Turtle Rock Studios, the development team behind co-op zombie shooter Left 4 Dead, today announced they’re developing a new game in partnership with Warner Bros. The game is — hold onto your butts — a co-op zombie shooter called Back 4 Blood. Back 4 Blood? More like Back 4 More, am I right? Neither company has released much info about the game thus far, save that it’ll be a “premium” title with both a campaign and PvP gameplay in which you’ll be able to “shoot up a lot of zombies.” Turtle Rock is adamant this isn’t Left 4 Dead 3, but team members have…

Building a thriving company is never easy, which is why it’s great for entrepreneurs to learn from those who have done it before. Hearing the success stories of leaders in our industries can be really inspiring – but tapping into the knowledge of CEOs and founders of successful companies is a tough thing to do. Unless you catch them at an event, it can be hard to work around their busy schedules. That’s why, together with Adyen, the TNW2019 Growth Quarters track will feature these big names in one place to share their stories. If you’re looking to gain entrepreneurial…

Delve deep into Bitcoin’s craziest conspiracy theories

Bitcoin has always been shrouded in mystery, and to this day, not much is known about its origins or the identity of its creator. The uncertainty of Satoshi Nakamoto‘s identity has spawned a host of conspiracy theories, and a lack of unequivocal proof means some are plausible, while others are obviously outright ridiculous. Think about it: it’s 18 of August, 2008 and someone registers the bitcoin.org domain name. A few months later, in October, a link to a white paper authored by “Satoshi Nakamoto” and titled “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System” is posted to an obscure cryptography mailing list.…

IBM‘s figured out how to ignore noisy qubits and run machine learning algorithms in quantum feature spaces. Eureka-cadabra! The age of quantum algorithms is upon us. A team of IBM researchers created a pair of quantum classification algorithms and then experimentally implemented them on a hybrid system utilizing a 2-qubit quantum computer and a classical superconductor. Basically, they demonstrated that quantum computers can provide advantages in machine learning that classical computers, alone, cannot. According to the researchers’ white paper: Here we propose and experimentally implement two quantum algorithms on a superconducting processor. A key component in both methods is the…
