I like the middle part of the track Sander. My music for today includes some non-vocal selections by Leo Kottke - try Three/Quarter North, Wonderland by Night, or Twilight Time if you're not familiar with his 12 string guitar music. Very peaceful!

Suspiciously also no mention of whether that size is in terms of how much "classical space" it would take to represent the state of one of those discs (exponentially more classical bits than there are qubits in that disc), or in terms of how much "classical data" could be reliably stored on that disc (not exponentially more data than there are qubits in that disc, you can blame Holevo's theorem).

I've been reading about quantum computing for years now, but as I understand it can take around two more decades before we can have one in our homes.
It makes news like this slightly less exciting.

Not only that, but they have been saying "we'll have clean, safe fusion power in common use in twenty years" every decade since what? 1960?

Since the 1950s. It turned out that making an H-bomb was a lot easier than making a controlled thermonuclear reactor. 
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Perhaps the article link below will be of some interest to you. The author seems to authoritatively demolish ITAR's claims. I conclude ITER is a world class scam perhaps even many orders of magnitude greater than Theranos. Perhaps the small scale privately funded fusion based on kinetic impact will succeed or perhaps laser pellet fusion. As for quantum computers I of course know nothing of the technology but IBM or is it Google I forgot or maybe both plans to roll out a one-thousand qubit machine soon so things are moving along so I am an optimist.
ITER is a showcase ... for the drawbacks of fusion energy - Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists[^]
PS I am surprised I have not seen this chestnut here of which I only learned today i.e. to wit in particular "A Programmer is a device which transforms coffee into code."
