Well, when the interest rates were zero profit was an after thought and many still do not grasp what a rate like 4% implies.

Typically the obfuscation is done with a special compiler as it allows easily to add or alter obfuscation layers. This also allows to serve different obfuscation blobs to different clients to slow down reverse-engineering even further.

I recently needed to write C code to interface with a COM library on Windows. While Microsoft fully supports it, the result is very foreign compared with typical C code. Surely in C one does use tables of function pointers to implement some

The main issue with inheritance is hard coupling of data and code. As code evolve from data modeling point of view it can be advantages to split the state managed by one object into several data structures. With data inheritance such refa

It is hard to filter out SEO rubbish with a low rate of false positives. Spammers became really good at pretending to be real sites. For mail spam various trust-based solutions like server black lists, domain verification etc. were importan

In Ancient Rome blaming gods was never an excuse. For example, there an architect or a chief builder had to spent several nights under the bridge after its opening. In general they followed a rule similar to one in ancient Babylon which exp

The first stage of SpaceX is the most expensive part with nine engines. The second stage is just single engine. Plus SpaceX reuse fairings and the Dragon is also reusable. So re-usable parts are like 95% and expendable parts are vastly chea

So far nobody was able to get such model unless I missed something. And the whole point of the decoherence exercise is to avoid Born rule as it implies a truly classical subsystem and we are back to where we started.

by _0w8t 4y ago
What is necessary is to find in the big wave function a subsystem consisting of, say, a particle with a spin and something approximating a classical measurement device. Such 2-part subsystem should explain then how the classically-looking p

Again, models of decoherence assume existence of an external bath resembling classical state. By interacting with it the system becomes classical itself if it is and the bath is sufficiently big. But it does not explain how that external ba

by _0w8t 4y ago
This notion does not explain how the thermal bath appears. I.e. why the system interacts with a particular bath and not a superposition of such baths? At best the decoherence can try to explain how appearance of a sufficiently big classical

One problem is the preferred basis. Why decoherence selects a particular basis? Another is that decoherence still does not explain the origin of probabilities. I.e. there are models that shows how a pure classical system may arise. But we s

And then the whole notion of the collapse is not really compatible with relativity.

This does not explain how a classical observer gets probabilities that are precisely measured. In universe-as-a-wave-function there are no probabilities. So how exactly do they arise and what they mean?

by _0w8t 4y ago
The article misses that we do not know how classical world that we perceive arises. Ultimately according to QM the whole universe is just single wave function with no probabilities. But this contradicts our experience of the classical world

One of Zen ideas is that thinking hides the true nature of the world since it is based on models and interpretations. So not doing interpretations is a step towards enlightenment.

One can process petabytes without bit flips if one use proper checksums and error correction codes. While that does imposes overhead, it is not big and, thanks to Shannon theorem, can be made arbitrary small with sufficiently big blocks.

Password managers typically offer to store images like document scans. Without per record encryption one needs to send the whole encrypted blob on each modification.
