I don’t know if it’s your fault honestly. It’s the system that makes you want to offshore your work to developing countries and not hire local employees. I get it. It’s cheaper. But when even independent developers start doing this we have reached post-late stage capitalism at this point

True but it’s a bit hypocritical on my part. I should be using cash every time I can, not every time I can’t use my card/apple pay.

I prefer to pay w/ cash in this case. I don’t know why tbh.

Most of the time I use Apple Pay in person. However sometimes they don’t accept it online so I have to use my card.

When I said “pay without using your card” I meant online, because I’ve never used Twint in a physical shop.

That’s what i’m saying, it’s just like Wero but slightly more advanced, a way to pay without using your card.

Twint isn’t really an alternative. Swiss cards still use the visa/mastercard networks.

Ohh I’m trying this out as soon as I can, I was just in the process of getting rid of my useless accounts!

I don’t understand why is everybody hating? It threw me off and made me laugh at first but I find it perfectly readable.

Yes they will probably never replace them because they’re actually slower than classical computers in doing simple calculations.

Quantum ML is actively being researched. However I am not informed at all about the advancement in this field specifically.

But the good news is that it doesn’t need to be portable, we can use them just as we do right now with remote access!

Oh I’m not saying it is technically impossible, it’s the opposite actually, it’s developing extremely fast. And usefulness and having QCs in our homes aren’t that far apart to be honest. Why would John Doe have a QC at home if he’s not trying to create a new medication, or simulate a molecule? Probably for the same reasons he doesn’t have an MRI machine in his living room :)

Yeah but you have to consider one other thing. Before creating classical computers, we already had theorized them, we had algorithms etc. We knew why we were creating them.

For QC, the pace of hardware development is faster than our ability to create algorithms. It’s very similar to what’s happening with the AI bubble currently, we’re investing heavily in a new technology because it looks cool to investors, but we don’t even have enough algorithms to run on it. It’s just a shit ton of marketing…

I don’t think it will ever reach consumer households, since it requires extremely complex and expensive materials, tools and physical conditions. Unless a major breakthrough occurs but highly unlikely.

Also we don’t really have a use for them, at least to regular users. They won’t replace classical computers.

But you can already access some QCs online. IBM has a paid remote API for instance.
