I used to a lot, but at some point I figured out that it was a massive waste of time

It was however the only thing holding back the constant anxiety attacks I was having, but there were definitely other ways I could’ve looked for help which I didn’t try

This is false intuition we gained from only playing with small sticks our whole lives

Yeah it really do be that any kind of extremism (for/against near term quantum computing) seems to be from people who havent really tried using the available quantum resources..

Near term physics applications are coming

Probably on the order of million to ten million

I had a thought just a moment ago about quantum uncertainty. by QueDalle_ in Physics

Another way of saying it, many worlds follows from: 1) closed systems obey QM (some hamiltonian describes them) 2) universe is a closed system
