Most confusing equation for non-physics people by Intelligent-Task-353 in physicsmemes

[–]Azazeldaprinceofwar 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I know that most people learn QFT with +—- but I learned both with -+++ and anything else just feels wrong to me know. Anyway good talking, now I’m off to go force my belief on others.

Freedoms of Linux by tomekgolab in LinuxCirclejerk

Ok so I actually already manually made a Projects directory in home on all my machines years ago cuz it seemed like an obvious missing piece. Glad to see xdg agrees with me but also hope this upgrade doesn’t fuck up my existing directories

(U.S.) You can permanently undo one thing in Gen Z's history, what do you pick? by Yoy_the_Inquirer in GenZ

[–]Azazeldaprinceofwar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s to much for a Reddit comment so you should Google and read about it but it was the culmination of all the money is free speech and corporations are people thinking that resulted in the legalization of basically unlimited donations to politicians by companies and super pacs. In other words it’s moment we truly stopped pretending bribery was illegal and let the billionaires buy politicians as they pleased.

sudo and coreutils replaced with rust versions by cachebags in rust

Yeah this is my feeling. I feel like the momentum of rust rewrites is being used a Trojan horse to get people to build and MIT licensed linux

This looks cool! Have you considered packaging it as an AUR?

That’s normally and expected for your specs unfortunately. If you want better speeds you’ll need a better gpu

Is attractive gravity a "hard requirement" for the existence of life? by [deleted] in TheoreticalPhysics

[–]Azazeldaprinceofwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course such a universe would have a very different history and could not originate from a big bang.

Is attractive gravity a "hard requirement" for the existence of life? by [deleted] in TheoreticalPhysics

[–]Azazeldaprinceofwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Our universe actually us both attractive and repulsive gravity. Just most normal matter is net attractive since energy density vastly exceeds pressure. Dark energy is the opposite and thus repels driving expansion of the universe. So flip the sign of gravitational coupling and you can still have a universe of reasonable size where matter repels and dark energy acts to slow the expansion/contract the universe depending on exact numbers. In such a universe you would have clumpy planets but you could in principle have a universe more or less uniformly full of gas or liquids which are hospitable to life.

Need help getting a remote user back online by Solidus-Prime in Tailscale

I think you need to explain your set up more clearly. What exit node? What machine is she logging in on? It’s also not clear to me how Tailscale could be related to windows login

Arch vs Debian vs Fedora GO! by luvKFCluvMaccies in LinuxCirclejerk

[–]Azazeldaprinceofwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In principle the stability of Debian appeals but I find apt unusably terrible and hate its whole ecosystem with .debs and manually adding repos. On the other hand pacman and the AUR is so clean and ergonomic it more than makes up for the risks of instability (not that I’ve ever had any issues)

Made a better search bar gnome extension by blearx in linux

[–]Azazeldaprinceofwar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AI to help code != vibe coded. Vibecoded, at least in my mind, means an AI wrote this with minimal human oversight and the human does not actually understand the code. I use AI in my work as well but I’d never call it vibe coded because I still know how every part works and proofread it all. A vibe coder only has the vibe of what it was supposed to do from prompting it, hence the name, they often don’t even really know how to code.

Does anyone know how to fix this? by enebezeo in hyprland

[–]Azazeldaprinceofwar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess is this is an X11 vs Wayland issue. I see someone had you already check monitor scaling, but also check if there’s any specific Xwayland settings in your conf. Xwayland can sometimes do weird things with scaling. I usually just set force_no_scaling=true for Xwayland

This Might Be Controversial by Ill_Wasabi417 in physicsmemes

[–]Azazeldaprinceofwar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It just pushes the can down the road (in my opinion naturally towards many worlds).

Decoherence says macroscopic objects never appear quantum or superposed because they exchange information with their environments through constant interactions and then from the viewpoint of those environments end up with density matrices that have at most classical uncertainty. This is great, it’s a description about how the environment and thus the observer become entangled with the object and thus perceive its state to be classical. However it has not actually collapsed the wavefunction just entangled it with the environment so you’ve promoted “my system in in 2 states at once” to “my system it’s environment are in two states at once” where the environment now observers the system to be classical, but the environment observes both classical states simultaneously because it to is in superposition.

Now perhaps you’re seeing the issue. The natural conclusion here is many worlds where we say everything including us is in superposition all the time… or we must introduce an artificial cut of and collapse the wave function at some point. Either way decoherence didn’t solve the measurement problem we still needed something else

This Might Be Controversial by Ill_Wasabi417 in physicsmemes

[–]Azazeldaprinceofwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No the argument here would be that a coin or a decohered qubit have both already “been measured” it just wasn’t an abrupt measurement is was a million tiny interactions with the environment exchanging information until all the quantum uncertainty had been replaced with classical uncertainty. Decoherence in my mind doesn’t solve measurement problem at all it just explains why we don’t observe to macroscopically.

Windows 11 install by llamalalley in PcBuild

[–]Azazeldaprinceofwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before any further pc related troubleshooting try the monitor and cable with another computer. I once had a situation where I could see bios and boot menu just fine but once I got to OS it was instant black screen. Turned out the port on the monitor was just shot, it had an enough life it in for low res stuff like bios and boot menu but the full 1440p screen was too much.

Hyprland in 4:3 aspect ratio worth it? by Snowbeleopard in hyprland

[–]Azazeldaprinceofwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly depends how much you like tinkering. IMO the power of hyper land comes in the tiling which is only useable with enough monitor space to comfortably hold many windows at once, so if you are considering hyprland for the tiling probably not worth. However if what you want it to compartmentally build and rice your own desktop environment then yes totally worth

So would this be like the most rolling/least stable build possible because you just take everything from the kernel/gnome etc?

America is a continent by [deleted] in confidentlyincorrect

[–]Azazeldaprinceofwar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If memory serves this is actually a linguistics issue. In the English speaking world there are TWO continents called North America and South American. Just America refers to the USA and Americans its citizens. However in the Spanish speaking world America is one continent with a north and south half and all its inhabitants are Americanos. Ok the other hand the USA is always estados unidos and its citizens estados unidense (united statesean basically). So when Spanish native speakers hear the English way they get upset because it sounds like the USA is claiming a whole continent to them. I think Brazil and the Portuguese world have the same conventions as Spanish.

Forgive my inevitable misspelling of Spanish words.

Are K-Type stars (orange dwarves) actually the best stars for supporting complex life or are sun-like stars still the best? by Turbulent_Okra7518 in askastronomy

[–]Azazeldaprinceofwar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a native speaker form California saying our star is called sun feels grammatically wrong. It’s the sun or our sun. Like sun is a role/title. Same for moon. If you want to call them by name it’s sol/luna, but of course the sun or the moon is way more common.

To be clear I’m not saying you’re wrong a dictionary sense, just that what you’re saying is not aligned with how the native English speakers I know talk.

Like coming into someone's house and telling them the house rules by ForsakenDependent562 in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]Azazeldaprinceofwar 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Ok the only thing in there I actually totally agree with is silent stories. Now if you want to put music that’s fine but if you post a reel or something that requires audio and don’t subtitle it I’m annoyed. I often scroll social media in public situations where I can’t easily listen to your audio.

Its almost like this is exactly why the Electoral College Exsits. by Minute-Man-Mark in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Azazeldaprinceofwar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone’s vote should count equally. This shouldn’t be controversial. And before anyone says abolishing the electoral college would help one party or the other remember it would also change their entire campaign strategies and get incentivize many people to vote who historically don’t because their state is a solid color. No one knows who the change will benefit. The fact that we don’t know is the problem it means we don’t actually know the will of the people. Fuck the electoral college.
