G'day Ray

yes, maybe we are wasting our time
the links to the two blogs were included as a courtesy, because they give some useful background when reading the main paper linked to in post#10. This is a peer reviewed paper published in the journal Nature and dealing with the attainment of quantum supremacy by the Google computer. The leader of the team is a distinguished 62 yo scientist "Dr. Martinis was a NIST Fellow, and is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. At the University of California, Santa Barbara he currently holds the Wooster Chair in experimental physics". This is serious work by serious people and it is perhaps excessively dismissive to characterize it as "crap" and "a lot of acneyed gamers, ...getting their rocks off" https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1666-5
