no people, you're getting it wrong: high uncertainty is *exactly* the time when you need probabilities

aaaahhh

Yeah, there are limits to how much you can achieve in the real world at home.

Limits to how much you can achieve in the real world at home:

> As will now be shown, to perform an elementary logical operation in time ∆t requires an average amount of energy E ≥ πh̄/2∆t. As a consequence, a system with average energy E can perform a maximum of 2E/πh̄ logical operations per second. A one kilogram computer has average energy E = mc 2 = 8.9874 × 10¹⁶ joules. Accordingly, the ultimate laptop can perform a maximimum of 5.4258 × 10⁵⁰ operations per second.
