“eww, so middle class!”
She’s surprised by the plant (fair enough). Compared to the shit Trump says the dems are mild.
Compared to Trump anyone is fabulous.
Oh for sure, it just felt like the same energy as the OP.
Better than the reaction I probably would have had. I would have had to shove my hands in my pockets because I’d immediately have the urge to start touching it and looking closely at all the bits and pieces.
I always look for the detachable parts. I mean, it has to have detachable parts, right?
If it doesn’t it will if you hit it hard enough
If it doesn’t move: paint it.
If it does move: paint it until it stops moving.
Do you mean qubits and pieces?
“worst chandelier I’ve ever seen”
TIL its not a chandelier
“That’s the Internet there, right? A series of tubes?”
New meme template just dropped
What the hell is that thing?
It looks like a quantum computer
I didn’t know quantum computers looked like 70’s sci-fi movie props. I’ve never seen one before. I looked it up, and I think you’re right.
If they don’t do anything useful yet, you better make them look smashing to get that funding!
I guess :-)
Not enough wires imo
Fuck quantum computing and fuck donald biden
What’s wrong with quantum computing?
Quantum computing got us the Donald Biden superposition
indecisive as fuck
Uhm… a lot? It is a field fueled with empty promises. While academia is falling apart, quantum computing allows some physicists not to starve. Once they both collapse, the trust and investments in physics collapse as well
What a wild claim, imma need sources
Like what exactly? Do you understand that science is self-referential? Nobody from the quantum computing world will confirm that they’re crooks and those physicists who claim that QC is a bubble are pronounced dorks.
I don’t have sources, only arguments.
- They had an audacity to announce achieving quantum supremacy a few years ago. If you read this paper carefully, you’d see that the achievement is simulation of the quantum chip itself for 200 ms.
- Algorithms. Why the fuck one would need to crack a fucking security code? While a substantial progress in error correction has been achieved, 3 old main algorithms for real world use are still in favor: Schor, Grover and Quantum Fourier. And they are still not superior for AES256.
- Significant changes in roadmap have been announced from a proclaimed leader of quantum computing. They have expected 1000 operational qubits by 2025, but now they want to error correct on their 84 qubits scheme (that still stimulates itself). I hope that in this decade they could use quantum computers to prove that 161 = 7 x 23, but I’m in doubt.
I’m not in anyway claiming that quantum computers should not be developed: they might have uses in material science and in metrology. I’m highlighting the predicament that we have here: if the expectations from QC were real, nobody would invest in it, but if the expectations are not real, the investments will experience a sudden drop which will stop the research for a while.
