Because it's dishonest. You also get all the discomfort and impracticality of a supercar with none of the benefits. You just project some status until people discover what car you're actually driving.

Resistors are quantum mechanically modeled by coupling to a semi-infinite transmission line. See the caldeira-leggett model

For the same reason Apple always restricts choice. "There's 128 gigs of ram in this machine but the battery life is pretty bad." People have no idea what they actually want.

This is going in circles. You still need to put in Born's rule by hand somewhere. If you can explain the origin of Born's rule we'll have gotten somewhere. I also don't understand why you call a trace a slice. It's

Seems fair. I like it! Will definitely give this a shot.

That's exactly what every unifying theory looks for. String theory included. Quite tough to find the thing that has all the symmetries but not too many and does all the right things.

This is a funny example of spread spectrum modulation. You're decreasing the energy at the frequency of the sloshing mode by modulating it with random noise.

They should just be creative within set requirements... just like how all creativity works Apple envisioned a purpose for the bar. If all apps convey a consistent message about what the bar is there for, it will become easy to use. You will

no, but averaging over most developers it's way better.

You can do it with a simple boost converter. Additionally I don't think you really need a 555 or anything. There are self-resonant converters that should do the trick.

But scaling laws should predict that you should need many, many more transistors than qubits to beat a gate quantum computer. For an adiabatic quantum computer something similar should hold.

Well the burden to prove they've made a quantum computer is on them, no?

You have to be very careful about which multiverse theory you refer to. There is a Many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics which don't lead to any different physics. It's fundamentally untestable and doesn't matter. S

Well... one infinity that pops up is solved by regulators. This might be one that you get when you try to understand the casimir force. In this case, you impose an cutoff at some scale to make the expression finite, but a function of the cu

So what's the trick to using APL if you don't have the keyboard? Do most people use the custom keyboard? What about with laptops? Is there some sort of mnemonic for what symbols correspond to what letters? Do people put stickers o

Optimizing Python generally means using numpy, cython, or the C FFI. Or numba. Or theano. Or pypy. Unless you farm out what you're doing to another code generator or compiled library, Python can't be made fast. Try making matrix m

I think if people read Curtis's writing under Mencius Moldbug, nobody would touch urbit with a ten foot pole. He believes that white people are genetically endowed with a higher IQ than black people. Why are people giving him money? Th

I don't really understand why people are writing off the desktop in general. For engineering and design and lab software nobody wants tablets. I guess this is all niche but it's a big niche. Do I really want my next finite element

Most of these new charting libraries seem to be specialized to "data science" or statistics or whatever. R's plotting thing and ggplot are quite nice for stats... most of the javascript plotting libraries are okay. I still ha

What is with hacker news' obsession with pilot wave theory? Many in quantum information consider uncertainty to be a feature, not a bug.
