The number of times I've seen someone "read" a 20+ page document in 2 minutes, is annoying.
There is your use case!
I doubt the AI will be much worse than those people
Seriously, though, I agree with you.
Context is everything in many documents, so I do not have high hopes of a "generic AI" getting that right most of the time.
To a large degree, I agree.
Many documents are really databases, with only a small subset of the document really useful for any given reader.
Being able to query the document for the relevant subset would indeed be very useful.
But I am worried about the system actually delivering the right result.
There is a reason why there is all that other text in there, so it is important to preserve all the bits and pieces that are relevant.
I don't have high hopes that a "generic AI" will get it right every time.
BTW: The student example in the summary is definitely not a good use case, though!
I am undecided if you are being serious or sarcastic.
I can definitely see the benefit of not being flooded with advertisements.
But how do you trust what ChatGPT shows you?
It is well known it will fabricate facts more often than not.
Granted, many web pages a traditional search engine will pull up will contain wrong/fabricated facts.
But at least one can compare multiple search results and/or look at the hosting entity to estimate its trustworthiness.
(Although I know many people are too lazy to do that)
From the paper:
We demonstrate the algorithm experimentally by factoring integers up to 48 bits with 10 superconducting qubits. However, it should be noted that some of the factored integers have been carefully selected with special structures, thus the largest integer factored by a general method in a real physical system by now is 249919 (18-bit).
We find that a quantum circuit with 372 physical qubits and a depth of thousands is necessary to challenge RSA-2048 even in the simplest 1D-chain system.
Yes, a 372-qbit machine may be able to factorize a carfully selected 2048-bit number.
But one would need way more qbits for a "general RSA-2048 private key".
Still a very interesting breakthrough, but no need to panic yet.
but in general a much larger constellation in LEO orbit scales much better.
But do they have to be LEO?
What is preventing "traditional" providers like ViaSat from increasing the number of satellites and thus the throughput?
Is it just cost, or is there are there technical reasons, too?
Either the technology is progressing a lot more rapidly than I expected, or I fell asleep for a decade or two. Weren't there news about 10~100 digits qubits only a year or two ago?
DWave does not build "real quantum computers"... not in the traditional sense.
Their systems are "Adiabatic Quantum Annealers"... basically a specialized, analog minimization engine... which happens to use quantum effects in the process.
Still impressive technology, though.

Unless you are a health care provider (who chargers others for everything), or get out of the house only once a week, the above is highly impractical.
Classical example on how to get your own advice ignored, because you strive for perfection instead of what is actually workable.
If most people work from home, is there still any reason to hire most of the folks from the Silicon Valley area?
sweden is not doing shelter-in-place. They are simply carrying on like no big deal.
And experiencing one of the higher COVID-19 death rates in Europe.
True for now.
Will see what the balance will be by the end of the year (both in terms of deaths, and damages to society, culture and economy).
We (US and most of the EU) cannot just stay indoors for 12+ months. What will happen when the shelter-in-place policies will be relaxed?
What's going to happen when the shutdown ends. Surely there will still be a lot of people that still have it, and a zillion people with no resistance.
Yep. Too many people look just at the short term.
The real winners will be those who minimized the total damage by the end of the year, not in the first couple of weeks.
BTW: Good thing we have Sweden, who took a radical different path, so we will have a meaningful comparison to make next year.
Fake news. Bro, do you EVEN Crossfit?
Would you mind enlighten me with corrected stats?
Thanks
Here are the other stats:
Over 45% of positively tested were asymptomatic. Even given the close quarters, less than 20% got infected. 0.2% of passengers died.
Best news I have heard so far.
And this is also the best tested sample we have.
That's $3 Million per life assuming worst case numbers of deaths and best case numbers for the economic impact. The stimulus package needs to be paid back and no one is expecting that it will cover the costs. Rather it's there to spread out the cost just enough to keep things at a level to not fall into complete chaos. We are probably looking at closer to $20T than $2T in the long term for a months long shutdown. The number of deaths is also more likely to be around 60k in the US with the efforts we've put in place and better general awareness, even if we go back to work. So that number could be as high as $300 Million per life.
Scary $$$ numbers!
About 2.8 million people die every year in the US for a variety of reasons.
So a 0.6 million additional deaths would account for about 20% increase, year over year.
And the worst part is that most users will not even know what they have done.
And most of those (rare users) who will understand what happened, will not really care.
They will get the service, and life goes on.
This is similar to most users giving trove of information to both Google and Facebook.
(anyone having their gmail account as the best communication channel for their bank to contact them?)
As long as very few users get affected, nobody (but a few paranoid users) will really care.
Of course, if and when the sh$t hits the fan, the consequences will be significant.
