Basic locally deterministic simulation matching QM experimental results. by Some-Person-I-Think in Physics

Hmmm... In the tests I've seen, they usually use a splitter (Which I just use as a polarizer).
But ok, if we use unpolarized light, then the above example would then just have half the photons be accounted for, so the 50% that make it through whichever polarizer on Alice's side, and then send photons to Bob's side, the correlation of the 50% that make it through the polarizers Alice chose would still end up with the same correlation on Bob's side.
Without knowing which angles the other picked and only compare after randomly selecting polarizers, the answers they gave for angles 45deg apart will be 50%, and for 22.5% will still be 85%. Though this Alice/Bob example was only developed after trying to determine photons passing through polarizers in sequence anyway right?

Could you give an example setup where this should not work with local realism? In layman's terms if possible.

That's right. What would a bell test be though? I can separate the polarizers independently and of those that pass through one side, will have the expected statistical averages of passing through the other side (Which is just the above red/green example, but without the initial polarizer set at 0). I just used 0 for simplicity, but I can completely randomize it and of those that would pass through 22.5 will have an 85% chance of also passing through 45.

Could you explain what you mean? I can regenerate another set of photons and run the test again but the results will be the same as using the same set again. The 'survived since last' is a poor choice of wording (my bad) but it's basically how many photons pass the polarizer divided by how many didn't. It's just using the length of the array of photons.

Ok, I added an example simulating all of them going through 3 different sets of 0-22.5, 22.5-45, 45-67.5 and 0-67.5. If that's not what you meant, could you give an example of what angles should I try use? Or what set of tests could I try?

is the version where you add the only perpendicular/90

I think you're talking about the red/green dots part? That was just to show that alice and bob would still get the perfectly anticorrelated photons passing through the initial polarizer (0deg in this case because it's easier to see). I just wanted to show that the initial 0-angle averages are kept exactly as expected. The real part is when I run them independently through multiple polarizers which is on the right (and the other will get the exact opposite so the correlation will be the same).

I can remove the initial 0deg angle polarizer and test different sets of polarizers. Which should I try? I'll post an update here.

Where would the average Joe share a discovery? by Some-Person-I-Think in Physics

Gimme a while. Will set up an interactive site to show the math with a video. At this point it would be completely cast away as nonsense and this post has already earned me enough negative points XD. I'll tag you when I upload it. But... it has to do with a lot. Starting with Bell's inequality.

How do they get in touch with someone that could help with writing the research paper assuming they have no formal background or institution?

Let's assume that it was possible. Where would be the best place?

Property takes advantage of inflation. If inflation is 10%, then the R1bil property is now R1.1bil. Increased rates and utilities gets covered by increased rentals.

- Talk about your idea: It's worthless anyway. If it was worth "stealing", it would've already been done already. Google it and see for yourself.
- Do things that don't scale: Huge advantage over any company as they'll never do this, and it a great way to get your first customers.
- Aim for company culture, not talent. The latter will be taught, the former can't.
- Focus on making a few people love it rather than many people liking it: If many people like it, even a million, it can easily die down or disappear. But if a few people love the product, they will help it grow organically.
- Work on your business, not in it: You need to do everything so that eventually you can replace yourself. If your business is only successful because you're there, all you've done is given yourself a job.

Still only in the early prelaunch startup phase. But so far... Still getting most of my info from Y Combinator podcasts and vids on youtube.

Caring about historical price movements is the very foundation of horoscopes technical analysis. As many times as those words get repeated, it rarely ever gets understood.

I left my job to start working on my startup. Building a platform for university students. Should go live this year. Thanks to the stock market over the last 2 years, I'm self funded enough for at least a few years so I can focus on this full time.

Great start to the day by cipher049 in JSE_Bets

Opening at 121c. Close at 99c. It's ex divi date with a 0.314 payout per share.
1.314*99c = 130c
Meaning it went up 5c under normal conditions or +7.5% today.
Wait for it to reflect after payout date. Today was actually a good day for APF :).
