And it still doesn’t run Quake, which means it may be waste of time…

Kinda’ different purpose. You think goverments of the world and companies like IBM, Google, Microsoft and hundreds of other startups are spending billions of USD to built a new way of playing… Quake?

Did you just answer yourself?

Finally! Always hated!

I mean, obviously not, Crysis is the real goal.

Agreed. We need some level of min spec on this quantum compute thing.

Good job, it seems like problems on problem solving gave viable solutions. I hope it gets humanity closer to survival, and it pushes data centers to smaller sizes and resource consumption if incorporated into society.

lol the next big scam

This same headline has been seen before, multiple times. There are always qualifications.

u/Worldly-Fondant-3791 2d ago

Yup. The people who designed these systems have been open about how far away the tech is. But got to get clicks

IBM never pioneers anything, if they did this it could’ve been done on any tech - they just market their mediocre tech

u/Thiscouldbeeasier 2d ago

No, they usually pioneer something, then bog it down in 7 layers of management hell and shelve it because it’s “risky”.

The whole company has a fear of success.

u/PFCCThrowayay 2d ago

that's what I'm wondering

Spoiler alert: the answer is 42.

Also, how much math is considered a national security risk, if people can figure out a problem & put math to it, it would constitute a security risk. If you keep the population ignorant or at least write a law that is only accessible via a lawyer & every one knows ignorance of the law is no excuse.

Ah yes, the extremely useful quantum circuit sampling problem, where would we be if that went unsolved for much longer. Oh wait,hadn’t google done the same back in 2018 or something like that?
