Also, some Architectures have specific machine instructions that Compilers just don’t take advantage of, no matter what flags you enable.

Interesting. Do you have some examples?

Writing those frequently-called leaf functions in assembly has certainly far outlived it’s use in other places. But, the word on the street, or I guess the conventional wisdom, is that compilers have gradually caught up even there.

Is it not? What would you call it? It doesn’t even end at the Canadian border, really, although we start calling it “prairies” to be distinct.

Source: Live here, have seen that border.

Finland is also facing an adversary that’s been a bit more strategic, and took some very hard political concessions during the Cold War in order to remain a separate country. And now they’ve joined NATO anyway.

I mean, sure, Finland-style mass mobilisation and fortress mentality is a great place to start. But, I don’t see it replacing a nuclear umbrella, either our own or from someone who already has one.

To repeat from the deleted thread: on CUSMA goods, because the US quietly dropped the same on their end a week ago.

I’ll let people decide for themselves if that’s pitchfork-worthy.

What about the Twin Cities? They’re also a major center, and in a “more” midwestern area in some sense, although Chicago is probably bigger.

To give them some credit, Americans know basic facts about their own geography, at least. Washington ends up with roughly the same favourability as Oregon here, and the two states do seem awfully similar.

Now, knowing that DC is actually full of ordinary, mostly black people, or that Montana isn’t very different from North Dakota? Maybe not. That’s beyond just map facts.

Generators, batteries, just a better grid. If it happened tomorrow it would be scary, but it will be gradual. Really poor people in vulnerable areas might not have the option to adapt, which I mentioned, but the average Lemming does.

Is dying your retirement plan or something? I’m not the one contradicting the experts here.

In classical statistical theory, manipulating a probabilistic state is equivalent to picking a single initial state with whatever probability, and then manipulating it. In quantum statistics it’s provably not (at least if we’re measuring particles with as much free will as we think); you need the whole thing for it to make sense. Two likely trajectories can interfere and cancel out, for example.

So, sure, a position is a vector. But we can only meaningfully talk about functions from a (measurable) set of vectors to their probability amplitude (which is like a probability, but complex). Or, in practice, the infinitesimal density of probability amplitude at that given point

The uncertainty principal is just one manifestation of that. And, like in the uncertainty principal, entanglement might not stay confined to just position if there’s other parameters, so you really have to talk about functions on the whole state vector. I can’t speak too much to quantum field theory, but the actual dynamics of basic quantum physics is about (very “basic”) functions on those functions.

Is this calculated by assuming the wavefunction is static? Like, maybe a steady-state eigenfunction of the system’s evolution with an eigenvalue that’s 1, or another root of unity.

Yeah, in practice this is interpreted as as everyone must join to retaliate, except maybe in niche cases like the aggressor also being in NATO.

What is the user count vs reddit?

I’m not sure instances actually publish their user counts. You can measure by activity, which adds up to maybe 10 events a second. If you could figure out the average rate per user you could get an estimate from that.

Specifically, having listened to the conference, on CUSMA goods, because the US quietly dropped the same on their end a week ago.

It’s not elbows up exactly, but it’s not as crazy as it sounds at first.

I guarantee a prolonged strike would have as well, and would have reached ordinary voters who don’t care about abstract labour rights so much, which is why the back-to-work legislation has always been so tempting. And then there’s the whole looming economic and sovereignty crisis on top of it.

Honestly it was a bad power to give themselves in the first place.

Any time you’re in big picture job, you can never make everyone happy. Politicians have to sing and dance for the cameras and voters who almost-proudly know nothing on top of it all. It seems like pretty shit work, really, but people love power and prestige.

Really? It’s not a thing in Canada either, or at least my region of it. We have “social studies” which combines history and present social concerns.

Friendly. Humans are a social species, that’s the way it works; the battle royale thing is mostly good for television. Even the fucked up shit we do is done socially.

What do you mean about the halo effect? I thought that was about physical attractiveness.

Factually not true. You’ll notice that even in Gaza, people shove each other to get at the scraps, but that’s it for open inter-civilian violence, and extended families are still looking out for each other.

So there just won’t be a deal, then. Paradox is a funny way to put it.

What are they teaching is public schools, at that rate? It sounds like it’s always been kind of weird and propagandistic overall, but the republic breaking apart at the seams has to make things even more complicated. Do civics classes just cut off at 2000 or something?

The science says we might see 4 degrees ultimately. That amounts to more severe weather of all kinds, and means a higher increase in places which will lose snow cover, but it’s nothing an AC unit and careful emergency planning can’t handle, and it won’t necessarily harm agriculture more than it helps it.
