Can you say more about the last paragraph? I have often wondered if you could avoid identifier mangling with a better designed object file format
bear_child··on Ask HN: Anyone interested in a systems programming/math knowledge exchange?
Those videos look cool! I don't know anything about instruction pipelines and stuff like that. Will def check it out

That is a good point! For me, if I click the step button, I can then hold down enter and it starts steping very fast. That may be browser specific though

is the standard reference. It is well written and light if you have the math background (linear algebra + probability theory)

Regardless of how we end up building quantum computers, they will be useful. The theory behind computing with qbits is well established and many interesting quantum algorithms have already been developed.

Even a 32 qbit computer would be a very serious breakthrough.

edit: by a 32 qbit computer, I mean that the device should have 32 qbits of memory in total! I'm not talking about bus size.

That is one of the cool things about quantum computing. You don't need a big device to do interesting computations.

bear_child··on Ask HN: What's the state of the job market in data science and machine learning?
What is your company? I am Australian, finishing a PhD in mathematics and looking for a job.
