Agreed - There certainly are other apps that provide better discovery, but nothing that is as seamlessly integrated to where I'm already listening to music.

Re:Ask HN: How can I automatically scan and catalog a mountain of books?

The amazon seller app does exactly this. I think eBay might have it built in as well, but I’m fairly certain with amazon you can scan the barcode or cover of a book.

Agreed - I looked at the code hoping for a good example of async in python as suggested by the “at once” in the title.

Personally, I dont mind the touchbar - I have Caps Lock perma bound to Escape and rarely require the use F keys.
On that note though, I don't think I'd ever pay for the touch bar though if I was given a choice.

In the short term, yes, while the number of qubits is small and even smaller when you consider logical qubits require multiple real qubits to account for error.
In simplified terms though, for every logical qubit you add to the system, you effectively double the power of the machine. To double the power of your GPU stack, you'd need 2x more GPUSs each time. There is also the additional caveat of the type of problem - not every problem currently suited for a gpu is going to be better run on a qpu.
