I'm often asked if I'll redo the 2019 quantum factoring estimate. Denser storage by yokes, smaller magic factories by cultivation, slimmer approx arithmetic by Chevignard et al… surely the cost is lower now?
Yes, it's lower now.

Mike finally paid for the "pro" version of sketchup, so we owned the 3d models attached to the paper, meaning the yoked surface codes paper is now published! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
The message of this paper is: anytime someone says they're 10x better than surface codes, actually it's 4x.
