- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 1 week ago:
Terrorism is internationally recognized as when a group or organization unaffiliated with a recognized government uses violence to achieve a political goal. “Terrorist state” is a contradiction in terms.
Netanyahu is leading a genocide and starting wars, all to avoid the regular democratic and legal process of Israel. Why are you carrying water for him?

uh, I’m a total quantum layman, but I’m pretty sure its the detector.

My example is more in regards to wave/particle duality as it shows up in variations of the double slit experiment. Putting a detector at one of the slits is an active interaction, giving you the particle-like behavior rather than the interference pattern.

wooo! comp-sci dropout! I heard way too many of you describe the kind of code that gets written under deadlines and client demands. Programming is fun, why would I want to ruin it by turning it into work?

- Comment on It's not supposed to make sense... 2 weeks ago:
When researchers say “observe” they actually mean “measure”. And when you’re working with sub-atomic particles, “measure” isn’t some passive activity. It’s an active thing. When you measure small particles you are applying some force upon them, changing them in some way from how they would otherwise act.
Imagine if you were tasked with measuring traffic on the other side of the planet, but you had no cameras. The only tool you had was a gigantic 30 ton, satellite-networked pendulum swinging across the highway. The only way you know if there are cars on the highway is if the pendulum thwacks into one of them. That’s quantum particle physics… I think.
- Comment on Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. 2 weeks ago:
What they mean is that before Turing, “computer” was literally a person’s job description. You hand a professional a stack of calculations with some typos, part of the job is correcting those out. Newfangled machine comes along with the same name as the job, among the first thing people are gonna ask about is where it fall short.
Like, if I made a machine called “assistant”, it’d be natural for people to point out and ask about all the things a person can do that a machine just never could.

imagine how many more rockets we could reuse if the NASA subdivision formerly known as SpaceX did literally any of the standard, rigorous fault-checks.

yeah, that’s some counter-productive signage.

general anesthetics are so neat
like, you can just switch me off with a drug, and after a while I come back? weird, bizzar, and yet also practical. and (as far as I understand) it’s universal. Works on every living thing. They’ve anesthetized plants

steamVR works on it
of course, the only good VR game is Alyx and once you finish that it’s only tech demos and chat rooms - nothing else really worth the bother of strapping a monitor to your face.

- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 3 months ago:
tying it to income means in a few decades inflation just shrinks the number of people who can actually benefit
If you own one residential property and also live in it, no taxes on that. Multiple properties? That’s taxes. Unfortunately, most primary education is funded by property tax, so you’d have to change how that works (and maybe actually pay teachers while your at it). Fortunately, none of this has any chance of ever getting implemented.

Woo! Let’s make this artificial biome that much more inhospitable for the very creatures that build and live in it!

The people who are getting real mad over Republican voters don’t really care that Rs and Ds have the same foreign policy. The frontier of empire is coming home, but acknowledging that would mean acknowledging we export suffering.
- Comment on no words, much feelings 4 months ago:
Personally I’d rather save 20 dollars on my taxes
woah, bub, inflation is bad but it’s not that bad. A fountain would come out to… like maybe a dime at most split between taxpayers. Depending on what budget it’s coming out of, like if it were a federal park, probably less than a full penny.
