No.

The long explanations boil down to this: quantum computers (so far) are better (given a million qubits) than classical computers at (problems that are in disguise) simulating quantum computers.

  given a million qubits ...
also last time I checked the record was 80 qubits and with every doubling of the cubits the complexity of the system and the impurities and the noise are increasing. so it's even questionable whether there will ever be useful quantum computers

Just like fusion energy it is pointless and you are not allowed to have excitement about it because some anonymous stranger on HN said so.
