On the other platform, immigration is the hot topic. On this one, my feed looks like a mix of "in a promising new research avenue, quantum computers will be used to test the quantumness of consciousness" and "the new samsung galaxy will be quantum"
My experience with overleaf: it lets you compile even when there are blatant errors in your tex. That's risky because on a day like today, if you try to compile locally it won't work. When the collaborative features are not needed, I don't see the point of using it compared with a local installation
Movie I'm watching now, cast talking about a new special fighter jet. Pilot: "I know a little bit about this. It's quantum processin', right?" Tech guy: "Yeah, it's the first tested application. Ten terabits a second." And then they just move on...
