The Copenhagen interpretation never defined an observer that way. It's a non-interpretation basically, just shut up and calculate, which is still the most widely accepted approach among scientists, since there are no other falsifiable

Looking out for quantum consciousness in articles about quantum physics would be a good drinking game, though here it is handled with a proper amount of scepticism. The pressure is enormous for writers to include mumbo-jumbo, because people

As someone also from Europe in my experience it's the other way around, people move to Germany and Switzerland for their children to have a decent life, which in the United States is a luxury. The liberals are not the ones in the Unite

Libertarians were never pacifists as much as they were naively selfish, after all conservative economic policies were always about more for me, less for everyone else. This led to inequality and the rise of an oligarchy, the same one that&#

You can have a sponsor button on GitHub. Or you can figure out a way to monetize it as a managed service. I would make a browser extension and charge for storage. It wouldn't cost much to run it, though the egress fees can potentially

By your standards nobody can offer any piece of insight. I admitted that there is a fair bit of generalization going on with me, but your requirement of being infinitely exhaustive is not exactly how you create knowledge either. I don'

That's more or less irrelevant, AMD is one of the many fabless companies like Qualcomm or MediaTek. Intel makes it's own chips, and now wants to make chips for other companies as well. They may end up making AMD processors one day
