re: Boston Dynamics robot can now run on two legs after learning how to jump

have you ever tried to outrun a 4 legged animal?

We evolved two-leg running efficiency to outrun four-legged prey. Humans can run for much longer distances than can four-legged animals. They can run faster for short distances but long-distance running belongs to our species. That's the efficiency that's mentioned.

We are probably two decades out from both hardware that can run on quantum computing in large scale and the algorithms that can use quantum computing to perform tasks faster than classical computing to be developed. The largest quantum computer developed now is only 20 qubits and the problem of scale is a very real one to overcome.

Thanks for sharing. Your post sent me to you tube for quite some time. What is so insane is I couldn't find anyone credible that could actually say at this point What quantum computers will make possible..Only the exponential math problems that Classical computers could not.

I saw one video where they were keeping the a processor of a quantum PC in a cryogen tank that was colder than outer space

Most people said think of where computers were in the 40's and 50's and where they are now. That is about where we are at as a species with Quantum machines. Just fascinating and terrifying all at once
