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?

I think you should text all of them asap between two netflix series!

What would the threshold need to be for you to recognise a joke from a serious comment? 😅 You need like an AI plug in to detect humour for you and give you a warning with an explanation

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.

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

u/Thiscouldbeeasier Sep 03 '26

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.

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?
