That's been the practice in manufacturing for a long time. Cleveland Cliffs *might*, but I doubt it. There's little perceived benefit to dense downtown locations for manufacturing corps that don't have a tradition of having one. RM is possible.

November 2, 20222 yr I think we'll have to wait to see if anything really comes of this, but some interesting data points in this article. What FutureLAND Tells About Cleveland's Tech Scene Quote “Recent data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that tech jobs will grow by 11% over the next decade and will add more than 500,000 jobs to the economy by 2029. Cleveland is not only poised to employ more tech workers, Cleveland can become a technology hotspot, and a pacesetter for our economic and digital future,” GCP Senior Vice President, Strategy and New Initiatives Freddy Collier reads at FutureLAND’s final panel. “According to data extracted recently from LinkedIn and reported by Alex Kantrowitz, for a weekly newsletter titled Big Technology, the biggest tech migration increases in the country in many years took place in Madison, Wisconsin, with a 74% increase in incoming tech professionals compared to past years. Cleveland is the second top gainer of tech jobs for the majority of last year, and other Midwest cities like Chicago and Kansas City are all on the high side,” Collier says. Quote In a GCP report, Greater Cleveland was found to have more IT professionals than Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, with nearly 50,000 purely tech sector employees. These companies, such as Park Place Technologies and OverDrive, GCP President and CEO Baiju Shah says, are all valued at more than a billion dollars. https://clevelandmagazine.com/in-the-cle/articles/what-doe-the-future-look-like-for-cleveland Edited November 2, 20222 yr by Luke_S

The company's press release says portions of two other subs as well as local sub QED will be transferred to Canon Health, with Fujitsu, the current head of QED, becoming chairman.

In any case, medical diagnostics needs as much computing power as weather forecasting, so the location is just about perfect, as you say. It will be installed sooner, but IBM's Osprey--its 433 qubit (qubits are the quantum equivalent of bits) state of art processor released this month--isn't useful. 433 qubits is enough to do amazing work in theory, but the qubit integrity IBM actually has is still too low, which means you can run an algorithm through the machine which would be impossible to run on a conventional supercomputer, but the results of algorithm would be so incredibly inaccurate that it's just noise. They compensate for this by having most of the qubits focused on correcting errors of other qubits. This way you can get an accurate result, but the complexity of algorithms is greatly reduced. In other words, the quantum computer to be installed at the Cleveland Clinic next year is not a useful machine for doing calculations, because it can't do anything that your macbook can't. What it IS is a useful training tool for the Clinic to start getting used to the design, infrastructure, and kinds of problems quantum computing can solve. That's why I say in five years, which is my uneducated guess on when IBM's quantum machines become able to do calculations that standard computers cannot. When that time comes, the Cleveland Clinic will be well positioned to jump right in with a minimal learning curve.
