I would describe classical correlations as downgraded entanglement. Correlation is what's left when entanglement decoheres / undergoes uncontrolled phase noise. Things you should be able to do, like win the Mermin-Peres magic square game 100% of the time, aren't possible when the entangled qubits you'd use to do it aren't protected from phase noise.

Decoherence is sort of analogous to air. It's so ubiquitous in your life that you don't really think about it, but you'd notice immediately if it was removed. Being steeped in air your whole life has twisted your physical intuitions. That's why Aristotle thought "objects come to rest" when actually objects move at constant speed unless acted upon by a force. Similarly, being steeped in decoherence has twisted your physical intuitions. Like thinking "adding more ways for something to happen must make it more likely" or "a particle's position is independent of its momentum" or "I can measure an object without affecting it". But actually different paths can interfere, and momentum is the Fourier transform of position, and measurements apply phase noise.

Decoherence is so ubiquitous that it's a huge challenge to engineer systems that suppress it. This is why quantum computers are so hard to make, and why quantum error correction has so much more overhead compared to classical error correction. Classical error correction only has to fix bit flips, and it can do so by making phase flips worse (which it does). Quantum error correction has to simultaneously fix bit flips and phase flips.

When two particles are entangled, rotating one around the X axis by an angle A and the other by an angle B and then measuring produces measurement results that agree with probability cos^2(A-B). Same as the probability of a photon with polarization angle A passing through a polarizing filter with angle B. Decohere the entanglement before the rotations, and the measurements will instead agree with probability cos^2(A)cos^2(B) + sin^2(A)sin^2(B). Note that cos^2(A-B) = cos^2(A)cos^2(B) + sin^2(A) sin^2(B) + 2 cos(A) cos(B) sin(A) sin(B), meaning decoherence is taking away the 2 cos(A) cos(B) sin(A) sin(B) interference term. That's the downgrade. That's what makes your best possible CHSH win rate drops from 85% to 75%. If entanglement allowed sending messages, the initial CHSH win rate would be 100% instead of 85%.
no. unlikely.
> but the problem is that the value proposition for having kids is not terribly high. They're expensive, and time consuming

Yes but you get to pass the gift of life off to another person which I think is the greatest thing one person can do for another. It's a sacrifice so someone else will get to experience their first spring, their first love, the great works of art of humans past, etc.

>I don't think I'd be a terribly good parent, and I would prefer to avoid screwing up another human.

You sound like you'd be a great father. From a stranger who had their first 2 years ago with a second on the way, please reconsider your vasectomy. I can't stress the absolute joy and love it has brought my wife and I.

Rust is the issue here because it doesn't give you much of an option. And that option is the wrong one if you need to do an emergency upgrade of a particular library system-wide.
I think the reason is pretty obvious. They want you to waste more time after you've submitted the security report and maximize the amount of back and forth. Basically the hope is that they'd be able to pester you with requests for more info/details in order to "resolve the issue" which would give them more time to exploit their targets.
Prompt engineering: strategies for getting better results
I have only been to Iceland (jan 2023..first time out of the US and loved it's culture & many things about it) then in May 2023 visited Yellowstone. Iceland has a lot of natural wonders but Yellowstone has more varied natural wonders and all in a smaller area.

I'd personally recommend Yellowstone over Iceland if your looking to experience the best/most unique natural wonders (grand canyon, tons of waterfalls, a massive geyser Old Faithful compared to Stokkur, wildlife safari, hot and colorful out of this world scolding hot pools and more). I do need to do the ring road in Iceland, but Iceland surely does not have wildlife nor colorful hot pools (that i know of anyway).
I used to feel the same way until I actually watched a Formula E race.
The racing is incredibly close at times (I think last race had a 3 wide finish for the podium), and features like Fan boost make for a really engaging overall experience

> It's not information that is terribly useful

This opinion feels alien to me. Some of the most useful information you can have in a company is around salary/bonus/commission structures. From a purely self interested perspective, knowing this makes you a far better negotiator around review season. And from an organizational perspective, understanding what kind of things get people their bonus or commission goes a long way to understand what kind of decisions they make and how to influence them.

As a manager, though: thanks, employees with this perspective reduce the number of awkward meetings I might have.
I'm surprised that the FIA + FOM haven't clocked on to this, the 2026 power unit regulations could have been a good chance to bring back V10s combined with synthetic fuel.

I love Guacamole (the food too). I use the software pretty much every day, and have been pretty happy with it. My two main gripes are 1) it doesn't auto focus login/password fields, and 2) if the engine can't keep up with what's displaying on the remote screen, like if a video autoplays, it introduces an enormous amount of input lag, or even drops input events altogether. It makes getting out of that situation rather difficult.

Neutrinos are directional. Any jamming would come from a different direction.

The jammer can't match the direction - as the submarine moves the direction of the source changes in a predictable way, the jammer would change in a different way.

Think of it as a tiny light bulb blinking as you walk in a circle around it. Doesn't matter where you put the jamming light bulb it won't be in the center of your circle like the source light bulb is.

Would a monkey who knew the n-gram frequencies of the letters in English where n is large be able to produce credible English text? Furthermore, does this monkey "know" English? If the N-gram monkey is behind one door and a human is behind the other, could a third-party observer tell which was the monkey? This question rings of the Turing test for artificial intelligence, to which there is no easy answer.

No easy answer indeed!
I looked at the differences between the GitHub repository and released packages. About 60 files are in a release package that are not in the repo (most are generated files for building) but also some of the .po files have changes.

That's devastating.

If you don't build your release packages from feeding "git ls-files" into tar, you are doing it wrong.
There was an amusing blog some years ago where the author ate the serving suggestion pictured on the package. The best one was where he ate raw a rectangular frozen slab of saithe together with a token tiny piece of parsley and a couple of slices of lemon.
> could have been a good chance to bring back V10s

Not possible. We're in the cost-cap era of F1 and teams spent way too much time and money on those turbo hybrid V6 engines to suddenly bin them and start developing hybrid V10s along with new chassis that can accommodate them.

It would have been cool though, but not economically viable in the current era. The sunk cost fallacy.
That's one too many conditionals in the title to not be a little suspicious. Exciting, still.

> I don't see how much good the persistent topology adds here, though. Why bother to do the abstract birth-death diagram and measure the variance in lifetime of these simplices, when the variance and median of the areas in the Voronoi diagram will give you a much easier and more interpretable result?

Well, my personal feeling as someone who has published math papers is that there is a bit of a pressure in mathematics to continually do things in new ways, even if they are not the best ways of doing things. Topological data analysis seems to be of that sort.

Of course, there could be debate here...but I do think that a lot of mathematics has gone past the point of diminishing returns when it comes to its usefulness or even artistic elegance as an abstract art of the intellect. Yet, the show must go on I suppose.
Define "pay equity" please. Does that mean everyone in the same role gets paid the same? Everyone with the same seniority gets paid the same? Something else?

Sure, some people are getting paid too little and others too much. But the concept of "equity" has no place here. It suggests that you "deserve" to paid equally. But equal to whom? And based on what? A new hire can be more valuable than a veteran. Two people in the same role can contribute different amounts.

> I'm not talking about limits on personal actions. I'm talking about corporate, and even there for the most part publicly traded corporations.

The now defunct consent decree was put in place specifically because small players couldn’t distribute movies anywhere besides theaters. That is not the world we live in today. Anyone can distribute movies worldwide by doing just as I said without an intermediary. I literally have a bash shell script and a CloudFormation template on my work computer right now that creates a static website hosted on S3 distributed via CloudFront where I could make any video I have available to anyone in the world.

> it weren't for movie studios getting into the distribution business, they probably would be doing quite well right now, having a significant headstart on how to do distribution.

There is no moat around video distribution. To a first approximation, anyone can distribute video at scale and create an entire streaming service using services available on AWS combined with a third party company that specializes in it. Do you think that all of these streaming companies have the in house expertise to do this at scale?

Hell, I know how to use AWS services to distribute content, transcode it and distribute it to millions of people around the world. Would it be cost effective at scale? Probably not. (former AWS ProServe employee).

> Any company which owns their own distribution network and preferentially distributes over that. Seems like the sort of thing the courts and FCC can work out

You really want the FCC and courts to have the power to block content on the internet and force all ISP’s to block foreign traffic?

You didn’t address the part about how this would work for international content, are we going to give the FCC the power to block international content on the internet?

> the only place you can get Disney movies is directly from Disney's own service, that's a form of monopoly

That is by no legal definition a monopoly and actually Epic just loss a case against Apple in court trying to argue that Apple had a monopoly on the App Store. In that case the NY Times has a “monopoly” on thier content? Every producer has a monopoly on what they create.

> No. Those programs should be syndicatable by anyone else who wants to distribute them, at the cost that they charge their own network for.

You really don’t want to let any content producer to be the sole distributor of their content? Does that include software developers? Should they also have to go through an App Store instead of exclusive distribution on thier own website?

It's actually not an advantage. The reason why the exploit wasn't included is because the attacker specifically decided to only inject x86_64 Debian and RHEL to reduce the chances of this getting detected.
I’m exactly like that, this is why I can browse the web with no ad-blocker installed with almost no issue, by default I just ignore all banners.

Curiously enough the same thing does not happen when watching regular TV programs. I’ve stopped watching regular TV almost 4 years ago, and that’s why when I happen to visit some of my friends who have the TV on I’m always surprised whenever ads interrupt whatever is being shown, I can’t understand how come people can put up with that. I guess they formed “TV ad blindness”
I have been getting them in email.

I was getting messages from AOC's campaign that were so strident and offensive I thought they might be a "false flag" operation. Mostly I get messages from Democrats because I made the mistake (in terms of being a spam target) of giving money to their campaigns a few years back but I got a few messages from Republicans the other day.

Inexplicably I get a high volume of calls from a Republican fundraising organization that persist despite my telling them not to call and using the "broken record" response that "I can understand that someone could agree with your points but Jan 6 was just not cool"
Malthus would say disease, famine, and war.

But the new world brought urbanization and birth control, which appears to be the most effective.

And since we are discussion overpopulation, I need to emphasize that the 8 billion people in the world (holy shit, it was 3.6 billion when I was born. I'm not that old) isn't the important metric.

The important metric is the lifestyle / resources consumed per person. China, India, etc all want US-type lifestyles, personal vehicles, abundant and varied food.

Yeah, THAT can't be sustained with our population. Our world survives because about a billion people live like that, probably 2 billion / 25% live in poverty (translate poverty to "doesn't consume a lot"), and the rest live spartan lifestyles.

The danger of global warming isn't really the heat or weather changes. The gradual pressure applied by global warming intensifies geopolitical conflict and reduces viability of farmland, the "war" and "famine" of malthus. It probably will increase disease too, but modern technology seemingly can handle that a lot better than back in Malthus's time.
i've long felt the same. i came to conclusion the browser vendors decided it was kind of a mistake. it enables all sorts of local first and p2p things that cut out the service providers.

>> Those turtles didn't need to use funding pre-doc-com-boom, they were passion projects and people with time devoted to the "cause" of FOSS.

Except they kinda did. The foundations of FSF are born by academics working at institutions, getting paid salaries. The were devoting time certainly, and certainly in the case of RMS with passion and cause, but that work was definitely funded - usually by the university.

>> Perhaps that's the problem: that they exist "at the level they do", meaning most of it is corporate focused, and not enthusiast and user focused.

I think we can drop the term "enthusiast". It implies tiny niche group with little practical value. I'm thinking of classic car "enthusiasts" who spend all their time under the car, and precious little driving it.

So let's talk about users. Users want full-featured reliable software. I would suggest all software, if successful, is user focused. (To he honest, I'm not sure what you have in mind with "corporate focused".) Firefox, to pick one project at random will seemingly live or die based on the individual user experience.

Equally take databases - there are s plethora of options to suit every use case. Need big powerful fast enterprise scale - Postgres is for you. Need small footprint with easy install - try Firebird. And a gazillion others. Surely such quality is a good thing?

>> Gnome, for example, wasn't created to give RH and co a desktop shell for corporate installs...

Um. Sure it was. It was designed to offer a gui desktop on top of Linux. Who did they think would use it if not Linux distributions? Given that for decades "the year of Linux on the desktop" was a meme, I'm not sure it's fair to claim that distributions using Gnome to create desktops for business users was a surprise.
Prehistoric European cave paintings should make that obvious.
It's rarely mentioned, but a major casualty of the Reader shutdown was Google Listen, a perfectly good podcast app which I think was just somebody's side project. It used Reader as a backend, so you could also manage your feeds in a browser. Really cool.

It's just another example of Google failing to even keep their options open to take advantage of future developments. "Serial" would make podcasts mainstream just a year or so later.
