This figure, which has increased a lavish 35% since the humble beginnings of January 1st, 2025, boldly proclaims that our digital gold rush has morphed into a never-ending contest of who has the bigger mining machines. An uncanny showcase of how competition in the realm of pixels surpasses even the fiercest disciplines of the physical world.
The People’s Bank of China, that grande dame of finance, has announced this metamorphosis with all the flair of a Noël Coward première. According to Lu Lei, the deputy governor (such a title, darling!), the digital yuan is evolving from electronic cash to a “digital deposit currency.” 🦋✨ A decade of pilot programs and field testing has led to this moment-though one must wonder if the audience (read: citizens) is quite as enthusiastic as the critics (read: industry observers) claim.
A new architecture combining atomic qubits and photonic links promises to overcome distance limitations in long-range quantum communication.
Certain games really change depending on who you play with. These are the ones you’ll want to revisit with different friends, because every group creates a unique experience. Sometimes you’ll win because everyone is a skilled and competitive player. Other times, you’ll just have a fun, relaxed time and focus on enjoying the game together, regardless of the outcome. Either way, these co-op games offer great replayability, adapting to the personalities of your team.
Robert Kiyosaki, that paragon of financial wisdom and literary creation, Rich Dad Poor Dad, has once more returned to the limelight. His message, a familiar refrain but now tossed with a pinch of caution, likens to an old prophecy. Kiyosaki, faithful to silver since his youthful forays in the 1960s, holds steadfast in his belief that silver stands as the bastion against the erosion of our dear fiat currencies and the ever-marching tides of inflation.
In the past month, silver’s price took a flying leap-up about 48%, no less! From the humble $50s in late November to nearly $83-eerily reminiscent of a rocket on a bender. It’s been a year of wild swings, with silver charming investors by over 150%, thanks to tight supply, industrial demand, and folks fleeing inflation like rats from a sinking ship. 🚀💸
![The research constructs and categorizes quantum codes-derived from three classical codes-into four distinct types, demonstrating that these codes are structured around [latex]ZZ[/latex]- and [latex]XX[/latex]-check blocks, with the number of variations within each type-indicated by a multiplicative factor-highlighting the diversity achievable through this construction method.](https://arxiv.org/html/2512.22116v1/x1.png)
Researchers have developed a generalized approach to creating quantum error-correcting codes by leveraging the power of multiple classical codes.
To be honest, I’m starting to feel a little tired of open-world games, and it seems like many others are too. The focus has become so much about making worlds bigger and bigger that it’s left players feeling uninspired. This might lead to some significant changes in upcoming open-world RPGs. While there’s no certainty, I believe the genre is on the verge of a transformation, learning from the successes and failures of games we already know. I’ll be using examples from those existing games to explain what I mean.
Yet, mark my words, this bounce was but a whisper in the wind, accompanied by thin liquidity and volumes so meager they could make a hermit blush. Should such conditions persist into the new year, this fragile ascent may crumble like a house of cards in a tempest. 🍃
Many top-tier video games now require 100GB or more of storage space, making it tough to manage what stays on your system. Players often struggle with deciding which games to delete or move to external drives. For various reasons – whether it’s the game’s size, frequent updates, or simply enjoying it – people tend to keep certain games installed, just in case they want to play them again in the future.
