There are basically three camps, as I understand it, who all agree this is impossible.

1. Gil Kalai and friends who buy QM but says there is "correlated-noise" that will limit scale even with perfect engineering

2. Roger Penrose and friends who don't buy QM as it stands but have another model and would say there is "self-decoherence" because of gravity and such

3. The aristotelian/common sense camp (which I agree with) that says that quantum weirdness is a total misunderstanding because materialists are looking at the world upside down

Whoever has the right model, there are more people than you might think who agree it's obviously not physically possible. That doesn't mean we dont think the eimnginers are good enough. It means it is not possible because reality has rules and those rules called physics make it fundamentally totally impossible.

I think from a non-insane point of view, as things get bigger you end up with a normal universe and not a quantum weird universe. Have you ever violated the principle of non-contradiction in real life? Have you ever known a cat that was both alive and dead?

Whatever the details are, the result is the same. If you are a "Believe the Science" type, rather than a common sense person, I suggest Gil Kalai. They've been running these experiments for a long time and never proven his math or his point wrong this whole time. I am pretty sure a lot of the researchers secretly think he is probably right by now, but what are they going to do?

I don't want to burn any coins either, though I have not looked hard enough at The Cat yet to decide if I think it is valid to kill the spam and dust. I do not agree with supporting non-menetary abuses of the network. So maybe that makes sense but I I'm not taking a hard position right now and I'm not focused on that and haven't dug in enough.

What I do care about is that doing anything about QC right now is objectively very destructive to Bitcoin and freedom tech in general. ECC is our best weapon and we shouldn't give it up based on an an unfalsifiable and unoroven belief that QC is even possible, much less eminent.

If they crack a key with shor we will have plenty of time to deal with it before it becomes and economically viable threat. Which will never happen anyway. So let's shut this FUD attack down for now. There are a lot of bad incentives for promoting this scare and it is all bullshit.

You’re not wrong but software engineers don’t have the sensibilities required to properly frame this technological timeline.

“My girlfriend isn’t hungry”

Brilliant 🤣

Just get some more penny supplies down at the store?!

Penny struggles are real

Strong hunch

The best investment opportunities of the next decade require a blend of hardware and software

The natural properties of physical reality embedded in hardware propositions

Overlaid by the compounding deflation of software technology

If you don’t have a hardware component to your business, then you’re only angles to compete are UX and brand

So the best way to generate defensible positions as a business is with hardware involved

We should crack down on the government

The entire tech is moving toward a situation where you can replicate and fix it only inside an industrial environment cutting out essentially everybody else. Go analog electronics and mechanics. Reject digital.

I’ll read it when I get a few moments, but seeing your other post where you quote the historical perspective (being concealed carry was not protected under the constitution if I read it right) doesn’t that weaken the argument for concealed carry as a part of the 2A? I know I need to read the opinion before forming one of my own, but the 2A should be to any possession, concealed or not, regardless of others’ opinion of the visibility.

Anyway, this is the last ill post here until I read it.

She is so sorry for turning NZ into an open air prison, the clot shot mandates and the numerous lives that were destroyed because she was on a power trip.

Its hard to get 5 people to agree on a restaurant for dinner, so I'm not so sure.

Good Morning , ☀️

Good morning, and Happy Saturday Nostriches. What are we doing today?

Decided to setup my kiddo with a bitcoin wallet and start accumulating sats. Haven't been so sure about a decision. Anyone have any great resources for kids?
