Yes, that's a lot considering that large systems today have in the order of 100-1000 qubits. Mind you, the systems currently saying that are larger than 100 qubits are debated if they really are quantum computers in the broadest sense, or a subset (consensus is they are a subset of quantum computers, and not full fledged). So the largest, "really quantum computers" are in the order of ~100 qubits.

Edit: for context, I'm referring to D-Wave, that some years ago said they had broken the 1000-qubit mark, but their systems aren't generic quantum computers, but rather computers tham implement quantum annealing.

https://covidestim.org/us has estimates on the percentage of people ever infected by state. I looked at MA, NY, and CA, and they all hover around 80% (with error bars). I can't find a cumulative US estimate.

Can someone give a quick rundown on why quantum computers so far only have small numbers of qubits? I remember reading something about errors creeping in somehow, and it's hard to build a large system, but don't really understand why.

Where is the anger directed, exactly? On r/nursing, the general consensus is that practically nobody who's vaccinated and boosted is actually dying, unless they have a lot of other stuff going on: https://www.reddit.com/r/nursing/comments/s5p4g1/how_many_fu...

It seems disingenuous to call the vaccine a "damn joke".
I was trying to recreate the in person white boarding experience, but that probably isn't the move here since the candidates are having a ton of trouble writing legibly, making the coding portion almost useless for the video. I can't read it myself even when I'm in the environment.

It's not the fact that it's red tribe coded, it's the fact that the arguments against these things started from very stupid places.

Mask and vaccine resistance is stupid tribe coded, even if now there might be some valid reasons for talking about it. Stupid tribe and red tribe do happen to overlap, but it's the stupid part that upsets people so universally, not the red part.

Also, HIV is not even remotely as contagious as SARS-CoV-2, so it's not really a fair comparison. We absolutely would have shut down whatever we needed to if HIV were airborne.

It's not obvious to me.

As an example, lets say hospitals have a capacity of 100, 40 of the capacity is generally taken up by non-lifestyle factors, 40 is taken up by various lifestyle factors (things that could have reasonably been avoided from a better diet, exercise, or otherwise), and the remainder is left as buffer. Now, lets say covid takes up 25 capacity, which now overflows hospitals by demanding 105 capacity. Why is this new lifestyle factor (not getting a vaccine) obviously worse than the previously accepted and accounted for lifestyle factors?

Is it the ease of avoidance? 3 jabs and you're done? If so, what about the injuries we accept that could be avoided entirely through inaction (sports, motorcycles, whatever)?

Is it the magnitude? Looking at covid as a single factor, it could be argued that it has far greater impact than any other individual lifestyle factor. but that information sure hasn't come up in any discussion I've seen. It's always left as an exercise for the reader.

Is it the suddenness? Covid sure has been a shock to the system that it was unprepared for, but that's only true through the lens of comparing pre-pandemic to current moment. Looking at the current state, it's no longer sudden. The existence of covid is now known, and so is hospitalization needs. Now it's just a question of capacity, not suddenness.

I'm not saying the point can't be argued, but it's certainly not obvious to me. And if every discussion is left as "it's obvious, why can't you see it", the discussion won't go anywhere.

Bias, eh?

While I do enjoy discussing cryptocurrencies a great deal because I find the tech. and its implications deeply fascinating, I certainly do no buy most of what folks in the space peddle out, nor am I religious about it, unlike the OP.

What I enjoy most is a well constructed argument against crypto, but unfortunately, those have been few and far between on HN in the past few years.

To give you an example, "just dumb as hell" (from the OP), doesn't fall in the "well constructed argument" bucket.

And unlike the do-gooder out to save the world in the 'attack of the 50 foot blockchain blog', or other kind of jihadists like Diehl, I'm not a crypto bible-thumper out to convert the infidels.

In short, I find crypto interesting and worth looking into, learning about, improving upon (the existing systems being indeed far from perfect).

If you want to label that bias, more power to you, but please don't compare me to the fanatic-on-a- mission-from-god who wrote the OP.

For enough money, they might. If I'm not mistaken, the "community treasury" has 50% of all ENS. This comes to 0.5 * 100MM = 50MM ENS. At current exchange rates (assuming no slippage), that comes to $17.92 * 50,000,000 = $896,000,000.

I'm assuming ICANN approved all this gTLD nonsense because they like the money. This naturally raises the question: how much money would they need to approve this? And is it more or less than $0.9 billion dollars?

There's also a ton of leftover supply of these things, and they have built in power backups, networking, and often lots of shared platform parts (ie, target just one snapdragon based platform and get a swath of compatibility in the galaxy s3 era or whatever).

> it helps if they're actually credible

In some societies, "ability and availability to install mobile applications" is now taken for granted. This comes from the fact that in some societies the vast majority of the members take sheepish "what others do must be right" behaviour as granted. Those mentalities are enablers for regulations that may claim to mirror alleged "de facto" situations - making relevant prospects credible.

Surely many state supported sacrifices to privacy of the recent times (in some regions) were "supported" with "Don't they have FB anyway?" (thing is, of course, no they don't - a few would never).

> projecting and extrapolating from recent historical events

When some of the «recent historical events» come in "support" of already established desiderata of some parts (say, cashless society - to be intended as option dropping), creating an acceleration towards said trends, then they get relevant.

So you want "freedom fighter" (whatever you consider that to be) to sign their death warrant? How are you going to keep them out of the hospital? I'd happily sign a death warrant today if it means the end of this tired argument of people complaining that people seek healthcare when they are ill.

>If the health system becomes incapacitated

If the health care system isn't working, then we need to look at expanding healthcare; perhaps by eliminating a lot of the regulations that drag it down. You don't have the right to force someone to make sure there are beds at a hospital. I don't think the answer is compelling non-consensual activity in private business such as masks.

------------------

>It's not that they "seek healthcare". But that they expect to have critical resources like ICU beds available to them (and therefore, denied to others) so they can enjoy their "freedom" (to ignore common sense) -- that folks take issue with.

You're seriously complaining that when someone seeks healthcare they are using a bed? You know how many people using beds are there for non-essential activities (motorcycling, roofing a non-essential shed, snake bite because they went hiking, whatever). Should we outlaw any non-essential activity that could send you to the ED?

It's 'common sense' to me that my (almost) 2 year old's speech development will be harmed if she can't see me speak (and at least one initial study suggests that is correct), so I don't wear a mask anywhere when she's with me nor do I enter establishments that require me to. Maybe that makes me a 'freedom fighter' for my kid's development.

The problem with pinyin is that it's phonetic based and it's based on Mandarin. For large sub-populations of Chinese speakers who primarily use other dialects, it's not as intuitive -- although this is changing overtime as Mandarin becomes more dominant across China. A stroke/character based system preserves a key characteristic of Chinese, which is that speakers of different Chinese dialects can all use the same writing system. However, I think Pinyin is easier for Mandarin speakers (in PRC at least) and also non-native Chinese speakers who likely come from a phonetic based writing system and have learned Mandarin using Pinyin.

From my previous comment:

I never said "unvaccinated, unmasked spreader". You're putting words into my mouth to fit your argument. The narcissism comes from "the imposition of public health requirements", to believe one knows "better for another than he knows for himself".

Maybe I don't understand crypto well enough, but since everything is in a public ledger, can't 'everyone' just decide to go on a hard fork right before the moment the bad actor took control, thus de facto invalidating all transactions after that point?
If that is true, in a way the power over a crypto resides in wherever (rather, whatever fork) the majority of users believes it resides.

Before you get too excited, it's important to remember that existing qubit implementations do not achieve a physical gate error rate of 10^-3 (best right now is more like 10^-2).

> It's possible that authoritarian regimes are very efficient and will somehow force companies to build insecure systems that can be abused

The genie is out of the bottle. Issuing an edict to "do things like you did them in 2022" doesn't exactly require genius-level administrative talent...

It's also a bit presumptuous to assume that a future authoritarian regime wouldn't have expert technologists at their disposal... why do you make this assumption? Technologists are just people; a few will be partisans and many more will go along to get along. (To wit: how many of your colleagues at Johns Hopkins who have personal issues with the defense industry don't take boatloads of $$$ from DoD? Or at very least submit to NSF CFPs that are transparently adjacent to concurrently running DARPA programs? Ditto for colleagues who have beef with the tech industry?)

> and force consumers to adopt them at Google scale.

No forcing of consumers required. Just point a gun at whoever has market power and tell them to do things like they were done in 2022. After all, we are talking about an authoritarian regime.

You make a reasonable case for deleting existing troves of data, and a good counter-factual case for never developing smartphones in the first place. But, again, the genie is out of the bottle.

Annoyances 1 and 7, at least, can be solved by disabling the automatic switching logic. When connected to the AirPods, under Bluetooth -> (AirPods name) -> Connect to this {iPhone/iPad/Mac}, select "When Last Connected" instead of "Automatically". Repeat for each Apple device.

It's a simpler mental model and it works way more reliably. No more weird handoff prompts and no unexpected switching. Yes, you have to select the device manually, but that takes just seconds from the control center or audio output menu.

I definitely agree with some of the other annoyances, although my AirPods have been generally very reliable (and much more so than my other set of wireless buds!). The weirdest one to me is that Apple is still using the crappy HFP profile for bidirectional audio, leading to annoyance #3; I'm surprised Apple hasn't just engineered their own bidirectional audio profile, because the sound quality drop is so noticeable that it's laughable.

Pinyin is really peculiar. It makes it so much easier to learn to outsiders.

I know some overseas Chinese people who (not being raised in China) never learned pinyin and prefer the stroke method. Some of the even prefer drawing the strokes by hand (instead of choosing from the keyboard).

Any Chinese word, I've ever learned, I can only input using pinyin. The stroke method adds so much more mental overhead.

I did verify that you found the "harder" treasure, but I am not sure this is a good example of zero knowledge proof. The author claims that

> you can Download the JSON Proof file, and share that publicly. It does not reveal any information of the coordinates you discovered.

But it is not at all clear that the proof does not reveal any information of the coordinates you discovered.

Similarly, it is also unclear that the JSON actually proves that you found the treasure. For example, there could be a specific string in the JSON that the program is checking

It is a cool example of coding, but not of zero knowledge proof in my opinion
