Prof. Scott Aaronson - Quantum Computing and the Limits of the Efficiently Computable

[@jmb56]

Very interesting talk, especially the part about the laws of physics seeming to prohibit polynomial time algorithms for np problems. And his style? who cares, his passion for the subject comes across and this is enough to keep me listening

[@joshuacook2]

Where was this given?

[@Serfuzz]

He's been at Berkeley. That's their way to pronounce punctuation marks..

[@daveyvane]

To illustrate the consistency of his theme, recognize that this presentation of 2011 ago is the same as one in 2024.

[@daveyvane]

For those that criticize his presenting skills, solve your own problem by choosing to read the transepts, or use an AI generated voice to calm your anxieties.

[@catsupchutney]

Wonderful talk. If he took voice coaching, he'd earn good money from his lectures.

[@daveyvane]

He is a theoretical computer scientist, not Peter Coyote.

okay

[@millec60]

He is not a very good speaker. Obviously knows his stuff, but not a good speaker

[@daveyvane]

Then don’t watch, read the transcript

Dear Scott It is embarrasing to tell you : you MUST urgently get a good professional tutor to train you how to speak in public : you endlessly keep saying "you know", "OK" and "a-a-a-a-...", and gesticulate with both hands in rather silly ways ... It is indeed a great pity, and it can be corrected with some effort on your part ... And trust me, you MUST correct it urgently ... Elemer E Rosinger

[@ArumesYT]

I certainly prefer his style over all those "speakers" who just read their entire lecture from paper. Plenty of examples of those on this channel. They need help more urgently than Scott Aaronson.

[@daveyvane]

Dear Elemer, It is not embarrassing to tell you to jerk off and just accept an individuals style of presenting.
