During the end questions yes, but at timestamp 43:20: "But I personally find [Many-Worlds] takes a heavier toll on my intuition than I'm willing to concede."

I watched your video. Viewing measurement and entanglement as the same thing or closely related is ineresting, and the EPRG experiment is clever. I've never seen that before. Thanks for that! I need to think about it for a bit. But

The most interesting thing about it is that at one point people thought it was a paradox.

Well, it's better to get your spouse to cook for you.... But baring that, restaurant food is generally too salty and fatty and light on fresh vegetables to be healthy to rely on for most meals. There are exceptions, but those restaura

I always thought the "read more" was to track how many people read the article for analytics and ad purposes.

What exactly are you talking about? Supporting your underage children is a moral responsibility in my book. If you're talking about filial responsibility laws, then yea, you have a point; it's somewhere that I disagree with the

The last thing I need is a realtime Facebook now. I feel like I should build in a delay of ~1 week to everything I do.

Anything people believe strongly is an aphrodisiac is one via the placebo effect.

Read part two of the article. You can't stack memory indefinitely -- you'll get a black hole.

Crap, you're right. I should have said Omega.

You're totally missing his argument. If you scale RAM cubicly at any positive density, as you are suggesting, eventually you will achieve the matter density sufficient for your RAM to gravitationally collapse into a black hole. If the

Re-read the "The theoretical limit" section in part II. His arguments depend on the physics in this particular universe, not how computers happen to be built.
408.
by zeroer 10y ago
That's explicitly mentioned in the article.

Yea, I thought about that, but he doesn't mean theta, either. What he's giving is a physical impossibility proof -- you can't do memory access better than sqrt(N). When he gives a physical example of a machine of arbitrary

Exactly!

by zeroer 10y ago
I wouldn't. It's nice to show these effects in practice. In fact, I would have added a part 1.5 that gave theoretical bounds for how much heat can be dissipated from a volume that contains N bits.

The best/worst/average issue is orthogonal to the definition of what big-O means. The time it take an algorithm has best/worst/average cases, and each of these is a function and thus is a member of big-O classes. The de

Did you read part II of the series? It's a deeper analysis than you seem to give him credit for. His argument is that in this universe, the specific laws of physics we have here enforce the property that memory access takes o(sqrt(N))
414.
by zeroer 10y ago
The author gets the definition of big-O completely backwards. Every single time the author says "Big-O" he means "little-o". Here are the definitions: https://cathyatseneca.gitbooks.io/data-structures-an

If there are no particles, then how do you know what $N$ should be?

I get what the author is saying. But as a home owner, I'll be spending 98% of my time in the house, not staring at the exterior. I'd like to see criticisms of the experience of living in a McMansion.

Trump's words are no different than the reality of what's been done by the past 2~3 presidents. The important difference now is that the torture, etc., is a campaign promise rather than something the administration was ashamed
420.
by zeroer 10y ago
That's true in a very technical sense that Trump is only spouting speech at this point. (And of course technically correct is the best kind.) But it's worth pointing out that in his speech, Trump is promising extra-judicial murde
