  You mean by fucking things up, endlessly praising the decision, having it forcibly reversed, and then having him boast that he solved the problem that he created?

  Guessing how close or far we are from any given computing breakthrough is bound to be wrong.

  I wouldn’t be shocked if some governments were pouring money into this in secret.

  Prime factorization is one. Another is an asymptotically faster Fourier transform.

  There are several tricks in signal processing that have faster analogs in a quantum implementation. Those cool tricks are the foundation of much more complicated transformations and algorithms.

  There is an entire complexity class you can read up in: Bounded Quantum Polynomial Time (BQP).

  Going to take a metric fuckton of work to vet.

  Better: Tiered system like unreal or whatever:

  • Below a certain threshold no %
  • After the next mark 5%
  • Next go to 10% . . . Repeat up to 30%. Sony will cough up immediately. Smaller devs may never get hit or may get hit pretty easily for a while.

  Yea, ton of things marketed as indie don’t fit the bill.
