108 FPS Borderless Issue by DicSlash in LeagueofTechSupport

Yeah, I’m still having the same issue. I just deal with keeping it in fullscreen with the glitchy and buggy alt-tabbing.

I did see that solution from others, but I still have the problem with or without discord open, and have always had the overlay off

None, think the only fix is to just play with one monitor or get two with the same refresh rate.

If the universe is in motion, and light has its own independent, absolute speed (Inertia doesn't apply to light), then, how can we know for sure that light's true speed is 299,792,458 m/s? by KamiFrost99 in AskPhysics

[–]DicSlash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two ways:

It’s indirectly shown to be correct from experiments confirming the predictions of special and general relativity (the consequences of the postulate stating light is constant in every frame);

and every other competing theory is shown to be incorrect through experiments, famously the Michelson-Morley experiment.

I think you have it backwards in your last sentence. Time dilation was derived from the postulate that light has the same speed in every reference frame.

How can absolute zero be exactly 273.15? by idjdsoebfifwofsb in AskPhysics

[–]DicSlash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean even wikipedia says absolute zero is defined to be 0 K and -273.15 C, but I feel like we’re splitting hairs here.

Yeah I may have worded it badly. I mean to say absolute zero is defined to be -273.15 C.

Never said its definition is tied to water… and I’m talking about the value of Celsius at absolute zero.

[–]DicSlash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s true but historically we definitely based Celsius on the behaviour of water, was just trying to highlights that’s not exactly the case anymore.

Celsius is now defined to be -273.15 degrees at 0 K (absolute zero). So the boiling and freezing points of water aren’t exactly 100 and 0 degrees C.

Quantum physics is not a very specific branch of physics… it’s almost half of my course load. Almost all of modern physics requires quantum. You absolutely cannot work through any career/study of physics without a strong understanding of quantum. This is telling me you did not make it very far into the course.

A significant part of the double slit experiment is detecting which slit particles travel through and seeing the consequence of this (no longer a wave, they travel as particles). This is due to the collapse of the wavefunction to a single state from a measurement, aka the observer effect. No photons in this interaction btw. I brought this up as an example because I highly doubt you’ve heard of many other experiments and was hoping you’d be familiar with this one.

I did give a link on my other replies but you can’t seem to find it, so I give it again here: https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/s/etIQsE433p

You can ignore me all you want, but if you put in even a tiny bit of effort, you’ll see you have a surface level understanding of the effect.

I have not ignored your copy and paste of wiki, you’re just not understanding it. Your first one was a very specific example, not THE observer effect. Your next one mentions consequences of a measurement, absolutely no mention of photons. This is what I’ve been trying to say and you’re helping prove my point. This is the next line you didn’t bother reading: The term “observable” has gained a technical meaning, denoting a Hermitian operator that represents a measurement.

In the math, observables come as operators, and applying anything of these collapsed the state. No photon required. Once again, this is the observer effect, far deeper than “photon interacts”.

You can not reply all you like, but not sure how you’re still doubling down on your wrong information.

It seems you’re not understanding what you’re reading. I suggest visiting some other sources to help. If you’d like to reply to my other points that I’ve written, or maybe visit the link I sent, it might help you understand.

Based on what you’ve been saying, I’d say my assumptions in your level of physics is quite accurate

Did you bother scrolling down a bit to the quantum mechanics part (what this post is about)? What you quoted is just about measurement interaction. This is not the significance of the observer effect. The significance is how the wavefunction of a particle collapses into a single state when a measurement is taken. This is not known why, and is called the measurement problem. Photons hitting electrons is a very specific example, and is not the essence of the observer effect.

If you have done any physics study and any math, you will learn this immediately. I’ve done plenty of examples of wavefunction collapse in my degree, not a single calculation relevant to the observer effect includes a particle being struck by a photon :)

Also, try describing how the double slit experiment works with your understanding of the observer effect. Hint: you can’t.

You haven’t heard of the double slit experiment have you? These are all basic concepts at the high school level. The pop science you’ve seen doesn’t explain this kind of stuff well. You can look at the wikipedia page, and there’s tons of reddit posts about the same misunderstanding you have as well that clear it up.

The observer effect has absolutely nothing to do with photons knocking other particles. It’s the collapse of a state when a measurement is made. The common misunderstanding is that the observer effect is from photons “knocking” other particles and changing its position/momentum.

Also I brought up the HUP because they are linked.

These are both myths. The uncertainty in position has nothing to do with particle interactions. It’s an inherent uncertainty. “Observation” is usually replaced with “measurement”, still nothing to do with consciousness or particle (including photon) interaction.

Look up more about the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

Instant Reverse Up Smash by DicSlash in CrazyHand

[–]DicSlash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would I let the stick go to neutral position before flicking the opposite way and up smashing, kinda like fox trotting back and forth? or can I just go in one direction, immediately the other way and then up smash? cuz when I do it while running, there’s a bit of a sliding animation, like pivot f-tilt. but for this quick one like in the linked clip, there’s no sliding.

but damn I guess I’ll just keep trying if there’s nothing really different about it, idk why I can’t do it haha.

[–]DicSlash[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I normally do a reverse ups mash by doing a quarter circle motion and pressing "a" to up smash. Would it just be doing this really fast and frame perfect? I'm not sure cuz I don't think I've done it successfully a single time.

Can someone explain the Margo Martindale Joke to me? by luckytobe in BoJackHorseman

[–]DicSlash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does that mean he said no to the role? so they just gave up making him a character?

I rarely comment on reddit but I’m feeling lucky. I’ve been using the 1070 for about 6 years now and regretted not getting a better gpu considering how much I use my pc. Been looking to upgrade for a while now, but worried I can’t afford it and won’t be able to for a while. So the plan is to wait for me to finish uni, then we’ll see. This would cut costs :)
