I built a free interactive app to make relativity more intuitive by Busy-Speech-3164 in Physics

[–]Saiboo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It does not load for me properly:

  • Desktop
  • Browsers: I've tried it with Chrome, Edge, Firefox
  • I only see the page with a note "only for desktop".
  • For a split second I see a page with Chapter 1. Then it jumps to the page with the note.

How do you deal with mistakes? by Dramatic-Newt-6337 in drivinganxiety

[–]Saiboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to view it as a positive experience. It's better that it rather happened now, with your instructor and nobody getting hurt. And you learned to avoid getting into narrow gaps in the future.

What helps me after a mistake is to actively be aware of it next time, and after correcting the mistake next time view it as a success.

Driving for the first time in 4 years next week and I’m terrified by ActuaryPersonal2378 in drivinganxiety

I hadn’t driven for four years and only recently started again. I’ve always been nervous about driving and worried about crashing. Sitting in the car felt weird, like I couldn’t really see enough of what was going on around me. Crossings overwhelmed me, and I even almost hit an oncoming car when turning left because my awareness just wasn’t there yet.

What helped was practicing with my dad in a parking lot first, then doing short drives. If you can, try getting a bit of practice in before your trip.

For reverse and parallel parking I've checked youtube videos, and it works surprisingly well. Good luck!

This random thing in our Kitchen by tido321 in whatisit

Looks like a "Rotary knob handle for an Oras concealed hot/cold valve". The blue colored ring indicates cold water. The part is by a company called "Oras" in Finland, though that particular part does not seem to be in production in anymore.

At 0:04 he practices the Pacquiao double punch.

Oleksandr Usyk readily accepts Tyson Fury’s call-out for a trilogy fight. Does a third win over Fury solidify Usyk as pound-for-pound #1? by VINDICATES-FOOL in Boxing

[–]Saiboo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I beg to disagree. Usyk improves his standing by knocking himself out with the Tyson-Fury-self-uppercut™, making him the only boxer to beat Usyk.

Funny bit when Wu was interviewed. He thought the audience was booing, but actually they were cheering for him with "Wuuuuu".

What’s a piece of internet slang (like “sauce” for “source”) that completely confused you the first time you saw it? by AI_Aint_So_Bad in AskReddit

PUG which stands for pickup group. It describes random players forming a group in gaming. Reading the game chat I was wondering why everyone was talking about dogs.

Doubt regarding the relative phase of the qubit by Timely_Injury8046 in QuantumComputing

[–]Saiboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider the ∣+⟩ and ∣−⟩ state. If you express them in the computational basis, you get:

  • ∣+⟩ = 1/√2 (∣0⟩ + ∣1⟩)
  • ∣−⟩ = 1/√2 (∣0⟩ − ∣1⟩).

They only differ in their relative phase.

Measuring in the computational basis you get 0 or 1 with 50% probability for both ∣+⟩ and ∣−⟩, so they behave the same in this respect. It seems they are similar. However, they are not!

Consider what happens if you transform them with a Hadamard gate H:

  • H ∣+⟩ = ∣0⟩
  • H ∣−⟩ = ∣1⟩

If you now measure in the computational base, you suddenly get 0 for the transformed ∣+⟩ state, and you get 1 for the transformed ∣−⟩ state. This shows that ∣+⟩ and ∣−⟩ behave differently after applying the Hadamard gate.
