the sad fact about quantum computers is that they're a game-changer but are going to be so expensive that only huge corporations and governments can afford to use them moore's law does not apply to quantum computing

Can a regular computer confirm the quantum computer's results or did they just build something that they have no idea if it worked or not?

a lot of those Big Computing Issues are hard to solve/easy to verify, yeah. it's how cryptography even works.

If it’s breaking public/private key encryption, its hard to do without the private key, but trivial to verify if you do have the private key.

SwissArmyDruid posted:No, they've brought back word processors. Typewriters are way better. Absolute tanks of beautiful machinery that’ll outlive you and your kids with minimal upkeep, physical engagement in the act of writing, and you create an object, a stack is paper, something real instead of a bunch of digital ephemera. They’re more high effort but higher reward, and they are themselves better made objects than about anything being made today. They work with no power, and an ink ribbon will probably outlast any piece of electronics you own. We’re gonna be writing our novels in the wasteland on old Smith-Coronas. Nobody gives a poo poo about word processors, but typewriters still provide something no other digitized writing machine can. Plus they’re cheap and fun to collect.

actually it will turn out AIs can only be "budded" off of extant minds and you have to hook up a ton of probes and poo poo to a human brain. Also the AIs are dumbasses like us.

Goa Tse-tung posted:enderjaca /legaladvice mods are almost entirely cops or former cops (seriously, literally cops, not just insulting them). they quickly delete any posts that suggest going to the media, any posts that link to news stories of illegal police actions, and any posts that point out that the cops are bastards who have fun loving with people. if you change the ‘r’ in reddit links to ‘c’, a lot of the deleted posts show up, try it to get nice and angry!

They absolutely have access to experimental technologies that are completely unique and off the books. Most of them will never see the light of day because they only get additional funding if they can show 10x returns on investment or better.

Oh here's one: In 2014, pursuant to an agreement between Mastercard and the Nigerian Government, acting through the National Identity Management Commission, the new Nigerian ID cards will bear the Mastercard logo, contain personal database data and double as payment cards, irrevocably linking such payments to the individuals, sparking criticism by the Civil Rights Congress alleging that it "represents a stamped ownership of a Nigerian by an American company ... reminiscent of the logo pasted on the bodies of African slaves transported across the Atlantic." Here's what your ID card looks like in Nigeria:

A Hasbro executive told the publication that existing darts were just too easy to copy, and it’s got patents pending on the new Ultra foam.

Powered Descent posted:I've always wanted to spend a night in a coffin-hotel like that, just for the experience. Even in the dark your brain gets strong auditory cues that the walls are quite close to your face from the way your breath reverbs off them. Much like cupping your hands and putting them on your ears. Drives me nuts, I need to face open space to feel like I can breath. I don't mind the capsules that are length-wise, and you enter like a bunk bed. These are just coffins maybe I've got the 'tism
