The quantum speed-up evidence is still shaky, but this is not nothing, and the speed-up conjecture for the gate model is as ironclad as physics can make it, nor is there any reason to think it cannot be built. It's just much harder to scale up than quantum annealing.
Now if only we could get Woz to invest in our QC start-up
We have QC AI patents for Bayesian learning on the gate model.
Don't let AI fall to the irrational artificial neural net crowd. Bayesian learning is the only way to keep them sane!
Thanks for restoring my faith in humanities!
Would have expected this to be already extensively studied. C'mon humanities there must be already some linguistic research on this?
Being fluent in English and German I know exactly what this refers to, in fact it is so glaringly obvious that it simply must have been studied before now.
The first time I really became aware of this is when doing product management in a role that required me to sometimes position products in English and sometimes German. I was startled how much easier marketing spin works in English.
Glad to hear we have a taker who can make some use of them.
True, when I wrote 'scientific computing' I meant fp64 numerical simulations. Data mining is filed under 'business intelligence' in my mind
Which is really a shame, numerical simulations would easily make full use of the memory.
He was also CEO of Pixair and clearly got movies.
Nowadays it's all about recreating movie atmosphere in your living room.
Nope. It's very real and the neurological mechanism is indeed scrutinized in peer reviewed papers

Minor tax issues?!
You have to file income tax on both ends, your country of residence, and the US for the rest of your life. I hated that red tape.
The US is the only country that takes the stance that all your world wide income no matter where it is generated has to be declared, and is going to be taxed by the IRS.
Yes, there are double taxation agreements, but if you make a lot of money you are screwed.
Many banks outside the US these days won't even service Americans because they have to report all account details to the IRS, an extra workload that they are not interested in taking on, especially since it exposes them legally to US laws.
All of the above also applies to green card holders. Which is why I gave mine back. Not so easy to get out of citizenship. You have to pay hefty fines that seem to get hiked up regularly if you want to hand in your passport.
Sorry folks, but your government seems to think it owns you.
The US won against Germany and Japan while obeying the Geneva convention. Japan did expressly not, Germany at least to some extend.
The US did not obey the Geneva convention at Abu Ghraib.
Not playing by the rules worked out just swimmingly for you, didn't it?
Now for the first time the US finally faces an enemy that really makes America good look in comparison. And they are also morons that can be easily defeated.
But no
True, the heuristic for quantum chemistry like DFT are pretty good but that only takes you so far. Statistical physics with the particle model is much easier but then you miss all the emergent phenomena of collective quantum dynamics like superconductivity.
That's why I am excited about quantum computing. Recent research from the ETHZ group of Mathias Troyer have shown that quantum chemistry will already greatly benefit from even modest quantum computing resources (unlike Shor's algorithm which is pretty useless unless you are with the NSA).
