I had an aha moment with quantum computers a few months ago when reading an article that explained it as probability distributions. I don't think I have the complete understanding in my mind anymore and I wish I had saved the article,

This would've been great a few days ago when I was making officer decisions for a student club of mine. I had it narrowed down to approximately 10 candidates but the process after that was painful due to the balancing of factors like t

Can't say much about recent history, but the deep archaeological past of India (>~5kya) is difficult to study in part because of the environmental conditions. The heat and humidity make preservation of artifacts over long periods of

It would be a shame if someone were to misuse all the data you're collecting about people's first grade teachers and mother's birthdays. Better keep that data safe! :)

Even as someone who isn't blind, I think popularizing more screenless tools (or even tools with just fewer visuals) could be useful for the dev community as a whole. My eye strain is getting especially bad now that we're in quaran

There's a whole universe out there. Europe had "finite land" until it got to the point where the demand for new territorial acquisitions became so high that governments financed colonization of 2 whole new continents. Why wou

Interesting concept, but seems quite subjective and Eurocentric. Out of the 7 labels given, 3 are Europe-focused (Catholic Europe, Protestant Europe, English speaking). If a Muslim made this map, for example, would it make sense for them to

I'd argue that capitalism selects not only for certain types of brains (in a sort of accelerated natural selection geared towards intellectual ability), but for certain memes as well. It selects for "social memes" that determ

My second LSD trip was all about this idea. The entirety of the universe heads in the direction of disorganization and life is the only process that does the opposite. Life is a tool by which the universe organizes itself. There's para

By "my" I guess he's referring to an internal state that has been built up over previous interactions with the external world? So more like: 10 receive information from world 20 do operations on information 25 update

People always talk about the flaws in her philosophy but no one has ever actually pointed them out to me. I'm a young adult now so maybe I don't have the perspective to see these flaws, but please do enlighten me.
