Quantum Error Correction Goes FOOM
🔸The author expects qubit quality to increase drastically in the next few years due to recent experiments showing superexponential error suppression. This is because qubit count is increasing exponentially, allowing for error suppression to grow superexponentially.

The Fisher-Yates shuffle is backward
🔸The Fisher-Yates shuffle is a standard algorithm for pseudo-randomly permuting elements in a list, but a simpler "forward" version exists that achieves the same uniform distribution. This "forward" version, also known as the "inside-out" Fisher-Yates shuffle, applies the same set of random transpositions in reverse order, resulting in a uniformly distributed permutation.
