Sounds like you do not know at all how vaccines work.

GoG, ITCH.IO, Zoom and other allow you to download an offline installer. Steam is the LAST place I buy a game from.

I find it hysterical. The current massive problems with LLMs are not a result of too little training data. They are a result (in part) of low quality training data. And they are just gathering more of it.

Nope and I did not claim that. What I do know is that many of the non-commercial researchers into QCs are quite aware they are not doing it in order to build a QC. They are doing it for side-results and because, due to idiots like you, it is easy to get grant money when you claim you are trying to build a QC. That makes the research quite worthwhile, but it does not make it produce a QC.

That is because you have absolutely no clue how research works. There are useful things coming out of QC research. It is just not QCs.

Incidentally, that is the explanation a quantum computing researcher gave me about 35 years ago when I asked directly, in private.

try that defense in court. It has worked for so many people before. Technically you are correct, but the courts have decided that depriving a corporation of potential profit is as good as asportation.

I like the term "hallucination", because with AI it now describes something made up because of a lack of understanding.

Now you are hallucinating. The exact opposite is true. All scaling in QCs has been sub-linear and very likely inverse (!) exponential. Incidentally, factoring 21 is the current, actual, not-outdated-at-all record for a real quantum calculation.

If you want, I can also call you "delusional" instead of "hallucinating". Would fit about as well with what you just claimed.

You have to be utterly blind (or a cult member) to not see how much worse this one is. Well, there are both utterly blind people and cult members in abundance. I guess you are just one of them.

So, the Trump fans are now pivoting from "Everything is excellent with out great beloved leader in power!" to "Yes, we and our leader are complete fuckups, but so is everybody else!" ? Is that what you are saying?

I agree. The thing is that nuclear cannot be safe and economically viable at the same time. The only question is how different countries chose to make this impossible trade-off. The only rational version is, clearly, not to play this stupid game at all, but irrationality, greed and delusions are strong forces.

I also like the morons that claim nuclear is always available. These idiots do not even know the basics of a power-grid. For example, nuclear is not suitable as regulation energy at all and a grid with more nuclear than 70% cannot be made stable. The rest needs to be fast regulation energy because when a nuke SCRAMs, it begins to draw quite a bit of power for a long time and does so with no warning. Nuclear is about the most stupid, most limited, most unreliable and most expensive form of generating electricity.

Ah, sorry. I get confused about the number, because it does not really matter, only that it is exceptionally small. You are right, it was 21.

That just means you have no clue what you are talking about...

At this time, this is the only rational stance left. There is no indication that QCs can ever scale to useful size, but a ton of indicators that they likely will not. There is not even solid proof that QCs work at all, because the longest, most complex complex calculation ever done successfully is apparently factoring 29 with a specialized algorithm for 29. That is easily in range for a conventional analog computation by non-quantum mechanisms. Hence while I think it is unlikely, the computation mechanisms that QCs rely on may still turn out to be hallucinations. Also note that even very, very, very minor deviations from the theory (and we _always_ had those in the past as soon as we had equipment to verify theory against reality precisely enough) would completely kill the QC idea. The precision required to do, say, a 128 bit calculation precisely, is unimaginable and a digital computer only reaches it by extreme measures.

You should read the accident report some time.

Sweden is a very interesting case. I think what they have is a result of mindless enthusiasm and not thinking things through colliding with reality. Reality always wins out in the end, but it can take some time.
