This is an interesting perspective. It reminds me of waking up one day and watching a video of boston dynamics' atlas sticking a backflip. Yes, these things have been in development for decades, but there's something very startling about when you suddenly realize how much they've matured.

- macawfish 9y agoEven for experts, classical and quantum computing both involve very complex engineering. There are inevitably going to be hurdles and growing pains. This moment feels like a growing pain... I'm imagining that the transition to quantum computing will come with growing pains of similar magnitude. It's like when you turn the hot water on and run it over your hand. At first it's cold, gradually it gets warmer and warmer, then there's a moment when you pull your hand out... the water is suddenly too hot, it's crossed a threshold.
