Yeah, I have some old books from my dad that taught people how to be ready for a stress interview. Often it's something like having your seat in a place where light shines in your eyes, loud background noises, or a panel of interviewers staring at you.
It's probably more suited for say, sales job, but doesn't represent engineering well. Unless it does, which you probably want to get out of there as fast as possible.
>No one has actually really built such a quantum computer yet
What are you talking about? We've had very small quantum universal computers for some time, and quantum annealers for two decades. How did you miss that?
I regret to inform you that low bit strength RSA was even broken with a quantum annealer, not even a universal quantum machine. the NSA is a customer of D-Wave.
IBM's quantum roadmap has them shipping 1121 qubit machine next year, this year they've shipped a 400+ qubit machine. So far they've been able to keep doubling the number of qubits every year. These are universal quantum computers.
If they can keep scaling at that rate, both RSA and ECDSA are toast within a decade.
> truth is the greatest weapon against the violence of ignorant tyranny.
Do you see this work in practice?
All I see is a dead internet filled with AI-generated fake detritus-like content, attention and behaviour manipulation, all sorts of dark patterns.
Truth alone doesn’t come close to protect you against ignorant violence. Ignorance is multiplied by tech at much higher multiple, simple because there is often little profit in spreading the truth.
Sure. I see it in every child cured of cancer because the truth of
Fourier means that Positron Emission Tomography can zap a tumour. I
see it when people dance to music because the truth of electrodynamics
and sampling theory mean artists in a studio can make a record for
millions of others to enjoy. I see it when people are warm in their
homes because Einstein's truth about matter and energy means they have
electricity. The world around us is literally a triumph of truth.

You're looking at it wrong. What you see is a group of sad little
people who betrayed technology to assuage their own inadequacies.
They mostly took what other much smarter people invented to make
sordid little businesses out of leveraging ignorance. The world is
catching up with them and their deeds, mark my words.
Morphine has more effects than just killing pain, however. It also provides a euphoric feeling. It's more interesting if a drug that was until now only known for removing physical pain can also provide relief for social pain.
Well yes, there’s definitely a reason there are problems with opiate addictions.
A differentiation between legal and illegal drugs is the legal ones poison you before they make you feel particularly amazing, the illegal ones poison you after. Take way too much acetaminophen and you get liver failure before you feel euphoria.
There are arguments to be made that many illegal drugs are safer at effective doses but have risks of abuse not present in the drugs that poison you before abuse is fun.
So with man made chemicals they tend to not break down as easily, you see this with man made pesticides like pyrethrin's yet the pyrethrin's in Chrysanthemum do break down easily, organophosphates (nerve agents at the right dose) are another group used to dip Sheep in, but might show up in trace amounts in lanolin based Vit D3 supplements.
I thought white boarding is the stress part.
