This game isn't writing the numbers (complex-valued probability amplitudes of states, classical EM vectors even) anywhere so it's going to be pretty hard to relate what you're seeing here to the math that you'll find if you look up interference elsewhere.

I'll make an attempt here, though. I think the effect on level 4 is totally classical so it shouldn't take too much background.

1. The solution to a problem involving light is called a wavefunction, which is just a name assigned to functions that map position and time onto what the wave is doing at that position and time. I.E. for a sound wave, W(x: position, t: time) => p: air pressure.

2. The meat of a "wave equation" is essentially also a function, but it's higher-order. It maps wavefunctions onto wavefunctions, I.E. consider high-order function L, such that L(W: wavefunction) => X: wavefunction. The name for this map is an "operator," by the way.

3. We can set up operators L(W) so that they map all "true and physical" wavefunctions on to the zero-function, f(x,t) = 0. This contrivance is the job of physicists to design; so for our discussion let's just take it that for every physically possible W(x,t), it is the case that L(W(x,t)) = 0. (And vice-versa, every solution to that equation is physically possible.) The equation L(W) = 0 is called the "wave equation," by the way.

3. It is a property of L that L(W + Q) = L(W) + L(Q) for wavefunctions W and Q. This implies that if L(W) = 0 and L(Q) = 0, then L(W + Q) = L(W) + L(Q) = 0+0 = 0. Therefore, since physical possibility <-> L(W) = 0, then we may conclude that the sum of any two physically possible wavefunctions W and Q is another physically possible wavefunction, W+Q.

4. Ignore time and look at my nice graph[0]. This illustrates adding two functions (there A(x) and B(x) ) which also happen to be solutions to the wave equation. Play around with the parameter p, (whose purpose is to let you select A to be one of many horizontally offset versions of itself) and see if you can make A + B do anything noteworthy.

5. Hopefully in looking at my graph, you have noticed that for some values of p, A+B became flat everywhere. Now, I can finally explain what's going on with level 4. When the beamsplitter produces two beams from one, the two functions it shoots out have two different values of p, the dynamics detailed in [1]. If two beams are incident on the splitter, four beams will shoot out, and since some of them are overlapping in space they will add and you'll see the superposition effects. See my drawing [2]. (By the way, the parameter p is called phase, and the verb for the thing the waves to under superposition is called interference.)

Hopefully this is helpful and sheds some light on the underlying physics!

I thought about this in great depth with a company I was working on a few years ago. I built it as a Financial data API and "Oauth for finance" but the ultimate idea was always - "Can I make it so that users can glean real value from owning their own data".

Put another way - "What would a world be like where a user could simply sell their data to the highest bidder for the right to buy their business?"

This could mean a lot of things to me it meant don't show me ads unless I ask for them and then I'll agree to take offers from all of these providers and I'll choose the best offer to give my business to.

It is the reason I honestly don't have Alexa or google home or something else in my home.

Because ultimately I believe the system that wins should be one that let's me choose and that gives me value by tying me into any number of providers I wish and not by letting one large conglomerate into my home with only the ecosystem of their choosing.

Ultimately I'm not sure if enough people think like me but if you do feel free to drop me a line I'd love to chat!

"Beginning in February of 2018, communication over DigitalOcean Private Network IPs will be isolated within the account or team where they were created"

Great news, definitely a step in the right direction. The fact that DO's "private network" isn't really private is something that's not very well known I think (try googling for the topic).

Until then: Use DO firewalls to whitelist only the services connections you want. Their firewalls treat private and public networks equally -> no more publicly accessible NoSQL databases :)

> UBI proponents should be cognizant of stagflation.

Everyone should be. =)

> In reality the Phillips curve was too simple.

Yes. The Phillips curve relationship between inflation and unemployment only holds under certain conditions. Policymakers thought they could stimulate the economy by causing inflation, but this kind of thing isn't going to work if the underlying problem with your economy is that you have less access to resources (in this case, oil).

So the policymakers made a mistake in the 1970's. And, as you say, the expectations of inflation led to institutional inflation, which is basically just inflation that reinforces itself out of habit.

Small amounts of inflation can be okay because they help the economy more evenly absorb adverse conditions. For example, instead of firing a bunch of your workers, inflation allows you instead to choose not to give people raises. But there's a limit to how much benefit you can get out of inflation.

> UBI could lead to stagflation because the income allotments and any increases would be according to some formula known ahead of time. This means that producers could anticipate demand and simply raise prices to soak up any income increases.

Hmm. I'm not sure this is right. UBI or not, you need to keep inflation in check. But there's a lot more to inflation than just the amount of money in circulation.

In order to keep prices stable, the amount of spending in the economy must stay aligned with the amount of actual stuff being traded. Generally speaking, monetary policy keeps prices stable. If there otherwise would be deflation, monetary policy incentivizes borrowing (lowers interest rates) to increase the amount of spending in the economy. If there would otherwise be inflation, monetary policy disincentivizes borrowing (raises interest rates).

UBI, on its own, won't cause inflation, let alone stagflation. In fact, it can lessen the need for monetary policy to encourage borrowing in the private economy. Through the monetary policy response it induces, basic income can take some of the fuel away from the speculative bubbles that tend to destabilize the economy every so often.

However, Circles hasn't described how they plan to implement monetary policy. Without solving the problem of price stability, they won't have much of a currency, let alone a basic income. A flat increase in the amount of the basic income isn't going to cut it. Monetary policy must be able to respond to various economic conditions.

It's probably a mistake not to keep your monetary policy separate from your basic income.

In 1942, Admiral Yamato of Imperial Japanese Navy presided over a wargame of upcoming battle in/around Midway, before heading out to the famous Midway Battle.

He was dead set on going through with the attempted landing on the Midway Island. There were ones below him who thought it wouldn't succeed.

The wargame showed the invasion wouldn't succeed. Admiral Yamato (or his aides?) brushed aside Japanese loses and even brought back Japanese carriers that got sunk in the wargame (basically cheated) to basically force a victory for the Japanese fleet.

And of course Japanese fleet was defeated massively. US Navy got few critical lucky breaks but the Japanese wargame predicted a defeat for Japanese fleet.

> Land has a perfectly inelastic supply, and thus expectations of more income will lead to increases in rent.

Sort of. But land is not a uniform commodity. Different parcels of land are subject different levels of demand. For a place like New York City, the demand for real estate is fairly inelastic. But a basic income would decrease the incentive for people to live near where the jobs are. This would likely cause real estate prices to crash in more expensive places like San Francisco and New York. Many of those prices are inflated due to speculation anyway.

If pseudonyms don't matter, why does Facebook have such a hard-on for collecting real names (even trying to get people's friends to rat them out)?

No, you can still do a lot with compartmentalization. Throwing in the towel just because "on a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero" is just looking at the glass as half empty.
Pseudonyms are a fun one. Check out snoopsnoo.com . It's a site that using extremely primitive language parsing to create a profile of Reddit users. It's absolutely unbelievable how much we give away about ourselves when the bits and pieces are collected. Factor in linguistic analysis and I think it's safe to say that the privacy enabled by pseudonyms rapidly approaches 0 as your length of time using that pseudonym grows, even if only on a single site.

Does it make a difference if you run your git operations through cmd from the bash command line? If so, is there a simple way to automatically get the current windows path from pwd? If it's the same speed as native git running in a separate window (I think it should be), it might be worth coming up with some kind of script to do this automatically. Not sure how to get that working with using Linux tools within git, though (editing commit messages, diffing, etc).
Also, how does file speed within the Linux environment (/home/username) compare to that outside (/mnt/C/whatever)?

Also, they _really_ chose a poor name for that executable; it should have been wsl.exe or some such, not bash.exe. At least lxss.exe isn't already in use by other software in my path...

> At ETHZ Oberon workstations were used during a couple of years by several users across the department.

The way you say that, it sounds pretty unimpressive. Say, 2 years and 10 users, plus or minus one order of magnitude. That's not enough to tell anything. Was it going to be portable to other hardware? Was it going to be maintainable? Was it going to be comparable in performance? The answers are all "no data". The only thing you can say is that it could be successfully written and gotten to work, for a definition of "work" that allowed a few people to use it for a little while.

> Most of those attempts failed due to losing the political and financial wars of bringing them into the wider market, not because of lack of features.

Well... I wasn't there, but I took a look at the Wikipedia page (yeah, I know) giving the chronology of the Oberon OS, and it's quite unimpressive. For four years, it had "only simple text editing facilities". Those four years ended in 1991. That sounds very much like "lack of features" to me.

In particular, the competition was either DOS, Mac, or a Unix workstation. That feature set would not lead anyone to want to choose Oberon.

Now, I know, there were only a couple of people working on it part time. But all this really proves is that they were able to write an OS and get a text editor running on it. That's proof of concept, I suppose, but there's a huge difference between an OS like that and an OS you can "bring into the wider market".

I think you're idolizing a past that wasn't all that hot at the time...
