amazing what you can accomplish when you don't have a mestizo and negro welfare class to feed.

You mean cannon fodder for playing world police and the modern sport/artistry of professional athletics?
We can still buy them with the H1-B. What we need is less abuse of such legislation to pinch pennies to make off dime of the working class. Kaku said give them a raise and he was right for more than one reason.
Nuture means more. Geniuses are raised not born. The guy who discovered the Majorna in the lab, yeah he is black.

Man I would love there to be a Quantum Race just like the space race in the cold war...

Runs on gas,diesel,cooking oil, or vodka.

Newer versions run only on vodka, because the system is becoming more intelligent.

I claim it bullshit. Russians lead nothing for quite a while. Not even publishing sensationalist headlines like these, as North Korea does it better.

So, Google's using 49 qubits, comprised of ions, within a chip. On the day of their presentation an international team of Russian and Americans say they have a 51 qubit computer, comprised of atoms trapped in "laser cells".
How the hell do "laser cells" even scale up? These machines already require super low temps to operate. At what scale does the law of diminishing returns kick in, where there's more power needed to keep the "cold atoms" in place vs actually computing?

It kicked in almost instantly. The computations take almost no power in the first place. Almost everything is spent on cooling.

So now we're in a race for the smartest A.I.
