There's a specific view (as I understand it) that QFT's don't scale https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.10072 but some folks seem to dismiss this for reasons I just don't grok at all.

I think Shor's scales lineally, if it's possible to do the fine grain control of the most significant bits. Some people don't think that's a problem, but if it is then growing keys will be an effective defense.

Thank you for your work and perspective - it's important that science is carefully reviewed and that doing the review is well regarded.

I think this shows how bad the definitions for computing are, there's a big rethink needed, but unfortunately it needs a galaxy brain to do it!

I think the record for Shor's remains at 15.

I think that the big challenge is to recast any classical computations as quantum computations with a superpolynomial speedup. I think that all classical problems can be cast as quantum computations because quantum computation is just compu

Will AI take that use case though?

Qualification: Quantum Algorithms that provide superpolynomial speedup, have an application, and don't need quantum memory or rely on quantum data.

whelp... Ok, how would you articulate an understanding of how the weather works? Let's face it, it's not going to be easy to frame in natural language...

I think that this is now a very fringe position - the accumulation of reported evidence is such that if folks were/are fooling themselves it would now be a case of an entire community conspiring to keep things quiet. I mean, it's

Having visibility across the value chain should be very helpful - you can avoid committing to undeliverable products and at the same time anticipate demand from your customers. Overall you should be able to run the same thing on much lower

I wonder how they could do that if they are on 8 250MHz bearers?

Fascinating that the throughput is about 250mbs. Presumably that's over the area served by one satellite? I wonder how much cache they put in each one... I vaguely remember a stat that 90% of requests (in data terms) are served from a

Unfortunately I think that's a hard yes - because these people don't have to accept these positions. I think that this kind of high stakes gambling is part of the problem here... Much better to defuse responsibility in the executi

I think you are onto something. There's often a threat to make companies pay 4% of their global turn over or something, but it would be more effective to make them issue voting shares with a value of 4% of their equity to the goverment

Why wouldn't you just quilt them up in lots of pockets and then attach them like wall paper?

I say again, we can either have a social democracy where we decide what the rule of law is with a plebiscite or we can have a libertarian rights based society where whoever has capital can decide what happens and no one can stop them. If we

On the other hand there's a big part of the UK that doesn't want to work or support itself and does want to confiscate other peoples money in order to continue to sit in social housing with social wellfare and a plethora of other

Very interesting to note that Oxford wasn't extensively bombed in ww2 despite being a manufacturing hub. I wonder what role this incident had in that choice.

That's what I guessed from the story - I suppose that there would be a lot of reticence about buying this site from a lot of corporate actors, but maybe there are a lot of crazy people who could have bought it if the price was right. S

I think it's all the assets of the website. I believe that the current state of play is that Jones has to pay $1.1bn damages even post bankruptcy so maybe any future successes will lead to money for the Sandyhook families. I certainly

I looked into manned Mars missions in a fit of enthusiasm 30 years or so, and I concluded that we couldn't do it because landing a human + life support on Mars requires deceleration technology we just don't have. Basically the spe
