All we know is, he’s called the Emperor.
Not my picture, just a nicked one, but I believe it is in San Francisco.
JohnSmith@feddit.ukto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Fraudster made £550,000 selling fake 'Scottish-grown tea'English3·17 days agoThis is such an implausible scam that he should have gotten away with it. But not all is lost. He should relaunch the product with small print ‘not’ in front of Scottish-grown tea.
Well written and well judged. You and others in the feddit.uk admin team continue to be an exemplar.

Presently coherence times are too short and number of qubits too low for practically useful computations, though.
Regardless, a lot can be learned in projects like this about integrating conventional and quantum computing. One has to start somewhere.
They’ll be implementing several updates over the coming years to push towards useful computations. The engineering challenges are formidable and the road will be long and bumpy.
Which is what they announced in the spending review today: £39b over ten years to social housing. I was not expecting that, but I definitely welcome it. How about getting the planning system sorted and a major increase in skilled labourers happen next? Tomorrow is fine.
