That's not quantum supremacy. It's about doing something on a quantum computer that would be infeasible on a standard computer. This is because in some scenarios a single calculation by a quantum computer could be equivalent to

Sounds like a Ponzi scheme

So, language develops due to the environment it is in, which also affects people's perception? That still doesn't sound biological

I thought the Planck scale was way on the QM side of things. My understanding is that the Planck scale is so small we theoretically can never test QM or any other processes below it, making the Planck scale the limits to our understanding

The problem is trying to minimize human trafficking or suggesting that it's ok as long as the victim appears to be willing.

I don't have the context of the original quote, but from what you wrote, none of those are inaccurate. The most common problem with human trafficking is that the trafficcer places the victim in a position where they are or appear to b

There were cgi dinos as well. Remember the First scene with the brontosauruses, or the stampede scene? Or the scene when the raptors jump on the Tyrannosaurus?

Do you have a source for that?

Literally all of these could occur more cheaply without deorbiting the spacecraft.

But they should at least be compatible

Work should aid in your underlying purpose, not be your underlying purpose.

Agreed. Seems like a lot easier way to kill a missile than using another missile.

The NSA is responsible for setting standards for DoD networks. They don't even secure DoD networks, that's still the network owner. DHS has a similar role for government networks outside the DoD, but that's a complete mess,

Organic and sustainable are not the same thing.

Yes, normally some sort of real time OS.

My understanding is the transition to a white hole exists instead of a singularity at the interior of the black hole, and is therefore hidden by the event horizon. When the event horizon shrinks to the Planck length, the white hole is expo

That's only according to some interpretations of quantum mechanics. (I.e. Copenhagen) Other interpretations, such as Many Worlds or Pilot Wave are deterministic.

Being taller may mean they had better nutrition as a child. Which I imagine would also lead to increased intelligence.

Secession was starting the war. You can't declare independence and expect a country not to respond. The southern states knew that secession was illegal and would bring about war. The Confederacy started the war in every important wa

You have to have a theory to test before you can test it. If they are stating as fact something that hasn't been proven, that's a problem. If they are testing the assumptions which closest matches the data, that is science.

Non-locality has nothing to do with randomness. How does the quote apply to that argument?
953.
by enkid 8y ago
I think that last part is a joke.
954.
by enkid 8y ago
Arbitrary doesn't mean random. It means chosen randomly, as in any Turing Machine chosen randomly will work in that situation. The output isn't random, the output for one Turing Machine should be the same for all Turing Machines

It's not like entropy will halt in that time. Worrying about efficiency of each individual calculation is a little ridiculous when you are wasting billions of years for the ambient temperature to drop.

The idea of modifying general relativity is called as MOND and has been thoroughly investigated by physicists. There are still proponents, but I think the models are not matching the observational data. Also, the fact that Galaxies with s

It's like Edison. He got all the geniuses together and gave them a place to experiment. He probably got his hands a little dirty, but for the most part someone else is doing the hard work. Having a single name attached definitely gi

Seneca would not agree. He thought how you lived was much more important than how long you lived. The stoa did not view death as a bad thing, rather as a change in state.

by enkid 9y ago
Thinking about death in a healthy way is a good idea, which is what exposing yourself to it would do.

Given the choice, I would like to do more than just make money when something takes the majority ( or a large minority) of my time. A job can have meaning, and for me that makes it a lot was it? We to wake up in the morning.
