Well riddle me this, if a computer of any sort has to constantly keep correcting itself, whether in processing or memory, well doesn't that seem unreliable to you?

Error correction is the study of the mathematical techniques that let you make something reliable out of something unreliable. Much of classical computing heavily relies on error correction. You even pointed out error correction applied in your classical computer.

That sort of RAM ain't exactly cheap either, but it's way cheaper than a super expensive quantum computer with still unreliable memory.

The reason so much money is being invested in the development of quantum computers is mathematical work that suggests a sufficiently big enough quantum computer will be able to solve useful problems in an hour that would take the worlds biggest classical computer thousands of years to solve.

The output of a quantum computer is read by a classical computer and can then be transferred or stored as long as you liked use traditional means.

The lifetime of the error corrected qubit mentioned here is a limitation of how complex of a quantum calculation the quantum computer can fix. And an hour is a really, really long time by that standard.

Breaking RSA or other exciting things still requires a bunch of these error corrected qubits connected together. But this is still a pretty significant step.

You can find it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi%27s_Mansion_3

How many calculations can your computer do in an hour? The answer is a lot.

They have a zero-tolerance policy for political viewpoints that differ from their own. That becomes a breeding ground for an extremely toxic echo chamber.

Some of yall have never had a soup dumpling apparently.

Also my pitch is just a big solid sphere of pasta dough. Good luck cooking or eating that.

I don’t see how lasik could possibly be a cost savings. I’ve gotten fairly nice glasses for $150 without insurance. I’ve gotten glasses for less than that with insurance.

One pair of glasses can last a long time if you take care of them (and if your eyes don’t get worse).

LASIK isn’t a permanent solution and eventually you’ll need glasses again.

It really depends on what’s wrong with your eyes. Glasses or contacts are probably the best method (in terms of safety, reliability, and cost) for the most common problems, but I’m guessing if you are asking this question that either won’t help your case or you aren’t happy with them.

This is the first time I saw the full video and I have to say - that cardboard “GameBoy” is a lot more clever than I expected!

The toxins are concentrated around the eyes so if you cut them out thoroughly enough and it’s just barely sprouted it’s probably fine.

If you don’t cut them out or it’s very thoroughly sprouted you will be more likely to get sick.

It also depends on how sensitive your stomach is.

No matter how bad it gets on earth, it will still be easier to survive on earth than Mats or Venus or the moon or wherever.

You can probably get it to work in Wine with some effort, and definitely should be able to get it to work in a virtual machine.

I’ve gotten some old games working in a Windows XP vm in VirtualBox, using disk images I made from the old disks.

The GOG release might be easier to get working (GOG themselves are updating it to work on modern OSes, and it’s DRM free so you don’t have to worry about the keys or anything).

Hey physicists generally use k for that integration constant. Or whatever unused letter they feel like.

Hmm I don’t see visible dust on it but maybe there’s just very light dust or it blends in with the grey filament I’m using. I’ll give that a try!

My last print it did eventually finish but I had to pause the print to do a cold pull multiple times.

This is the most ChatGPT thing I’ve read all day

The mathematical definition of a chaotic system is that you can find two paths that will eventually diverge to be arbitrarily different. But eventually is a keyword. Two very similar paths can and will progress very similarly for a long time.

Trump’s impact is recent enough it probably wouldn’t make me unborn. There’s a good chance removing Hitler would change things though.

Any advice on how to dry out old filament?

I’ve got some filament that’s been sitting out for about 2 years and it’s been clogging my hot end. I use my printer relatively infrequently and so I now have a lot of filament that’s potentially ruined.

A collection of older and therefore smaller games. A bunch of music in mp3 (or maybe something like AAC or OPUS). A bunch of ebooks. A handful of my favorite TV shows and/or movies heavily recompressed, like maybe 720p.
