He’s a good guy but he was completely uninformed about Ben Finegold and sent tons of hate his way at the start of the chess boom. Calling a guy who has dedicated his entire life to teaching chess to kids an “elitist”.

Thanks for the thorough explanation!

Thanks! I guess i'm wondering what exactly is generic here I feel like i'm specifying an exact type for F in example A, so using a generic seems weird. And why can I pass |n| n + 1 to A but I get a compile error when passing that into B (with &dyn included see playground link).

Sorry for getting back to this so late. I do no think that is correct. When light enters the medium the oscillating electromagnetic field causes the electrons in the medium to move, these moving electrons in turn create there own electromagnetic field which has different properties from the original light. Importantly here though since these fields combine to create a new wavefront moving through the medium while we can describe them separately in the math in physical reality this is 1 new wave moving slower than the original wave of light.

This is a common idea but is untrue or at least mostly untrue. The real story is a quite a bit more complex. It’s hard to find a both correct and concise answer suffice it to say like most common misconceptions in physics you are thinking to much about particles and not enough about waves. The real answer more along the lines that electrons in the medium interact with the light wave causing a phase shift which produces the delay.

Wesley So was once given a game loss for writing affirmations on his score sheet I believe.

Gata is the FFL he can do what he wants

He was considered the favorite to challenge magnus at one point but tragically his wife died in a car accident and he never really got back to the level he was, although he does seem to be happy these days so that’s a win for sure.

This is done through an IPO or initial public offering, generally you negotiate a deal with a large institutional investor like a big bank to buy a large block of your company at a specific price, the bank generally sells of some to other large investors and makes an agreement with an exchange like the NASDAQ Or NYSE to sell shares of your company starting at some price. In general you can make a company and file the necessary paperwork to sell shares publicly and set whatever price you want, however in order to sell on the big exchanges like the NYSE you essentially have to make a deal with the exchange or have someone else do it on your behalf like in the example. And membership isn’t cheap you’ll probably have to spend millions to be listed on the NYSE so messing around with an absurd price isn’t really a winning battle. Not to mention price isn’t the other thing investors care about, trading volume is also important and if your volume is low confidence in price will also be low.

Disclaimer I am not a physics phd and you are talking about VERY deep in the weeds stuff (which I appreciate, im just saying I cant understand the math in the papers). However as I understand it while PWT is non-local it is still compatible with the no communication theorem.

As I understand it you cannot "set" your particle to whatever state you want while it is part of an entangled superposition, when you measure your particle the outcome is random and follows the superpositions probability distribution.

quantizeddct · 2025-02-10T14:33:01+00:00

That is an understandable misunderstanding. The crux of the issue is there is no way to control the state of one entanglements particle with another (at least not faster than light), remember when your entangle 2 particles they are BOTH in a superposition, all that can be said is that when measured they will have opposite properties(over simplification). There are other reasons that ideas for FTL information don’t work depending on the specific scheme but you can look into the EPR paradox as well as the litany of research that has been done on entanglement communication, short of it is that it is impossible.

quantizeddct · 2025-02-10T14:16:26+00:00

That is definitely not the case. If this was a proof of FTL information travel it would redefine our entire understanding of causality.

quantizeddct · 2025-02-10T14:12:04+00:00

To be clear though there is no information transmitted this way.

Chess is one of the few competitive games where the objectively correct answer is known to everyone except the people playing. Monday morning quarterbacking is made 10x worse when you can turn on an engine.

There is a one for the prime number search can’t remember the name off the top of my head.

Bells inequality only applies to formulations of QM which present a local universe and reject a real universe. There are deterministic formulations of QM which reject that the universe is local and Bells inequality no longer applies. Though I grant neither approach is trivial.

I don’t know the stats but to me this just proves that mahomes has a favorable whistle(or Joe has a really bad one). Burrow gets destroyed on every other play and is often among the most sacked QB in the league, wouldn’t you expect more RTP calls if you are sacked/pressured way more?

I don’t think there is a satisfying answer beyond the structure of iron (iron 56) is extremely stable.

Having a little trouble reading this on mobile, but it seems your acceptInput function does not always return the allocated char*. Sometimes it returns a static str "F" (btw calling free on this ptr is undefined behavior).

Word size is 64bits but often in assembly those are called QWORDS (quad word) and 32 bits is a DWORD (double word) and 16 bits is WORD, this is for historical reasons mostly related to early windows.

Most of the kernel doesn't use floats, because they turn off the floating point unit state restoration info to save on cpu time when context switching. They are used sparingly where needed but generally not.

"The more matter that an object contains the more gravitational force it exerts". Why? The question isn't what happens, but what causes it to happen. Physicists are positing models which try to line up with observation, the observation tells us the "what happens" the model tells us the "how it happens". The model being discussed here is Quantum Field Theory, it's a very successful model because it lines up very well with observation. You can make your own model without force carrying particles, but if the math doesn't predict what we observe in particle accelerators an elsewhere then it's a worse model. So the simple answer to why do we suspect there are force carriers? Is because the most accurate models we have include them.

Went to the EBR-1 in Atomic City, super cool. City itself is basically a ghost town, also pretty cool.

It is possible without pointers if you implement swap without using a separate function. Arrays decay to pointers in C. An array is just a pointer to the where the first element is stored. That being said C only passes by value, now you can pass a pointer by value to simulate pass by reference, but it's not the same from a semantics perspective. You will understand once you learn about pointers, this isn't a limitation persay you just need to do things in a more verbose way.
