“This is a very nice demonstration of quantum advantage. While a great achievement academically, the algorithm used does not really have real world practical applications though."

On the cusp of a new era

Let's wait until they use that to break encryption

70 quits. Around 4,000 would be needed to break encryption. This is a step in that direction and still a huge achievement!

Paywalled. Is there a free version of this article or a workaround?

If you make a bookmark on your bookmarks toolbar and put:

javascript:void(location.href="https://12ft.io/"+location.href);

in the URL field, whenever you hit a paywall you can click the bookmark and it'll take you straight to a 12ft.io version.

Doesn't often work with academic papers but it usually does for news and commentary.

E2A:

javascript:void(location.href="https://sci-hub.se/"+location.href);

is the equivalent for sci-hub (works well for academic papers) but you may need a VPN for some jurisdictions.

Works for me in Firefox.

Did you make sure you copied the whole line?

It needs to be a bookmark on your toolbar. It doesn't work if you can't click it directly from the page. I don't know why.

Weird. I copied it starting with the "j" and ending with the ";" Also it is on the toolbar.

I decided to search the exact string and see what came back. Didn't find a solution to the problem, but did find an alternate version that works for me.

I appreciate you introducing me to these. They will be super handy in the future.

Here is the other version in case anyone runs into the same issue.

javascript: (() => { window.location.replace("https://12ft.io/" + window.location.href)})();

From: https://tildes.net/~tech/10ko/little_12ft_io_bookmarklet

He also has the text for a bookmark a ladder icon in the comments, in case anyone is interested.
