Users continue to experiment with the ChatGPT chat bot, which can solve a variety of tasks, and if the task cannot be performed directly, the neural network will tell you what the person needs to do.

In particular, one of the users asked ChatGPT to solve a “captcha” (CAPTCHA – Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart), that is, a test that allows you to distinguish a person from a computer. The Google search engine and other resources regularly ask to choose the right pictures on demand.

The ChatGPT chatbot responded: “As an artificial intelligence, I cannot interact with images or perform actions like clicks. However, I can tell you where the correct images are.”

After that, ChatGPT indicated exactly which photos show pedestrian crossings.

New York-based quantum computing startup SEEQC has announced it has created a digital chip that can operate at temperatures lower than outer space, so it can be used with quantum processors, which are often found in cryogenic chambers.

Quantum computers based on quantum physics could one day perform calculations millions of times faster than today’s most powerful supercomputer. One problem is that quantum processors with quantum bits or qubits often need to be stored at very low temperatures, close to zero Kelvin, or -273.15 Celsius. On the other hand, classical computers operate at ordinary temperatures.

Today, wires connect a quantum processor in a freezer to classic computers at room temperature, but temperature changes can slow down the speed and cause other problems. In the same way, SEEQC built its quantum computer and is now trying to modify it with its new chips.

“If you’re trying to build a data center, if that’s your goal, then it’s not enough to take those early prototype designs and try to brute force them to scale,” said John Levy, co-founder and CEO of SEEQC.

The first chip, unveiled this week, sits directly below the quantum processor and controls the qubits and reads the results. At least two other chips, which are still under development, will be in the slightly warmer part of the cryogenic chamber. They can further process the information needed for quantum computing.

This technology could make it easier to build more powerful quantum computers, Levy said, as each cryogenic chamber could support more qubits. Modern superconducting quantum computers have hundreds of qubits, but by some estimates it could take thousands or even a million qubits to build a quantum computer to run useful algorithms.

SEEQC’s digital chips are manufactured at SEEQC’s Elmsford plant using silicon wafers, but no transistors, according to Levy.

The CIRP researchers decided to evaluate the impact of users’ age on their desire to buy Apple products. It turned out that age plays a very significant role.

Analysts evaluated the age division for iPhone, iPad and Mac. We will only analyze the iPhone in detail, although, as you can see from the diagram, the overall situation is very similar.

So, it is perfectly clear that the iPhone first of all attracts quite young users. Half of all Apple smartphone owners are between the ages of 18 and 34. Also a large layer – users aged 35 to 44 years. Actually, these are three approximately the same groups, which together account for almost three-quarters of all iPhone owners.

But older users are rapidly losing interest in the iPhone. Actually, to Mac and iPad too.

Interestingly, in the case of a Mac, age is even more critical than in the case of the iPhone, although a computer, unlike a smartphone, is a product primarily for work. In addition, there are almost no games on the Mac, which could affect age preferences.
