You need to know which basis the sender use to collapse and measure in the same basis. Then you need to sample a statistical distribution and the desired information will be the average of the distribution. This is very well proven in the Bells inequality experiment and can definitely be used to gain information.

It is clearly not very efficient in the sense a lot of transported bits are wasted to convey less information. But the advantages of instantaneous and secure communication will be worth it in some use cases.

That is, of course, if the engineering issues such as quantum repeaters (a sort of range extender) and high fidelity storage are properly solved. It is a few years ago since I did any quantum information in uni, so I don't know what the current state of things are.

For using the quantum teleportation algorithm you first have two establish entangled qubit pair, with one photon at the sender and one at the destination. This process does take the distance over speed of light amount of time. The trick is that you would pre-process this, and decide later when to and what information to encode into the qubit, allowing for "instant" information transfer. Naturally, this requires that you have a very good memory device that keeps the fidelity of the entangled qubits.

Not a search engine, but last week I learned of the European Open Websearch project, which builds a new free and open search index. It should already be ready to try out. Hopefully we will see some search engines implementing this soon.

From the Danish media: https://nyheder.tv2.dk/business/2025-03-14-usa-beder-danmark-om-hjaelp

There are a few additional points

  • Multiple European countries have gotten similar requests, not just Denmark

  • American egg policy requires washing the eggs while European policy prohibits this, making it highly inconvenient.

  • They would want assurance that America won't suddenly put tariffs on the eggs.

  • If america were to pay upwards of 1€ per egg, maybe they'd have a deal.

Thought I would mention Guix. I don't know about using it as an OS but just the package manager is so nice to build reproducible software environments (although disclaimer I discovered this myself a few weeks ago). At least as close you can get without including proprietary hardware drivers. Building MPI applications on my laptop and moving them to an HPC cluster with full performance feels like magic.

Cool, can I come over and have a look at your ~~super strong monster magnet~~ Neutron star?

I quite like .ion or .iot

What about HPE slingshot? This list is clearly incomplete.

The sun's spectrum at the earth surface peaks in the green color range, which should make green the most efficient choice. Although, I wonder why they have to absorb only a single or a narrow band of color.

Without knowing much about psychology, I would imagine separating the mindset into a set of orthogonal axis is pretty difficult and certainly the normal range would probably not follow a normal distribution in each axis. As a result the N-dimensional volume would not be a N-sphere but some complex topological shape. Possibly even consisting of multiple disjointed sets. If any of these assumptions are true then the global point average over the entire space may lie outside many of the "normal" ranges.

Det er en god pointe. Men jeg tænker også det er muligt at kombinere mit forslag med et typisk grundforløb. F.eks. Kunne man lave en ny merit evaluering på gymnasiet, (en prøve eller karaktergennemsnit etc.) som ville i kombination med folkeskolens data ville give dig adgang til bestemte A-fag eller linjer.

Det er måske ikke en køn løsning, men jeg føler at hvis vi skal lave fast merit baseret frasortering, kan vi lige så godt gøre det ordentligt i stedet for at bruge et halv-arbitrært tal bare fordi det er nemt.

Det er selvfølgelig også et spørgsmål om man vægter 'generalister' højere end 'specialister' når det kommer til det gymnasielle niveau.
