> Factoring becoming a reasonable benchmark is strongly related to quantum computing becoming useful.
Either this relation is not that strong, or factoring should "imminently" become a reasonable benchmark, or useful quantum computing cannot be "imminent". So which one is it?
I think you are the author of the blogpost I linked to? Did I maybe interpret it too negatively, and was it not meant to suggest that the second option is still quite some time away?
