What Quantum Computing Isn't
- baxuz 9y agoCouldn't get to the end. The guy is horribly annoying to listen to.
- tmccrmck 9y agoHe's also one of the preeminent minds in quantum computing. When Scott speaks he's worth listening to regardless of his mannerisms.
- mathgenius 9y agoI find it is the same with his writing. It just goes on and on. His more technical papers are better, but his blog is just a pain. I guess it takes more work to be brief. (At least for some.)
- torbjorn 9y agoPersonally, I find his writing style very enjoyable and often hilarious.
- AlexCoventry 9y agoWhat's annoying about him? I didn't notice anything annoying.
- mcguire 9y agoScott Aaronson is brilliant, he knows his shit, and he's very, very good at explaining it. But, and I say this as someone who hates listening to my own speech, listening to him is nigh painful. Is there a text version of this talk around?
- ZenoArrow 9y agoJust watch it with subtitles and the sound off if it bothers you that much (I personally enjoyed the presentation).
- smhost 9y agoI like to watch informative videos with subtitles at 2x speed because the subtitles make it easy to follow and the increased speed smooths out the verbal tics and idiosyncrasies (less distracting).
- ladzoppelin 9y agoWow, nice video.

- beebmam 9y agoI think he was fine at communicating and not terrible to listen to. I just didn't find the talk that interesting or cover anything I didn't already know about quantum computing theory. I wish it did, because there's much I don't understand.
- quickthrower2 9y agoThis is exciting. Eventually well all have a quantum computer in our pocket (or body?). The exciting thing is what possibilities does that bring? I guess we don't know yet.
