It's when I can't see the scrollbar move in VS Code when I scroll.

Read your newsletter this morning and so appreciate everything about it. Technologists who care about actually improving the lives of others cannot continue to play agnostic and ignore what is happening in this country.

I found an actual TED talk better explaining the differences than I could.

yes, that's true, but you're still thinking in terms of 1/0s.....black and white....correct and incorrect. the difference between binary and qubit processing is not a simple linear comparison of CPU cycles, but more of a fundamental change in what computers will be capable of in the future.

out of curiosty, is this projection proportionally accurate for land masses?

thanks for coming to my ted talk 🤓

because the hardware limitations of binary computers are not only computational capacities (binary vs. qubit), but space and energy requirements. an an example, a quantum system with 400 qubits can represent more information than numbers of atoms in the visible universe.

as for modeling....quantum will allow us to develop "models" (or accurate computational representations) of highly complex systems (such as disease or the climate) in order to produce viable solutions.

it's like going from black & white to having every color in the rainbow......and not just the human rainbow, but the fancy shrimp one

but quantum is truly a seismic breakthrough in computing, in that our current microprocessors are based on binary evaluation (1 vs. 0), while quantum computers use qubits for processing, whose evaluative powers use coherent superpositions to predict probability.

and evaluating the hype bubble with every new technology is exhausting....

well, to be fair, i share your overall skepticism of the tech industry as a whole. silicon valley has a terrible track record of cosplaying as this shining beacon for innovation and progress, while in reality, it's motives are more closely aligned with ego, greed & capitalism at its worst...

i mean.....in some ways i'm glad jordan peterson exists because the ratio of terrible americans to terrible canadians is way out of proportion, but in many other ways......no thank you

love to see my governor represent

and i can't help but add....the history of Italy and Rome in particular is so pivotal to western culture, perhaps a less eye-roll-inducing question might have been: name your *favorite* famous Italian?
