Judging by the name RungeKutta62, named after a class of numerical integration methods and thus two mathematicians, I’d say they’re a nerd themselves.

Every other year the EU tries to pass another mass surveillance law - and the EU court of human rights rules it illegal.

Well, as the URL says, that’s logistic growth and not exponential growth.

I had to derive osmotic pressure for my statistical mechanics exam in my bachelor’s. So in what sense don’t we know?

Thank you for the explanation!

Could someone explain how paying a person not to publicly talk about what you did is illegal? If a company does this, it’s called NDA. Is it because prostitution is illegal in the US?

Pretty sure a court told them to.

Yeah, you’re technically right, but everyone just fully associates Pokémon with Nintendo.

Most of the time? Doesn’t it mainly lag when moving to a different region? It also looks really good.

Well, except Pokémon. But we don’t talk about Pokémon.

A .tar.gz is a regular archive, the file manager shouldn’t assume it’s a program. Also, how do you expect it to work? There’s no general rule for archives. As for appimages, one of their selling points is that you can run them portably, so it shouldn’t install by default, but run. However, a right click install option would be nice.

Or do it like Nintendo with Zelda and just delay it until it’s finished. Definitely don’t do it like Nintendo with Pokémon tho.

More precisely: If you repeatedly draw values from a probability distribution and sum them up, the sum tends towards a Gaussian (central limit theorem).

Maybe I just mixed up the fact that proper industrial use is vastly overestimated/overhyped with that there is little use. I will do some research.

I don’t think I was talking about this, interesting. Because in the video I mentioned she was fine with trans athletes competing together with cis athletes, which seemed very progressive to me. But I’m happy to be proven wrong.

Thanks for this productive discourse, not ad hominem at all. You’re welcome to criticize my views and I’m happy to learn. And I am doing my physics masters, so I think I am no complete idiot. But this is also not productive.

Edit: I’m focusing on cosmology, I’m not claiming to be a quantum computing expert. That was just my last state of knowledge and I’m always happy to learn.

Are you talking about her video on trans athletes? I don’t remember it being transphobic.

She might have strong opinions on particle physics and I do take them with a grain of salt, but I don’t see objectively wrong things in there.

I am a physicist and truly appreciate the effect of quantum computing on our simulations, but with “real world” I meant proper industrial use. And for that, there are hardly any algorithms known except Shor’s. When the CEO of Deutsche Bank says he will do his bank transactions on a quantum computer, you know the topic is over-hyped.

Edit: A video that explains this by a theoretical physicist working on the foundations of quantum mechanics

Currently, there is basically only one real world application we really know: Factoring numbers into prime factors. And we can’t know for sure whether there will be more even.
