I came to the comments to complain about how unreadable it was, saw that it was the movfuscator guy, went back to check if I somehow made a mistake but no, if anything that writeup is one of the egregious ones I've seen recently. What

I understand vibe coding a website if you only care about putting out the info but this is sloppenheimer levels of garbage. It reeks of stunted, far up its own ass Claude-isms everywhere and none of the prose is remotely readable without wa

I'm no ai maximalist, quite the opposite in fact, and I have a great deal of sympathy for the author as a person from a similar trade. However perhaps he is being overly emotional in his response. Purists have been decrying the defilem

I'm rather tired of this ai apologism bit where every downside is explained away as "it would've happened anyways". AI destroying people's brains and causing paychosis? They would've gone psychotic anyways! AI

I dont know where that “Those who cannot do, teach” bullshit came from but it's absolute nonsense someone made up to dunk on teachers. It doesnt even make sense in your post because "programming" isn't "doing comput

This whole article is just a nothingburger. Saying something is applied topology is only one step more advanced than saying something is maths - duh. These mathematical abstractions are incredibly general and and you can pretty much draw up

I'm sorry if this is nitpicky but your comment is hilarious to me - doubling something is doubling something, "changing the order of magnitude" would entail multiplication by 10.

Not only you're responding with an ad-hominem, which is blatantly bad enough; but you're doing it against Benjamin Franklin? One of the most influential thinkers of his time who has contributed to the liberty of way more people th

Did you really think "they just call them grandma/pa" was a good argument against people not knowing their grandparents' names? What do you think people in other parts of the world call their grandparents?

"Maybe this person who did this for 20 years did not know what they were doing" is such an HN take.

Nowhere in the text you quoted (nor in the article body) it is said that simulation of this device can not be done. Had you read the paper you'd see that it _is_ about simulating this device. From the introduction: "After students

The first reference in the article you linked is titled "Computer simulation of Mermin's quantum device".

I am not an expert on this but my suspicion is that human ear is not a linear time invariant system and thus it does not make sense to place a hard cutoff at some frequency over which you can not hear. The response might change wrt to the s

Quantum Computing is a topic that makes it to the front page from time to time and garners a lot of attention. I find this breakdown of short-term prospects of from QC very concise and readable.

You're talking in very vague terms here, what does """interesting""" mean? Let me give you some numbers. Factorising RSA is order 10^6 logical qubits (and I'm being charitable here), simulating FoMoCo

Quantum Computing/Information researcher here. This article is largely garbage, the original (~2 month old) paper is surprisingly readable [0] and I suggest you to check it out. Here's my $0.02: The efforts of the Google team is c

If a real person (not a bot) can tweet more than a 100 tweets per hour (i.e. 1 tweet every 36 seconds on avg) I would call them mentally ill, not power users.

It really is not because this is a semi-common misconception and to me signals basic unfamiliarity with the subject. Schrodinger's eqn being linear has nothing to do with implementing non-linear functions. There's no question abou

As a person who works in Quantum Computing, I can concur that there's hype in the field; one of the professors in my university has a quantum machine learning (TM) startup that seems to be performing well, even though most of the facul

Frankly "peer review" is the furthest thing away from wonderful. While the idea is legitimate, it is undermined at every step of the way. * Reviewers are basically forced to it for free. If you're a researcher you won't

Thank you, looks very much like something I would be interested in.

Yeah. Any mobile network access is basically a beacon for your location but I doubt there's a very good way of getting around that. My main use cases for the smartphone are pretty much occasional messaging, the banking application, GPS
