Abstract

Despite recent advances in active listening, date night, and extended pillow talk; it is becoming increasingly more difficult to forecast Tiffany’s mood. With more and more Playstation 5 exclusive games, it is becoming increasingly important to determine Tiffany’s mood before purchasing a new game and playing online Co-op with the boys every evening for a week straight. This paper aims to determine the optimal forecast model of my girlfriend’s drastically growing mood swings by comparing simple moving averages, to sextuple exponential smoothing and even an overly complicated Machine Learning model. Despite initial time-series analysis showing non-stationarity and highly seasonal mood swings, the more simple models provided less riskier forecast predictions when planning a three day bender after Matt got divorced.

Abstract: In a world struggling to find clean, safe, and sustainable sources of energy, the banana is of- ten overlooked. While typical banana applications are rarely developed for uses beyond consumption and gaining a competitive advantage in go-kart races, they contain the radioactive isotope potassium-40. While the unstable potassium isotope is useless for power generation in its natural concentration, an enrichment process could easily produce fuel-grade bananas usable in a light water reactor to produce power using a naturally occurring fuel source capable of being grown in most tropical climates. This paper designs and analyzes the gaseous centrifuge enrichment process, the fission reactor, and the theoretical logistics surrounding a banana-based nuclear energy operation as well as safety procedures.

Author of "Quantum Computing Applications in Competitive StarCraft" Dr. Qubert Spins developed an affordable Quantum Computer for the average PC gamer. In this interview we discuss his opinion on the state of quantum computing and his current research

Abstract: The high-tech, extreme speed, and immense computational complexity of quantum computing have paved the way for modern applications in cybersecurity, solutions to previously impossible optimization problems, weather forecasting, and even modeling of the human genome. Despite all the research in more scientific applications, the world of competitive StarCraft 2 has emerged as one of the fascinating areas where quantum computing has found practical implementation. No professional E-sport has needed an overpriced $25M computer rig for a small advantage over another player more than this Blizzard Entertainment classic turned global phenomenon. In this paper, the specs and capabilities of a cheap and effective Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) Computing rig will be developed into a system that will be ideal for professional StarCraft Zerg players in high-stakes tournaments. At an incredibly low build price of $20M, this computer is the world’s best dollar-for-qubit deal for a video- game-class quantum computer. Additionally, new StarCraft strategies and user capabilities will be developed. With this new hardware and the resulting new strategies, the United States StarCraft team might finally stand a chance against the Koreans. Keywords:
