Ahh, it's nice to be home. GM nostr ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿซ‚,

Dear deep state... We are not as dumb as you think... The truth is harder to contain than you would like:

I check the price of Bitcoin like I check the weather. It doesn't really matter, but I like to know what's going on out there โ˜€๏ธ

Gary, I can't see you, can you see me?

I don't really have fuck you money yet (that is to say that my Bitcoin purchasing power hasn't grown high enough to quit my job for example)

BUT

It has significantly lowered my stress levels knowing that we are so fucking early ๐Ÿ™‚

Saw two headlines from legacy media that made it over to nostr one about drones in UK and one about drones in NJ...

If legacy media is talking about it in the midst of their death throws and it could possibly lead to, ya know, more war... Then yea I just assume it's a psyop.

Ok so drones are the next psyop then?

โ€œI see a lot of confusion about Google's Monday press release about quantum supremacy, so let me try to clarify a few things.

They say they did a computation on a ca 100 qubit chip much faster than a conventional (super)computer could do. The particular calculation in question is to produce a random distribution. The result of this calculation has no practical use.

They use this particular problem because it has been formally proven (with some technical caveats) that the calculation is difficult to do on a conventional computer (because it uses a lot of entanglement). That also allows them to say things like "this would have taken a septillion years on a conventional computer" etc.

It's exactly the same calculation that they did in 2019 on a ca 50 qubit chip. In case you didn't follow that, Google's 2019 quantum supremacy claim was questioned by IBM pretty much as soon as the claim was made and a few years later a group said they did it on a conventional computer in a similar time.

So while the announcement is super impressive from a scientific pov and all, the consequences for everyday life are zero. Estimates say that we will need about 1 million qubits for practically useful applications and we're still about 1 million qubits away from that.

Also, it's been a recurring story that we have seen numerous times in the past years, that claims of quantum "utility" or quantum "advantage" or quantum "supremacy" or whatever you want to call it later evaporate because some other group finds a clever way to do it on a conventional computer after all.โ€

Heading down to Fort Lauderdale Florida this morning for a week of meetings with risk, safety and nuclear operations personnel from commercial nuclear power plants around the country.

With Bitcoin at 100k I'll find out how many of them listened to me over the last 4 years... I'm guessing not many.

Happy 100k

You're welcome. ๐Ÿ˜‚

ALL TIME HIGH!

1 BTC = 100M SATS!
