Scott Aaronson Takes on DWave & Google's Quantum Annealing Speed up Claims

In retrospect, I should’ve been suspicious, when more than a year went by with no major D-Wave announcements that everyone wanted me to react to immediately. Could it really be that this debate was over—or not “over,” but where it always should’ve been, in the hands of experts who might disagree vehemently but are always careful to qualify speedup claims—thereby freeing up the erstwhile Chief D-Wave Skeptic for more “rewarding” projects, like charting a middle path through the Internet’s endless social justice wars?

Nope.
