Quantum computers with one million times the strength are needed to crack Bitcoin; A robot performed

Quantum computers with one million times the strength are needed to crack Bitcoin; A robot performed surgery on pigs without human help Jan 28, 2022 [View in browser]( Good morning to the STAR robot that pulled off a delicate surgical procedure on a pig without human help for the first time. For now, it'll merely continue to assist human surgeons, rather than replace them. Speaking of technological mutiny, Elon Musk is not happy about a Twitter account that's tracking his private jet, and he called it a "security risk". He's even offered the teen owner $5,000 to delete his account. Meanwhile, a new study explores whether quantum computers could crack the blockchain cryptography that underpins Bitcoin, but the answer is tenuous. This is The Blueprint. Keep reading. HEALTH [A Robot Performed Soft-Tissue Surgery on Pigs. Without Human Help?]( [Courtesy of Axel Krieger and Jin Kang.]( Would you be willing to lie under the scalpel of a robot operating without the guiding hand of a human? You should think about it, since a robot built by a team of researchers at Johns Hopkins University [performed surgery on pigs without human help](. - Robot surgeon. The Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot, or STAR, is a vision-guided system built primarily for suturing soft tissue, which is particularly challenging for robots to perform due to its unpredictable nature. A tricky, delicate operation. In the breakthrough trial, STAR joined sections of intestines together inside the abdominal cavities of four live pigs after a section was removed, carrying out 86 stitches in total. And, turns out, it was "significantly better" than humans. The trial could be the first step toward [fully autonomous surgery in humans]( although this goal is likely decades away.

He Offered $5,000 to Stop]( [Elon Musk at Manhattan federal court (left), and a Gulfstream G650 (right).]( Wherever billionaires go, someone is probably watching. This is why the space baron billionaire Elon Musk [messaged the 19-year-old owner of a Twitter account]( that tracks the tech CEO's private jet, offering $5,000 to remove their account. - Called the "Elon Musk's Jet" account on Twitter (@ElonJet), it monitors the movements of the billionaire's private jet via bots that are always monitoring air traffic data. In other words, this is public information, simply reposted to Twitter. A fair counter-offer? Following Musk’s $5,000 offer, the owner of the account made a $50,000 counter-offer. Musk reportedly then said he'd consider it, but as of writing, he had yet to reply either way. And, bizarrely, upon learning that this location data was publicly available, Musk reportedly said [air traffic control is “primitive”]( which could mean he'd prefer to alter the system, rather than adapt. We can only say good luck with that.

Quantum computers could, in theory, crack Bitcoin, but probably not anytime soon, since they would have to be about a million times larger than they are today. So, in practice, cryptocurrency likely won't be at risk from quantum computer-wielding hackers for roughly a decade. For example, IBM's superconducting quantum computer has only 127 qubits, meaning it would have to be a million times larger to hack Bitcoin. However, the company aims to build [a 1,000-qubit quantum computing chip called Condor]( by 2024. The pace of innovation in quantum computing is difficult to predict, but you can bet a whole Bitcoin that hackers will be keeping an eye on the latest developments.
