If you only care about adding numbers, you can e.g. do that using water or marbles. You only need to build an XOR gate, an AND gate and an OR gate.
In case of water, the gate will have two inputs as water streams. They should be aligned so that when the streams hit each other, the water fill flow into a cup in the center of the aperture. When the streams don’t hit each other, the water passes the cup into another cup on the bottom. Carrying the water out at the bottom is the XOR gate, carrying the water out at the center is the AND gate and both cups together are the OR gate.
Then it’s just about setting up the circuit and that would be a full adder without electronics.

It’s like you start a game and within a blink of an eye, 5 hours have passed.
Great game

- Comment on Why are quantum computers these gorgeous golden chandelier 4 months ago:
Just wanted to mention at this point that the quantum computers in this post are the so-called superconducting quantum computers. There are also other architectures like ion and neutral atom quantum computers which are basically steel tubes with viewports that contain a ultra high vacuum. Lasers are used to control the ions or atoms.
There’s also photon quantum computers, but they are even more different and not in a really advanced stage yet.

Yeah I’ve been on bupropion for about 1.5 years. Had an increased heart rate in the beginning as well so we started at a very low dosis, then went up step by step. However the side effects vanished after 2 months. I don’t feel hyper active, I just don’t feel super low anymore. It doesn’t make the depression go away but it allows me to work on it, because otherwise I couldn’t even get out of bed

There are amphetamine antidepressants. You can ask your doctor about it (e.g. bupropion, which is not addictive).

Because everyone can spin up their own irc server. It’s not federated though.
