Good question! You are certainly not dense!
The position-momentum uncertainty relationship is just a specific case of a more general relationship. There are other uncertainty relationships, such as between time and energy or between two (separate/orthogonal) components of angular velocity. The relationships basically state that whenever you measure one of the two values, you are required to add uncertainty to the other.
Unfortunately, this is kinda where my knowledge on the subject starts to hit its limits. As for spin, it has a lot of effects on the energy of the system it’s involved with, so I believe the energy-time or angular momentum exclusion principles would apply there.

What I mean to say is that the detector is not what’s changing the particle; It’s the process of learning about an aspect of the quantum system that forces it into one state or another (at least from our own personal perspectives).
- Comment on It's not supposed to make sense... 2 weeks ago:
Sorta! According to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, there’s an upper limit to how much we can “know” about the given state of a particle. This isn’t an issue with our measurements, but a fundamental property of the universe itself. By measuring one aspect of a quantum system (for example, the momentum of a particle), we become less certain about other aspects of the system, even if we had already measured them before (such as the position of the same particle).
- Comment on It's not supposed to make sense... 2 weeks ago:
Not exactly. Quantum physics applies no matter how you measure it. The double-slit experiment is an example of this: Photons moving through two slits will form a wave interference pattern on a detector plate, even though the detector doesn’t affect the position of the photons beforehand.
It’s more like: when you become aware of the results of a quantum measurement, you yourself become a part of the quantum system, and being a part of the system requires measurements to have real values. Whether you should interpret this as a wave-function collapse or branching into multiple parallel universes is up for debate though.

I’ve actually messed with this a bit. The problem is more that it can’t count to begin with. If you ask it to spell out each letter individually (ie each letter will be its own token), it still gets the count wrong.

My first playthrough of Half Life 2, I bailed from the boat when it got stuck on the wall in a section with lots of guns. I continued on foot through two more loading zones until I reached a section that required the boat to progress, so I walked all the way back to get it lol
- Comment on Why is everyone using Tailscale? 1 month ago:
I use both, since they do different stuff. I actually remote into my servers with wireguard, but I like to install tailscale as well as a backup. Since each device gets a unique tailnet ip, I can usually still connect even if I’ve fucked up some network config that breaks wireguard.

- Comment on China launches HDMI and DisplayPort alternative — GPMI boasts up to 192 Gbps bandwidth, 480W power delivery 2 months ago:
Image Based on this pin configuration, there’s only two dedicated power pins, which isn’t very good for large wattages. The rest are twinax signal pairs separated by ground to reduce crosstalk.
Usually when connectors are designed for power delivery, they’ll use bigger contacts to reduce the contact resistance (signal contacts tend to be small so you can fit more of them in the same space). I’m guessing the original DP connector form factor wasn’t made with such high power in mind, so it would make a lot of sense to use the spare signal pins for power delivery in this case. Running too much power through too few small pins can damage the contacts, by either by instant-welding the contact surfaces or by overheating the connector (see NVIDIA GPUs) ((also high voltages can cause arcing, which even in the best case will seriously degrade any connector)).
Take all of this with a huge grain of salt cause I just learned this stuff like a month ago, and my department has nothing to do with any of it. Just though someone might find it interesting.

Hi! I actually work at a major electrical connector company, so maybe I can shed some light on this.
I have no idea.
