It was never about "trans athletes should just compete in their assigned sex at birth." It was always about invalidation of the athlete's gender identity.

It was never about "trans athletes should just compete in their assigned sex at birth." It was always about invalidation of the athlete's gender identity.
New arXiv manuscript! In this work we explore how two techniques originally developed for implementing logical gates on static quantum error-correcting codes can be extended to Floquet codes.

Thank you to my colleagues at Nu Quantum for their valuable discussions throughout this work, and an especially big thank you to Bhargavi Jonnadula as my co-author.
I happen to own a little open source software company that is expressly anti-fascist, has a “No AI” policy, and has recently been called “aggressively queer” in case you’re interested in supporting tech companies like that:
@coral this is the board gaming equivalent of the time I was told "I just don't understand they/them pronouns" while at a quantum physics conference.
Playing Blood on the Clocktower while trans is an interesting experience.
You expect me to believe that you've figured out the Imp star-passed to the Baron, who then got Pit Hagged into a No Dashii, who then poisoned the Ravenkeeper so that when they died they were told the No Dashii was actually the Saint, and meanwhile the Fortune Teller is actually the Drunk...
Yet you haven't figured out that the player who said "my pronouns are they/them" wants to be referred to with they/them pronouns.
@mattgrayyes you may now kiss the fae
@Reborn_Cat_Mom I've been replaying Starfox Adventures for nostalgia sake lately
Hey gang, I really need a job. UK, remote, something to do with computers.
I've been doing all sorts of software plumbing for a decade now, I can speak C, Java, PHP, Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, even a bit of Assembly for certain architectures in a pinch.
I might not be extremely specialized in any one area but you bet I can solve that one nagging problem you're not sure what specialist you need for. I've done frontend, backend, embedded, everything.
Please boost!
This week I'm in Merton College, Oxford for Seeking Quantum Advantage.
@GreatBritishRailways does the price also go up every time someone asks?
Quick morning sketchies. Figured we could all use some of this right now.
