Re:The repercussions of a typo in C++ & Rust on Saturday September 06, 2025 @05:12AM (#45147771)
while doing math... would you call a missing sign a typo rather than a mistake? if so, anything can be a typo...
As long as you accept subjectivity, you must also accept that logical inference isn't really useful... because the observer can add rules at any given time - without any logical constraint - thus preferences aren't deterministic... so a random option is as good as it can be.
Yes, I get that..., my issue was with its application (a movie recommendation)... the idea itself isn't qualified for the quantum realm...
my point is, the quantum part isn't (/wasn't) necessary in the first place...
A recommendation is in the domain of subjectivity, meaning that there is no consensus on the correctness... so, even if the algorithm is faster, its usefulness shouldn't be superior to a random pick based on some matching criteria... which is already as fast as it can be
