- andrepd 4y agoAhhhh, okay that explains it. I always liked reading Scott's articles on quantum computing, but this was a highly off-putting piece: riddle with mistakes and misrepresentations, and condescending to boot.
- bee_rider 4y agoIt reads less like a fully thought out competing position article, and more like an off the cuff thing that someone might throw together on his coffee break because a friend asked him about it. Maybe he forgot that he was posting it to his personal blog and put as much thought into as one might put into, say, a HackerNews comment.
