I regard swissinfo.ch as basically propaganda but they once made the point that direct democracy can be faster than populism at addressing citizens' (cognitive) needs: https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/democracy/d

An analogy which is closer to Google's experiment: measuring versus calculating the energy gaps in benzene to an arbitrary accuracy. It is "verifiably" faster to measure those with state of the art "quantum tools" b

Why use the subtext? In the peer review (pp30-31), the authors > acknowledge [that] Hamiltonian learning of an actual physical system has not been performed [and] have therefore further de-emphasized the quantum advantage claim in the re

Thanks! I've squirreled your perspectives here as they are likely to be useful at some point.. (Esp. the "reification" of TRI-breaking)

I was disabused of such pretty quick when I realized I had to repeat the same exercise over multiple sessions to replace in the students' heads Aristotelian physics with Newton's 3rd law XD. At the same time, I learnt to design a

Buried in there was a great argument that all identarians are playing a right-wing game (& some are even getting co-opted.) For the left to co-opt the right-identarians who are unwilling to come out as "class-warriors", they w

I'm sure some of you here comment only when you are drunk. What are your expert takes? (Not asking for a friend) In particular, how do you feel when you do that? Mildly elated? Slightly cheesed-off but still cheery?

The path from Lee-Yang to Yang-Mills is short (~months) but the shortness is instructive (It's more than just a lesson in style, imho. Lee-Yang could become more famous than Yang-Mills, in time! Like you're implying there-- that w

True. Rubber ducks for self-debugging are uh mostly overrated. A trained therapist--- sometimes free-of-charge-- works for most issues where some would rubber duck (reminder to self)

Kids are a great mirror --sometimes their unforgiveness (beyond mere unforgivingness/mercilessness :) is a spur to get better.. Are some voices of discontent not simply expressing a desire to make things better for others? Those should

Sorry: gauge- field . It's poetic and you can pardon the french but the combination is alien. Poetry is hard: a poetic way to say "co-ordinate transformation" or "tensors" could help students to calculate with them.

In order to explain his impact to people, someone could find a friendlier name for "gauge"? Some say that list of stylists would not be meaningful without von Neumann (although Dyson might say that frogs have no style*) https:&#x
