  Hand written assembly is pretty common in video, no matter what they say. All modern video codecs have hand written assembly for all modern SIMD extensions, even on ARM. They didn’t say anything about where these numbers come from. Likely compared against unoptimized C code. There will never be a case where having AVX-512 will give you that kind of speedup, because there will be fallbacks for more common extensions.

  If qbits double every year, we’re at 20 million in 15 years. Changing crypto takes a very long time on some systems. If we’re at ~20000 in 5 years, we better have usable post quantum in place to start mitigations.

  But I’m not convinced yet, we’ll have those numbers then. Especially error free qbits…

  Wasn’t that somewhat how Q-anon started?

  They have a demo. Played it with my youngling. It was too much for him.

  The game is great - if you like suffering.

  The Steam reviews are hilarious.

  Soo they added webp and AV1, which aren’t that much better then old jpeg, especially with the modern jpeg encoder JpegLi. But JpegXL is out of the question.

  Those examples all have a good reason that does not apply here. Browsers already support multiple formats and added a few in the last decade.
