IBM has just unveiled its boldest quantum computing roadmap yet: Starling, the first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer—coming in 2029. Capable of running 20,000X more operations than today's quantum machines, Starling could unlock breakthroughs in chemistry, materials science, and optimization.According to IBM, this is not just a pie-in-the-sky roadmap: they actually have the ability to make Starling happen.In this exclusive conversation, I speak with Jerry Chow, IBM Fellow and Director of Quantum Systems, about the engineering breakthroughs that are making this possible ... especially a radically more efficient error correction code and new multi-layered qubit architectures.We cover:- The shift from millions of physical qubits to manageable logical qubits- Why IBM is using quantum low-density parity check (qLDPC) codes- How modular quantum systems (like Kookaburra and Cockatoo) will scale the technology- Real-world quantum-classical hybrid applications already happening today- Why now is the time for developers to start building quantum-native algorithms00:00 Introduction to the Future of Computing01:04 IBM's Jerry Chow01:49 Quantum Supremacy02:47 IBM's Quantum Roadmap04:03 Technological Innovations in Quantum Computing05:59 Challenges and Solutions in Quantum Computing09:40 Quantum Processor Development14:04 Quantum Computing Applications and Future Prospects20:41 Personal Journey in Quantum Computing24:03 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour has a rich Indigenous history, the one-time industrial site is now a nature reserve and function centre.

Every now and then, you meet people who radiate such generosity, such quiet brilliance, that you walk away feeling a little bit better about the world. Chae and Yoora, the couple behind the tiny six-seat Korean restaurantChaein the hills of Cockatoo, are exactly those kinds of people.This is a restaurant where time is the main ingredient. Years go into the ferments, and the big clay jars sitting outside, quietly brewing flavour, take up more than just physical space; they represent a completely different way of thinking about food and business. The intimacy is part of the experience: Chae, calmly plating at the bench, Yoora quietly attentive to everything else. It began humbly, in their Brunswick apartment, with Chae just giving it a go. But beneath that quiet start was a deep well of skill, philosophy and soul. ​ Now, I have a confession. This was actually the second time I sat down to record this episode. The first time, I drove out, I had a beautiful, thoughtful conversation with Chae and Yoora, drove home, and, poof. The recording vanished. Gone. A technical glitch, or maybe just the podcast gods keeping me humble. But Chae, being the gracious human she is, invited me back. And I'm so glad she did, because this chat, take two, feels even more special.

Welcome back to the Proper True Yarn Podcast, where the yarns are big, the laughs are louder, and the true stories? Well, they're as wild as they come. This week, we're joined by the legend himself, Jeff Perot, who's got a stack of tales from the outback—and this one is full of snakes, scares, and a bloody hilarious cockatoo caper.First up, Jeff tells us the story of Fred Waterson and a run-in with a ten-foot black-headed python. Fred's fear of snakes is no match for Jeff's sense of humor, as he tricks Fred into getting up close and personal with the snake in an old mailbag. But things take a wild turn when Fred gets the shock of his life, sending the truck swerving through a tight corner and stripping both side mirrors off. Fred's terror and Jeff's storytelling? Unforgettable.Then, we move on to a yarn from Jeff's boxing days, where he was thrown into the ring with McGill the Gorilla—a fight that might have been rigged, but not in the way Jeff had planned. With help from his mate Doughy, a former light heavyweight champion, Jeff takes us through a series of wild moves and codes in the ring, teaching us all that boxing (and life) isn't always what it seems.And to top it all off, there's a story about Bob Cooper and his lost cockatoo. When the bird escapes, Jeff and his mate Peter find themselves with an unexpected guest... until Bob comes back from holiday and wants to reward them for their "rescue" efforts. But what Jeff didn't count on was the cockatoo's true fate. It's a yarn with a twist and some classic outback humor.It's another cracker of an episode from Jeff, filled with unexpected turns, laughs, and a whole lot of adventure. Tune in, strap in, and get ready for a ride through the wildest stories Australia has to offer.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The alpine forests of Australia's southeast are home to an iconic pint-sized gray parrot with a bright red mohawk, and a call that's been described as a “flying creaky gate.” The Gang-gang Cockatoo has seen significant habitat loss in recent years, especially after the 2020 wildfires. It's now listed as an endangered species. A new national working group is coordinating recovery efforts. Researchers and community scientists are trialing an innovation on the Gang-gang population called the “Cockatube” — a PVC tube designed to host a cockatoo nest.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

A beautiful Rose-breasted Cockatoo named Harri took the adventure of a lifetime. She set off unseen on a cruise ship from Brisbane, Australia, and wasn't discovered until the ship neared New Zealand. Authorities there were not happy to see Harri, whose species is the bane of farmers in her native Australia, and they threatened to euthanize her if she wasn't properly locked up. The ship's officers gave Harri her own luxury cabin, and she was reunited with her family two weeks later.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

But scientists recently discovered a stronghold for the species: Komodo Island — yes, the one with the dragons. The Komodo population of Yellow-crested Cockatoos appears stable. The island has been an Indonesian national park since 1980. Park rangers may have helped deter poachers, but community support for conservation and the literal dragons have played a role, too.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

Today's episode welcomes Gail Kasper - the world's leader in customization for sales keynote speeches and training programs. She is the creator of the Systematic Attitude Development-Technique™️ (SAD-T™️) and Cockatoo Selling, an innovative advanced sales program. These concepts are described in detail in her books Unstoppable: 6 Easy Steps To Find And Achieve Your FIRE and Sell Like A Cockatoo: How To Master The New Way Of Selling In A Rapidly Changing World. She's also a 2x TEDx Speaker, TV Host, sought after podcast guest and sales trainer who gets in the trenches with her clients to guarantee that they achieve their desired outcomes.When Gail started out in sales, she was selling training programs making only commission. Soon enough her first media opportunity arrived hosting a weekly TV show, which ultimately got her fired from the training company. With only 1 active coaching client, she started getting more work within the clients firm, eventually moving across regional offices all the way to holding lectures at their companies training university. College dropouts finding sales is a tale older than time. The reason why to this day companies still choose to hire them for sales positions is simple - when you don't have a fallback, you're much more likely to be self driven, which is a huge asset in sales. Both Gail and Kevin agree that in 2024 salespeople have gotten lazier, which could be attributed to the variety of tools, automations and AI workflows that have become easily accessible to everyone. Unfortunately for them, in the current economic climate doing the bare minimum and overly relying on tools is no longer a sustainable strategy.

Gail also discusses the impact of AI on sales and the importance of genuine rapport building in sales interactions. Takeaways Sales is often seen as a dirty word, but it actually comes from a Greek root word meaning 'to give'. Customization is key in sales training, including understanding the company, its value proposition, and the products. Networking and referrals are powerful tools in sales, and face-to-face interactions can make a big difference. The systematic attitude development technique helps sales professionals get logical in the face of emotion and overcome challenges. When hiring sales professionals, look for core competencies such as passion for the product, resilience, and a customer-centric mindset. Thinking quickly on your feet and fighting for yourself are important skills in competitive situations. Experience in media can contribute to a sales career by boosting confidence and providing opportunities for training and coaching. Genuine rapport building is crucial in sales, and salespeople should focus on understanding the customer's needs and providing value. AI may have a role in sales, but human-to-human contact and targeted, personalized approaches are still essential for success.
