I'd be happy to share more of my thoughts; if that'd be helpful, I'd be happy to discuss my rates. Outside of that, though, I'll suggest that intuition is less helpful than experie…

That's why I emphasized one _logical_ qubit. I'll definitely argue that fault tolerance is necessary to achieve useful results, as you say, but there is some argument in the resear…

The problem you'll run into for any application of quantum computing to large language models is that quantum computers just aren't very good at big data applications. There's two …

Hi, I'm a dev on Q#, and wanted to help clarify a bit how the Quantum Development Kit relates to LIQUi|〉. Microsoft's Quantum Development Kit is a successor to LIQUi|⟩ and we're ex…

Hi, I'm one of the devs on Q#! We're excited to make this preview release of Microsoft's Quantum Development Kit available on Windows PCs. We're exploring the possibility of suppor…

That would also break the trick of declaring something `const volatile`. While that seems like a contradiction, I've heard of it being used to force the compiler to include a symbo…

With that approach, each call to ``make_window`` produces a distinct type, such that isinstance couldn't be used to compare two windows. That kind of breaks the idea of a "type", I…

No, not proof by analogy, but explanation by analogy. As Scalzi says in his follow-up, providing proof of endemic sexism is about as necessary by now as providing evidence that gra…

"This move makes me very reluctant to work at google." If removing barriers to getting good people interested in what you supposedly love makes you "reluctant," I think that says f…

Krugman also backed his argument with data, notably the exact same data that Silver is disparaging by hiring people like Roger Pielke Jr. as staff writers. The data is in, and has …

As long as you aren't female. http://t.co/PFuwmChLkQ

In a way, things like this are a part of the whole bloody point that opponents of the NSA have been making: if you put that much surveillance power into the hands of a relatively s…

I agree with you, but I'd have hoped the outrageous shit happening now would be enough to break the two-party dynamic, but I'm rather doubting it, having seen that the reactions ar…

The discussion of power loss during the execution of RegFlushKey makes it sound like there's no journalling of the registry hives... is that accurate?

You got an accurate headline: approval was not obtained. You cannot call drugged up statements approval. You're trying to split a hair that isn't there, about what kinds of coerced…

Given the history of forced sterilization in California, I think it's clear that at least some doctors do not hold themselves to a high ethical standard at all, but in fact, a quit…

Approval under continual coercion, especially by people with significant authority over you, isn't actually approval in any meaningful sense. It's not a misleading headline at all.…

So you're supposed to wait until you're alone with a woman before you sexually assault and/or rape her? That's not an improvement, and doesn't negate that it's still very much so a…

Given that they have unilateral control as to what can be installed on non-jailbroken devices, that's rather a cop-out. Apple does have a complete monopoly on content that can be p…

My only real complaint with Firefox Mobile is that it doesn't play that well with Intent filters like the one the YouTube app uses to catch http://*.youtube.com/* requests. That sa…

According to TFA, you get one NFC card with a pack of plain-paper cards, so that you can give paper to someone without NFC and lend the NFC card to someone with a supporting phone.…

You need more classical resources to model a qubit in generality. This is because a qubit can be in the "0" state, the "1" state, or in any superposition between them. For a single…
