I think what he wanted to show was a situation, in which entanglement and quantum mechanics, are superior to classical physics. i.e someone using quantum mechanics would have an advantage over someone who don't.

However, as he said, in this situation the two generals could have agreed on something else, like if it was raining or not.

In fact, something they could have done is to flip a coin, and split with a copy of the result, which they only look at when they launch the attack. It would have the same effect.

With a random variable (the coin flip), that is hidden until revealed, we achieve the same results as quantum mechanics.

Scientist call them "hidden values" and Einstein hopped we could explain the "spooky action at a distance" with such hidden variables. But we can't, Bell proposed an experiment with entangle state which measurement could not be explained by such hidden variables, and Aspect did the experiment and obtained the predicted results.

So there exist situation where we can use entanglement to achieve better results, for example in "non-local games", where players sharing entangled state can win with probability 1, when "classical player" with probability < 1

> If you've got elderly loved ones you want to keep safe, you'd need to vaccinate them, not yourself.

If the vaccine substantially reduces viral load, and degree and period of contagiousness for those who receive it, as well as reducing the risk of illness (which AFAIK it does, while falling short of sterilizing immunity), and you are the elderly loved ones main interface to the outside world, getting vaccinated on top of other precautions provides a real benefit.

OTOH, if you have to choose one to be vaccinated, it's them, not you. If you do this for lots of elderly family members, getting yourself vaccinated may be better than getting any one of them vaccinated, though. And, of course, of you are doing an off the books pre-approval use of the vaccine, accepting the risk of unexpected side effects for yourself may be more reasonable than imposing them on, or even suggesting them to, someone else who may be in a more fragile state.
I posted this somewhere else, the game has a ton of interesting concepts but they ran out of time a long time ago and half assed everything.

Cut the content in third and make it 3x deeper and it would have been a great game (bugs and all). Well perhaps not on last generation consoles, I have not tried it there.
tone deaf to what? That some people have big problems? That those big problems may be bigger than mine? That sometimes solutions to big problems are hard? That sacrifice for some isn't the same for sacrifice for others?

Or that some people's problems are as big as they are because they fail to recognize the change needed to solve them, or are unwilling to make that change? That often times, people fail to recognize the change needed because it first requires them to acknowledge and take responsibility.
"Poof, that's it."

The immune system is incredibly dangerous to its own host if mishandled. By stimulating response, you are trying to light a cigarette using a white phosphorus flamethrower, so to say.

It took a lot of time to find the optimal way of mRNA delivery that a) really does something but b) does not provoke a massive, counterproductive response. This is a very narrow rocky ledge with precipices on both sides to walk.
I disagree. Online advertising has revolutionized creating successful new brands. It has leveled the playing field where companies had to rely on traditional marketing channels like tv or radio which requires lot of capital and lacks efficiency. It is now easier than ever to build a multimillion dollar brand that competes against giants like Nike,Lululemon, luxottica, samsonite, Tempur-Sealy or Gillette/Pg.

Go back 20 years, consumers had limited choices on clothing/shoes, razors, diapers, glasses, and even mattresses.

Because of FB and Google, we have more choice as a consumer. As an entrepreneur, it is the best time to launch a company because of targeting that google and FB offer. You can efficiently grow the business.
The damage is done. AMP has been criticized since its inception, the author is no hero for realizing it after making it this way for years.
They did, just not publicly. That's why there were so many delays, the developers or managers kept saying "hey we're not going to make this release date, we need more time".
Just like with xeon server hardware, you will need to wait 4-6 years for companies to retire their fleets. r730s are currently reasonably priced (under $1K) but those were released new in 2014. R740s are still a few thousand dollars.
I agree that support for VoiceOver (and other assistive technology) and full support for keyboard shortcuts is essential for a production GUI toolkit. We certainly don't do those yet, but I do think we can get there.

Rust makes it easier to bind platform capabilities at a low level than most other languages. As an example, we do cut'n'paste cross-platform, supporting complex media types, not just plain text, so we can round-trip a vector glyph from Runebender to other font editors. I think that's a taste of being able to take on these more ambitious challenges.

Also, "native" UI toolkits are a lot less actually native than they used to be. On Windows, the old HWND-per-control and GDI drawing model (long considered the standard for "native" Windows UI) is long obsolete, and there are actually a whole bunch of toolkits that people use, with UWP the most actively supported. Apple has a stronger story, but even there you have AppKit + SwiftUI, and technically Catalyst is officially supported, though nobody would argue it's actually a good experience.

And the fact is, a lot of people are using Electron, because it actually solves the business problem of delivering good-enough UI. I think we have a good shot at competing against that niche, and also that building it on Rust is a more solid foundation than any other language ecosystem.
Probably not. There was about 20yrs of research on using mRNA for gene therapy before the CRISPR/Cas9 discovery. It was abandoned as a route for gene therapy specifically because it wasn't long lasting. The mRNA isn't incorporated into the DNA, so it isn't reproduced by the cells and eventually breaks down. Things inside of cells are flying around at high speeds and constantly colliding, so it's not a very stable environment.

There are people that this was tested on still hanging around with no lasting negative effects (to my knowledge).

I'd suggest signing up for the service and looking at the actual user-facing setup UI (which is how users arrive at these pages). I think it's really hard to miss in the UI, but if you disagree or even just have suggestions how to make it even more obvious, email them to Papertrail; they're responsive.

> We didn’t understand early on what a major risk factor obesity was. … It’s not until more recently that we’ve realized the devastating impact of obesity, particularly in younger people,” says Anne Dixon, a physician-scientist who studies obesity and lung disease at the University of Vermont. That “may be one reason for the devastating impact of COVID-19 in the United States, where 40% of adults are obese.”
How is that general activation achieved in the case of this mRNA vaccine and the others that will surely follow?
And my point is regardless of how complex something is, unless it's impossible, you can just give the thing a name and hide the complexity under the hood.

Imagine if this just worked since html1:

<div center vcenter>centered</div>

And this since css1:

<div style="align:center; vertical-align: center">centered</div>

Why are we still talking about how to vertical align elements in 2020? That's the question. Having to discuss history as an excuse to why anything is, is a symptom of the problem.
The first Atom SoCs used an Imagination GPU.
Xeon Platinum supports 8-socket machines. 6x memory channels x 8-sockets == 48x DIMMs for your massive 6TB RAM servers.

Platinum is crazy priced for a crazy reason: its a building block to truly massive computers that only IBM matches. Supercomputers don't even typically use Platinum: Platinum is for the most vertically-oriented systems.

Xeon Gold is your more typical 2-socket or 4-socket machines: same performance, but fewer sockets supported.

> The receiver does not know that a message has been sent until the first person contacts them classically. It's a common mistake to think that quantum teleportation is a new way of sending information. It's really a way to use classical communication in order to leverage entanglement to bypass various limitations of quantum mechanics.
It's "boilerplate".

It's because a reusable letterpress metal plate of text is called a "boilerplate" because it looks like the manufacturer's nameplate on a steam-train's boiler. That led to any reusable block of text being called "boilerplate".

>Some players expected this to be cyberpunk-themed RDR2/GTA5. It turns out it's nothing like that, it's more like a new Deus Ex game.

I think we're living in different worlds or something. This game is exactly like a GTA game, and nothing like Deus Ex.

It's an open world game (Deus Ex games are strictly linear with open level design, not narrative, something Warren Spector was extremely adamant about). It's got the atmosphere of a futuristic GTA Miami Vice rather than the industrial atmosphere of a Deus Ex, and worldbuilding wise there's little about the game that touches on heavier issues, whereas politics goes through all Deus Ex games quite heavily.
I don't have to re-evaluate anything. I just wanted to tell OP that Norway is a very rich country and not in any way poorer than California.
Here's the opening:

I starred in every high school play

blew every drama teacher away

graduated first in my class at Juilliard

took every acting workshop I could

and I dreamed of Hollywood

while I read my Uta Hagen and studied the Bard

In my understanding, the unhappiness expressed by the singer comes from failing to achieve his lifelong dream; that's why I posted the stretch above on "How to let go of a lifelong dream".

I find that near-final couplet - Always said I'd be famous / I guess that I lied - to pack an extraordinary amount of tragic punch for 11 words. Sometimes it can cost a lot to admit something, even something that everyone knows.

That said, I saw an interview with Weird Al in which he was asked about reactions to the song, and said that theme park guides tended to like it. After all, the song depicts them as responsible people who pay the rent. The people who really hate the song (according to the interview) are actors.
The whining about this game is becoming annoying.

Why are people so entitled ?

"But it's not what they promised" don't buy it then

"But the game is bugged" don't buy it then

"But the game is expensive and it should not be" don't buy it then

There are tons of game stores, and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM provide a refund policy. Why would you whine about your game ? Just. Get. A. Refund.

"But they lied about the game" It's a game, go scream with the same energy at your lying politicians.

I will probably get downvoted for this comment, but the buzz around this game is lasting too long IMHO.

I freaking hate yellow now.
What were you expecting? That's one of the main selling points.
Not exactly this, but I've had some success using logic programming (minikanren) to statically assert certain facts about dataframes in spark. E.g. "if Row_a is filtered to Row_b, and Row_a is not null, Row_b is also not null".
> AMD should see the writing on the wall and start designing ARM CPUs.

This is a really tough strategy decision. Focus all energy on delivering a knock-out blow to Intel (in x86/64) or try to do other stuff too?

For the next several years at least, there is still a whole lot of money to be made selling x86/64 chips. (I don't know if Microsoft has plans to move mainstream Windows users off x86/64, but even if they do, it won't happen quickly.)

Right now, AMD has an opportunity to take x86/64 away from Intel. Probably the best opportunity in decades. There's something to be said for focusing all resources on delivering a knock-out blow right now, before the opportunity is gone.

On the other hand, ARM might have a better future over the long term. And it isn't necessarily true that AMD would be spreading itself too thin by trying to do both.

Your comment proves the exact point he is making although you can't see it because you're too busy making yourself a victim. Also I get the feeling you have changed jack. My farts have also socialized reforms whatever the fuck that means.
I mean come on.

A $25,000 donation is kind of laughable when hospitals have no issue charging that much to give a kid some stitches after falling off a bike.

Yes, example Ada/SPARK, Eiffel, Delphi, OCaml, Haskell, D.

It is a matter of tooling, and where to spend development resources.
It's usually really hard to negotiate a longer post termination exercise window as an individual, as that will have to be written into the options plan (which requires board/investor majority approval and is generally a huge legal doc written before). However a lot of strong startups these days are offering all employees with longer (e.g. >2 years) experience the opportunity to exercise for 3+ years and sometimes significantly longer.

https://github.com/holman/extended-exercise-windows is a good resource!

Microsoft isn't just rubber stamping Google's initiatives because they are using Chromium and have been shown to have different priorities, though. More seats at the table is obviously a good thing, but removing Microsoft from a seat at the table at the same time won't help and might make things worse.
I mean this is they key for everything when making great products, accept your limitations and don't make it the users problem.

It is so fundamental you should not have to say it but you are really right in this case.
Thank you for all your comments, very illuminating! Is the following classical analogy flawed? Say you have two pendulums and you set them in motion together so that they swing in perfect synchrony. Then you move the one (still swinging) pendulum to another location without disturbing it. Would it be reasonable to say that the physical pendulums are the “medium” and evolving information about the exact position and velocity of the pendulums the “system”? Because this is a classical system you can measure the position and velocity of the one pendulum and know that the other pendulum is at the exact same position and velocity. They are “coherent” in a way. However, in a quantum system, the medium (say a photon of light) is so fragile that measuring it removes its coherence to its entangled twin. This decoherence does not destroy the photon but the future information it carries. It now carries new information unrelated to the originally entangled photon. Kind of like having to stop a pendulum to figure out it’s position and velocity. You haven’t destroyed the pendulum but you have destroyed the potential for it to give you information about the other pendulum in the future. Following on from this analogy, if you crashed pendulum c into your one pendulum and destructively measured the resulting position and velocity you could send this information to the second pendulum to get that pendulum to set another pendulum in motion that would have an identical future to pendulum c before its system was destroyed. Thus, no information is really flowing between the two entangled photons because they are just “vibrating” identically until one is disturbed.
Even infinite ones?
I just want them to make a stand-alone git client - their 3 way merge for merge conflicts is second to none.
The thing is, you totally ignored the entire critique. They could have achieved the same thing without forcing the garbage iframe.
I don't usually like to comment on design when people post early stage products, because I understand that usually development is focused on core features and, as time goes on, the design will change.

That being said, I feel like the homepage was overwhelming to the point where my immediate reaction was to back out of using the product, so I feel that it's worth commenting on in this case. I'm not trying to nit pick, but if other people had similar reactions, it could affect user acquisition.

There's lots of big bold text and not a lot of use of negative space, so it's really hard to know what to focus on. I feel like a little more vertical space between posts and maybe making the URL smaller or moving it below the post title (or both) could really make the homepage a little less overwhelming with only a few minor changes.
Is it really phone CPU performance that limits the bandwidth? I expected it would be the camera.
There are two horrors here:

1) most people who apply for programming jobs can't write FizzBuzz;

2) the traditional way to signal that you are not one of them will cost you 5 years of your life, and probably burden you with decades of debt.

Employers of course worry about the first one, because the costs of too much interviewing come directly from their pockets. Students worry about the second one, because they pay for that one directly with their money and time.

The fact that if you can learn in 3 months what the average student learns for 5 years, there is a possibility for you go get a signal that really only costs you 3 months of your time, and also proportionally less money, is a fantastic improvement over the traditional way where if you are faster, you just have to spend more time waiting... while still paying huge money for that time.

(The equivalent improvement for the employers would be like, doing FizzBuzz tests during phone call, so you would only spend 2 minutes per hopeless candidate, instead of scheduling one hour of your time.)
This forum is such a great technical resource, thank you.

I wonder if this shady/unethical behavior is more focused in consumer startups. In enterprise SaaS, for example, unethical behavior is a low-EV move because your customers will have standing to cancel their contracts or pursue you for damages. It's also harder to be shady under the scrutiny of 500 large recurring-revenue customers than 500,000 tiny ones.

How about a big dose of nope?
I'm tired of the attitude in the financial sector that all information ever should be accessible and factored in for them. Just because you're dealing with money does NOT mean you should be able to build or accessa digital portfolio of everyone. It's ludicrous. I'd like to know how these people think we even got to the position we're at that they can even think of doing it. People allocated capital. Lack of info be damned. The world runs on and in spite of inefficiencies, and arguably a lot more equitably when there isn't an absurd amount of data being expected to be in place from the ground up.

Absolutely mind boggling.
Will this pass Apple’s review? I thought anything that allowed you to run arbitrary code on their platform was an automatic hard no.
Could you elaborate why the quote you mention is a faux pas. I think from the evolution / morphogenesis perspective he describes how constraints (i.e. gravitational, energetic) shape and direct the space state. Lewontin (also affiliated with Santa Fe) goes a bit further here on that I think: http://www.accuracyingenesis.com/evolution/complications.htm

I read the review and agree with some of what Aaron is saying. But the book is meant to appeal to a general audience. West's research is well represented in peer-reviewed journals, where most of his concerns are properly addressed (example: https://www.pnas.org/content/104/17/7301).
Ye. There are different circles of hell and it is hard to tell them apart until you have seen some of them.
I recall AMD mentioning that their Zen architecture is pretty generic and that it would not be hard to make it execute ARM instructions instead. AMD has worked on this before, although the project was canned, but there's been some rumors recently of it having been resurrected.

This is what I would do. Treat it like an engineering problem: break it down into smaller, simpler parts, and start with small steps.

You value practicality as well as personal interest/fulfillment. Either pick one and start there or pick both and consider the options there. If you want to be practical, learn the most marketable skill that you're at least somewhat interested in: Java, AWS, Docker, Javascript are all incredibly marketable. If you want to go for interest, just pick the thing you're most interested in. You could also try and juggle two deep dives, at the cost of more time and less depth, but maybe that works for you.

Don't worry about becoming a senior dev in a semester. Pick something and focus on it. That could be an AWS certification, building something in Java, etc. Once you get through that, then decide your next step.
