Less than a single clock cycle (0.1 ns) of a fast conventional processor? This feels like the difference between electromechanical computing and transistors (skipping vacuum tubes entirely). These moments in life I hoped for as a kid, when you realise there's a step change between technologies you are familiar with and what's coming next are exhilarating and worrying. The downside is that everything we've created to this point, including all the bad applications, will be magnified by the same factor as the good things. Time to get our house in order.
