I actually try to watch for those at line wraps, but
but this one got me.

I was definitely thinking:

The actual dress was in fact blue and black.

Heihei?

Good to know. I’m still waiting on this coming patch.

Sounds like a good thing that they haven’t yet

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘use it on that basis’. Yes, entanglement has been proven to work, but it can’t be used to communicate FTL.

I read it. Doesn’t mention FTL, because that’s not a possibility for actually transmitting info.

Edit: I think the way these quantum encryption systems work is that basically the photons (and I assume it’s polarization being measured) become the encryption key to a message that is sent conventionally.

Like the sender generates a bunch of entangled photons, sends the paired ones to the recipient, measures their photons and uses the results to encrypt the message, the receiver measures theirs and gets the same results, the sender sends the encrypted message over email or whatever, and the recipient has the same key because of entanglement.
Meanwhile an eavesdropper measuring the photons would mess them up for the recipient so the message wouldn’t decrypt.

If you change one of the particles it just breaks the entanglement. If you measure one, then you instantly know the state the other will have when measured, but the result of your measurement - and therefore the other one also - is random. The only way to correlate the two measurements of the two particles is to send the results (at C or slower) to the same place and compare them. Otherwise each just looks like a random result.

“Buckyballs” and other small magnet fidget toys. (For adults only of course!)

Sounds like Faraday understood the… potential.

I seriously miss having physical mouse buttons that can be felt when they click on a touchpad. I end up using a separate mouse on any laptop that I use regularly.

Yeah. I guess it would have to be a static demo after it’s loaded since user input would go through the CPU

Then it would be even spookier!

This is true. I had to force myself to develop a tolerance to plain water, but of course I’m really glad I did.

I still can’t stand unsweetened flavored water (including tea*), or especially unsweetened and carbonated. Those are all very bitter to me, and therefore undrinkable - particularly given plain water exists.

*But I do like some tea in my sugar.

… Now you have me wondering if it would in fact be possible to run it on a GPU. (As shaders or something I guess)

That does work (actually ‘non emergency city state’). But as another comment mentions, the public knowing it exists is more important than the number itself.

So they are asking a virtual roulette wheel to make the determination if it’s an emergency or not.

I think the non-emergency number should be heavily advertised. I have no idea what the local one for me is (if it even exists)

And an LLM determining that accurately would be a dice roll.
