Scientific apparatus is by definition “pre-engineering.” It’s low volume and generally designed by a few people with no BOM optimization. OTOH, everything that’s engineered is generally just EE or optics lab stuff that’s already high volume

Then tax the money out of circulation. The solution is obvious. You might start with the segment of the population who hasn’t been paying their taxes.

I am a source. I’m a practicing physicist, and have been cited numerous times. I’ve not passively dismissed anyone’s work, I’m actively dismissing it for good reasons according to my professional judgement.

Myself and my colleagues.

No, that’s a completely healthy level of respect. Maybe you just don’t value your eyes or understand lasers. I’m sorry to tell you that you have to live in a world where other people do value their eyes.

Why are you in a position to make those judgements?

Styropyro is one of the most universally reviled science YouTube channels among practicing scientists. Beyond doing really dumb shit, he runs an absolute cesspool of a discord server overrun with 14 year olds who build very dangerous laser

I think people feel more powerless than apathetic.

Yeah TopoR is really impressive. The thing is, I don't find that the hard problem is just the routing -- it's the combination of the placement and the routing. I find that I place with some idea of how I want to do the routing. I

I love KiCad. At this point the only thing missing for me is repeated subcircuit layout in PCB. There’s a nice plug-in for it but I really want to see it integrated. I’m sure it’s coming soon.

You shouldn’t use autorouters at all. They have essentially no reasonable use.

It’s not significantly terser than other languages, which don’t feature this enormous asymmetry.

This, this right here is the attitude I’m referring to. From now on all I’m gonna say is “GitHub or GTFO.” Show me all this lisp you’re writing, or at least tell me the fantastic product you’ve built with it or GTFO.

Why does it feel like there’s more prose about lisp being written than lisp code? I swear there’s like 15 people writing Common Lisp — Nikodemus, Shirakumo, Stylewarning, Christian Schafmeister, Borodust, the ITA folks, and maybe 2 startups

isn't newspeak where you remove words to flatten language and keep people like you comfortable?

There have been superpositions maintained on the scale of a meter using these fountain experiments. I think the chip traps, SC qubit chips, dot chips, etc… will be much smaller than this.

1. We aren't 2. Everything after the first sentence doesn't make sense. Any system that implements a restricted class of unitaries and features local measurement as described by Born's rule can efficiently solve problems in B

You completely misunderstand how pricing works.

I really like Lisp. I also have the impression that the people talking about Lisp a lot are writing far more prose than code. There are maybe 10 exceptions to this, those being Nikodemus, Shirakumo, Stylewarning, Christian Schafmeister, Bor

Bit chicken and egg -- nobody uses it because nobody writes it. I think once in a while a small team of aficionados will write a project in it and then eventually rewrite as it becomes evident that it's too hard to hire for. At least t

Fast is unimportant -- latency and determinism are paramount. It's true that GC'ed languages have been used in realtime applications but it's always an uphill battle. There are also low-latency GCs that are being rolled out.

The reason 0 is truthy is the same reason they make up nonsense words like nock and hoon for everything. It’s a cult lol.

Clubhouse has a truly degenerate culture. I used to panel on quantum computing discussions. Every quantum-related discussion now veers towards consciousness related claptrap. Now it’s all vaccine denialist, crypto/nft scammers… etc. Cr

it's not that much harder to write software than it is to clean a toilet -- and it's WAY harder being a roofer than writing software. There is little to no coupling between skill, difficulty, and pay.

Robrenz is the favorite machinist of all the YouTube machinists. He might be one of the best in the US.
