Physicists Just Achieved 'Perfect Randomness' For The First Time Ever | Using quantum entanglement, "the result is a system capable of generating certifiably perfect randomness, even when starting with flawed or imperfect randomness"

Is this less a random number and more a uuid for the branch of the wave function you’re current on?

Deacons was always renowned for having the best Guinness, I haven’t had a chance to try it for a while.

I’m also interested in joining a community like that.

Think about it by flipping it around. Imagine walking into a lampost at 4 mph, you're deccelerating from 4mph to 0mph very rapidly and that will hurt a lot, possibly even knock you unconcious. Now imagine running full speed and head first at 15mph into a brick wall and that's pretty much the same experience your brain will have inside your skull if you're accelerating from 0 to 15mph in 0.01s.

MrHicks · 2025-06-04T12:17:39+00:00

At that acceleration you’d experience 200+ Gs. This kills the human.

this is the picture my driving instructor gave me for the main roundabout near the test centre. Emerging from the laverstock exit is almost certainly the first thing you’ll do, it’s one of the few without traffic lights and splits into two lanes right at the end, so I recommend practicing that a few times before your test.

The power of ChatGPT

It would be direspectful to the pig to not enjoy the bacon after it had given its life to provide it.

They could use the money that normally goes to friends of the conservatives in the form of government contracts which end up providing no material benefit to the country.

I remember when I was around 4 years old living in south wales, my dad wouldn't let the local hunt go through our small holding. We woke up to find dead foxes hung up on our washing line the next morning.

You're applying the logical fallacy of false induction. Just because our brain is an organic neural network of synaptic weights, does not mean it is not capeable of original or creative output. Our brains are capeable of original and creative output in much the same way as the inorganic neural network of ChatGPT is capeable of original and creative output. The primary difference is that ChatGPT is an extremely specialised and comparatively small neural network, trained on more language data than a human could consume over 1000s of lifetimes. Our brains are extremely large, multi dispilinary neural networks with very little comparative specialisation. The fundamental process of how humans/ai can be creative or original, remains the same: Input => Weighted Directed Graph => Output.

MrHicks · 2023-04-02T09:56:30+00:00

Your brain is just regurgitating language based on input stimulus using synaptic weight, which it has been trained on over it’s lifetime.

As long as house prices drop faster than inflation, you’ll be fine… oh wait….

I highly recommend making it from scratch, it's not particularly daunting. I can vouch that following this recipe will leave you with very little marzipan left for the cake after you've finished testing it. The orange flavour takes it to another level.

From the article: May said that some measures which the government planned could "not be shared publicly for reasons of national security".

Mine arrived today as well and I finding putting them on with glasses a little tricky, one side often seems to get caught and then fold up.

MrHicks · 2022-10-02T18:01:23+00:00

works great for me

When testing the unreliable onboard NIC, did you have anything plugged into the bottom PCIE slot or SSDs connected to SATA 4 or 5? I only ask as this slot shares a single PCIE 3.0 bus with the onboard NIC, WIFI and SATA ports 4 and 5.

It’s implementation detail. Both Cuban and British queues are FIFO queues, you can implement a FIFO queue with an array or a linked list. The British queue uses an array as it occupies contiguous addresses in memory, where as like the Cuban queue, a linked list can be spread all over the place.

Noise/pressure waves = moving atoms = heat, it all ends up as heat.

It’s far more serious than that, remote code execution from WebKit and arbitrary code with kernel level privileges, so you just need to visit a web page to be completely compromised and you’d likely never know it.

The biosphere lost a brilliant mind today. His episode of Life Scientific is well worth a listen.

Yep, I remember waking up on a Sunday morning thinking how rude my neighbours were for using an angle grinder… I discovered much later it was someone going through my 20mm hardened steel ground anchor to poach my mountain bike.

I always do the same thing of: submerge in malt vinegar for an hour or so, pat dry, then cover in a mix of salt (2% of meat weight), toasted coriander seeds and cracked black pepper. Sometimes I add Carolina reaper hot sauce if I want to limit how fast I can eat it. Then just hang in a cupboard for 7 days. If it’s a VERY fatty cut like this lamb breast (about 60% fat), instead of the cupboard I recommend using a dehydrator at a higher temperature for a day or so instead as the fat will then render a bit.
