The most well known of those is Shor's algorithm and yet it's still extremely difficult to scale. The problem is that quantum computers, like any quantum system, are so difficult to control without introducing massive decoherence

The main benefit of quantum computers is that they're (in principle) very precisely controllable quantum systems. In a sense, if you do a "quantum simulation", it's actually physically real since you are actually working

As a quantum physicist myself, this is a very good question. I remember going to a quantum control conference (a topic very relevant to quantum computing) a few years ago and there were a couple of quantum computing startups. I asked their

Okay but again that makes it sound like it feels very long ago, not recent

> Heck just looking back 4 years, the pandemic years seems to have flown by. It's like a distant memory now. I'm confused, does it feel recent or very long ago? This seems to contradict your previous sentence. If 10 years has g

Noble savage doesn't mean that you think the environment of the past was better than the present, it means that you think the people were better before being corrupted by civilisation. I.e. it's about thinking that the changing

The way these people talk about the past makes it sound like people in the past were somehow perfectly stoic in the face of discomfort or disease, but it's extremely easy to find historical documents showing that this isn't the ca

My shorts feed is far higher quality than my tiktok feed right now. I definitely find value in it

Games are a luxury, you aren't entitled to them (though in a third world country you probably aren't entitled to basic necessities either)

That's fine, the problem is people acting like it's outrageous to charge $60 for 100+ hour length multi-million dollar projects. Factorio recently increased its price by $5 to $35 in line with inflation and gamers are outraged. Ho

This feels extremely legally risky EDIT: I'm getting downvoted. I think people have gone to prison for a lot less than this, at least in the US, please be careful and playfulness is not a legal defense
