Yep, we usually never hear about this stuff, since science shows, (at least down here) are rare.

Shows about English idiots roaming through Spain is more likely.

But anyway, yep they are available, and some biggies are using it, NASA and Google being two.

Typically 10,000 times faster than their equivalents. And very expensive.

But they are only good for some problems.

      Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

        The answer to you asking "Where is Claude" will always be "Behind you".

        Just you.

          Could be worse, I guess. It could be "Inside you."

            Could be worse than that. It could be "On top of you".

            Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
            So that blind people can hate them as well.

              Either way, you wouldn't want to live afterward.

                Your certainty is suspicious.

    When you ask several questions then it is there.

    So if Claude wanted to know the age old question of how many icing combinations are available this thing could spit out the answer in minutes when a Cray would be boiling the water, and taking a month or two.
