Decoherence is easiest to see in a MW setting. The basic observed fact is that at some point you need an observer that makes a clear, consistent observation. Decoherence is a concept about an isolated state (that can be multi-valued, like d

Well after all that was how QM was invented back in the days as well (they had to find underlying explanations for the probabilistic experiment outcomes). But see the PBR theorem ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBR_theo

Interesting counterpoint: a NN is not just activation. It's also learning, and multilayer stacks learn differently depending on depth even if they are entirely linear. This seems to be an artefact due to the optimizer in use (SGD for e

An interesting thing is that ReLu (which is absolutely the most common activation function) has a zero derivative over half the space its defined, and backprop still works (most of the time :). There are leaky ReLU to give some slope to the

This project doesn't use AI to improve the image, they use it to estimate the EMI noise from the surroundings. So they're not "filling in the gaps" in the actual resulting 3D voxel volume with fantasy voxels (which I hop

QM/QFT is radically simpler to simulate than classical mechanics. It's infinitely more expensive though in terms of pure CPU speed though. With classical mechanics you need to timestep and integrate F=ma and all kinds of associa

You have billions of identical copies of the DNA molecules probably, so it might matter less if there are some breaks or errors when you sequence, if you sequence very thoroughly.. even when sequencing fresh DNA you have lots of read errors

The A1000/A500 reigned from 1985 to 1990 or so, more or less the same platform for 5 years, a platform I could write all programs I wanted to in pure assembler, and eventually knowing every register and bits of HW in the entire system.

I've been a Linux coder and user forever, and I didn't know that bash "reloads" a script while running if the file is modified. Good to learn before I also delete a whole filesystem due to this! :)

Booking.com, expedia etc. have options to pay in advance. They'll refund you later if you cancel. Some listings seem to have this as the only option? I didn't look recently.

If you don't take the norm, you're essentially not making a "measurement" and then QM is linear and simple. It's also non-predictive of reality :)

To be fair, the Ronin car chases (and a lot of similar) exploit camera angles and FOVs to make a slow moving car feel fast. So they are not as realistic as you think either..
