    Comcast customers are to stupid to browse the internet on their own.

  2. Re: Several decades? on Google Unveils 72-Qubit Quantum Computer With Low Error Rates (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 1

    qubit errors are normally distributed afaik.
    obviously the distribution of the result is how those distributions combine.
    Still just expensive random number generators, which, imho is gibberish to even call âcomputersâ(TM), they are so far from turing complete they wouldnâ(TM)t even count as a co processor from the 90s.
    very high bandwidth HWRNG is useful tho, just not for anything they are claiming.

    that isnâ(TM)t how it works afaik.
    these processors are probabilistic, âoe1% errorâ means they have a 1% standard deviation around the correct answer. They never give you the correct answer, but generate enough answers and you can imply the correct one.

    Depending on who you ask, you also have to multiply that error by the number of qubits being used to get the actual sd of your result.

    They are basically really expensive hardware random number generators with programable bias.

    easier fix is just not post anything on slashdot in the first place, and if you do keep it to no more than one line.

    owning rights to access content through one channel doesnt give you rights to access it through another. just because you pay for HBO satelite doesnt infer any right to use a kodi box to watch hbo shows, and hbo isnt targetting hbo users when it changes the encryption it uses therefore blocking the kodi box.

    firstly a disclaimer:google and amazon suck hairy goats balls, you get everything you deserve if you give either of them content or money.

    That said. This whole concept of google going after "end users" seems like tripe to me. I dont see any world where blocking access to the pirated content amazon was selling users is anything anyone can legitimately level any valid criticism towards google, whatever their reasons for prioritising blocking that particular piece of pirate software.
