Grover's algorithm apparently scales by order sqrt(N).

So I guess for 4 kb RSA, maybe that becomes 1.4 million noisy qubits and 10 days.

Both those numbers seem crazy large to me given where current state of the art Quantum computing is.

Holding a quantum state for a week while Grover's algorithm runs all it's iterations seems very, very far away to me.

To the tune of $1.3B a quarter? Who told you that?

https://nypost.com/2025/04/25/... BYD made $1.3 Billion profit in the first quarter of this year alone... But do tell us more how EV manufacturers can't make profits.

Vonnegut wasn't the first scifi I thought of when I read TFA.

It's an AI Computing Network in the Sky.

When it becomes self-aware it'll shorten it's name to Skynet.

"Hollywood" blockbusters that were filmed at Pinewood UK and would presumably attract this tariff:

• - Avengers: Endgame,
• - Titanic, Star Wars: The Force Awakens,
• - Avengers: Infinity War,
• - Spider-Man: No Way Home,
• - Jurassic World...

I don't think the Trump administration understands how modern films are made.

Don't know about iOS, but the Android baked in VPN doesn't support wireguard, openvpn and quite a few others - so people have to use apps when they need to connect to those types of VPNs.

Oh yeah, agree this particular project isn't ready for prime time yet.

TBH - I'd be willing to use something like this to have containerized build pipelines without needing a windows license. But maybe that's just me.

Yeah, this is the real reason. TFA is way off.

On the flip side - the reason Polestar has so few service centres is that they only have to be serviced once every 2 years.

With more uptake, I assume they'll roll out more service centres.

A PhD level science question is a question that can only be answered by scientific research and experimentation.

And no, by "research", I do not mean googling.

Literally the whole point of a scientific PhD is to perform experiments and study to answer a specific research question that no one has looked into yet.

Whilst ChatGPT can probably can answer "PhD-level science questions" with the same generation of plausible bullshit it answers all questions, I very much doubt ChatGPT can answer PhD-level science questions with any sort of accuracy.

It can't do that without performing experiments (that in some cases might be complex enough to last years).

Just more of the marketing BS silicon valley seems to be full of these days. Remember when California was actually making products that benefited society as well as making money?

*chance* not change. Yanks have no chance. apologies.

Australians lost the Great Emu War of 1932, and they knew what they were getting into.

Yanks have no change this time around.

I currently run a small business and already hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance which applies to all software I write and contribute to.

Many of my clients wouldn't hire me otherwise.

It isn't that expensive.

If I'm legally, provably negligent, I expect to be held responsible for it. I'm a professional that takes pride in my work, not a monkey that throws code at a wall hoping some of it will stick.

What are the logical reasons to believe them? Every study I've seen shows that WFH increases productivity. I don't believe executives when they say WFH decreases productivity because I haven't subjectively seen it in either my or my wife's workplace, and every objective study I've seen says the same. These executives ARE lying.
