The thing I don't get is all these random LMG apologists saying "actually here is exactly why it happened and is actually completely okay" despite absolutely no one having a true inside view of the company.
Like I saw someone just randomly guessing really stupid reasons why Madison is in the wrong, and acting like they have secret knowledge.
After reading that, I fully expect their plans "to improve" will involve abusing and blaming staff unfairly. Seems like they're already doing that when they blame "human error" for the videos being bad rather than taking personal responsibility, as management should.
I think "rounding error" is probably the closest term I can think of. A quick back of the envelope estimation says erasing 1 byte at 1GHz will increase an average silicon wafer 1K° in ~10 years, that's hilariously lower than I'm used to these things turning out to be, but I'm normally doing relativistic stuff so it's not really fair to assume they'll be even remotely similar.
I appreciate you revising your reply to be less harsh, I wasn't aiming to correct you on anything I was just offering some thoughts, I find this stuff interesting and like to chat about it. I'm sorry if I made your day worse, I hope things improve.
I said superconducting semiconductors as just a handy wavy way to refer to logic gates/transistors in general. I'm aware that those terms are mutually exclusive, but thats on me, I should have quoted to indicate it as a loose analogy or something.
The only thing I disagree with is your assessment that computation doesn't create heat, it does. Albeit an entirely negligble amount, due to the fact that traditional computation involves deleting information, which necessarily causes an increase in entropy, heat is created. It's called Landauer's principle. It's an extremely small proportion compared to resistive loss and the like, but it's there none the less. You could pretty much deal with it by just absorbing the heat into a housing or something. We can of course, design architectures that don't delete information but I'm reasonably confident we don't have anything ready to go.
All I really meant to say is that while we can theoretically create superconducting classical computers, a room temperature superconductor would mostly still be used to replace current superconductors, removing the need for liquid helium or nitrogen cooling. Computing will take a long time to sort out, there's a fair bit of ground to make up yet.
There is still heat generated by the act of computation itself, unless you use something like reversible computing but I don't believe there's any current way to do that.
And even then, superconducting semiconductors are still going to be some ways off. We could have superconductors for the next decade in power transmission and still have virtually no changes to processesors. I don't doubt that we will eventually do something close to what you describe, but I'd say it's easily a long way off still. We'll probably only be seeing cheaper versions of things that already use superconductors, like MRI machines.
A girl I had been seeing for years, and thought I loved more than anything. After a lot of really intense drama that I honestly didn't think I'd survive, and the following analysis with a psychologist, I realised she'd been emotional manipulating me for a very long time.
When I finally cut her out, things just became so much better. I've learnt what a truely kind and loving person can be like, and what it's like to not walk on eggshells or have constant anxiety. So many seemingly innocent comments that in hindsight were insanely toxic controlling statements. It's been incredible to feel free.
It ultimately depends on what particle the dark matter is made of. It's been a long time since I did any dark matter work, but from memory heavier candidate particles are more capable of forming structure because they move more slowly.
I never ended up pursuing that as a research area, so I'd take what I'm saying with a grain of salt, I just did a small project for a professor once.
I don't have tinnitus, but I do this exact thing using the Sennheiser true wireless 3. You just have to set them to not pause music when the pass through is on, it works really well.
Yeah, we spent ages getting a rabbit only virus ready, and accidentally released it way too early. So a bunch of rabbits died, and the ones that lived had children that were immune enough to live.
Or something like that, it's been a while since I've read about it.
Different arrangements would do it, or you could think of it very loosely as the "if you made different decisions in each" kind of thing. Events/history is different, essentially.
On your idea of a "random function" yes, pretty much everything at a fundamental level appears to be probabilistic to some level. Quantum theory cannot in most cases predict the exact outcome of an experiment, just the probability of different outcomes.
I don't really understand why, but this seems to be a common misunderstanding of the multiverse theory.
All it says is that every possible universe exists, so it's not at all required that everything you can think of exists, just everything permitted by physics. Possible is the keyword here, and you can still have an infinity of universes even if you restrict what is possible.
I'm no expert on the subject, but as I understand it there are generally two types of multiverse theory. The one where you have infinite universes all with the same physical laws, but every unique possibility under those laws exists in the multiverse. And the one where every possible variation on the laws of physics exist (generally talking about different coupling constants rather than entirely different laws). It's entirely reasonable that both types are one in the same.
In either case, it wouldn't really be consistent for there to be a universe where the multiverse doesn't exist, unless it is the only universe and there is no multiverse at all.
To oppress the some of the most vulnerable people in the world who desperately need help, of course.
