Commodore 64 claimed to outperform IBM's quantum system
A Hacker News item pointing to a claim that a Commodore 64 can outperform an IBM quantum system on some particular task. No abstract or technical detail is available, so the specific benchmark, IBM device, and methodology behind the claim are unclear from the item itself.
Why it matters: Claims of this kind usually reflect that current noisy quantum hardware has no advantage on classically easy tasks, and are worth checking against the actual benchmark before drawing conclusions.
