Geordie's reply to Scott's blog: "The majority of that post is simply factually incorrect. As one example, Troyer hasn’t even had access yet to the system Cathy benchmarked (the Vesuvius – based system). (!) Yes Rainier could be beat by dedicated solvers — it was really slow! Vesuvius can’t (at least for certain types of problems). Another is he thinks we only benchmarked against cplex (not true) and he thinks cplex is just an exact solver (not true). These types of gross misunderstanding permeate the whole thing. I used to find this stuff vaguely amusing in an irritating kind of way. Now I just find it boring and I wonder why anyone listens to a guy who’s been wrong exactly 100% of the time about everything. Update your priors, people!! If you want to know what’s really going on, listen to the real experts. Like Hartmut. http://googleresearch.blogspot.ca/2013/05/launching-quantum-artificial.html http://googleresearch.blogspot.ca/2013/05/launching-quantum-...
