Very interesting points, and I see your point between all five, although except maybe praepropere? while in theory i can see this helps syncronizing communities, especially people with different lives (such as families), to sit down for the same dinner ritual. But in practice I have friends and family some of whom 1) have very active lifestyles such as running to/from work, and so requires more snacks to keep stable energy levels and 2) they have different eating habits for other reasons such as avoiding the psychological effects of truly feeling hungry. In either way, we keep having shared dinner rituals, they just eat different amounts.
So i dont really see how the is a bad lifestyle or some ethical shortcoming, but just a rule to adhere to a specific social norm.
Hmm I don't know what to make of this, it seems like mostly a question of semantics of the scientific vs. casual use of the words attention span. The scientific use seem to refer strictly to the biological capacity to pay attention. But the laymen seem to report that they feel and act as if though they have short attention span. The science description of this phenomenon seems to be "short attention habits". So they argue that it is not about biological capacity, but the societal reward structures which enforce short attention behavior.
As a layman it is not particularly obvious to me, why they define attention span to relate to the capacity and not the habit or behavior in the first place?
I actually went to see this went I passed by Suzhou on my China trip a few years back! It is leaning quite a bit, but taking a good picture of it was difficult, as you can only really see it from one angle.
It is actually even worse, if you look at the lighting direction in the original granny picture, the seemingly only light source is the spark of the magic wand. To me this creates a sense of mystery, caution and tension, and it highlights that magic is the only tool to light the darkness.
Then in the sloppified version, they just blast the scene in lighting from the right for no reason. Their ai bot even subdues the light of the wand, making it look like a cheap prop. I also get the feeling that they change her gaze from looking at something to looking directly at the camera. So while the 2x5090 GPU slop might technically highlight more details, the entire artistic feeling just ends up with a grandma looking in a makeup mirror.
Nu er det ikke fordi jeg har lyst til at skyde ned på positive nyheder, da vi ikke har nok af det i forvejen. Men for at have et lidt mere nuanceret billede, så er det godt at vide at der også er studier der tyder på at disse "super centenarians" er korreleret med fattigdom og kort gennemsnitlig levealder, og det store antal af ældre muligvis skyldes alders- og pensions bedrag. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/704080v3.full
You need to know which basis the sender use to collapse and measure in the same basis. Then you need to sample a statistical distribution and the desired information will be the average of the distribution. This is very well proven in the Bells inequality experiment and can definitely be used to gain information.
It is clearly not very efficient in the sense a lot of transported bits are wasted to convey less information. But the advantages of instantaneous and secure communication will be worth it in some use cases.
That is, of course, if the engineering issues such as quantum repeaters (a sort of range extender) and high fidelity storage are properly solved. It is a few years ago since I did any quantum information in uni, so I don't know what the current state of things are.
For using the quantum teleportation algorithm you first have two establish entangled qubit pair, with one photon at the sender and one at the destination. This process does take the distance over speed of light amount of time. The trick is that you would pre-process this, and decide later when to and what information to encode into the qubit, allowing for "instant" information transfer. Naturally, this requires that you have a very good memory device that keeps the fidelity of the entangled qubits.
Not a search engine, but last week I learned of the European Open Websearch project, which builds a new free and open search index. It should already be ready to try out. Hopefully we will see some search engines implementing this soon.
Thought I would mention Guix. I don't know about using it as an OS but just the package manager is so nice to build reproducible software environments (although disclaimer I discovered this myself a few weeks ago). At least as close you can get without including proprietary hardware drivers. Building MPI applications on my laptop and moving them to an HPC cluster with full performance feels like magic.
The sun's spectrum at the earth surface peaks in the green color range, which should make green the most efficient choice. Although, I wonder why they have to absorb only a single or a narrow band of color.
Without knowing much about psychology, I would imagine separating the mindset into a set of orthogonal axis is pretty difficult and certainly the normal range would probably not follow a normal distribution in each axis. As a result the N-dimensional volume would not be a N-sphere but some complex topological shape. Possibly even consisting of multiple disjointed sets. If any of these assumptions are true then the global point average over the entire space may lie outside many of the "normal" ranges.
Det er en god pointe. Men jeg tænker også det er muligt at kombinere mit forslag med et typisk grundforløb. F.eks. Kunne man lave en ny merit evaluering på gymnasiet, (en prøve eller karaktergennemsnit etc.) som ville i kombination med folkeskolens data ville give dig adgang til bestemte A-fag eller linjer.
Det er måske ikke en køn løsning, men jeg føler at hvis vi skal lave fast merit baseret frasortering, kan vi lige så godt gøre det ordentligt i stedet for at bruge et halv-arbitrært tal bare fordi det er nemt.
Det er selvfølgelig også et spørgsmål om man vægter 'generalister' højere end 'specialister' når det kommer til det gymnasielle niveau.
Jeg har altid syntes at det overordnede karaktergennemsnit er et alt for rigidt et adgangskriterie. Det er jo et gennemsnit af gennemsnit der ikke siger meget om ens kompetencer. I stedet for kunne man kun tage udgangspunkt i de afsluttende karakterer som var relavant for den enkelte uddannelse. Ellers ender du med unge der ikke kommer på et teknisk gymnasie på grund af deres tysk og religion karakterer, og unge der ikke kommer ind på en sproglig almen gymnasie linje på grund af deres matematik og fysik og kemi karakterer.
