That leaves me out.
Am I supposed to get all excited when I hear that things like AI will get way more powerful.
In other words, we can get to the wrong answers faster than ever! *yay*
AI: None of us are as dumb as all of us.
So, what was the answer to the problem it solved?
“The Trouble With Qubits” should have been a Star Trek episode.
I don’t buy it.
By contrast, Alan Norton, of NY’s IBM Research, was putting together a graphics presentation for a conference and this was the project video I made for him to show. In 1989, he was able to create a physically based world in graphics with laws of physics defining what would happen when you let it run, then kept adjusting things until his world did what he wanted it to. To do this, he was connecting together all of our computers around the world at the times when people were sleeping and there was less strain on the systems. The contrast between what was possible then and now is simply staggering.
The demo vase and teapot were grandmother’s and my bestie’s daughter was the one catching the teapot under the table each time Alan had a take. We had to spray non-glare onto Alan’s glasses to get thru this. He was truly one of the wonderful people at Research.

My old deci-deci-log-trig slide rule might have done it just as quickly...
I am not certain that I would be “qualified “ but I grew up learning Basic on green-screen 7 1/2 floppy drives and later C+ on a 486 DX2. Quantum computing makes Deep Blue look like an oversized punch card computer ... sound about right?
The Three Body Problem?...................
Who in hell figures this out - the same geniuses who tell me that my LED light bulbs that burned out in 8 months are going to last 13 years?
Yay “better” advertising tech.
Stock price is up on this news - that’s easy to understand...
I’m sure our government will use this wisely
;p
I suppose this means AI will accelerate...
What did they ask it - “Does this make my ass look fat?”
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.
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.
