hperrin,

Cats meow to each other all the time. This is some grade A misinformation right here.

hperrin,

Ah yes, the historically marginalized vulnerable community, the cisgenders. How can a community even hope to live in peace with only 98.5% of the population?

hperrin,

How can she possibly deny that when the evidence is undeniable?

hperrin,

At the new war criminals ride?

hperrin,

That is definitely your fault for letting randos @everyone in your server.

hperrin,

Yeah, that works real well, until you wear your potassium metal shirt.

hperrin,

This is what you get with democracy. Whoever gets the most votes, wi… wait… Trump has never gotten the most votes…

hperrin,

Can I have an AI that leads spammers on for months thinking they’re going to get a big payout from me? No. Just one that scrapes my data. Ok.

Google mentioned 'AI' 120+ times during its I/O keynote (techcrunch.com)

It ran 110 minutes, but Google managed to reference AI a whopping 121 times during Google I/O 2024 (by its own count). CEO Sundar Pichai referenced the figure to wrap up the presentation, cheekily stating that the company was doing the “hard work” of counting for us

hperrin,

I’ll be really glad when this particular hype cycle dies.

hperrin,

Seems like a real good plan to have a well educated and happy workforce. I don’t see at all how policies and systems like this could lead to the downfall of a civilization.

hperrin,

God forbid the public see a nipple.

hperrin,

Still not enough to hold all my porn.

hperrin,

Surprisingly, there’s a way to run Llama 3 70b on 4GB of VRAM.

hperrin,

The helium leaked because the door plug on the helium tank fell off.

hperrin,

That is not surprising at all. That’s like saying laying off the conspiracy theory conventions for a while reduces your belief in conspiracy theories.

After the past nine years, and having a family, I think I'm sick of California

It has been really difficult to live in a state that is notorious for gangs, especially gangs that don’t resemble me. It is even more difficult when it comes time to apply for a job and I am faced with hiring committees that often are dominated by one gang, or another. It is even worse when it is a gang that seems to have...

hperrin,

From your post history and this post too, it really does sound to me like you have some form of paranoia. It might help you if you were able to see a psychiatrist and maybe go over the stories you’ve shared here. There may be a treatment that can really help you and make a positive impact on your life.

I know some people are really apprehensive about being checked for a mental illness or taking medication or treatments for one, but I can personally attest that it can really help you live a more fulfilling life.

hperrin,

Is food bad for you? Huge study reveals surprise effect that is misrepresented by this headline!

Turns out, food is fine.

hperrin,

I definitely wasn’t trying to criticize you, just the headline.

hperrin,

Am I the only one that didn’t really see this as such a bad thing? Like, it was not released software. Asking someone to refrain from making a negative review of your unreleased software seems reasonable to me. Like, maybe it should have been worded differently, like don’t make a negative review based on unfinished or buggy gameplay, but the underlying idea doesn’t seem that bad. They’re not obligated to let anyone test their pre-release software.

hperrin,

69 interrupted by a period.

hperrin,

You wait your turn, u/9point6.

hperrin,

Whoever painted the lines on that street was drunk.

(Yeah, I know it’s AI generated, that doesn’t mean I’m wrong.)

hperrin,

Try it. Just change an environment variable, then run up -d and you’ll see.

Did the premise of an entity approaching you only when it's not being viewed originate with Doctor Who's Weeping Angels?

The Weeping Angels apparently originated with Steven Moffat seeing a statue of a weeping angel in a structure in a cemetery and returning later to find out it was gone. At least according to this RadioTimes article. They first appeared in 2007 in the episode Blink....

hperrin,

That may not be the correct way of saying it. You can equally explain the data by phrasing it, “when the photon remains a wave, the which path information is nonrecoverable.”

Moreover, it’s observed that the apparent retroactive action vanishes if the effects of observations on the state of the entangledsignal and idler photons are considered in their historic order. Specifically, in the case when detection/deletion of which-way information happens before the detection on D0, the standard simplistic explanation says “The detector Di, at which the idler photon is detected, determines the probability distribution at D0 for the signal photon”. Similarly, in the case when D0 precedesdetection of the idler photon, the following description is just as accurate: “The position at D0 of the detected signal photon determines the probabilities for the idler photon to hit either of D1, D2, D3 or D4”. These are just equivalent ways of formulating the correlations of entangled photons’ observables in an intuitive causal way, so one may choose any of those (in particular, that one where the cause precedes the consequence and no retrograde action appears in the explanation).

The total pattern of signal photons at the primary detector never shows interference (see Fig. 5), so it is not possible to deduce what will happen to the idler photons by observing the signal photons alone. In a paper by Johannes Fankhauser, it is shown that the delayed choice quantum eraser experiment resembles a Bell-type scenario in which the paradox’s resolution is rather trivial, and so there really is no mystery. Moreover, it gives a detailed account of the experiment in the de Broglie-Bohm picture with definite trajectories arriving at the conclusion that there is no “backwards in time influence” present.[23] The delayed-choice quantum eraser does not communicate information in a retro-causal manner because it takes another signal, one which must arrive by a process that can go no faster than the speed of light, to sort the superimposed data in the signal photons into four streams that reflect the states of the idler photons at their four distinct detection screens.[note 2][note 3]

But more importantly, you will get the same results regardless of whether a human being is there to observe it. It’s the detection of the photon (by way of interacting with the photon detector) that matters, not whether there is a person there to observe the detection.
