Judging by the name RungeKutta62, named after a class of numerical integration methods and thus two mathematicians, I’d say they’re a nerd themselves.

Every other year the EU tries to pass another mass surveillance law - and the EU court of human rights rules it illegal.

Populism is basically about simple solutions for complicated problems, and blaming every problem on a certain group of people.

From the right, the most prominent example is immigrants, while from the left, it’s mostly rich people.

It’s afro American sociolect.

Honestly, I could see Jacob Collier doing just that.

Wtf? I had a very buggy experience. Maybe it was because I was playing it in multiplayer, but I had glitches every 20 minutes and it crashed like every other hour.

More precisely: If you repeatedly draw values from a probability distribution and sum them up, the sum tends towards a Gaussian (central limit theorem).

Maybe I just mixed up the fact that proper industrial use is vastly overestimated/overhyped with that there is little use. I will do some research.

I don’t think I was talking about this, interesting. Because in the video I mentioned she was fine with trans athletes competing together with cis athletes, which seemed very progressive to me. But I’m happy to be proven wrong.

Thanks for this productive discourse, not ad hominem at all. You’re welcome to criticize my views and I’m happy to learn. And I am doing my physics masters, so I think I am no complete idiot. But this is also not productive.

Edit: I’m focusing on cosmology, I’m not claiming to be a quantum computing expert. That was just my last state of knowledge and I’m always happy to learn.

Are you talking about her video on trans athletes? I don’t remember it being transphobic.

She might have strong opinions on particle physics and I do take them with a grain of salt, but I don’t see objectively wrong things in there.

I am a physicist and truly appreciate the effect of quantum computing on our simulations, but with “real world” I meant proper industrial use. And for that, there are hardly any algorithms known except Shor’s. When the CEO of Deutsche Bank says he will do his bank transactions on a quantum computer, you know the topic is over-hyped.

Edit: A video that explains this by a theoretical physicist working on the foundations of quantum mechanics

Currently, there is basically only one real world application we really know: Factoring numbers into prime factors. And we can’t know for sure whether there will be more even.

I use Arch, btw, btw

Watch everyone forget that correlation doesn’t equal causation when it confirms their biases.

Has to be Debussy and Chopin for me.

I recently was in the BMW museum and they actually had a whole section dedicated to their Nazi past and how they want to never do that again. Do with that what you will but at least they’re not shoving it under the carpet.
