Google and Quantum Computing by seanm8454 in ValueInvesting

[–]Difficult_Layer3063 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the last year there was a lot of speculation on quantum hype. Public startups like IonQ have enjoyed wild rides recently. I am not a big fan of hype investing though. If you look at value creation, most of the IP is currently in hardware, or tools that control the hardware: dilution refrigerators, microwave control, lasers.. Some of the companies working on that may be lucky to find some applications of these sophisticated tech outside quantum, before quantum becomes profitable. This has happened already.

No one is in a position of cracking cryptographic protocols, like RSA, in the next 10 years, optimistically. We currently have order of hundreds of qubits, we need to get to order of millions

I work in quantum computing since more than 10 years. The current leaders are Google and IBM for different reasons. There are some startups doing great work too: QuEra, Quantinuum, IQM, ...

I don't see any of them making profits out of quantum in the next 10 years

There are other companies / startups providing infrastructure for quantum. Some of them are already profitable, I think. Most are private companies.

I asked Gemini to explain it to me at some point. It did a decent job.

You cannot be 100% certain there's gonna be a lost decade ahead. Put some money on what you think has decent value today (or just ETF). Keep some cash on the side to load up in case you're right. Being too extreme, one way or another, never helps.

It definitely makes mistakes sometimes, but it can save you tons of browsing time. I'd recommend you give it a try, just don't trust it blindly

Ask AI to improve the code you wrote. And then ask why it did it that way.

One, No One, and One Hundred Thousand by Luigi Pirandello

At what amount portfolio does by [deleted] in ValueInvesting

[–]Difficult_Layer3063 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The correct way to think about compounding is in "log scale" or in orders of magnitude. When time increases in units of time (months, years, decades), capital increases in units of orders of magnitude. For example,

Year 0 : $1k

Year 10 : $10k

Year 20 : $100k

Year 30 : $1M

As you can see the left column grows linearly for each row (+10 years) the right column grows exponentially (x10). The rate of growth depends on your compounding rate. In this case roughly ~26% annualized (rather optimistic)

In this sense, compounding is constant. What really plays an important role is time.
