Thats not what quantum mechanics shows at all.

What is being described is the pop-sci version quantum mechanics.

That version has people believing in multiverses and wormholes and other nonsense that is not falsifiable like magic and has no evidence like magic but people believe in it because people desperately want magic to be real.

roguetrick ,

Quantum tunneling effect is very much magic, on the same way that relativistic time is magic.

Zoop ,

I believe it’s a fantasy/for funsies mock-up of what the gaming store/launcher application Steam maybe could have looked like if it was done in a style similar to Windows 7’s styling and other computer applications and websites during that era. Looks like maybe MySpace and Windows Live Messenger may have been some inspiration

I hope that helps. I may be leaving stuff out or wording things oddly since I’m pretty brain foggy due to health issues, but no one had answered ya (that I can see) and I wanted to try to help ya out 😅

P4ulin_Kbana , (edited )

Thank you very much for willing to help, I hope you’re okay! 🤗

P.S.: I’ve seen your other comments (forgive me if that bothers you) and I would like to say that you’re an amazing person! I like how you always treat others with respect and kindness, this world surely needs more people like you! Please don’t forget to take care of yourself and remember that you’re loved! 👋

Is there a separate RecursionError in modern versions of Python? Been a couple years but I remember it just being a RuntimeError

@SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I haven’t really done much recursion in Python, but can’t we do a tail-recursive version so that it (almost) never reaches recursion depth issues?

lightnegative ,

We cannot, Python explicitly doesn’t do TCO.

Qemu?

AVincentInSpace ,

Quick Emulator

(At least it was when it was written. Rosetta blows it out of the water.)

possiblylinux127 ,

What is Rosetta?

AVincentInSpace ,

Apple’s x86->ARM transpiler

(It accomplishes this by “cheating” and turning on a feature only found in Apple Silicon that make concurrent memory access rules more similar to x86, but still)

possiblylinux127 ,

How does that apply to qemu?

AVincentInSpace ,

Qemu is an emulator designed to allow you to run software for one architecture on another, much like Rosetta does. Qemu has gained the ability to run native virtual machines using hardware virtualization, which it does astonishingly well, but its original purpose is emulation. In terms of quickness, though, more modern offerings run circles around it

possiblylinux127 ,

Do you have benchmarks to confirm that hardware accelerated virtualization on qemu is slow? It is what powers a lot of things including hypervisors like Proxmox. It also supports hyper-v acceleration. As far as Apple is concerned no one is really running a Mac so that isn’t a useful comparison.

AVincentInSpace ,

I didn’t say hardware accelerated virtualization on qemu was slow. In fact, it’s one of the best performing hypervisors out there. When used as an emulator, however, its performance leaves something to be desired.

possiblylinux127 ,

Even as a emulator it is very solid. Name one emulator that is faster. (Rosetta is a translator not an emulator)

AVincentInSpace ,

…the difference being? Transpilers still count as emulators.

possiblylinux127 ,

They really don’t. A emulator is doing all of the hardware in software. A translator is just converting instructions.

AVincentInSpace ,

By that definition, qemu-[architecture] is a translator. qemu-system-[architecture] is an emulator.

And it’s still a worse translator than Rosetta. Because Rosetta cheats.

Quantum mechanics is not magic. Magic specifies the outcome, but not how a system evolves to reach that outcome. Quantum mechanics has precise equations describing how a system will evolve over time, but is famously bad at describing the outcome.

By the same token, we can see that thermodynamics and conservation laws, while widely accepted, are magic. I have heard legend of a deeper magic known as “Lagragians”, although knowledge of that lost art remains confines to the warlocks’ ivory tower.

Moonguide , to asklemmy in Are your grandparents and parents nice or tolerant people?

My dad ain’t nice but he can be tolerant, my mum can be nice but her extremely narrow worldview does not let her be tolerant, and my grandma is neither nice nor tolerant. Never met really met my other grandparents to comment.

They never challenged their conservative upbringing, and never faced progressive values until well into their adulthood, since social issues move at a glacial pace where I’m at. I don’t blame them for having those values at some point, but they should strive to change (well, my parents at least).

I_Clean_Here , to youshouldknow in YSK Americans, check to see if you can vote. Its real quick.

This system is so fucking dumb. Get with the times, America

Passerby6497 ,

You assume that those in power want the problem to be fixed. The republicans actively fight making voting a holiday (going as far as saying that dems pushing for it are trying to manipulate elections) and have criminalized giving people stuck in lines for hours (again, as intended) food or water. And since our system was designed by and for wealthly land/slave holders, its not designed to work for the will of the people.

Pulptastic , to asklemmy in Are your grandparents and parents nice or tolerant people?

Mom is cool, super accepting. My dad is a weirdo trumper. My MIL is also accepting of many but is a bit racist and not yet accepting of trans folks.

All the grands were worse. The surviving one isn’t overtly so but is passive aggressive about it, so better than my dad at least.

NauticalNoodle , to asklemmy in Lemmy's how do you feel about Kamala Harris now that she picked Tim Walz? Will you vote for her or the orange?

I will be voting Green regardless. As far as I’m concerned Harris was the 2nd or 3rd most conservative candidate in the 2020 Democrat primaries out of ±14 candidates. She was only in front of Bloomberg and maybe Biden on the spectrum. Her replacing Biden was always a very real possibility for anyone that actually understands U.S. government & politics as well as the whole ‘aging-process.’

I don't expect to win but I'd rather vote for who I want and lose than vote for who I don't want and win.

What about people who don't have that luxury, who may literally not make it to the end of a second Trump administration with their life undestroyed by it? Hispanic immigrants are the most obvious candidates, although honestly it could expand to encompass quite a few people.

Why are you not worried about Trump ending the democratic machinery that you might use to vote in a Green candidate in the future? Trump seems like just as big a disaster for third-party democracy as he does for two-party democracy.

Do you agree with Stein about disbanding NATO? Is that one of those things you would rather vote for and lose than etc etc? I actually think most of her platform looks excellent if it could be pulled off, but that one is a little bit of a random red flag in the mixture.

NauticalNoodle , (edited )

If the only real choice is between a “fascist” that will end Democracy and somebody who doesn’t represent me, then you can’t really argue that we live in a Democracy and then there is nothing to defend.

If it’s your fellow people you are concerned about protecting, then I’d advise you to check your candidate’s policy because the Green’s Policy has a way stronger humanitarian bend to it. -In fact, I’d also like to direct you to the Democrats recently proposed Immigration bill if you’re worried about protecting the Hispanic and immigrant population

I’m Indifferent to Nato considering it’s such a huge financial sacrifice the people of our country are making to perpetuate a military industrial machine that kills hundreds of thousands while also disproportionately protecting countries that are not our own. perhaps those countries should take the mantle and pay to support themselves as the ‘World Police.’ If we cut our military budget by 50% we still have the second largest military in the world. -We still don’t have a publicly funded Healthcare option and I’m suppose to care about sustaining NATO? No, that’s not a high priority to me.

[Edit] Also In response to what if trump wins and ends my ability to vote third party, I’d say “what if I vote democrat and they end my ability to vote third party?” I ask this because that was a very real concern after covid when Democrat governors were all too happy to kick the Green party off of the various state ballots for not getting enough signatures while making exceptions for their own parties.

Interesting

How about Navalny? Also what's your take on the Venezuelan election?

I'm not asking that implying that the answer will be any particular type of way, just curious what you think about those issues.

NauticalNoodle ,

Outlook not so good for Navalny long-term, regardless. Perhaps Germany, UK, France should spend more of their own budget to wind up military production to help their own neighbor. We need to stay The f*** out of Central & South American Politics full-stop.

MagicShel ,

You can’t lose a vote you aren’t even in the running for. That’s like writing in Charlie Brown and then saying you lost the vote. You didn’t; you just didn’t cast a meaningful vote for President. You’re changing nothing. You’re not moving the Overton window even a hair to the left. You’re just sitting on the sidelines.

But you know if you give zero shits about the presidency and just want to vote in local races, that’s fair, I suppose.

NauticalNoodle ,

Cry more.

MagicShel ,

What on earth would lead you to believe I’m crying? You’re irrelevant by your own account. I’ll worry way more about people who actually give a damn.

Voting isn’t only about winning. It’s also about making your voice heard. In hard Blue or Red states an individual vote won’t likely make a difference. If a 3rd party got enough of the vote Republicans and Democrats would be scrambling over each other to make their party platform more palatable to that 3rd party.

More power to them, beats not voting.
