Podcasts!

A 9-year-old named Kai (“The Quantum Kid”) and his mother interviewed me about closed timelike curves, wormholes, Deutsch’s resolution of the Grandfather Paradox, and the implications of time travel for computational complexity:
This is actually one of my better podcasts (and only 24 minutes long), so check it out!
Here’s a podcast I did a few months ago with “632nm” about P versus NP and my other usual topics:
For those who still can’t get enough, here’s an interview about AI alignment for the “Hidden Layers” podcast that I did a year ago, and that I think I forgot to share on this...

Quantum Investment Bros: Have you no shame?
Near the end of my last post, I made a little offhand remark:
[G]iven the current staggering rate of hardware progress, I now think it’s a live possibility that we’ll have a fault-tolerant quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm before the next US presidential election. And I say that not only because of the possibility of the next US presidential election getting cancelled, or preempted by runaway superintelligence!
As I later clarified, I’ll consider this “live possibility” to be fulfilled even if a fault-tolerant Shor’s algorithm is “merely” used to factor 15 into 3×5—a milestone that seems a few steps, but only a few steps,...

Quantum computing: too much to handle!
Tomorrow I’m headed to Berkeley for the Inkhaven blogging residency, whose participants need to write one blog post per day or get kicked out. I’ll be there to share my “wisdom” as a distinguished elder blogger (note that Shtetl-Optimized is now in its twentieth year). I’m acutely aware of the irony, that I myself can barely muster the willpower these days to put up a post every other week.
And it’s not as if nothing is happening in this blog’s traditional stomping-ground of quantum computing! In fact, the issue is just the opposite: way too much is happening...
