Why I Stay with Serverless in 2024 š

May 11, 2024 | dev.to | Derek Wang

Starting Out with ServerlessBack in 2017, I took my first steps into the serverless world using the Serverless Framework to deploy stuff on AWS Lambda. It was great for managing cloud resources with code. Initially, I used a bunch of YAML configurations, but honestly, YAML started to wear me out. That's when I stumbled upon Serverless Stack (SST) which, at least until version 2, was all about AWS CDK. Switching to TypeScript for structuring AWS resources? Game changer.

VICTORIA KINGHAMSo it’s done. A whole year of organisation, ten days of one-after-another performances by some of the world’s finest young pianists. An extraordinary event, a glittering array of talent. It was a privilege and a revelation to me to attend Stage Two and the final, comprising concerts by young pianists who are surely among the best anywhere. They chose from a set list of concertos in each round.

All five suspects were arrested for first-degree robbery. Police also recovered 14 handguns during the arrests, Diaz said. They’ll be tested to see if they’re connected to any shootings in the area.
Braiding fractional quantum Hall quasiholes on a superconducting quantum processor

Aug 2, 2023 | link.aps.org | Ammar Kirmani |Derek Wang |IBM Quantum |Pouyan Ghaemi

Abstract Direct experimental detection of anyonic exchange statistics in fractional quantum Hall systems by braiding the excitations and measuring the wave-function phase is an enormous challenge. Here, we use a small, noisy quantum computer to emulate direct braiding within the framework of a simplified model applicable to a thin cylinder geometry and measure the topological phase. Our algorithm first prepares the ground state with two quasiholes.
