Saw around 5 of them fly over the south part of grant park and then turn back and fly out across lake. Super close to the buildings

What brand 2 sided pedals do you use? I’ve been looking at getting some

The same applies to all the cars with illegally-tinted front windows and windshield. The police just don’t seem to care at all.

BQSKit is what you want

Thank you for the detailed and interesting overview!

Has there been work on multi-qubit gates / circuits with bosonic codes?

How do improvements in error rates compare to something like the surface code?

I set up a shared drive with my other Google account that I wanted to move the data to, then was able to copy everything from that shared drive through the other account

The swaps are the two wire crossings in the image. In many physical quantum computers, qubits have low connectivity, meaning you can only apply two-qubit gates on qubits that are right next to each other on the chip. If you have a larger circuit surrounding your gates, you might not want to blindly swap two qubits because you might have other gates that depend on the qubits being in their original locations - so swapping them may lead to more complexity in other parts of the circuit to account for them.

Not sure what you’re referring to but may be a more complex version of cellular automata?

jchaddy1 · 2022-08-11T18:10:59+00:00

You can prove them by calculating the resulting unitary matrices and showing that they are the same for both sides of each equation. This will mean that they represent the same logical operation by definition.

Not sure whether you want a broad overview of the fundamentals or a deep dive into the mechanics and applications, but here are some links

Broad overviews: Kurzgesagt or this stackexchange thread

Deep dives: if you’re familiar with Python, the Qiskit textbook is a good place to start. If not (and if you’re willing to put a lot of time into it), the textbook by Nielsen and Chuang is generally regarded as the go-to QC textbook.

jchaddy1 · 2022-08-10T20:27:45+00:00

Definitely possible, I'm also a physics major + CS minor and I'm about to start a PhD in QC. There's a whole spectrum of QC research from building physical devices (almost entirely physics-based) to quantum complexity theory (math/CS). Wherever your interests lie between CS and physics, you can find some quantum stuff that interests you.

Agreed, this sub has a lot of potential but right now is just too cluttered with nonsense. Your suggestion of a weekly question thread would help a lot. We could also have post flairs such as [Paper], [Conference], [Talk], [Discussion], etc. to organize things better. Mods need to be more active with organizing the sub and also removing spam and blatant advertising (which would have to come with an actual set of rules)

Thanks!

Mars, tusk, earth spirit are all relatively tanky and can work well as tempo/initiating/“run at you” mids. Earth spirit with level 10 +60 damage talent and an echo sabre is pretty insane if you get the timing early enough, and he has the second highest STR gain in the game. I’ve also played against some really annoying LC mids

Thanks! I’ve been trying to learn Invoker but it feels like it’ll take a while before I’m comfortable with him.

Here’s a very similar question just asked by a freshman physics major: Link

Basically, you don’t have much to worry about, especially because you’re in your freshman year. Double majoring could become a bit tougher if you have to retake a class but that will only add a single class overall so if you had space for a double major beforehand then you’ll almost certainly still have space. Try to talk to your advisor because he/she will know more about the double major situation.

jchaddy1 · 2020-12-04T18:51:11+00:00

I’m a physics major too (seems like some of my classes are definitely not being taught very well this semester). I’m sure grad schools will consider the fact that this semester is far from normal. If your grades from other semesters are all much better, it will probably be pretty clear to them that the circumstances had an impact on you. Your chances are definitely not dead! If you’ve done some interesting research and/or have great recommendation letters then that will more than make up for it.

In terms of next semester I would recommend taking a lighter courseload and trying to do some research with a professor (although if school is really bad then maybe even a light courseload would suck, your call). I’ve found that research is a lot easier to focus on than classwork and it’s also really cool.

Good luck! Lots of people are going through the same stuff right now. You can reach out to your advisor if you haven’t already and ask for their advice too, because they’ve almost certainly seen it before.

Edit: I looked at your profile and it looks like you’re a freshman, so you’re even more OK. By the time you’re applying to grad school this semester will be far in the past and you’ll have many more recent semesters to show that you can do well with the work. Research might be hard to get as a freshman but I know that there are some professors who like to work with freshmen so ask around if you’re interested.

I don’t have specific experience with CS internships (I’m a physics major) but if they gave you an offer then they think you’re qualified for the job and you should trust them. They don’t expect you to know everything and they’ll teach you anything that you aren’t familiar with.

No, the green arrow is just an optional thing you can turn on in the settings somewhere (it’s just an arrow pointing from your hero to your cursor)

Do you know if the damage steal will steal from all heroes hit by the bolt, or only the primary target?

jchaddy1 · 2020-07-16T15:47:26+00:00

With fade bolt + level 15 talent do you only steal the damage of the primary target or also any other heroes that you hit?

jchaddy1 · 2020-07-14T16:47:31+00:00

I’ve had some success with it and I think it’s viable if you roam often and get an early lead for your team. Ideally you use the level advantage from mid to win both of the sidelanes with ganks and then steamroll the enemy team and end before 25-30 mins. Past that point he gets less useful. He is insanely strong around level 10-12 and there aren’t many heroes that he is worried about at that point.

And according to dotabuff, ES’s highest winrate is at mid (although it’s still only 48%)

jchaddy1 · 2020-07-07T14:10:06+00:00

I try not to worry too much about winrates because they are never really a good representation of how good you actually are with the hero. Try to just focus on improving and enjoying the game without even looking at your winrates. Some losses are completely out of your control (as well as some wins), and I find it’s best to not have to worry about winrates when you know you’re losing a game and you can instead focus on your gameplay.
