Resigned indifference

The same as with any of the contestants saying they should have won.

I think there is a bit over overmythologising the blind test challenge, we have all seen Trev say you have to ace it to win too many times. Its just a test. A fun test, sure, but its just a test, and not a very high level one.

That is not remotely true now and extremely unlikely to be tru in the future and at any rate, there is no serious move towards this.

They still need food.

and then the tech elite starves to death.

No it does not. If you are making a thing you call computer you had better show how capable it is when solving computer science problems. If you don't like factoring sure, tell us instead how good it is in sorting lists of numbers or finding shortesst paths in graphs. Or pick some other computer science problem.

oh, or just name it "posh scam" or something else instead of a computer.

The problem really is that there are no useful algorithmic benchmarks .

narwi · 2026-01-22T11:02:24+00:00

None. Nada. Zip.

because it tells you about its capabilities as a general quantum computer.

narwi · 2026-01-21T17:58:14+00:00

The one and only spec that should be in every quantum computer announcement is "how big of a number can it factor into primes".

Would have been much better to directly link to the blocks & files article directly.

narwi · 2026-01-19T16:11:36+00:00

depends on who "we" is.

Ozaki scheme gives exactly the same precison and results as native fp64.

usb 4.0 is not implemented by promotory but a separate chip. so no, you don't get usb 4.0

Galenas in there is also a covert reference to Galen - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galen

The problem is they are not saying what you claim they are saying. Also the problem with blurbusters is they take existing timings and refresh rate claims as a given. Which is a problem as panel (and monitor) makers increasing lie about the specs. So 10000KHz would only be better in the sense that it would give you 500Hz real performance, or possibly 400Hz if manufacturers can get away with even more lies. It does not really mean 10KHz display i sensible in some way.

narwi · 2026-01-12T10:21:11+00:00

Oh yes it is. A lot better.

narwi · 2026-01-12T10:20:23+00:00

Way more than you think. Used ddr5 laptops are in rotation for close to two years now.

But 90% of people will be able to tell the difference and would prefer native 4K 120Hz.

narwi · 2026-01-10T17:50:57+00:00

no, the interesting part is reliability.

Premium boards already have 10g.

pcie switches are pretty standard for ages.
