the Gentoo Wiki is also high on my list, actually first because Gentoo is my preferred choice, equal in terms of useful content, only second in userbase - to Arch.
Gentoo also implemented a policy prohibiting people from contributing LLM output. Theres not a culty rule-following edit-sanitization mod team, and the wiki doesnt require special permission, just the honor system, but so far its enough to make me like contributing to it is a form of charity to help future mankind.
we have been using wgetpaste, that supports this 0x0 service (among others), as a support tool, so people can paste their debug logs and stuff to chat.
The Coming Soon columns make it hard to see the two main price and name columns on mobile small screen at the same time. I wish to hide those. But nice idea.
"At 10% threshold, assuming a 10-μs code cycle and non-local connections, one key can be generated every 10 minutes using 6000 modules with 1152 physical qubits each."
1152 qubits sounds like the D-Wave chips. So does that mean 6000 D-wave chips ?
Even if you reverse the calculation, that would be 60000 minutes on 1 chip, which is about 42 days only, so.
Quantum Too Good
The paper is about digital gate-based quantum computers. These have almost nothing in common with D-Wave's analogue quantum annealers. They certainly cannot run Shor's algorithm (they don't run algorithms at all).
If I remember correctly, the chips in D-Wave machines are for specific problems (optimization problems mostly), so it seems very unlikely they can run the quantum circuits proposed in the article.
The D-Wave ones surely can't (theoretically unproven if it's doing anything 'useful', even if 'quantum').The ones that others have, theoretically can in the 'awesome future', but as yet can't (too noisy).
Hype aside - the largest number factored using Shor on a physical device is 21 (unclear if they actually used the result of the factoring to design the circuits like they did with 15).
That seems like a damning critique, but the reality is that quantum capabilities can and likely will advance as a series of step functions. The quantum machines we can build now are so noisy that we can’t even factor 3 digit numbers. However low nois quantum computers are on the drawing board and would bring many order of magnitude improvements nearly overnight.
now here we have "X considered harmful" - a common Trope.
This seems more like a "First!" to title their paper this, as a meme of the whitepaper meta, that title came first, then the arguments came.
I say this because I joked about a paper being released with this name about a week ago and now here it is, but Its a bit lower quality than expected.
We might need another one later...
a similar situation just happened between Nvidia and EVGA.
NVidia makes the chips, And So, holds all the bargaining chips so to speak, and EVGA is just the board partner that has to find some way to make the price work. At some point it becomes impossible and they have to actually walk away in order to not be taken advantage of.
We know this much, and I'm going to assume the situation was similar here with Apple and Wistron.
I think the Nvidia/EVGA situation might be a little different in that it looks like Nvidia is intentionally trying to squeeze out board partners like EVGA in favor of self-branded cards. The closer parallel is probably when Apple killed the Mac clone program by making it extremely difficult for clone makers to compete.
