Gotta agree with Lena, your art is great.

If the grid expands up, O loses; with the right moves they would tie instead.

If the grid expands down, O and X tie. With the right move O could ensure a win instead.

Either way they're really bad at Tic-Tac-Toe. But at least they were nice enough to not force someone to draw an O on their own leg, drawing an X is easier.

I was expecting a s2, they hanged the loose endings in s1's final episode a bit too obvious:

s1 endRune is missing, but she's alive, everyone is travelling to Silk's kingdom, Rain still holds the artifact borrowed from Mastoma, etc.
I'm probably watching it, but got to admit the first season wasn't exactly memorable.

Yup, it is a refutation. But people seem to be eager to ignore reality, to keep things consistent with the bullshit they believe (in this case, the Copenhagen interpretation):

  • what Schrödinger wanted to show - if the cat can't be dead and alive at the same time, then superimposition is bullshit
  • what people did with the thought experiment - if superimposition is true, the cat is dead and alive at the same time

Ah. I would've never guessed it!

Now I'm really curious on what it is.

Numbers.

  1. Ichinose Sayuri
  2. Nikaidou Nanase
  3. Mitaka Nozomi
  4. Otonashi Mai
  5. Godai Rina

It's refreshing for me, to see someone respected within the academic community, calling superimposition bullshit.

I always saw the idea that particles were in multiple places at the same time with suspicion; for me it was always more like "you don't know where the particle is, if you try to measure it you'll fuck its location up, so you pretend it's in multiple locations". It's useful because, statistically speaking, you won't notice the difference.

Applying this to Erwin's kitty: it's like you have a bunch of cats. Each is trapped in a separated device, that releases poison depending on the decay of some radioactive atom. You have no clue if any individual cat is alive or dead, but when dealing with all of them, you can say "x% are alive, (100-x)% are dead". And you apply those proportions to an individual cat, just to make your maths easier: "this cat is x% alive, (100-x)% dead".

So it's an abstraction; and sure, we need abstractions, but we should not confuse them with what is being abstracted.

I'll go further. I feel like someone will eventually find a theory that describes accurately small and big, massive and light, fast and slow objects. The so-called theory of unification. Perhaps it might resemble the theory of general relativity from a distance, but it'll look nothing like QM.

We have to try to phrase things more precisely to keep public misunderstandings from wreaking havoc on science.

That's a losing battle. Assumers gonna assume.

I think it depends a lot.

If Frieren is transported into the KnY world and fights a bunch of local demons, then she'd likely conclude they're the same shit as in her own world. Then I bet she'd kill Nezuko first and then ask questions.

However, if it's Nezuko and Tanjiro being transported into the SnF world, I think Nezuko might stand a chance. Frieren would likely notice Nezuko isn't the same sort of demon as she typically fights, get a bit more on the defensive side, and in the meantime Tanjiro can intervene and explain stuff.

That's good. The more Microsoft boycotts itself, the more people shift to Linux.

Using AI tools sometimes makes sense, sometimes it doesn't. And by forcing the usage of a tool that won't necessarily help, MS is only adding more meaningless busywork to its own development, like sand in an engine.

I hope so, too. Their current situation isn't currently the best (a lot of them went away in the late 10s, simply because people were using them less); I'm kind of hoping to see a revival, but that's at the mercy of the STF, so I can't completely rule out that the situation will evolve exactly like in the UK. It's "let's wait and see", you know?

I'm also wondering the impact of that on chatrooms, that used to be extremely popular here.

Hold my beer! I'm going in!
