Quantum computing could play a huge role in tackling climate change by handling complex problems like optimizing energy use and enhancing renewable energy storage. It offers a way to develop new materials and improve agricultural practices, potentially reducing deforestation and emissions from industrial processes. This technology could also revolutionize climate modeling and prediction, leading to more precise weather forecasting and better preparedness for climate-related events. Essentially, quantum computing could accelerate the development of clean energy technologies and optimize resources to combat climate change effectively.

Wayve, a UK based company, just got over $1 billion to boost its self-driving tech. They're using AI to make cars and robots drive themselves, planning to sell this tech to different car companies. Their system learns by watching real drivers, which is different from other self-driving tech that follows strict rules. They're also making their system work not just in cars but in other robots too. This huge investment is a big deal in the U.K. and shows that Wayve's tech is promising.

This week we gonna talk about decision Trees. Decision trees ask you yes/ no questions about data until they narrow down information well enough to make a prediction. Imagine each decision as a branch in a tree, starting from the root and moving outwards to the leaves, where each leaf represents a final decision or classification. This branching structure helps in breaking down a complex decision-making process into simpler, more manageable steps. The more complex the situation becomes the deeper and wider the tree becomes. It is crucial to note that not all decision trees are balanced. This means the model might perform well on the training data but poorly on new data, because it has learned the noise rather than the underlying patterns. They are also versatile, being applicable to both classification tasks (like determining if an email is spam or not) and regression tasks (like predicting house prices).

Tesla recently sent out a pretty cold email to some of its employees, letting them know they were laid off. The email was blunt, skipping the usual thank-yous and well wishes that companies typically include. It simply stated that there were no suitable job accommodations or positions available for them, marking a direct end to their employment.

Researchers have pulled off what sounds like sci-fi: they've managed to teleport quantum states nearly perfectly despite environmental noise. Quantum teleportation involves transferring a quantum state from one location to another without moving the physical object. This experiment used a complex method that lets quantum bits (qubits) interact in a way that bypasses usual disruptions like noise. The breakthrough could lead to advances in quantum computing and secure communications, proving we're getting closer to practical uses of quantum mechanics.
