  • If someone said “humans suck, but nature is a perfectly beautiful creation 😍” what examples would you think of that show nature being (1) independent of humans and (2) brutal and grotesque?

  • I have to ask what you mean by fight against entropy? Are you referring to the apparent paradox that complex life goes against the idea of entropy tending to increase?It is, however, only apparent. Assembleages, as you call them, are just possible expressions of energy in the system. Like if you put energy into a double pendulum in can swing in complex patterns. When you make any local reduction to entropy, by assembling order, it necessarily comes at the cost of increased 'global' entropy. That's the meaning of the second law. Nobody can fight against it, without reversing the direction of time.

  • How do you gently tell someone you only want to keep seeing them if it's on a dating level?

    Jump

  • You're taking the wrong path, I see some things that you may not be considering.

    Friendships don't need to be defined by beginnings and ends. The gentlest way to cool a friendship is to spend less time with them.

    Spending time within someone you find attractive doesn't screw with your psyche. An internal cycle of hope and rejection does.

    She already rejected you, you said it in the post. 'Its not the right time' is not an invitation to wait, it's a gentle no (and it's much worse approach than just saying no). Accept it and move on. If your thoughts wander to oh but maybe we could be together if I do something - remind yourself she said no. If you need further clarification ask again.

    Threatening to end the friendship for a romantic relationship has zero good outcomes. If you can't handle the rejection or don't want to be her friend, then stop making time to see her. The only reason to explain that it is 'because you want more', is the thought that it will change her mind - remember emotional manipulation is gross and rapey but don't worry you haven't done it yet. Thinking about things isn't doing them.

    Also, you sound like a young man, so I just want to affirm that the drive to have sex can be wild strong, and make clear thinking hard. It's okay, just remember you don't want be with someone who you can get to agree to a relationship with you, you want to be with someone who wants to be in a relationship with you. Everyone is worth that much.

  • Yeh I don't think Nobara is beginner friendly. I'd say my experience was the same as yours. Difficulties with lots of things, but could find solutions. Given it wasn't my primary PC, and I don't have time for that - gone for mint (needed some stale stale kernl)

  • Sounds more like a hardware issue. Screen black, like it goes off no output? Any visual glitching first? Desktop doesn't respond? How do you know, is it sounds stop or make funny noise?

    Search inside the system? Open taps? Not sure what this means

    Can you restart the computer? Or will the distro not boot after this?

    And this doesn't happen in Windows?

  • AMD's new Ryzen 7 9800X3D gaming CPU sold out almost instantly and scalpers are already selling the chips for up to $999

  • If people could delay their gratification, and just not buy form scalpers then more chips will become available, and will get greater profits and the scalpers will be left holding the bag.

    Win win win.

  • How do I quit smoking?

    Jump

  • Cold turkey worked for me. Took me 4 attempts. I wasn't hard on myself for failure, I noted what happened (emotional trauma, stress, alcohol) and prepared myself for the next attempt.

    I wanted to quit, so when I relapsed it's not because I wanted to smoke but because those little cancer stick bastards were trying hardest to kill me. But if they were going to be tough, I could be tougher. I found it easier when I could see the cigs as my enemy.

  • What word or term annonys you?

    Jump

  • 10 years ago I learnt that southern New Zealand slang uses bespoke or custom as an indicator of poor quality. Someone shittly welded a tow ball onto their car, that's a 'custom job'.

    Your poorly assembled second hand IKEA bookshelf that's falling apart and well fucked? A bespoke piece of furniture.

    Those words have never bothered me since. Thanks kiwis.

  • The correct response to this is to ask them to move their bag and sit next to them, whilst there are other empty seats next to other people nearby.

    Punish their greed.

  • How to get rid of the Indian curse?

    Jump

  • I can't say I know what I'd do if I were in your situation. But many people throughout history have chosen to write those books, and they have suffered for that choice, but they have also driven change.

  • Things change slowly then all at once.

    Which is to say, the older generations are very set in their ways, but the new generations can be completely different.

    You say you can write a book, maybe you should. Detail all the things you see and don't like. Give me a voice to the people who think like you.

  • No, I am not sure that I am.

    Photonic processing, whilst very cool and super exciting, is not a quantum thing... Maxwells equations are exceedingly classical.

    As for the rest it's transistor design optimisation, enabled predominantly by materials science and ASMLs EUV tech I guess:), but still exploits the same underlying 'quantum 1.0' physics.

    Spintronics (which could be what you mean by 2D) is for sure in-between (1.5?), leveraging spin for low energy compute.

    Quantum 2.0 is systems exploiting entanglement and superposition - i.e. qubits in a QPU (and a few quantum sensing applications).

  • Good question. It would be application specific. I think evanescencnt wave coupling in EM radiation is considered " very classical" (whatever that actually means). But utilizing wave particle duality for tunneling devices is past quantum 1.0 (1.5 maybe?). However, superconductivity tunneling in Josephson junctions in a SQUID is closer to quantum 1.0, but 2.0 if used to generate entangled states for superconducting qbits for quantum computing.

    Clear as mud right?

  • Can we trade?

    Oh my sweet summer child, a 100x yes, if only it were possible.

    But more seriously, if you're doing EE, the world of quantum is your oyster. Specialize in RF/MW design and implementation, we use it for qubit control, and you'll be highly valuable.

  • Quantum Physics Postdoc here. Although technically correct this is also somewhat misleading. You need the band structure of solids, which is due to quantization and Pauli exclusion principle. The same quantum mechanics that explains why we did those strange electron energy levels for atoms in highschool. The majority of quantum mechanics, however, is not required: coherence, spin, entanglement, superposition. In the field we describe semiconductors as quantum 1.0, and devices that use entanglement and superposition (i.e. a quantum computer) as quantum 2.0, and smear everything else in-between. This
