I wonder what's really easier, though. I usually hang TVs with 4-6 screws. Is it easier to put in 4-6 screws, or 100 staples?

I guess the advantage of staples is that each staple is easier, and it doesn't require juggling a screwdriver, swapping bits, ect.

Zero cost refers to the cost when no exception is thrown, not the overhead of exceptions. It may be more expensive throwing an exception under "zero cost" exception model, as throwing an exception may require parsing some data in the executable.

You're completely right that messaging clients is regional, but it's even more regional than just "Europe". I'm always confused when people claim that WhatsApp is huge in Europe, because I know literally only two people who use it. They only use WhatsApp because they have friends outside Europe.

I think we need to think in terms of single countries when talking messaging apps. Again take WhatsApp. Pretty big in Germany and Spain, but almost non-existing in Denmark (who instead rely more on Facebook Messenger or iMessage).

You don't need a monte carlo simulation if you have a known distribution. You can just add the means and variances and solve the equation rather than approximating it with a simulation. Monte carlo is more useful when drawing from an unknown distribution.
My opinion is not informed, but from my point of view the opposite is true. It's been 10 years since the first specs and silicon, according to https://riscv.org/about/history/. And it seems that one has to go way out of their way to find RISC-V systems in the wild.

> But they don't think about what happens when two people try to make changes in parallel, because the whole point of ACID is that each query runs in its own transaction.

You do know that the D in ACID stands for consistency? That is in case a transaction try to modify something that was already changed in a parallel transaction that was already committed, it will fail and will be rolled back (given proper transaction levels).

So I really don’t understand your point. Also, you can hold a transaction open for a client..
> Anyone familiar with the term? Haven't heard it before.

Full-stack probably means they deal with all areas of QC, from theoretical research to hardware implementation.

> I thought quantum computing was still in the research phase? What's there to scale?

IMO it is still largely in the research phase, but actual quantum computers do exist. The thing to scale would be the number of physical and logical (error-corrected) qubits. Quantum error correction is difficult though, and will take a lot of work to get scalable QCs with error correction. With some of the current schemes being pursued today, the number of physical qubits per logical qubit is quite high (e.g. 17 physical per one logical in Surface-17).

> Rigetti expects to scale its quantum computers from 80 qubits in 2021, to 1,000 qubits in 2024, and to 4,000 qubits in 2026.

Is that realistic at all? From what I've read on the subject, everyone seems to have trouble scaling up.
Permutive (YC S14) | Scala Engineer x5 | REMOTE (UK) | Full-time | £80k-£120k

Permutive’s privacy-safe infrastructure helps publishers and advertisers reach full audiences safely and in-the-moment, and keep control of their first-party data. It’s fundamentally fast, purpose-built with edge technology to deliver the best of privacy and performance.

Everything we build has to scale: our platform handles more requests each day than there are new tweets and Google searches, and each month we see more than a billion users. We think applying functional programming techniques like compositionality and type-safety is the best way to build the type of massive distributed system our platform comprises, allowing us to move fast without sacrificing quality.

If you want to discuss compilers, why did you click on this thread?
"Full-stack" is not an official term, but it is a reasonable way to refer to "working on both creating the low level hardware (e.g. transmons), the intermediate layer (error correction that makes the many physical qubits into a few reliable logical qubits), and the higher levels of algorithms for useful applications".

There is no "scalable" quantum computer in existence yet. If we can make a million qubits of quality 10x better than the ones we have now, then we will definitely be able to talk about scaling and useful applications. Today we have machines with 10s to 100s of qubits that are extremely exciting technology demonstrators, but too small and too noisy to fulfill any of the promises of quantum computing from the 90s and 00s.
It's always worth thinking about what could have been done better by everyone involved, including victims.

I don't get this insatiable drive some people have for passing judgement. God forbid if we try to actually understand situations, how they happen, how they could be prevented, etc. instead of merely angrily shouting "IT'S BAD!"

9 times out of 10 I see "victim blaming" being used it's some holier-than-thou moral superiority stuff. I'm not interested in moral judgements, I'm interested in understanding problems and seeing how we can prevent them from happening again. I don't care about any moral judgement good or bad in these types of discussions; that doesn't mean I don't have one, but I see no value in sharing it here.

> Quantum computing may not be all it's cracked up to be , but i 'm ok with some smart people becoming newly minted millionaires by investors with excess wealth.

Unfortunately, SPACs are mostly a way for those with "excess wealth" (the investor class) to leech off of mom and pops (retail investors).

The sponsors basically get interest free loans to seek out acquisitions of companies that in most cases wouldn't be public markets material and when they consummate a merger, they can walk away with millions upon millions of dollars in fees even if the SPAC performs horribly. When a SPAC performs well, their profits are almost always massively disproportionate to the money they invested and risk they took.

Fortunately in this case, even if quantum computing might not be all it's cracked up to be, Rigetti is a "full-stack" quantum computing company, so it's an amazing opportunity. /s

I would be very careful about using ANC in such a noisy environment, though. It isn't necessarily eliminating the pressure waves that can cause hearing damage; depending some variables it may just be making them less perceptible to you. Which could then be making the noise more dangerous, since you're less able to judge whether it's at an acceptable level or not.

For a noisy work environment like that, I would strongly recommend you get real hearing protection with built-in headphones. I suggested Etymotic in-ear headphones elsewhere, but there are also ones that are based on over-the-ear hearing protection like is more commonly used on construction sites.

> Here's a simple question that should be answerable in any approach to org design. What's the optimal span of control for management at each level in the organizational hierarchy? If you can't answer this question, you can't "design" an organization.

Of course you can design an organization without knowing the optimal span of control at each level, just as you can design a logo without math and scientific models. The answer anyway will just be 'it depends, and span of control varies not only between different businesses but also different roles and even different individuals'.

Lots of design is done via intuition and experience rather than concrete engineering anyway, and OD is clearly an area where it is more about understanding the goals of an organisation and building a people strategy around it rather than perfect mathematical optimality.
