I understand why there was such a focus on heretics and their teachings in the early church. Once absolutes were relaxed along with their enforcement it was inevitable. It always was. Pretty good run in its time, though.

It's happening in Canadian universities, too. University of Toronto and University of Victoria (large British Columbia one). Plus some college and public school teachers.
Which is quite surprising given how absolutely leftist all of these places are.

We have a family friend, a woman into her 30's now. Fairly bright. Did an actual STEM degree years ago. Fun to have around at gatherings.
But that's it. Best way to describe it is she has a smart mouth. And always wanting to one-up on the come backs.
That can be entertaining in small doses but it would become incredibly wearing around that all the time. And it's all the time with her and just becomes unpleasant.
She can not understand why a man would not want to have that in their life every day. It must be all the men she meets. All the men.
Lady. Try being pleasant. It's not really that hard.

It's organized propaganda that was used to weaponize our inherent ideas of fairness and goodwill against us. All of it.
Some time in the future they will still be read and studied, but not for their stories. For their outstanding use as propaganda. This will include all the holocaust books and movies that have come out in the last two decades.
You honestly have to admire them on the level of how could they were at cowing us. We need to study the same techniques but for OUR use.

**I’m told that our “engineering-focused” culture is offputting to women**
*"... the overwhelming reason women are dissatisfied is our focus on “engineering minutiae” (her exact words). She gave an example of an interaction I had with “Susan” on our team."*
Then describes Susan's O(n^2) implementation and her deciding the production fix was to, "just provision a VM with a ludicrous amount of RAM (>1 TB)."
Dude then describes explaining to old Sue an O(n) approach. Then the fun starts ...
*Susan was actually very upset that I asked her to implement the O(n) fix, feeling that I was “trying to run circles around her by **showing off my knowledge of obscure CS trivia.”** *
In other words, asking that she just be competent in her job.
The whole read and the retarded comments are eye opening and what you'd expect from redditors.

So cute and funny. They take up hardly any room at all. You can collect the goat milk and make homemade goat cheese to use, trade and sell.
----------------------------------------
Making goat cheese (also known as chèvre) at home is relatively easy, involving simple steps like heating milk, adding cultures and rennet, draining the curds, and flavoring with salt.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Ingredients:
You'll need fresh goat milk, a starter culture (often available as a liquid or powder), and rennet (a natural enzyme that coagulates milk).
Process:
Heat the milk: Gently heat the goat milk to a specific temperature (around 85-90°F or 29-32°C).
Add culture and rennet: Once the milk is heated, add the starter culture and rennet, stirring gently.
Let it set: Allow the milk to sit undisturbed for a period (usually 18-24 hours) to allow the curds to form.
Drain the curds: Once the curds are set, drain them in a cheesecloth-lined colander.
Salt and flavor: Add salt to the cheese and optionally flavor with herbs, garlic, or other ingredients.
Yield:
A gallon of milk typically yields about 1 3/4 pounds of goat cheese.
Very cool.

That's what strikes me. It's just the BLM/antifa types getting funded a little somehow still to go out and stir up shit. If the funding was cut this would all go away. There's nothing spontaneous about it at all.
On a side note, looks like my favourite enemy signalling site, boingboing, is feeling the squeeze. They recently stuck their comments section behind a paywall and now are jamming this begging in your face first on most pages. Good to see.

Only real applications I've seen are optimization problems. A practical problem is translated into a quantum system *waves hands*. The superposition allows it to effectively try every possibility at once, exhaustive enumeration effectively, and it settles into a minimum energy/cost state that represents the best final solution.
That's hand wavy because there are details. But it has been used for routing optimization in practice.

You need a solid linear algebra background for this stuff. This textbook does a review but assumes you've already had it covered. There's no getting around it. There's a *lot* of math. And you have to have a physicist's or engineer's ability to connect the math to the physical world it's describing in an intuitive way. And that comes with years of education and work in the field.
Not trying to put you off. But it's a serious investment if you really want to understand the material.

I understand the basics. The thing with this entangled communication is that you still need a classical side channel - radio, laser, carrier pigeon if you like - to carry side information. This limits the speed to still speed of light. No faster than light laws are being broken here. And it's an integral part of the protocol. But you do get unbreakable encryption. And encryption that can be proven if it's tampered with. As I understand this.
This is probably the best text to get started provided you have something of a technical background.

And we don't even understand how the human mind works yet. We have no real understanding of consciousness or sentience.
We just copied an interesting structure that's found in the brain, the way neurons network with each other in the brain, stuck on a simple model of how they might interact and found at first interesting (letter recognition) and more and more surprising and possibly useful results.
But to call it thinking as an AI is a *huge* stretch - that sells!
This structure of networked neurons looks like it can power lower animals and their ability to move in the world, adapt to circumstances, find food, escape predators.
But we're a long way from human cognition as far as I can see.
We don't even know if it's this network structure is what leads to human level cognition. That could be a completely separate process we don't know about that's built *on top* of the existing network and took time to evolve.
Perhaps Pensrose's and others' idea of quantum mechanics being fundamentally involved in consciousness. We are just starting to understand quantum computing so maybe that will be the way forward.
Regardless, it still is an exciting field. Hype aside.

Late 70's in a small town surrounded by farmland and an hour to the nearest city. About a thousand White students and one civilized black. The teachers were smart and if you showed any spark they were happy to work with you. We had a (very) small math club where we taught ourselves more advanced algebra and calculus starting in grade 10. Two teachers supplied textbooks and would assist with questions and problems. One thing that made a difference is how students were streamed into lower, middle and advanced levels of courses starting in grade 10. We went to grade 13 back then.

There's always been a reserve currency in some form. Going back a few thousand years. Before the US it was Britain. Spain, Portugal, Italy, Holland, etc. all had their turn. Rome and other empires had theirs.
There's a convenience in international trade plus the benefits to the issuing country. Mostly. For a time.
Coming up may be a BRICS basket form. May be more stable long term. Or not, depending on who decides to be king of the hill in the next competition of nations.
That's how I understand it. Not much more.
