Is it basically an array of coupled oscillators with a nuance that the oscillators are quantum and reading or changing their state is nontrivial?

I'd rather see two animated maps: global heat map and global sea level map. This should speak for itself.

A natural upgrade of this chart: 1. Analyze titles only to get a sense of what narrative is being pushed. Titles are usually made of screaming hot-words to grab attention. 2. Draw each word as a colored circle on a 2D plane, using some word

Rather than hiring architects as landscapers and paying them a lot to trash their skills, I tell candidates upfront that the job is to mow a lawn and the pay is appropriate for the job.

"Our findings indicate a fundamental genetic program that determines the neuronal circuitry and behavior of worker bees" This dogma - that bees are little machines "programmed" by genetic code - won't lead very far.

Most of the software is more like landscaping than architecture, but software engineers want to build fancy bridges and gothic temples.

IMO, it's pretty simple: freedom must be bundled with responsibility. However if a company doesn't want responsibility, it should be given immunity, but in return it must give up control over user content to some extent. In practi

The algorithm is pretty simple: show random videos, select categories that invoke the most reaction, show more random videos from those categories and so on. That's why the algorithm often converges to a local maximum and keeps showing

TikTok does to the Canadian people what the rulers of Canada do to its people. That's why the govs are mad at TikTok: they can't ban its methods, for it's the same methods the govs use to fool their peoples. TikTok simply ide

If 4-day work week brings the same profits, then why not to make 25% more with 5-day work week? If 4-day work week brings less money, then why not to return to 5-day work week? At the end of the day, corporations extract as much value from

The answer probably lies in the wealth distribution in Japan. In the US 50% of the nation owns 2-3% of the nation wealth. For Japan I haven't been able to find this number, but I bet it's closer to 0.5% and that's why common

Much simpler: make every sentence contain an even number of words. Then the chances of 10 sentences in a row to be all even is about 0.1%.

Corporations are meant to be well oiled machines that extract money from the sands of humanity. The harkonnen's harvester from Dune would be a good analogy. This machine is meant to be soulless, blindly doing the will of its owner. Tod

I'm looking for something like this, but more advanced. The common problem with such tutorials is that they stop with the simplest geometry (square) and the simplest finite difference method. What's unclear to me is how do I model

I feel sorry for this guy, but he will be alright in the end. Corporations create a facade of a rosy kindergarten, they lure in smart but immature guys like him, extract their energy and once they look depleted, they gaslight them into thin

Could you write a blogpost-style article on how to model the shallow water wave equation on a sphere? The article would start with the simplest possible method, something that could be implemented in short C program, and would continue with

LLMs simply answer the question: given this corpus of text you've read so far, what's the most probable next word? If half of the training dataset says the next word in similar conditions is A, and the other half says it's B,

NFL is a microcosm of american politics. Two opponent teams, each has a trainer, a rich donor, some ideology and millions of fanatics who vote for their team no matter what. It may seem like the goal is to win the game on the stadium, but b

It depends on the school of thought, but the common explanation is that wisdom is knowledge of Truth backed with experience. Not the kind of truth about irrelevant things, but the Truth about the nature of life. And it must be backed with e

It's more like splitting the timeline in half: in one branch it's heads, in the other it's tails, and you don't know which timeline you're in until you look at the coin. The Bell's inequality says the coin has

Politicians, executives, dictators, warlords - all of them will use AI if it gives them an edge over competitors. They won't have a choice: once a good enough AI is there, there will be those who follow its advice and those who haven&#

Materialism is such a religion. It's sciency and emotion-free, so it appeals to the secular minds.
