The breakthrough — achieving this "below threshold" milestone — means that errors in a quantum computer will reduce exponentially as you add more physical qubits. It charts a path for scaling up quantum machines in the future.
The technology relies on logical qubits. This is a qubit encoded using a collection of physical qubits in a lattice formation. All the physical qubits in a single logical qubit share the same data, meaning if any qubits fail, calculations continue because the information can still be found within the logical qubit.

Bitcoin and altcoins have crashed the past 2 days over concerns Quantum chips can crack the codes that secure the cryptocurrencies. But my reading of it is that these fears are way overblown, and it would take hundreds of thousands of these chips to even come close to cracking BTC, and even then BTC can upgrade itself with a fork.
A Bill Cosby bit. I may still have the album, from the ‘60s somewhere.
this would make cracking encrypted streams trivial.
almost everything on the net is stream based.

For those who are not intellectually equipped.
I’ll be in the garage working on something will check the answers later.
Pushing you a little here and thank you for your expertise, what would his vision even look like?

More like doing your work in a video game environment, I would think, putting words in his mouth.
These were incredibly early days. Video was JUST going onto the screen and there were still bugs in it.

When I went out to the CA Research Lab to make a video on a language for drawing pictures, it turned out that it could only draw a pine tree and a sun. So my husband spent the time while I wrote the script making it do a more complicated drawing. I was forced to find cutaways with cutting out clay, etc. That was a story. John Backus, of Fortran and Backus-Naurer Fame, usually worked out of his house in Twin Peaks, so I used his office for the clay cutting. Which is how I learned that oak has a wide grain. You’d see John’s manager sneaking a look both ways and running into John’s office to try to scrub out the clay. I actually took a whole set of my music videos to John’s group after the workday was done to show them what I was doing to TV shows. Then I crawled around on the floor during one of John’s group meetings to get more cutaways.

Being able to add moving pieces onto the computer was pretty radical. There were two different projects looking at that - Magic Paper and Global Desktop.

Since I made videos for our head of Research, my videos were often his keynote address videos, so I made little music videos out of the projects.

First music video I ever made for him was for our Swiss lab that came to NY for me to make their video. The researcher had a Nobel Prize and I remember arguing with him all through one whole night about the script. It showed how to visualize noise on a telephone line running the new algorithm for the 19.2 KB modem, so when I went to a Common Lisp meeting in Hawaii, I was Secretary of the X3J13 group, I spent my spare time taking cutaways of telephone poles.

Thank you, I’m keeping this to pick through
They are very quickly becoming more intelligent than we can ever hope to be. They will soon decide we are not needed and deal with us accordingly.
God loves His creatures, He will intervene.
They can review and cancel you faster the. You can type “screw you!”
