Explains the selloff today? Justin Drake on Quantum
Big quantum breakthrough + secrecy fail:
Google found a huge 10x speedup to break Bitcoin/Ethereum signatures, but hid the details with a secret "zero-knowledge proof" after talking to the US government.
A French researcher quickly rediscovered it anyway, and a public challenge has already improved it further (plus new tech needs only ~10,000 qubits)
Timeline warning + Ethereum plan:
Justin Drake now says there's a 50% chance quantum computers break today's crypto by 2032 (10% by 2030).
He wants Ethereum to switch to unbreakable "hash-based" crypto by 2029 and is offering two $1 million prizes to speed it up.

Why do quantum computers make terrible stand-up comedians?
Because their timing is always uncertain, and they never know if they’ve killed or bombed until the audience reacts 😜

With the current progress on quantum computers, its a very real possibility that by the time I am 40 - I might be able to play with stars and make generative art. Truly random, uncertain even

@siadude
If anyone has to add some more up to date information in that thread would be much appreciated!
Maybe what is the latest development in "warm" quantum computing? Are there any notable results in that field/topic?
