Theory of low-dimensional semiconductors and many other theories underlying modern computers were largely incomplete or non-existent 100 years ago, general relativity isn’t that old either and there are substantial gaps in the extremes (e.g

Not even 100 years ago computers could do a few operations per second, today you can put a 100,000,000,000,000 operations per seconds computer in you pocket. I agree though that Alcubierre drive is probably a dud, no one with serious physic

The article is fine, the amount of ads is very annoying.

Perfectly ok? The protests against cutting down the Hambach forest were among the fiercest environmental protests in German history, activists camped out in the forest for years and it took hundreds of policemen to resolve that situation, o

And these policies come into place all by themselves?

I think in many areas the name of the game is to move the entire market to a place where no real competition is possible. Housing in most parts of the world is a good example, there’s no reason prices for housing should’ve gone up 300-400 %

Yeah it’s pretty amazing what they can do, the earliest surviving premature baby was born after just 21 weeks of pregnancy.

I don’t get how you can just use production credentials in these demo systems. Even if they don’t get leaked it would mean Snowflake employees have access to your production data? I’m working in the compliance space in Europe and here it wo

I guess you have to find a balance between being able to have a “normal” event where people can meet each other without special medical precautions and accommodating immuno-compromised and health-anxious people. I’m really glad there’s a se

They sell it as organic which precludes use of antibiotics in most developed markets.

by throwaway63467 2y ago
I think it means that e.g. in the EU antibiotics use would make them lose their certification as organic producer, which probably makes a large difference financially.

Maybe that per-customer rate limits don’t guarantee the whole backend won’t go over capacity? Though I guess many apis will have global rate limits as well for these cases.

Will this work with malicious tags as well? I.e. tags that are designed to not communicate with a given phone but with other devices nearby? Can that be detected? My understanding is that regular tags will communicate with all phones, but m

No that’s not how it works, quantum mechanics cannot be simulated efficiently on a classical computer, the state space grows exponentially with the number of degrees of freedom, every degree has relative phases to every other degree even wh

No even simulation of pure quantum states scales exponentially with the number of degrees of freedom, that’s irrespective of any interpretation or invoking of non-unitary evolution like measurements, just pure simulation of the Schrödinger

Simulate roughly means designing a quantum computer that mimicks the dynamics of a real quantum system and then run a simulation of that to learn how it would behave under certain conditions e.g. to optimize its parameters. Similar to how w

The big one is simulation of quantum systems, I don’t get how that’s not enough by itself? Classical computers will never be able to simulate quantum systems efficiently so we need quantum computers for that. In general achieving arbitrary

Unity is so good and quite affordable, basically there’s zero upfront risk of using it. Similar for Unreal Engine. And then there are tons of other open-source engines like Godot that are also quite good. Rust is great from lots of stuff bu

Given the incident dates far back this seems like a political piece as the EU and Germany currently push for restricting Chinese EV sales in Europe, so I guess they need to create some outrage. Personally I still believe the European car in

These countries banned the app from phones of public officials it seems, that’s a far cry from a full ban.

People love these ugly cars, Mercedes G class is one of the most popular models (and one of the most expensive ones), I think preorders are filled for years to come. Turns out there are tons of jerks that like big, intimidating looking cars

To me it sounds pretty weird to have a “car wash mode”, I have never encountered this in most ICE cars. I guess newer cars are more fragile though due to the multitude of sensors.

That’s pulsatile Tinnitus but what most people hear is more a buzzing or high pitched continuous tone.

by throwaway63467 2y ago
Apparently 60-80 percent of people can hear a sound like a faint buzzing or hissing when inside a perfectly anechoic chamber but Tinnitus is more noticeable in regularly quiet environments.

Probably jaw related, you should have it checked. Can be a posture problem.

Same for me, I think I probably had it since a young age (lots of middle ear infections) but it seemed normal to me so I didn’t realize it was unusual until much later in life. I freaked out about it for a few years but realized it was and

Yeah but I have the impression it’s mostly about revenue tweaking, not evolving the platform in a way that benefits users. Which I guess is normal as it’s a late stage scale up.

I mean IPv4 addresses are “worth” around 50 USD a piece, so the whole address space is approaching a valuation of one trillion USD. This gets into conspiracy theory territory but I wonder if large organizations have a vested interest in kee
