Your point is well taken, but then look at the other contenders in the Republican camp. If there's any group of people who can make Fiorina look good in comparison in must be Ted Cruz et al.

Newspaper execs have proven over and over again that they don't get the new digital media. If they sign up for this it'll be just more proof that they still don't get it. Further diminishing their own brand to prop up the declining Facebook one.

Have you ever watched it? It's like Monty Python with adult sized hot wheels.

Your priors need updating.

After all you can buy a machine now that solves numerical problems with qubits (no transistors involved).

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
