Check out David Graeber’s book Debt - The First 5000 Years. He argues that waaay before money people lived in complex credit economies, and that money only happened when there was war, so that you could pay soldiers.
Also barter economies only happen when people who have been used to money don’t have access to money anymore. Didn’t happen before money, or at least there’s no evidence of it.
So a supercomputer is a physics experiment? A lithography machine for producing microchips is a physics experiment?
I guess a fair threshold would be “when it can be run and maintained by engineers rather than scientists”. In which case, many quantum computers are indeed physics experiments.
Fair enough - sounds more like a problem with the specific study than with the quantum computer
In a way, regular computers are also physics experiments. As are fridges and cars. When does an experiment graduate to being a technology?
The difference is that 10 years ago you needed billions of stable qubits, now you need 10k stable qubits.
And 10 years ago you had one or two stable qubits in the lab, now you have thousands.
You need 90 seats for a majority, the left wing bloc failed to get that. But they got closer to it than the right wing bloc.
Now the question is who the centrists will deal with, and who will deal with them.
Helt fair, det er også sådan det siges jo. Og jeg tror måske også det efterhånden er blevet sådan man skriver det :)
Det er sjovt, originalt havde “stable” bydeformen “stabl”, som selvfølgelig ser skaber ud. Er det ændret i ordbogen siden?
Denmark is amazing. Especially in spring, when the beech trees sprout leaves in the most delicate green color.
Things just work here, food is good, the music scene is great, government is highly trustworthy, lots of jobs, lots of welfare. Yes, it could be better still, but I don’t know many places where it works nearly as well as here.
The chaos factions are devoted to passion, life, knowledge and pleasure, and the Imperium are devoted to the corpse of a lying megalomaniac telling everyone they are forbidden from having a good time.
Anything else you hear is propaganda.
It’s an open source document preparation system. Essentially a typesetting language that produces good looking pdfs. It’s the de facto standard for e.g. scientific publications.
It’s not as simple as a “what you see is what you get” editor like Word, but a lot more powerful. It can be relatively simple to get started with by messing with a template on Overleaf.com, but it has quite a learning curve if you want to typeset documents from scratch.
If you don’t mind messing with LaTeX, something like ModernCV on overleaf.com looks really nice
Exactly. And saying this meme is counter-propaganda is pointless, since it itself is propaganda.
Absolutely, that’s my point.
Hmm, maybe I misunderstood you.
If all cultural artifacts serve a propaganda purpose, but this post is not propaganda, does that mean that this post is not a cultural artifact?
Absolutely - I did not mean to imply that this is evil propaganda.
Indeed - Riverside’s claim that this is not propaganda is therefore false.
Fair, though I’m not sure it’s as simple as that. I’m no fan of the US, but what do you think is the biggest issue plaguing China right now from a humanist perspective?
The read dead redemption comparison is so interesting. They would appear to be really similar, but AC is so much more fun to me than RDR. Especially RDR 2 is so serious, and I really miss the fun power fantasy of AC in traversal, mission structure, combat and so on.
