Are You Ready To Be Outpaced By Machines? Quantum Computing

Payback says...

With the amount of money being spent by really smart people I'm sure something about it is valid. It's just, right now, they're all yammering about facts not in evidence. Also, as their quantum computers are actually slower and less powerful than contemporary computers, occam's razor would suggest it's a elaborate black box scam with a couple Raspberry Pies burbling away inside. Until they start using them to increase my FPS, I'm not buying into the technobabble.

We don't have to fully understand it to use the benefits from it. I'm pretty sure we used fire's benefits for a long time before we understood it.

A Good Day To Die Hard - First trailer

Despite Die Hard 4 being a PG13 puss fest, the fact it had the mac guy in it and of course the BS technobabble, it wasn't a bad movie. I look forward to this one


They're doing that with Taken 2. Over here it's a PG-12. One review I read said he basically kills people by pushing them. He pushes a lot of people in the film. Films like that should be 18-rated.

Controlled Quantum Levitation on a Wipe'Out Track

I'd say that spoco2 applied some fine skepticism to the whole thing. Extraordinary claims, such as this one, requires extraordinary evidence. If a youtube video is the only evidence, then it's not a very persuasive case.

Technobabble has been around since soothsayers and before, right now it's just all quantum because it's super mysterious to average folks.

@gwiz665
Witness the intersection of science and religion. Ordain something in the raiment of science and people will believe. More so, if the field is as esoteric as quantum physics.

Printer Ink Secret, Revealed! BUT WAIT!...THERE'S MORE!!!!!

DonanFear says...

My Swedish friend here is not asserting anything, he's merely quoting the original author's playlist.

Good fake videos aren't entirely false, putting some truth in there make people think "oh, I've heard about this before, it's probably true!". This is one of those.
Most modern ink cartridges do have a small circuit board to keep track of how much ink is left and they aren't very accurate. Some printers even refuse to print if they think they're out of ink even when there's ink left, but they don't start faking horizontal lines like they're running out of ink, they just stop printing and tell you to go buy more.
But they do not have a reset button! Why would they need that anyway?

The simplest way to make a small memory to keep track of how much you've printed is to have a small non-erasable ROM filled with zeroes. You can read the ROM and you can write ones to it, but you can't reset those ones back to zeroes. When it's full of ones you know it's "empty". A reset button means either SRAM with a battery or some kind of processor. Both options are overly complicated, expensive and unnecessary.

Fake Videos!
Video's that make a claim, but it's all FAKE! So don't get all bent out of shape.
is what the poster of this video calls the playlist within which you find this video.

To your first assertion:
Excuse me, your opinion or do you a more substantial basis?
and
To your second:
Huh?

Explosion Welding: how it's done

chtierna says...

Whats the point of using a press when you can blow shit together?

And trust the yanks to come up with names like "backer" and "cladder". WTF. "Well y'all gotta birddog the backer to the cladder before it moseys down the dosado. Yeeehawww!" I want technobabble with my howto's.

>> ^dag:

Very interesting! It seems incredibly crude and yet high tech at the same time.
Surely there must be a better way to do this than wasting all those volatiles to make a sheet of bonded metal? I'm thinking of an incredibly heavy, high-speed press.

Wow... this is really great. The more I watch it, the better is gets. LOL... this guy would be a fantastic science fiction writer.

So, I have to be honest here. Even though the Star Trek stuff is technobabble. I hear some of it and I think... hmmm that sounds plausible.
