I'd be happy to share more of my thoughts; if that'd be helpful, I'd be happy to discuss my rates. Outside of that, though, I'll suggest that intuition is less helpful than experience in understanding what problems are m

That's why I emphasized one _logical_ qubit. I'll definitely argue that fault tolerance is necessary to achieve useful results, as you say, but there is some argument in the research community on that. Even setting that discussion

The problem you'll run into for any application of quantum computing to large language models is that quantum computers just aren't very good at big data applications. There's two reasons for that: - Current devices, as well

That would also break the trick of declaring something `const volatile`. While that seems like a contradiction, I've heard of it being used to force the compiler to include a symbol in the final object file. In particular, I've se

With that approach, each call to ``make_window`` produces a distinct type, such that isinstance couldn't be used to compare two windows. That kind of breaks the idea of a "type", I think, as being a collection of values.

No, not proof by analogy, but explanation by analogy. As Scalzi says in his follow-up, providing proof of endemic sexism is about as necessary by now as providing evidence that gravity exists when tripping over one's shoelaces. The evi

"This move makes me very reluctant to work at google." If removing barriers to getting good people interested in what you supposedly love makes you "reluctant," I think that says far more about you than about Google. &qu

Krugman also backed his argument with data, notably the exact same data that Silver is disparaging by hiring people like Roger Pielke Jr. as staff writers. The data is in, and has been analyzed in a multitude of different ways: climate chan

In a way, things like this are a part of the whole bloody point that opponents of the NSA have been making: if you put that much surveillance power into the hands of a relatively small number of humans, then they will abuse it. These sort o

I agree with you, but I'd have hoped the outrageous shit happening now would be enough to break the two-party dynamic, but I'm rather doubting it, having seen that the reactions are defined by the media in an entirely two-party ma

The discussion of power loss during the execution of RegFlushKey makes it sound like there's no journalling of the registry hives... is that accurate?

You got an accurate headline: approval was not obtained. You cannot call drugged up statements approval. You're trying to split a hair that isn't there, about what kinds of coerced approval can be counted as approval and what kind

Given the history of forced sterilization in California, I think it's clear that at least some doctors do not hold themselves to a high ethical standard at all, but in fact, a quite low one. Pressuring an inmate or even offering if the

Approval under continual coercion, especially by people with significant authority over you, isn't actually approval in any meaningful sense. It's not a misleading headline at all.

So you're supposed to wait until you're alone with a woman before you sexually assault and/or rape her? That's not an improvement, and doesn't negate that it's still very much so a rape manual.

Given that they have unilateral control as to what can be installed on non-jailbroken devices, that's rather a cop-out. Apple does have a complete monopoly on content that can be purchased for use with iOS devices. If you don't like B&N

My only real complaint with Firefox Mobile is that it doesn't play that well with Intent filters like the one the YouTube app uses to catch http://*.youtube.com/* requests. That said, I'm not sure how to fix that without introducing the a

You need more classical resources to model a qubit in generality. This is because a qubit can be in the "0" state, the "1" state, or in any superposition between them. For a single qubit, you can describe an arbitrary superposition by two

Along a similar line, I'd love it if I could run an IPython Notebook instance in a packaged app for either Firefox or Chrome. There's a lot of little annoyances to using the notebook interface in my main browser, like having my notebook tab

At least MS backed down from calling their smartphone platform "Windows Phone 7 Series" ( http://gizmodo.com/5471805/windows-phone-7-series-everything... ). What the heck does the word "Series" even communicate in that name?
