    Have you ever built a NN model? Have you ever broken a crypto system, even a small one?

    There are plenty of algorithms that quantum algorithms give no benefit to. Quantum is NOT a free for all making everything faster. It’s only faster at two very,very restricted thin…

    You’re not giving it to a banker, you’re trading risk for return and flexibility. One can access savings at any time, any amount. Not true with bonds, maybe if you fiddle with indi…

    Single event upsets are forced on you by physics. There is no possible way to stop them all.

    That's not recursion. And reversing arrows on this category turns base cases into co-base, or start cases, (and these are still often called base cases in the literature), so it is…

    It's because the underlying optimizer follows patterns in LLVM, which is used for a lot of languages, most applicable here is C/C++, and bit things like this are used a lot for per…

    I looked over their financials. You conjectured out of feelings and ignorance. Calling my evidence naive, when you are simply making things up, is ludicrous. Go do some legwork, ge…

    Last year was 5b net profit on 44b revenue. Attributing more than a tiny fraction of profit to the right to repair stuff is wild dreams, given the amount of physical goods they sel…

    This feels like the “we should make an internet company that ships pet food to anyone, anywhere!” of the 21st century.

    You’re claiming in 10 years they made something others won’t for another century? This has no historical precedent. China is going to eat them, just like they ate Teslas insurmount…

    Rent vs own is about price. If you want to own something, digital, physical, information, goods, then a vendor will charge more, sometimes a lot more, to sell you an infinite owner…

    I take it you don't know much about frequency time tradeoffs. It is not possible to convert 48 khz to 44 khz without approximation. And there is incredible room to design filters t…
