  1. Re:Translation-Re:How quantum computers... on Google Has Enlisted NASA To Help it Prove Quantum Supremacy Within Months (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually his explanation is 100% correct. Quantum computing is only useful for a vanishgly small set of problems. The fact that they threw in "AI" in there shows it is a hoax. How would quantum computers "help AI"?

  2. Maybe they can get the same NASA people that validated that the EMDrive worked.

  3. Re:Subways on Elon Musk Shows Off The Boring Company's LA Tunnel (theverge.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    You don't understand. The purpose of this is to extract public money from stupid local governments, not to solve a problem. The entire idea of putting a tunnel with small electric skates that hold small amounts of people is really really stupid. But Musk is good at selling stuff to stupid people at a premium.

    They should add a track to it and put connected vehicles on them. The vehicles could be powered by electricity and people could ride inside the vehicles.

    Yeah, but Miami is in Florida.

    Obviously.

    I do. Why? You haven't been to DC lately I guess...

  8. If you liked "Spiderman" you will probably like "Spiderman 2" or any of the awful super hero movies that have been out in the last 10 years. Genius.

    Not sure what you are talking about. The cities are falling over themselves to get Amazon. Also, this isn't in DC, but a close suburb in Virginia. DC had its own bid.

    The median house price in DC is $550,000. So I don't think DC is the place you think it is.

  11. I wish they had mentioned that in the story summary. Good tip.

  12. Re: Exactly on How New, Polite Linus Torvalds Points Out Bad Kernel Code (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    That isn't a minor mistake. If Linus had missed it in his review then it could have affected the stability of billions of installs of Linux because it was enabled by default. That is the problem with people like you: you don't want to accept responsibility and your mistakes and you want someone to "save" you and be nice to boot. Next time, review the code line by line before submitting it. Also, the developer probably enabled it by default intentionally, because most coders think their stuff is super important.

  13. The people that believe these kinds of things aren't the most logical/rational people.

  14. The only thing keeping me from putting all my money into Ethereum is Vitalik Buterin. He needs to chill out.

    SpaceX doesn't have these problems because they don't use pins.

    I suggested they reverse the neutron flow. But I will send them your suggestion as well.

    My first computer only had 64k memory and my current one has 16GB. Cellphones used to be lugged around in cases, now they can fit on my wrist. People used to say humans can't fly. Therefore we will get the probe within 50 years.

    Yeah, what would happen if someone couldn't reach you for support? The world would explode immediately.

    That isn't true. They are just a bunch of altruistic guys that like to program stuff.

    The human brain works nothing like a computer "neural network". The very fact that people call them "neural networks" is fraudulent.

    We aren't Luddites. We are people that actually understand technology and aren't just in IT.

    That is baloney. The Go/Chess/whatever playing computers didn't "start from nothing". They were PROGRAMMED to understand the game. The rest is marketing BS. They didn't just put the computer down and show it a bunch of Go games and it suddenly understood what Go was. Ridiculous. Computers are good at games with strict rules. We all know that. That is what computers are BEST at. You guys are just easily impressed and don't really understand technology.

    None of those things are being realized. Quantum computers for example are a sham. You just believe marketing hype.

    That isn't true. For example, farmland isn't fruitful soil. It is a desert enhanced by fertilizers. If you abandoned it, the soil would blow away quickly.

  25. It is kind of like Elon Musk claiming that he is "green" but he has a 30,000 sqft house in California and several vacation homes and several private jets. Pathetic.
