I remember a study involving a rat pressing a button that was wired back into its brain in order to get the equivalent of a dopamine release

it's a shame people shill quantum so much without realizing that 90% of the commercial quantum computers in use are super specialized and would never work as "personal computers"

coupled with the fact that being too loud or stomping on the floor could disrupt the machine

unless you had it shielded heavily

Ibm just got a general purpose one running

the general purpose ones are far less powerful than their specialized ones

*working

idk if they are even more powerful than regular computers yet

i know the specialized ones are leagues above silicon based machines

the only possibility of commercialized quantum computers would have to be if they were able to miniaturize them down enough to the point that the overall cost of shielding and cooling wasn't completely overwhelming

not to mention even then you could only have it as a desk top

And it has significant boosts over classical computing, in certain areas like O(n^2) problems

if cloud computing becomes even more mainstream and everyone starts getting fiber internet, I could imagine having data centers that are climate controlled and shielded to have many quantum computers

and you would simply just stream it to your client machine

which would still be silicon

the study involving the rat was similar, except in the case of the rat, it died of starvation as it just sat there pressing the button @F-Star

Quantum computing is *very* good at searching through databases

friendly reminder that cell phones are at the same stage

So yeah, Google would be using it

snapdragon 845 is 10nm

and the snapdragon 1000 will be 7nm

the 1015 or whatever will be 5nm

and that's it

What is mores law?

CISC cpu's don't even exist anymore

I think there is at least a possibility that small scale quantum computing would be possible to install in your home, if only at the cost of living space - like installing a fridge

All AMD / Intel CPU's are RISC based now

RISC 5 is a thing

and use a microcontroller to convert all the instructions

from CISC to RISC

for better efficiency

ARM CPU's don't convert CISC instructions, they are controlled directly

@pixiys moore's law was basically an observation that every 10 months, cpu's doubled in efficiency

I think

18 months

and it has been slowing down since 2008

the law of diminishing returns

Moore was right

Oh, then what is the other one that's the smallest it can go

the other was memory

the smallest theoretically possible to fabricate a CPU
