Very convenient indeed… and did I mention that the cameras didn’t work that day?

The answer is pretty simple actually. When he died, he had just been removed from suicide watch.

After six days, psychological staff removed Epstein from suicide watch following a psychiatric examination

Edit:

When Epstein was placed in the Security Housing Unit (SHU), the jail informed the Justice Department that he would have a cellmate and that a guard would look into the cell every 30 minutes. These procedures were not followed on the night he died.

Yes they will probably never replace them because they’re actually slower than classical computers in doing simple calculations.

Quantum ML is actively being researched. However I am not informed at all about the advancement in this field specifically.

But the good news is that it doesn’t need to be portable, we can use them just as we do right now with remote access!

Oh I’m not saying it is technically impossible, it’s the opposite actually, it’s developing extremely fast. And usefulness and having QCs in our homes aren’t that far apart to be honest. Why would John Doe have a QC at home if he’s not trying to create a new medication, or simulate a molecule? Probably for the same reasons he doesn’t have an MRI machine in his living room :)

Yeah but you have to consider one other thing. Before creating classical computers, we already had theorized them, we had algorithms etc. We knew why we were creating them.

For QC, the pace of hardware development is faster than our ability to create algorithms. It’s very similar to what’s happening with the AI bubble currently, we’re investing heavily in a new technology because it looks cool to investors, but we don’t even have enough algorithms to run on it. It’s just a shit ton of marketing…

I don’t think it will ever reach consumer households, since it requires extremely complex and expensive materials, tools and physical conditions. Unless a major breakthrough occurs but highly unlikely.

Also we don’t really have a use for them, at least to regular users. They won’t replace classical computers.

But you can already access some QCs online. IBM has a paid remote API for instance.

Or keep auto-upvote on because you agree with yourself. If you get proven wrong you can downvote your own post!
