Our president and his cabinet are heavily dependent on AI as well. I'm fairly sure they're all lost in AI delusions as well

I looked through the paper. It seems like they haven't run this on a real quantum computer.
The preparation of the state | by the referee is computationally more expensive as it requires the implementation of pseudorandom permutations. As a near-term toy example, one could implement permutations using the Simplified Advanced Encryption Standard (S-AES) protocol. S-AES uses a block size of 16 bits (as opposed to 128 bits for AES) and a key size of 16 bits as well (128, 192 or 256 for AES). A system size of 16 can display features of quantum advantage: from Theorem 1 with, e.g., =216, =215 and =1/6, any classical algorithm solving complement sampling requires 214 =16384 distinct samples. A quantum circuit implementation of S-AES based on [45] requires only 48 qubits, 168 Toffoli gates, 364 controlled not gates, and 75 not gates.
Why didn't they take the next step and run their algorithm?

The interesting thing will be what we accomplish with all the compute added once the bubble bursts. Protein folding and biotech in general could see ultra cheap compute, which could lead to some major breakthroughs.

What was the America that you don't hate? I struggle to find a time period where America wasn't engaged in one form of genocide, land and resource theft, or another(e.g. slavery, Jim Crow, genocide of Native Americans, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Operation Condor, Monroe Doctrine, Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Philippines, Samoa, militarization of the police since Clinton, Yugoslavia, etc...). I would love for someone to find just one year, or even one day, where America lived up to its mythological ideals while not doing something horrific to some group of people.

If this goes anything like the hyperloop he'll be building a bunker on Earth soon. I'm guessing an underwater hotel or a mountain bunker, either will somehow be revolutionary.

I don't get what you're implying here. Just like any other county, China found niches it could compete in and pursued it. The U.S. could have subsidized domestic rate earth producers if it had the foresight to understand that they're a strategic necessity.

China has pleaded with the U.S. to not do a trade war or Cold War. They are simply doing export controls to ensure the resources don't go into weapons that will be pointed back at China. Americans think they should have the right to everyone's resources and will turn around and attack a country with those same resources to steal more.

This is politically good for the politician, good for his donors invested in AI, and costs him nothing. Right now, workers have leverage to slow or stop AI development. If AI does destroy all the jobs then workers won't have any leverage. Without leverage there won't be UBI. Thus, this is a bait and switch. They're insinuating to workers that they won't have to worry about the future if they just stay calm and let their jobs get destroyed.

What about the residents that bring value to the businesses? I wouldn't visit SF to go to a shopping mall or an empty restaurant, but I'll go to hang out with people from SF at bars, restaurants and coffee shops. Coffee shops and bars are cool because the workers there are cool and lend their aura to the owner. This is kind of the ultimate in unidirectional profit stealing. "Give me the profits from your house because of my proximity to your house."
Comment No software is free (Score 2) 205
Even open source software costs something, a person's life spent to create it. The only way to have a just system with truly free software is to collectively pay developers to produce the software we want. Otherwise, you're just asking for free labor. Politically and economically, and as a software developer, I totally support a global effort to pay software developers to make the software everyone needs. Realistically, under the current economic mode of production, that means not all software is going to be free.
