I don’t know about unbound so I can’t really compare… OpenNic is not run by for-profit corporations, which I think is a good thing.

Bring this rock close to this other rock, and voilà. It creates magic heat!

Don’t get too close, because it will curse you to an agonizing death years later. However you can use this to boil water and channel the power of thunderstorms.

I’d like to see the triangle grow two additional sides, becoming a 3-sided pyramid. Then, a fourth pops up, turning into a typical 4 sided one. But then, a fifth appears, then a sixth, then more and more untill it becomes a food cone

Then it flips over and gets filled with ice cream. There, the perfect food pyramid!

Entropy and complexity are not quite the same thing.

Low entropy is every Lego pieces separated by color and size, high entropy is every Lego pieces mixed up together evenly. Complex creations correspond to medium entropy.

If you compute actions of living beings, you’ll realize it acts as a catalyst to increase entropy.

It’s either up or down whatever the direction.

If you measure 100%up-0%down then you rotate your frame of reference by 90°, you automatically get 50%up-50%down… (iirc)

Welcome to quantum field theory! There is a single field for every type of particle in the standard model, but electrons are not made of photons.

i_love_FFT , 27 days ago

Some properties of the electron are not present in photons, such as the lepton number and the electric charge.

It’s possible to create an electron positron pair out of a couple of high energy photons, but that is also true with many other elementary particles.

For a good intuitive introduction to this topic, i suggest Feynman’s book QED www.amazon.ca/…/0691164096/

It’s a short read, and explains how positrons can be seen as electrons going backwards in time!

i_love_FFT , 27 days ago

True! Thanks for the clarification, it’s been a while since i played with the maths of quantum physics!

After you measure a spin as 100% up, the state will be close to that for a while, si the next measurement has higher chance of being up, with this probability slowly decreasing with time.

That sounds super interesting!

It is! Although it only deals with the day-to-day working of electromagnetism (quantum electrodynamics), but this explains the working of everything in our current life apart from nuclear power station and fusion in the sun’s core.

The text was written before we developed the model for nuclear forces (strong and weak), so it doesn’t touch that subject. We know now that sound and weak interactions work in a very similar way to QED, with extension for notre charges.

All the vegans and vegetarians I’ve met in real life were chill dudes and dudettes. One was an engineer and semi-pro skateboarder that was always making people feel good and happy. Another one was a solid rock climber always smiling.

I know more annoying people complaining about vegans, always grumpy and being proud of always eating meat. I also know this cool swing dance instructor girl who only eats meat, so it’s also good.

Here as well security forces tend to act as violent bullies while facing no consequences… I think we have a four letter acronym for that as well.

What happens to elements with powers of x above 3? Say we multiply the example vector above with itself. We would end up with a component d^2^x^6^, witch is not part of the P3R vector space, right?

Do we need a special multiplication rule to handle powers of x above 3? I’ve worked with quaternions before, which has " special" multiplication rules by defining i j and k.

Mines are designated war crimes by the Geneva convention Ottawa treaty because of the indiscriminate killing. Many years ago, good human right lawyers could have extended that to drones… (Source: i had close friends in international law)

But i feel like now the tides have changed and tech companies have influenced the general population to think that ai is good enough to prevent “indiscriminate” killing.

Edit: fixed the treaty name, thanks!

Is it actually ethically acceptable to control distribution of something that naturally shares itself?

Before computers, it actually required some energy to copy the content of a book. With computers now, the action of reading an ebook will actually copy it from the hard drive to the ram. If your book is on the cloud, there’s even more copying going on. It actually takes more efforts to erase temporary copies (ex: from local cache)!

Digital copying is not the same as physical copying.

Bunyan sounds the same as some old French Canadian swear word, but is written differently. I think the real spelling would be something like “bon yenne”, and also resembles a French Canadian folklore named “Bon Jean”.

If the local language is Cantonese, but the government is forcing to use Mandarin in law and other official businesses, to me it sounds the same as forcing Ukrainians to speak Russian (in the old USSR), Catalans to speak Spanish, and French Canadian to speak English. It’s soft cultural assimilation.

I don’t know much about the local language usage in HK, so i could be wrong though.

i_love_FFT , 4 months ago

I don’t know, I didn’t read the article. I try to make as little assumptions as I can… It could just add easily be a native that trained in the UK, but then i suppose it would have been mentioned.

Which language do you think the government should use/expect from it’s employes in HK?

Google map is late to the game. NORAD has radars and has been doing it for much longer.

Due to the uncertainty principle, they can know where he’s going or where he is, but not both at the same time.
