Open A I. Sam has been to the White House quite often. Now Msft grumbling. lol. ( what happened to Quantinium ? ) But Msft did get him started . Open AI For profit now. I would think he’s gonna need some help from IonQ’s Forte Enterprise and Tempo daisy chained now! thru NKT photonics and Oxford Ionics. With Cappella Space being added soon we should be getting some huge gov contracts. We’re looking more and more like a takeover target. Where’s our poison pill?

bets on if iran really negotiates peaceful accord?

usa air refueling tankers and planes capable of carrying bunker buster munitions seem ominous.

iran's proxy attacks on usa forces in the area around iran/iraq/etc imply probable reaction explanation for usa. also , threats against uk. uk is only g7 to get trade deal from t before his return to wh.

how to remove the clerics with as little injury as possible to ordinary innocents/opposition to the regime? they could retire and go monastic with government turned over to some elected person acceptable.

very likely this regime would use human shields to protect their desired assets.

geminiai:japanese: kakushita hide/hidden?



Show thinking
Yes, you are correct!

??? (kakushita) is the past tense, plain form of the Japanese verb ?? (kakusu), which means "to hide" (something, transitive verb).

So, ??? (kakushita) literally means:

"hid"
"have hidden"
"that which was hidden" (when used to modify a noun, acting like an adjective).
Example:

????????? (Kare wa okane o kakushita.) - He hid the money.
?????? (Kakushita basho.) - The hidden place / The place he hid.
If you're looking for the intransitive form (to hide oneself or something is hidden), the verb is ??? (kakureru). Its past tense is ??? (kakureta).

?????? (Kare wa kakureta.) - He hid (himself).
?????? (Kakureta basho.) - A hidden place (where something is hidden).
So, for "hide" or "hidden," kakushita is definitely one correct and common way to express it, specifically in the past tense and when referring to something being hidden by an agent.

For a "comparison" today, see Investor's Business Daily, week of June 16, 2025, page A7. Two articles:

 1) "How D-Wave Is Making Waves In Quantum Computing Market" with its annealing model, but "is open about plans to develop gate model quantum computers."
2) "Nvidia Focuses on Europe For Next Big AI Offensive"

And then there is Barron's, June 16, 2025 at page 17:

"Undoubtedly, the best hedge against AI disruption is the company empowering it all, Nvidea."

Presently, we are profitable in all major companies mentioned in both IBD articles, including D-Wave, Nvidea(entry in 12/2009 at split-adjusted $0.43 per share), IONQ, Siemens, RGTI, MSFT, IBM, QUBT, PLTR, NVO......

   •   Satellite-to-ground command links
   •   Secure intra-theater battlefield data sharing

?

🧠 3. Quantum-AI Integration

Future missile defense may use AI-guided kill chains. IonQ’s work in quantum machine learning (QML) can:
   •   Accelerate AI model training
   •   Detect anomalies in radar data faster
   •   Enable predictive threat analysis using quantum-enhanced models

?

🛰️ 4. Satellite and Space Defense Support

IonQ is already working with aerospace and national security clients (e.g., Air Force Research Lab). Its software-defined quantum computing platform (Tempo) can be deployed in:
   •   Ground command infrastructure
   •   Satellite-based threat monitoring
   •   Integrated space defense systems

?

🚀 Summary
Area
IonQ’s Potential Role
Threat trajectory optimization
Quantum computing for faster simulation
Secure battlefield comms
Quantum networking and QKD
AI-enhanced defense
Quantum machine learning acceleration
Space missile warning systems
Quantum-assisted signal processing


?

🔮 Final Thought

how might ionq be paid for using their ip in a cuquantum simulation architecture


ChatGPT said:
When IonQ licenses its IP (like quantum circuit optimizations, pulse-level control methods, or simulation algorithms) for use within NVIDIA’s cuQuantum simulation toolkit, their remuneration could follow several common tech/IP licensing models:

💰 1. Up-front Licensing Fee
A fixed payment from NVIDIA to IonQ for the right to embed IonQ’s IP within cuQuantum. This is typical of “licensing of proprietary technology” deals, where fees often run into the low-to-mid millions per contract
reddit.com
+3
thequantuminsider.com
+3
reddit.com
+3
dcfmodeling.com
.

🔄 2. Per-use or Tiered Subscription Payments
IonQ could charge NVIDIA per simulation run (e.g. per-GPU execution) or via subscription tiers—such as enterprise-level access to premium modules. This resembles their QCaaS usage-based model (fixed + variable fees based on usage) .

📈 3. Royalty or Revenue Share
IonQ might receive a percentage of cuQuantum revenues when their IP is used in commercial or enterprise contracts, similar to technology transfer deals or strategic partnerships .

🔧 4. Joint R&D or Co-Development Payment
They could enter a cost-sharing arrangement, where both parties fund further development of the licensed IP. Payment may align with development milestones and be recognized over time based on effort expended
dcfmodeling.com

sec.gov

.

🛠 5. Consulting or Expertise Retainer
IonQ may provide ongoing advisory or support services for integrating and optimizing their IP within NVIDIA’s stack—billed either on retainer or project basis—with revenue recognized across the cooperation period
dcfmodeling.com

sec.gov

.

✅ How This Maps to IonQ’s Accounting Model
Based on IonQ’s SEC filings and revenue recognition rubrics:

Up-front fees ? recognized over time (straight-line) or as milestones are met.

Usage-based royalties or subscriptions ? variable; recognized as used.

Co-development & consulting ? treated as performance obligations, revenue recognized based on progress (effort-to-effort)

🧩 Example Scenarios:
Model Implementation in cuQuantum
Fixed license NVIDIA pays $2?M upfront for commercial use rights.
Usage/Subscription $X per simulated quantum operation or tiered library access.
Royalty/Revenue Share IonQ earns a % of annual cuQuantum licensing revenue.
Co-development plus consulting Both contribute funds; IonQ helps with integration and optimization.

✔️ Bottom Line
NVIDIA could structure payments to IonQ for cuQuantum IP in a flexible, modular fashion—leveraging fixed license fees, per-use charges, revenue shares, consulting retainers, or combos thereof. IonQ would then recognize that revenue according to GAAP rules: straight-line over license term, variable as usage occurs, and co-dev revenue based on progression
