Apple Support informed me that backing up my iPhone to my computer will not include all my data. It's not really a backup. Apps data will not backup. Even books I downloaded into Apple's own Books app will not be backed up. Crazy!
I see sock puppets everywhere. Some obviously state actors. This is how soft power is exercised in the 21st century to shape narrative. Your tax dollars being spent (assuming you live in a country that practices propaganda against it's own citizens like the USA. see Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012/2013)
"On Earth, phosphine is only present due to life, and so phosphine has been explored extensively as a potential sign of life. So the potential detection on Venus was exciting stuff. ... Phosphine is found in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn, and no one is proposing life exists in the clouds of these planets."
I love the information density of this article. Compelling case for investing in hdd manufacturing sector as well as a great explanation of why tape storage is still a growing market (Subpoenas and cold data storage cost in case you were wondering).
Sounds like a bit of an opsec failure. I get it. As a faceless worker for a nation perceived as evil by most of the other nation’s citizens. Knowing your job is to steal, impersonate and lie, it would feel like the minions were all about your life.
How about a scan of git for related occurrences of Kevin, gru and minion images?
All snark aside, ways to learn (already listed) include teachers, books, videos and the most difficult of all your ear. If music theory isn’t your bag, pick a song and learn to play the first phrase. Then the next phrase, then the next. That’s how they did it in the old days. One song at a time. One bit at a time.
If you want shortcuts to playing guitar enough to impress many, you can skip (some) theory and learn a few chord shapes.
To play like the masters will require dedication to craft impossible for most. I applaud your efforts.
The article refers to the remote operator in the basement. This makes the device a Waldo, not a robot. Another reminder that this is Heinlein’s future and we are just living in it.
Can someone please help explain the underlying concepts so a mere mortal can understand them?
"the total information that could be stored in a region of space was proportional to its energy and its size."
or "the sphere that can enclose it."
This sounds like computational complexity theory had a baby with quantum physics, but makes some intuitive sense. After all, both the information and entropy contents of a given volume of spacetime must be less than infinite, and related to the inhabiting mass/energy both of which have singularity limits.
These guys are saying the total info of a given volume of spacetime is not a sphere, its the sphere minus another sphere (the mass's Schwarzschild radius (gravity?)), which leaves a toroid in which the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is implied to be spiral motion around said donut?
"But when entropy is properly understood through the toroidal structure, the inequality dissolves into an exact relation:
Δx Δp = (Atorus) / (4π ℓpl2) ħ.
This equation, simple yet profound, tells us that what we have long regarded as uncertainty is, in fact, structure."
The math is beyond me.
Does this really resolve the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in practice?
