I buy the argument 'we should prepare for Q-Day as crypto agility is hard', but the newest paper doesn’t change the timeline meaningfully.

Given TFA accepts that error correction is the bottleneck for progress, and the gap between any and lots of error correction is small, and we presently have close to 0 error correction then nothing has practically changed with reduced qubit requirements.

Of course, it’s totally fine to have and announce a change of view on the topic, though I don’t see how the Google paper materially requires it.


I disagree and you could reduce basically anything to this: 'there can‘t be any interesting discussion about React. Every conversation boils down to which framework you use or how you manage state or whether you use typescript or javascript‘

All of those are opinions about programming. Which framework, which language, etc.

Conversations about which model to use aren’t conversations about programming.

A better analogy would be some topic that you can’t discuss without it boiling down to which text editor you should use. It’s related to programming, a little. But it’s not programming.


That is exactly why I left reddit. r/javascript had almost completely abandoned JavaScript discussions for React and Angular while r/programming was half filled with irrational JavaScript fear nonsense.

10mins is a lifetime in capital and crypto markets - I find it hard to believe that trading 10mins after the Terraform Labs swap hit the chain constitutes insider trading.

The claim of artificial price inflation with Jump sounds more questionable but TFA doesn’t seem to put it front and centre


Doesn’t that 10m lag make it seem more like insider training? An automated trade would happen nearly instantly, 10m is plenty of time for insiders to send some texts or make some calls.


Third option, which is that there was a partially automated system with a person in the loop.


Especially since it's a public ledger. Anyone with a program watching the chain is going to see it. From there they can exercise whatever trade they want for their gain.


Don’t need an app for Apple Pay


I‘ve been a happy user of https://helium.computer for a few months now after a previous Mozilla faux-pas. So far I don’t miss Firefox in the slightest


Thanks for this.

I find having a name to certain phenomena makes them easier to understand and apply in the wild, and will definitely think ‘barker’ in the future haha


Verifiable quantum randomness sounds interesting - https://drand.love is another verifiable randomness beacon, though using more traditional cryptography


Most people with a mechanical engineering degree cannot buy an _average_ house - not quite the same


Extrapolating your answer, Most mechanical engineering firms are not in the same areas as the cheap houses. So on your point, most mechanical engineers cannot buy a house that they can live in and get to work.


Not quite vim bindings, but lichess supports typing pgn for moves (at least for blindfold)


lichess.org is a treasure and as a friendly reminder https://lichess.org/patron#:~:text=No%2C%20because%20Lichess...


I’m not suggesting LLMs are infallible, but boy you’re overselling the accuracy of literature


Why do you think that?
