As the article says, the problem was the logic. They had thousands of hours of model checking.

I thinking in the fleeting moments of clarity in between episodes, he really wants that vote back.

No he doesn’t. It was classic McConnell hypocrisy. He will say one thing and do the opposite when it’s for his team.

He’ll vote for Trump’s plans in Congress while pretending to be the reasonable politician to manipulate opinion.

And this time put Joe Biden’s name on the checks.

Zuck is a huge open weights proponent.

No he isn’t. It’s a position he holds for the moment to harm competitors. It allows him to take the work of others for his own profit.

The moment his engineers create a competitive improvement, it will be proprietary.

He had a fake one in his clubs for years.

This is not something you can just simulate on classic hardware while maintaining the O(n) performance of an actual quantum computer.

You can simulate on a classic computer and it’s still faster on a classic computer.

That’s why I made the analog computer analogy. Analog computers were faster than digital for a while.

Just like digital computers had the potential to vastly outperform analog, Quantum has the potential to vastly outperform digital.

That quantum has the potential to be faster than digital isn’t any proof of parallel worlds. It’s the nature of quantum to hold many states which if setup carefully allows parallel computations. Just like it’s the nature of a ball rolling on a disc that can allow it, if setup carefully, to perform integration calculations.

That’s weird. I started Alyx today for the very first time on lower hardware than your current GPU and didn’t get that message. I’m using a mini PC with a 6600m GPU (8 GB) and Quest2 VR goggles on Airlink.

I would guess it’s bad programming where because vram didn’t return say 8, 12, or 16, it shows the error.

Downside to mini PC is very limited storage room in mini PCs for local Plex content. They typically have 1-2 Nvme slots. You can get a 12TB 3.5" for the price of one 4tb.

The ball dropping is computing x^2. You setup the ball at the height you need like setting up the voltages of a set of configured transistors. You could measure the output to get the answer like you measure the output of the transistors.

A ball integrator is computing an integral that required so much computation that missile guidance systems used ball integrators instead of digital computers even in the early 1970’s.

Computers aren’t magic. They are physical machines that require setup to perform a computation and measurement to get the output.

A quantum computer can perform many operations in parallel. That is a feature of QM. Parallel worlds is one of many ideas as to why this is possible. It’s not a theory because it has made no testable predictions. It’s just as valid as claiming, “Angels did it.”

Dropping a ball is not an effective means of computing a square.

I specifically said it wasn’t. But I referenced analog computers which are.

can all simultaneously exist

Again that’s the question of why does QM work the way it does which started 99+ years ago.

you don’t understand anything about the claims being made.

Stop with the insults. You aren’t even reading.

Setting up a rolling ball at a particular height to calculate a square is performing a computation in the same way setting up the voltages on a set of transistors that you preconfigured to give you the square of the inputs.

Without measurement, you don’t get the results of the ball rolling or the transistors. Reading the output of the transistors is the measurement of a physical system.

very meaningful advancement in technology

I didn’t criticize the technology at all!

It was 99+ years ago that Quantum Mechanics resulted in all manner of explanations for why QM is the way it is. This new chip does not change any of that. It is a technological advancement, not science or philosophy.

If you didn’t already know that was the way to set the station you’d get a scolding from your parent. “Stop messing with it or you will break it!”

Elon Musk and his cronies aren’t geniuses but they aren’t stupid.

They aren’t stupid. They are hypocritical liars who say whatever they need at the moment to justify their actions.

In 4 years, if we are allowed to have an election where a Democrat can win, they will immediately flip again.

That a natural phenomenon occurs with precision that would require enormous computation to simulate isn’t proof of parallel universes.

EVERYTHING IN THE NATURAL WORLD IS THAT WAY!

Roll a ball down an inclined plane and measure the time to attoseconds. Now try and simulate the exact results. Friction and air resistance for that level of accuracy make it a computationally enormous problem.

OMG a rolling ball is evidence of parallel worlds!

For the downvoters analog computers were a thing. For my particular rolling ball example, while never used in practice, it’s a squaring calculator. You can program logic gates to calculate X^2 or roll a ball down an inclined plane and measure the result.

A quantum computer maintains several states simultaneously allowing for parallel computations faster than simulation with digital circuits. It’s the in nature of quantum states that allows parallel computations just like the nature of a rolling ball can calculate a square.

As the owner of various cats over 50 years it does nothing to adult cats. It will hurt an adult cat because their weight is too much for the skin to hold. As a kid I tried it many times because I heard the myth and it only made my cat more angry.

I don’t believe kittens are affected other than being physically unable to do anything. Sort of like if you were put in a half-Nelson hold. You wouldn’t be catatonic, just unable to fight back.

How did you know without the manual? I used to read the manual cover to cover many times because what else are you going to do on a car ride?

You don’t need an online manual when there’s an in glovebox manual.
