Yeah, GPU acceleration is currently broken. Something something mlt issue. I’m looking forward to the fix but not holding my breath. I can survive on CPU til then, though

No, I’m cool. I do a good bit of nerdy/antisocial stuff but I’m actually a certified chiller

We’ve already done bosonic sampling that’s classically intractable. Google published it a few years ago. So yes, quantum supremacy has already been proven. It’s a useless toy problem, but one a classical computer just can’t do.

Yes, error correction will get harder the more we scale, but we’re pretty sure we’ve reached the point where we win by throwing more qubits at it. Again, now it’s engineering the scaling. No mean feat, it’ll take a long time, but it’s not like this is all speculation or fraud. The theory is sound

Re: quantum computing, we know quantum advantage is real both for certain classes of problems, e.g. theoretically using Grover’s, and experimentally for toy problems like bosonic sampling. It’s looking like we’re past the threshold where we can do error correction, so now it’s a question of scaling. I’ve never heard anyone discuss a limit on computation per volume as applying to QC. We’re down to engineering problems, not physics, same as your brain vs computer case.

HANL reference???🥵💯💯

How many countries owning or hosting nukes have been invaded?

Nothing did go wrong, though. If you’re saying there was a close call, that’s true, but Russia doesn’t have the ability to threaten a conventional response. And no one gets nuked for moving nukes around; look at Belarus.

Countries that have nukes don’t get invaded. Simple as

Cool, let’s let them. Poland’s a strong ally in Europe. I don’t see a downside
