Intending to allow developers to leverage quantum computers’ capabilities to improve the quality of their machine-learning models, IBM has released a new model known as the Qiskit Machine Learning. Qiskit Machine Learning is a part of IBM’s open-source quantum software development kit that uses computational building blocks to bring machine-learning models into the quantum space. One of the Qiskit Machine Learning features its ability to produce QuantumKernel, a tool that computes kernel matrices for a given dataset into a quantum framework.

America and its military need a blockchain strategy | C4ISRNET

For the first time, China has included blockchain technology in its five-year social and economic development plan. Specifically, the country will be using blockchain technology applications in supply chain management, e-governance and fintech, and so much more. It is also expected that blockchain technology will give the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) a competitive edge in weapons lifecycle, information warfare, intelligence, and personnel management. China’s move has positioned Beijing as a leader in this foundational technology at the expense of U.S. national security, which means that the U.S. must leverage blockchain’s inherent advantages to reverse this trend.

5 ways to fix your PS4 when it won’t connect to Wi-Fi | Business Insider

Without an internet connection, your PS4 isn’t as exciting as it should be. Once and for all, without an internet connection, you won’t be able to use most of the console’s most important features, including multiplayer gaming, streaming video, and installing new games. If you are having trouble connecting your PS4 to the internet, this could be because the PlayStation Network may be offline, or there may be password issues with your Wi-Fi or console. It could also be possible that the router may not be connected or having larger connectivity issues, or there might be a need to change your DNS settings on your PlayStation. To troubleshoot such issues, you must check whether the PlayStation Network is online or determine if other devices can connect to the internet. You can check your PS4’s internet connection to the router or re-enter your Wi-Fi password as well.

He also added that there had been reports about other sightings by aviators in the air and by other ships not only of the United States but other nations as well.
