EEheran lemmy.worldHahaha. "We are better in this extremely specific case, for real. We build and optimized this system with 50'000 hours of work and it really is 30 % faster than the out-of-the-box code we got from GitHub that is 6 years old!"9Reply

I.e. just another worthless quantum benchmark.
Small steps are how engineering gets done. It's a rare technology that proves its value overnight.
Then stop reporting useless baby steps for a change, and come back if they have something real to show?
