In December 2024, Google announced that its Willow quantum computing chip had completed a calculation in roughly five minutes that would have required the world’s fastest classical supercomputer approximately 10 septillion years — longer than the current age of the universe by a factor of approximately a quadrillion — in what Google’s quantum AI team called a demonstration that the chip had entered a ‘beyond-classical’ regime

The headline number is the kind of figure that is hard to absorb without somehow flattening it back into ordinary language. Ten septillion years is 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years.

Сколько существует ПО, столько админы и программисты спорят о свободном и несвободном ПО.  Тема эта древняя и, казалось бы, все участвующие в споре стороны давно определились с лагерем, за который они “топят».И так бы все и продолжалось, если бы в 2022 году картинка радикально не поменялась.
