It feels like 6 months ago, I couldn’t go a few hours without being exposed to some new wild claims from Microsoft or Google, or any of the other companies working on this. Lately nothing comes up in any of my feeds.

    Quantum computing has more or less nothing in common with regular computers. It’s not a super computer, it’s not a mythical upgrade or something like that, quantum computers are basically incredibly niche calculators that can only be useful on a handful of problems. They do exist and can be useful but media tech hype is media tech hype and should be disregarded.
