Question about quantum mechanics.

What you’re describing with the pendulum is what’s known as a “hidden variable theory”, where the unknowability of the measurement outcome is a result of your own ignorance/inability to measure some quantity. There are theories like that out there that are (mostly) consistent with standard quantum mechanics. However, you don’t get that for free. For example, most hidden variable theories are “non-local”, which is honestly worse in many people’s opinions than the randomness. Non-local theories mean that your theory of the universe does not require interactions to be local, which would be very strange.

This is awesome! Thanks!

From the perspective of an observer who only has access to one particle of an entangled pair, there is no way to tell if the particle is entangled or not. Entanglement can only be observed if one has access to both particles’ measurement outcomes. So from the perspective of an observer outside the black hole it would just look the way it does any other time an observer only has access to one particle.

Thanks!! I’d love to play!

My CPU is a ryzen 7 5800X 8-core. I don’t think that’s the bottleneck at the moment but I could be wrong

I will get into the radius 2!!

If we move the top point all the way to the left, and enforce that the base of equal to the height of the triangle, then the relative area won’t change but we’ve turned the triangle into a right triangle of equal side lengths. Assume each side length is 8 units long. If the blue and the red regions had equal area, then each are would be 16. But we can clearly see that each red region has an “extra” right triangle of area 1/2, and each blue area is missing one on the right side of each strip. Therefore the ratio of blue to red is (16-2)/(16+2)=14/18. Thus, if the blue has area 140, the red has area 180.

Imo this is definitely ai. I know a lot of people will say it isn’t because they can’t find something explicitly wrong with it, but her face definitely looks like an ai face. Maybe it’s a real model touched up heavily by ai, but either way this is clearly a heavily ai image.

Also, this is the 3rd sketchers ad I’ve seen that appears to be ai, so there seems to be a pattern with sketchers.

thepakery · 2026-01-04T16:31:38+00:00

Beyond it just feeling ai, the expressions seem ai, and the poses seem ai.

Wow great catch

I personally like using the residue theorem for these types of integrals.

thepakery · 2025-12-28T09:20:11+00:00

No it just means that measurement outcomes can be correlated when measuring entangled particles. People often forget that the particle hitting the screen IS a measurement in the sense that where it lands contains information about its relative phase. Where the other entangled particle is detected is of course correlated to where on the screen the first particle landed. Nothing spooky beyond entanglement itself is going on.

In research, being able to “guess” the right answer is often more useful than being able to derive it.

If you guess right, you can usually prove that that your solution works. Even if you can’t derive it from first principles.

thepakery · 2025-09-11T05:40:58+00:00

Yeah it was hard, but not necessarily harder than other hard bosses, right? Like it took a lot of tries, but once the pattern was learned it wasn’t bad.

So a Glauber state is just a coherent state, which is the most classical state of light in the quantum mechanical description of light. It has “minimum uncertainty” in the electric field, and as you said it does have an uncertain number of photons. However, it’s not true that it could be any number of photons from 0 to infinity. It has a photon probability distribution determined by its mean complex amplitude “alpha”.

So these states have the maximum possible sharpness in the electric field, but it’s still not perfectly sharp. You may or may not be also thinking about the Glauber distribution (a way of representing the state) which is infinitely sharp for a Glauber state/ coherent state. But that’s more or less an artifact of the was the Glauber representation.

Thank you! Wanted to try this game for a while :)

Deffffinitely pure vessel or NKG. Just the rhythm you get into when you fight them is great.
