This time around, he tackles HSBC's recent claims for a "34% [quantum] advantage in predictions of financial trading data". It's an interesting read, to say the least.

HSBC unleashes yet another “qombie”: a zombie claim of quantum advantage that isn’t
Today, I got email after email asking me to comment on a new paper from HSBC—yes, the bank—together with IBM. The paper claims to use a quantum computer to get a 34% advantage in predic…

Generally an interesting example of how experimentation on the available (NISQ-era) quantum computers yields new forms of near-term algorithms. Not quite replacing classical methods for packing air freight, but great progress in hybrid methodology.

The present may be confusing but history has a way of calling things as they are.

If you've worked on the commercial side of quantum, you know this pain, keeping up with market trends and data across industries, personas, and specific algorithms. So I've collected it for you, and organised it in those streams.
Going live today, and populating over the weekend.

That's such a wonderful endorsement. Can't wait to see Zoe now (and in a time where art is more needed than every).

Ironically this kind of thing is why I'm building Bebop as an open source project. It's a tool to write/manage content locally but push across "the usual suspects" of blogging and content. Just not on Medium now - but Hashnode and Dev integrations are done.
