GeminiApp refused to generate a new image, even after I asked twice. Just kept repeating that it had already done it before.

I'm baffled.

Is it "feeling" "frustrated" with my request now?

Anyone else seeing this pattern?

Is this normal behaviour?

I'm spooked.

I was so amazed to hear Bill Nelson and couldn't figure out who he reminded me of. Then suddenly it occurred -- Tim Cook!! Do you guys think so too?

"They're afraid and prefer to avoid facts, details and truth in favor of their own indoctrinated perspective." - This quite easily could also be the definition of someone who believes in God, souls and supernatural forces. Anyway, I respect your opinion.

I just believe that individuals are born with unique intellects. Each one thinks differently. Each brain, is creative and is entitled to believe in their own ideas first. However, one thing that lies undeterred which is, our ability to question things and ideas. Question our own ideas for that matter. Questioning things makes us wiser undoubtedly.

Questioning things has brought us to all the technological & scientific advancements that we enjoy today. Unfortunately, I do feel, that believers in the God/souls/supernatural, question much less, almost never. Therefore, while the field of science, has seen multiple iterations of ideas - One scientist comes up with an idea, it's accepted and then another scientist comes up with a better idea which gets accepted. Scientists keep debunking their own ideas from time to time, thus unravelling the truth further. Whereas, this rarely seems to be the case in the field of religion.

yes! I've been playing around with this while writing this guidebook, and I highly recommend all readers to try it out too, once you've gotten familiar with quantum gates. I'll very likely be adding quantum circuits and their results (from IBM), in an upcoming guidebook discussing some really cool quantum algorithms.

Thanks for letting me in on your experience. :) We totally believe that when information around a topic is broken down into bite-sized slide-like chapters its much less overwhelming to consume than everything dumped on a single page.

We are trying to give the authors an ability to contain the contents of a single slide within user view. Our editor is freshly released, so hopefully a future release soon enough would let educators do that and with some interaction features as well.

Is the slide software available online, e.g. github? I've been looking for something similar.

We built the editing tool for our users who would like to create Searchtrack guides to break down and express their knowledge. Unfortunately, it's not an open-source software. You can however request an invite to access it after signing up.

Hi! I put this guide together and I'm really glad you brought this point up. When I thought of creating this guide, I wanted to make it really easy for beginners to graduate level by level up to quantum gates, which inspired me to instead break the information down in a series.

This Part-1 guide in the series is mean't to educate even complete noobs from how a basic computer works and how we have reached the limits of making them any more powerful. While you are accurate when you say Quantum algorithms can help us exploit the quantum behaviour of qubits, we are particularly interested and motivated to utilize them because we can exponentially increase our computing power.

I have another follow-up guide coming that would take the readers a few more levels up very soon.

> we are particularly interested and motivated to utilize [quantum computers] because we can exponentially increase our computing power.

On some problems.

Quantum computers are --- to the best of our knowledge --- exponentially faster at computing some things (e.g. discrete log and factoring), quadratically faster at others (e.g. NP-complete problems), and no better than classical computers at others.

(I assume you know this since you're writing an article on quantum computers, but want to clarify for others.)

It might be worth noting that this seems more to do with why different transistor types are being used (fin-fets, nano tubes, etc) since we really haven't reached the physical limit of "traditional" transistors yet. I'd also argue that the motivation behind quantum computers is very much unrelated to limitations on transistor sizes, and more about the algorithms that can potentially be much faster than on traditional logic, such as shor's factoring algorithm

I think the "hacker-centric" culture has a lot to do with that. It definitely seems technology companies should if nothing else, at the least, identify "technology & their hackers" as their core competencies. Only when they do that will they create a culture like Google, Facebook because ideas to open-source internal tools and seeing the potential in it can only come from hackers. I had read once, that Facebook keeps jumping their hackers from one project to the other every few months to expose them to fresh ideas. Hackers do love building new things all the time; Facebook has probably cracked this.

I never knew the cofounders of Reddit were first on to building something else. That part just still makes me wonder what would have happened if Paul Graham had not accepted them and they would have kept working on the first idea. Life and luck work in mysterious ways I guess.

I had actually begun to feel bad that no one showed up ("poor chap"), when I landed on the next sentence.

Thanks a lot!
