But have they factored anything bigger?

I am embarrassed because I looked up the quantum error correction paper and (guess what) I'm totally out of my depth on it! So I could be being a complete plonker here, but what I can understand tells me that for quantum error correcti

Wot? Science isn't a democracy! The parent refs a preprint from a very reputable author, which has been somewhat peer-reviewed already * Now, I got to the bottom of page 6 and my maths failed me: I can't follow the expansion, but

I had an example at work recently where this happened - so I agree with you. You objected, which was right. I rang the customer and explained the misunderstanding. I discussed the problem with the sales folks and it was agreed that this sho

I'm not sure that you are correct. I've tried to read https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.10072 in the last day and if my reading is right (I am very stretched by this stuff so I am very happy to be corrected) then no

Took me a while to read it - seems to be a pretty significant take down of anything that uses a QFT - basically reality won't permit it.

thank you

No one should do business, or collaborate academically, with anyone associated with the video or company again. To co-author with anyone involved with this is misconduct, and every University should be aware of that - they are liars, they c

This is one of the things I really resent about QC as a field - there's so much chaff where one paper will say "we can do x" and the reality is that x does not mean what everyone thought that they meant. Number of Qbits is an

Interesting - why is Shor's sensitive to noise? Is that the Rphase gates?

We need PQC about 20 years before practical, scalable gate quantum computers appear (if they can do all the right gates). I think that this will be signaled when someone factors a 32 bit integer on one. At that point I guess it'll be a

I'd really like to be able to see the data because I have some specific questions of my own... If posting the database isn't possible could someone give some more hints in terms of the API's accessed to get this?

Someone forgot to tell Anthropic about that...

But also the folks who predicted that we would be manning space stations in Saturn's orbit by now - when no human has left low earth orbit for 50 years or so. I think intelligence is similar; the work of yesteryear pointed towards the

>Free bonus I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere yet* This is a good idea. Is it a little like a version of HNSW?

Now, we have e/acc... but they don't seem to want to sing hymns and do go works.

tbh my general response to all data questions is "use postgres". It does happen that someone comes back with a good reason why that would be a bad idea, but it's not frequent! mySQL == Oracle now... so bad on theological grou

I wonder how many of this sort of FAANG project really get used where they are built. I went for an interview at a FAANG years ago to work on a very big consumer product (when it was in relative infancy) and expected to find a hyper tech da

People are fed up with grift. There are two types of grift - pure cynical (crypto, vr, ai influencing & fake products) - make me a medical system that I know can never get approved - make me a business that will never ship a thing but g

Scientific knowledge is contingent, things should be presented as our best theories to fit to the known evidence. When the evidence changes, so should the theories. I am only ever critical of the process when the above does not happen, or w

My experience is that the more complex a loss function that you write for optimisation the lower the likelihood of a "natural" or robust result. So, the software is highly likely to work for all the test cases, and nothing else. T

I think that the separation of the power to issue a currency from the state is profoundly dangerous, undermines the source of legitimacy of our society, and likely to destroy any possibility of a kind and fulfilling world for billions of pe

Are you saying that you don't think that embedding retrieval would work well for this kind of problem or are you saying that you doubt that the UK gov will be doing this kind of thing. BTW - I used to do lots of clustering and analysis

I was reading twitter yesterday and there was a guy saying that Elon says that GTP-4 is an AGI so this blog is definitely wrong. Also : https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.19450 (which shows that there is a big gap between what
