Comment Policies:
After two decades of mostly-open comments, in July 2024 Shtetl-Optimized transitioned to the following policy:
All comments are treated, by default, as personal missives to me, Scott Aaronson---with no expectation either that they'll appear on the blog or that I'll reply to them.
At my leisure and discretion, and in consultation with the Shtetl-Optimized Committee of Guardians, I'll put on the blog a curated selection of comments that I judge to be particularly interesting or to move the topic forward, and I'll do my best to answer those. But it will be more like Letters to the Editor. Anyone who feels unjustly censored is welcome to the rest of the Internet.
To the many who've asked me for this over the years, you're welcome!

That’s pretty cool. One of the best SMBCs I’ve seen in a while, and I like a lot of them. I always tell people that a quantum computer is more like an analog computing device. Like the water computer, or the astrolabe, but using a quatum object as a proxy. Could we do FFT using a large tank of water and some movable barriers do you think?
