to interview Bloomberg for the second time. And a year ago, we talked very much about the infrastructure. And this year, we talked about, really they've built internally that pass layer so that their app devs, they might know that there's Kubernetes but they don't have to interface with that at all. I've had a number of the CNCF end user members participate, maybe speak to the community of end users participating and just end user usage overall. So when we first met in Seattle four years ago, we had three members of our end user community. We appreciated them joining early but that was a tough haul. But to be up to 124 now, representing almost every industry and all around the world, just a huge number of brand names has been fantastic. What is interesting is if you go talk to them, almost all of them are using Kubernetes as the underlying layer for their own internal paths. And so the regular developers in their organizations can often just want to type get push and then have the continuous integration run and the things build and it deployed out and everything. But it's somewhat surprising there hasn't yet been a level of consensus on what that sort of common paths, the common set of abstractions on top should be. There's a ton of our members and developers and others are all working to sort of build that winning solution but I don't have a prediction for you yet. And of course skill interoperability and skill transferability is going to be key in growing this ecosystem. But I thought the stats on the searches you can do on the number of job openings for Kubernetes is incredible. Yeah, on the interoperability, we were very pleased to announce Tuesday that we've now passed 100 certified vendors and of all the things that CNCF does, probably even including KubeCon, I might say that that certified Kubernetes program is the one that's had the biggest impact to have over implementations from over 100 different organizations that you can take the same workloads and move them across and have the confidence those APIs will be supported. It's just a huge accomplishment and in some ways up there with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth are some of the best interoperability standards. And then you mentioned the jobs core which is another area. Yeah, I want to transfer engineers too as well as workloads. Area that we're thrilled and we just launched that but we now have a couple hundred jobs listed on it and a bunch of people applying and it's just a perfect example of the kind of ecosystem development that we're thrilled to do and particularly the fact that we're not charging either the employers or the applicants. So it's jobs.cncf.io to get access to that. Great, Dan, you also mentioned your keynote. Kubernetes has crossed the chasm. That changes the challenges that you have when you start talking about the earlier mid-majority environment. So I know you've been flying around the globe. There's not only the three big events but many small events. Talk about how CNCF mission helps educate and push, I guess not push, but educate and further the mission. Enable. So one of the other programs we have is the Kubernetes certified service provider. These are organizations, essentially consulting firms that have a deep expertise that have had at least three of their engineers pass our certified Kubernetes administrator exam. And it is amazing now that we've passed 100 of those but they're in over 30 different countries. And so we're just thrilled to see businesses all around the world be able to take advantage of that. And I do get to go to a lot of events around the world. We're actually, CNCF is hosting our first ever events in Seoul and then Sydney in two weeks that I'm quite excited for. And then in February, we're gonna be back in India and we're gonna be in Bengaluru where we had a very successful event in March. We'll be there in February, 2020 and then our first one in New Delhi. Those are both on the third week of February. And I think it does just speak to the number of people who are really eager for these to soak this up. But one of the cool things about it is that we're combining both local experts. Half of our speakers are local, half international. And then we do a beginner track and an advanced track. Yeah, Dan, you know, we just love a little bit of kind of insight from you as to there's a little bit of uncontrolled chaos when you talk about open source. Many of the things that we're talking about this year, a year ago, we would have been, oh my gosh, I would have never thought of that. So give us what it's like to be at kind of the eye of the hurricane, if you would. A lot of criticism, to be honest. It is an amazing number of people, like to point out the things that we're not quite doing correctly. But the huge challenge for an organization like CNCF where we're a nonprofit, these events are actually spinning off money that we're then able to reinvest directly into the project. So doing things like a quarter million dollars for a security audit for Kubernetes that we were able to publish or Jepson testing for HCD or improving documentation and such. So a big part of it is trying to create that those positive feedback groups and have that. And then another huge part is just that given all the different competing interests and the fact that we literally have every big technology company in the world on our board and then all of the, I mean, hundreds of startups that are tend to be very competitive, it's just really important that we treat organizations similarly. So that all of our Platinum members are treated the same, or gold or silver. And then within the projects that all the graduated projects are treated similarly, incubating sandbox. And people really notice, I have kids and it's a little bit there where they're sort of always believing that the other kid is getting extra attention. Yeah, right, you can't be the king maker if it will, you're letting it out. So look out a little bit, Dan, and we still have more growth to go in the community. Obviously the event has room for growth. What do you see looking forward to 2020 and beyond? Yeah, I would love to predict some sort of amazing discontinuity where everyone adopts these technologies and then CNCF's not necessary anymore or something like that. But the reality is, I mean, I love that crossing the chasm metaphor and I do think it's very powerful. And we really do say 2018 was the year that Kubernetes crossed the chasm from the early adopters to the early majority. But I would emphasize the fact that it's only the early majority. We haven't reached into the entire second half of the curve, the late majority and the laggards. And so there are a ton of organizations here at the event who are just getting up to speed on this and realizing, oh, we really need to invest and start understanding it. And so, I mean, I don't, we also talk about there will be some point of peak KubeCon, just like peak oil. And I don't yet see any signs of it being 2019 or 2020, but it's something that we're very cognizant of and working hard to try and ensure that the event remains useful for people and that they're seeing value from it. I mean, there was a real question when we went from 1,000 Seattle four years ago to 4,000 in Austin three years ago. Oh, is this event even still useful? Can developers still interact? Do you still have conversations? Is the hallway track still valuable? And thankfully, I'm able to chat with a lot of the core developers where this is their fifth North American KubeCon and they're saying, no, I'm still getting value out of it. Now that what we tend to hear from them is, but I didn't get to go any sessions where I have so many hallway tracks and private meetings and interactions and such. But the great thing there is that, you know, we actually get all of these sessions up on YouTube within 48 or 72 hours. And so people ask me, oh, there's 18 different tracks. How do I decide which one to go to? And I always say, go to the one where you want to interact with the speaker afterwards or ask a question or really, because the other ones you can watch later, but there isn't really a substitute for being here on the graph. Well, so much content there, Dan. I think if they start watching now, baby, at that time you get to hamster Dan, they'll dent it a little bit. I give a quick pitch for my favorite Chrome extension is called a video speed player. And you can speed people up to 120, 125%, say get a little bit of that time. Yeah, absolutely. We have at the back end of ours, there is YouTube, so you can adjust the speed. It does help most of the time and you can back up a few seconds needed. Dan, look, congratulations. We know you have a tough role, you and the CNCF. We really appreciate the partnership. We love our community, you know, has had a phenomenal time this week of the show and look forward to 2020 and be a lot. Oh, I do as well. I really want to thank you for being with us through this whole way and I think it is just an important part of the ecosystem. And I know John Furrier also says thank you. Oh, absolutely. And it's good to see you next year. All right, Dan, thank you so much for John Troyer. I'm Stu Miniman, getting towards the end of our three days wall to wall coverage here in sunny San Diego, California. Thanks for watching theCUBE.

Good. So contrary to what you might expect from the title, this will not be a funny talk. You might say, Chris, why would I expect that? The title is also not funny. So I would not argue with you. So we're all here on the seaside, but this talk is on a different seaside. And since it's not funny, we'll start with the conclusions. So the main punchline is that Seaside 512 gives you relatively little quantum security beyond what is coming from the cost of quantumally evaluating it on a uniform superposition. So in particular, for example, key recovery costs about 2 to the 16 such evaluations if you have about a terabit of quantumly accessible classical memory. So that's ordinary memory that's in your laptop, but you can query in the superposition. And I'll say a little bit more about that later. And so when you run the numbers on this, assuming that the evaluation costs not much more than for the best case, the best case distribution, which is a plausible assumption, we think, breaking Seaside 512 costs a fair bit less than 2 to the 64 T gates, and therefore falls well short of the claimed NIST Category 1 quantum security level. Okay. So let's unpack this a little bit. If I get the clicker going. Good. Okay. So Seaside was proposed at Asia Crypt last year. It's an isogenic-based so-called post-quantum commutative group action that follows in the framework of Covene's from 97. The central object is this group action involving an abelian group G and a set Z, and the action takes an element from each of those and returns an element of Z. Note that this has nothing to do with other isogenic-based cryptography like SIDH, which use non-abelian groups and don't involve group action. So all we have to, the only thing we have to say today is about Seaside. This killer app for this group action is a Diffie-Hulman style key exchange. So you have a public parameter Z, and then each party chooses a secret group element, applies the group action with that element and Z, and that becomes their public key, and then they can each compute a common shared key in a very much Diffie-Hulman style. What makes Seaside particularly attractive is its efficiency profile. So you have small keys, pretty fast key exchange for parameters that were claimed to have the NIST category one security, which is that it should be as hard as AES key search to break. Oh, and these must be old slides. That's 2 to the 170 divided by max depth logical quantum gates. There's also signature proposals which have attractive communication. So the main way that people have considered attacking Seaside quantumly is to do Seaside key recovery that is given the public key, find the secret key or equivalent, and it was shown in 2010 that this actually reduces to a hidden shift problem on the group, and in fact that problem had been considered all the way back in 2003 by Cooperburg. There's three main ingredients to the algorithms. First, there's an oracle that outputs these random labeled quantum states by evaluating the action on those uniform superposition. Then there's some kind of sieve algorithm which combines these labeled states in a way to generate more favorable states. And then once the states become very favorable, you apply some kind of measurement to recover information about the hidden shift. And there's three classes of sieve algorithms. The first is Cooperburg's original, which gives you 2 to the order N oracle calls and qubits. Regev improved the amount of space down to polynomial, but increased the number of oracle calls that were required. And then interestingly, Cooperburg gave a follow up algorithm, which gets you back to 2 to the order Ruden oracle calls and classical bits of RAM, which is quantumly accessible. It means you can query it in superposition, even the RAM is holding classical bits. Cooperburg called this the collimation sieve or CCIV for short, and it subsumes the prior two algorithms and offers more algorithmic tradeoffs, which we will exploit. So that's all asymptotic stuff, but what about concrete security? So the prior estimates for seaside 512 come from costing the oracle, which was done in Eurocrypt this year. And they gave a cost for evaluating on a somewhat non-uniform superposition, but there's been recent work to expect a similar cost for uniform superposition. We're not concerned with the cost of the oracle too much. We won't address that in this work, but we're looking at the sieve cost. So the original seaside paper used Regev's low space algorithm to estimate about 2 to the 62 oracle calls. And that's where that's what allowed them to set the parameters as they did, thinking for aiming for nest level one. This work from the last year went back to Cooperburg's original algorithm and dramatically reduced the number of oracle calls to about to the 32, but then quite a few qubits are required for that. So what about the third algorithm, Cooperburg's one that improves the previous two? Well, it turns out there was no prior work looking at that. So that's where we come in, and we look at this. So we're going to improve practically Cooperburg's quantum algorithm, seaside algorithm, and analyze it in the context of seaside parameters. This is a summary of the various improvements. I just want to emphasize the final item, which is that we give code and actually run simulations of this quantum algorithm. It's actually pseudo-classical. You can simulate almost all of it and then just fake one little part of it and actually run the thing on a regular computer. And we run it on group orders all the way up to the real seaside group order. And here are the final results. The number of oracle calls can be brought down to something like two to the 14 with completely reasonable amounts of classical memory. Moreover, the memory can be accessed quantumly with existing methods using quantum computation that's much lower than the rest of the attack. So this is kind of the takeaway point. I will jump back to the final conclusions. The paper is available on ePrint, and you can download the code and run it very easily at this location.


Nigeria needs $1.5 trillion over a 10-year period to build national infrastructure, and that's according to President Mohammad Bawari, who gave the figure at the COP26 high-level side event. The global infrastructure meeting was hosted by the United States President Joe Biden, the EU Commissioner of President von der Leyen, and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. President Bawari declared that the Nigerian government has established a clear legal and regulatory framework for private financing of infrastructure.


Hey everybody, we're back and we're going to try to do a real quick video for you today on the Sony PVM 53MD series. This is one of my personal favorite. This is the first monitor line the 50 series that actually incorporated any type of service menu by pressing the menu button and give you the features built in with that service menu like adjustability on just about everything you could want on a CRT monitor and It changed the form factor a little bit gave you some more fresh knobs on the front and the freshened up on the case design And that was also something that they kept into the later Series designs some of the cool little features on this one. We've got the HR Trinitron logo Now that was something that was eventually removed from most of the medical monitor bezels Once we got into the M series, which is the series that follows up after this 50 series for medical monitors They would have just said Trinitron right there and in that HR would have been reserved for the M4 series Which would have which had a higher resolution tube and this tube is 600 TV lines And again, we've got the full service menu on here some other cool little features that were specific to only this particular Run of PVMs were these knobs or handles right here that were used generally to have Either a protection splash guard in front of your buttons or were used for rack mount pullouts more likely with the medical monitors they were used with splash guard covers that were clear and plastic to protect the buttons and these are actually aluminum or a metal and Later in the M series they abandon this Metal and exchange it for a cheaper plastic that tends to break very often in Shipping or moving because it is so weak It's a lot tougher and a lot more durable And I really like the accent look on it where it shines a little more than just the dull plastic that you'll notice On any of the M series monitors now on the 50 series Sony introduced their best input board to this point It featured one line a input that had daisy chain out ability for composite And then you have one S video input on line B But the best part about this monitor is that it has two different inputs that are supporting RGB Sync and component meaning you can switch either of these to support whichever you want for your setup So you can have two RGB inputs or you can have two component inputs Or you can mix and match and use either now the first input does have a daisy chain out For your signal if you want to go into a different device, but the bottom is an input only input So there is no output from there You've also got some remote access if you have and a setup with an older style remote And then you've got DC out of five volts and one amp current other things to note These were made in pretty much the mid 90s That's between 1995 to about 1997 or eight and that means that most of the time they are due for some type of servicing they probably need to at least be cleaned and They are really good though for anything that has analog video. So you're gonna be able to use this for anything that is 240p in resolution or 480i in video resolution It will Not support any resolutions beyond those two resolutions anything over that will not work or sync to this monitor But Overall, it's one of my favorites and it's definitely something that I think if you are looking for a PVM and You want something that's high quality and you're considering a starter monitor This is a really great high quality first-time user monitor It's pretty user-friendly and easy to work through compared to other monitors Plus you have a lot of control and advanced features available that were not available in prior Series monitors those would have been way more difficult to adjust if you need some guide on how to adjust your 53 or 50 series PVM please see the videos linked in the description below, but otherwise I highly recommend this particular unit and Try to tell people that it's definitely worth getting one if one is available and it's one of my favorites and So that'll be it for the quick short video on the Sony PVM 53 MDU series. I'll see you guys next time with some more retro content
