Damn honestly that looks pretty good right now.

But always number one in my heart.

The things about quantum computers is they are really, really powerful at a some kinds of things, some of the time. Maybe even most of the time.

Binary computers are okay at one thing, but it does that one thing exactly every time. If it ever makes a mistake then entire thing might crash.

The problem is a quantum computer is so different from normal computers you have to start over from the beginning of the tech stack. Even if you get it working reliability (which is hard to do), how does it help you? You can do some crazy math, but it can’t run an operating system. It doesn’t have a bios. There are no drivers that speak some percentage of up spin vs down spin. There isn’t a standard assembly language. There isn’t a standard anything. It’s like how computers were in the 40s.

I think quantum computers are very interesting and might help in very specific applications, and I mean like custom made math heavy applications that only run on that one machine you built it for kind of specific.

Can that change the world? Maybe. But it will take time. No one wants to talk about it because it’s a hard problem that is still years away from doing much to impact peoples lives. Better to talk about ai slop, that gets clicks because you can see it and touch it right now.

Yeah we tried that also https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_cheese

At first I was like, Get right fucked… Then I thought… Actually. I do think about death a lot. Its starting to sound nice at this point. Fair play.

Sir Chad carries a twelve pounder hand cannon, and when he ignites the powder the ball sails true into the main deck of the pirate, but the recoil capsizes his vessel.

Stupid sexy Flanders.

I wish I could show this comment to people who built a multi million dollar project for the government using just these kinds of tools. But maybe you can only get away with that kind of thing in government contracting work lol

That’s what I said when I joined a place that wrote almost everything in blueprints. Somehow all the other devs didn’t think it was possible.

It’s code, but without automated tests, comments, style rules, and often stored in binary files making change management a nightmare.

It’s trying to paint but you can only use your fingers and also one of the other devs ate all the red.
