Yeah, this is how I feel when I read the actual research papers behind these sensational articles.

“Quantum teleportation achieved!”

Hmm, looks like a unitary operator was applied to a tensor product state.

“Virtual particles pop in and out of existence!”

Hmm, looks like a mathematical technique to perturbatively approximate a very large unitary operator.

“Time crystals!!!”

Cool, the unitary operator has some symmetries.

“The cat is dead and alive!”

So the state the unitary operator acts upon can be represented as a mathematically convenient linear combination of two other states. Great?

The amount of effort this guy puts into his projects is often mindblowing. Amazing content to get an idea of all the unforseen complexities with engineering seemingly simple concepts.
The experience argument seems thin: new grads have a similar issue, and yet companies have hiring programs targeting these individuals, sometimes aggressively.

It seems the core of your argument is not that they are inexperienced, but rather that the bootcamps somehow convince them they are not and this leads to friction in the positions they seek and the expectations around the work they're capable of accomplishing.

Depends on the particular laws of where you are. The reality is that even if the laws favor shooting back, if the criminal ends up injured or killed it means years of legal issues for the shooter. This is true for any physical altercation regardless of if weapons are used.

Hum... The only thing that changes is that the exception comes on its negated form. It doesn't make code scanning any harder, or interpreting it any more convoluted.

Personally, I do hate both of those (including the Python's ternary operator). But there is something with the bashism it shares, of `do_it() or die "trying"` that looks quite nice.

While you are correct that "Central banks in most developed nations are institutionally independent from political interference" (1)

But this is

a) not in the private sector, it is acting to "manages the currency and monetary policy of a state" to "implement a country's chosen monetary policy" State. Country.

b) more importantly, this is still utterly unlike a household, where no such function exists in any form.

Not sure if I'd call a government that isn't expanding housing in a very constrained housing market a left-wing government. It might have traces of progressivism in some social areas, even to a fault as I'm reading from these SF's reports on crime, but calling a government that sides with the current rich/millionaire houseowners left-wing is quite disingenuous.

Maybe that's my foreign view as I don't see any political stance in the USA as left-leaning, some Democrats are, at most, left-adjacent in some social policies.

Even Americans are more likely to address people as "Sir" than Britons under pensionable age, and English hasn't had the polite second person pronoun most languages do for a long time, never mind involving a dilemma over whether to use a construction that would literally translate as "would your grace..." in everyday interactions to avoid people getting upset by the overfamiliarity of "you"!

Not all psychiatric medications work equally well for everyone. Some medicines work amazing for one person, but do not work well at all for someone else.

If meds are not working for you or have bad side effects, talk to your doctor. Usually, they will recommend stopping meds that are not working for you.

Find meds that work for you and use them religiously. Beyond that, find habits that work for you to keep you motivated, organized, and on top of your life. For me, that is primarily keeping a calendar of all the important things I need to do and using checklists to make sure I do not forget anything.

I recommend creating dedicated "me time" on your schedule / calendar so that you can have time to do things that help you to unwind, relax, and even have fun. If you are very busy, prioritize your life. Decide to remove some items that keep you busy by saying no and discarding things that you don't really need.

You only have one mind and one life, so take care of it.

No. They would write considerably more extreme things than that.

This isn't taking place in course discussion. The course has nothing to do with trans people.

They take a course in a topic they do not care about that is taught by a trans person (or a gay person or a woman). They deliberately write statements specifically targeting the status of the professor in an extreme way but in legally protected places. They do this in an attempt to get the professor to react in some manner so they can sue to school for discrimination against conservative students. They are clearly coached by a legal team because 18 year olds do not actually understand the precise legal boundaries they can walk up to.

> There’s lots of people the modern “woke” left in the USA doesn’t seem to care about

Who? And what does "woke" mean?

I don't know what "woke" means but I know what leftism mean. Are you arguing that the anticapitalists don't care about poor people, lol? That the accessibility activists don't care about disabled people? That we don't care about poor people because... they're white?

Hold on, that we don't care about homeless people??? what??? Where are you getting this lmao. And by men with specific male problems are you perhaps referring to transgender men facing state-sponsored prejudice and having their rights legislated against? Or gay men getting shot in nightclubs? Did you mean something else?

So it's better for lobbyists to get the money to encourage pharma companies to increase US prices to give Africa free doses? I don't see how that is a better use of the money. Now you've spent twice as much money on this. Once for lobbyists and then again from US price increases and pharma companies make just as much in the end.
Especially science magazines for the general public have a duty to be as factually correct as possible.
This is not only a duty towards the general public, as they should not be deceived and deserve truthful reporting on these subjects. But it is also a duty towards the scientists, as they deserve that their results are presented fairly and accurately towards non-experts.

I have been generally impressed with quanta, as they usually try very hard (far more than most of their genre) to actually report accurately. Scientific reporting is hard, the knowledge gaps between reporter, scientists and audience are usually very large and explaining an extremely difficult concept to non-expert audience is very challenging. But this is no excuse to publish outright nonsense and to be honest publishing outright nonsense was not what I was expecting from quanta.

Is it that hard to talk about?

A tangle in the interior of a cylinder loses information when viewed on the boundary because you lose a dimension (ie, the shadow cast by string around a light bulb as you see it on the lamp shade). You then have to allocate probabilities to pseudoknot resolutions (ie, guesses about crossings). So you end up with something that looks like continuous geometry on the inside and quantized statistics about interactions on the boundary.

Entanglement looks like taking two filaments in a plasma globe and moving one in a circle around the other. Their ribbons are now tangled. (As a 2+1-D analog.)

People will rob you and take your gun off you if they see your gun before you notice you're getting robbed. If you draw on someone pointing a gun at you you will get killed.

Some states allow you to protect property with deadly force and others do not. You have to read state law to understand the nuance.

In San Francisco you can generally take anything you want from anybody and the victim will generally get in trouble trying to stop you. You may get arrested for the crime but there is no guarantee. The police will release you soon after you are arrested, often on a signature bond with zero deposit [1]. You can rinse and repeat this process dozens of times per year because it is unlikely you will spend any significant time in jail or prison. You'll have a database record but no problem making ends meet upon release.

...this also varies by country: in some countries, the speed limit itself, not the camera, is there for your safety - I mean, how many cameras should they install?! In others, they exaggerate the speed limit, e.g. 50 km/h on a straight road outside of built-up areas, hoping that drivers will at least slow down to 80 km/h (looking at you, Italy!).

I guess the future of speed traps is "section control", e.g. install cameras at beginning and end of a speed-restricted stretch, and if the time you needed is significantly below the expected one with legal speed, you get a ticket.
There's a big difference in protecting property in your domicile vs protecting your property while you're out and about. Most serious gun self defense legal advocates will advocate not protecting your property while out in public, unless your life is truly in danger, simply because you are going to incur immediate legal issues and at least 20k in debt. Whatever you were protecting is not likely going to be worth the legal, or emotional costs of self defense.

When it comes to protecting your property, as in your domicile- you are having your safest place violated. Your life is more likely in danger, and laws are also more likely to favor you, lessening the legal risk.

If I'm carjacked, I have insurance, if someone breaks into my house, where I have several guns and my family- I have much less to lose by killing the intruder.
