Good. Seems privacy rape (and other rape, including children) is something the current US administration will continue to use as its selling points though.

My rule is to never gamble with anything I cannot easily afford to lose.

Thank you.

That is certainly true. Humans are really good at sabotage all forms of IT security, both by incompetence and by intent.

Well, in that case, factorize something larger than 35. I dare you.

That only seems to you because you are clueless. Renewables are fine, but they do not remove the need for solid grid engineering. And whenever something gets changed larger-scale, some incompetents that could deal with the steady-state but not with changes get exposed. That is what happened here. In more than one sense.

Indeed. This was pure gross incompetence. And the spin tried is very close to being misinformation and may even be over the line.

Researchers in China have claimed lots of things. And 50 bit would still be within other approaches than an actual general implementation of Shor's Algorithm. Oh, and look, they used a D-Wave. That is not a QC at all. It is a very restricted Quantum annealing device and it does NOT scale for factorization.

I have been following this tech for about 35 years now. Research into qbits and quantum gates was well established at that time. The 50 year claim is accurate and the dumb one here is you.

That bad? I though this were at least 6 bit general factorization implementations. So even worse than Shor's Algorithm implemented for 6 bits. Speaking of any "threats" from this tech or expecting it to matter anytime soon is insane.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Indeed. But even Nvidia is running a high risk, because they could/will lose tons of investments when the bubble bursts. Their survival seems likely but is not assured.

Why are people falling for this nonsense? After half a century of research the quantum factorization record is currently 35. Not 35 bit, 35, i.e. 6 bit. That is utterly pathetic and not likely to change anytime soon. For all practical purposes, QCs do not exist.

Seriously.

That too.

Thanks for confirming my analysis.

It actually just needs solid engineering as a fix. This was a management problem and maybe engineering failure. It could have been done right and would have been clear how to do so. My guess is greed and political pressure are ultimately to blame.
