This simple magnetic trick could change quantum computing forever

Researchers have unveiled a new quantum material that could make quantum computers much more stable by using magnetism to protect delicate qubits from environmental disturbances. Unlike traditional approaches that rely on rare spin-orbit interactions, this method uses magnetic interactions—common in many materials—to create robust topological excitations. Combined with a new computational tool for finding such …

Vibe Coding is Shoot-and-Forget Coding

TL;DR Vibe coding is great for quick hacks; lasting software still needs real engineers. Vibe coding, the trend of using AI to generate code by describing what you want in natural language, has been hailed as the future of programming. Coined by AI pioneer Andrej Karpathy in early 2025, the term refers to “fully giv[ing] …
