Wealthy people have to be more productive as they are paid more for their productivity.
Not a valid argument.

I keep wondering can you design a solar panel that uses photonic bitcoin mining. That would be ridiculously efficient.
Only until everyone else has them too

Yeah; A real "Hello world" quantum program is randomly printing 0 or 1 without any pseudo-random generator. At the most fundamental level, the quantum-bit can be in many states, but when measured will "jump" to either 0 or 1.
In that website's playground (https://quantumjavascript.app/playground.html), just write:
H
Now, /why/ does it jump when measured? We don't know, but physicists have many cool theories.
One of which is that it doesn't really jump, but just that there are many universes created and one shows a 0 and another one shows a 1 (Called the Many-worlds interpretation). As weird as it sounds, it seems like the most promising explanation. There are other theories but they all need to add hacks to make the maths work.
This comment is being taken way too seriously.

In certain parts of the world (tons of Australia, parts of Africa) literally every single building has a solar hot water heater.
They are fantastic in hot climates, and should be littering the roofs in CA, AZ, TX, etc.
Americans are afraid of the "third-world look" of solar water heaters they know from vacations in Europe

"So, what is differentiable programming?
In a nutshell, differentiable programming is a programming paradigm in which your program itself can be differentiated. This allows you to set a certain objective you want to optimize, have your program automatically calculate the gradient of itself with regards to this objective, and then fine-tune itself in the direction of this gradient. This is exactly what you do when you train a neural network."
Isn't this just declarative programming as we know it from e.g. Prolog, SQL or other places where the programmer declares what their objective is, and it's left up to the interpreter, compiler or scheduler to figure out the best way to achieve that? And now that's being applied to ML (which probably makes sense, since it involves a lot of manual tweaking). Sounds like a great use case for a library, but hardly worthy of being called a new programming paradigm.
It's the result of programmers too high on undergraduate math to see through their own smoke clouds.
Also I personally would prefer a paid service, faces typically are secure private documents I would want some level of guaranteed and privacy.
