The things about quantum computers is they are really, really powerful at a some kinds of things, some of the time. Maybe even most of the time.

Binary computers are okay at one thing, but it does that one thing exactly every time. If it ever makes a mistake then entire thing might crash.

The problem is a quantum computer is so different from normal computers you have to start over from the beginning of the tech stack. Even if you get it working reliability (which is hard to do), how does it help you? You can do some crazy math, but it can’t run an operating system. It doesn’t have a bios. There are no drivers that speak some percentage of up spin vs down spin. There isn’t a standard assembly language. There isn’t a standard anything. It’s like how computers were in the 40s.

I think quantum computers are very interesting and might help in very specific applications, and I mean like custom made math heavy applications that only run on that one machine you built it for kind of specific.

Can that change the world? Maybe. But it will take time. No one wants to talk about it because it’s a hard problem that is still years away from doing much to impact peoples lives. Better to talk about ai slop, that gets clicks because you can see it and touch it right now.

What the hell hit it, a rail gun? Lol that was awesome.

I’m pushing numbers like that. And I have to say, when I really stop and think about it, my life just keeps getting better. I keep getting better. My mind is better. My attitude is better.

I think about death a lot, but I also think about life a lot. Its easy to think back and say “if only I could go back” forgetting that who you are now and who you were then are completely different. We wish we had more time to be young and wise, but usually you have to pick one out the other.

I must second this. I think the problem is these morons are the loudest in the room and have no self awareness. Most people likely agree, just quietly.

Expected combat, got combat. 10/10 lol

Play some farming simulator. I’ve learned so much about different types of agricultural equipment, their uses, the process of where food comes from. I feel like if things ever feel out in the tech sector I could easily transfer to agriculture.

As a developer of many years I hate to tell you sometimes that it’s all the information we have when something breaks also. Most code is a god awful mess. Thankfully I love a good mystery.

Can’t wait to pick out which burbclave to join…

Can’t we let rain, rust, and corruption do that for us? Saves bombs for better things.

Honestly if taken out of context, hawt.

I am saddened to see that this thread had no mention of how many horses it takes to run a router. What do y’all think? Would one be enough? It would need to work in shifts to keep up time at 100%. Maybe 3 to be safe?

Mirror + bandaid + paperclip + packing tape = boom? It’s like a bad 80s tv show.

I kind of like to think that anyone inside thought that they drove off the crew attacking their position. Like “Ha, they are leaving, we did it. Great job everyone.
… Wait what’s that beeping sound? Do you guys here ticking?”

I am pretty sure those wires on the fpv drone was a contact sensor. That is brilliant. Simple loops that when you hit something they get pushed together.

It’s the companys fault for looking at the 151 and saying, what if we replaced all this with random bullshit? I miss the og pokemon. I tried playing newer games but damn, it’s pure chaos.
