I really like fall of civilizations podcast, there are many hours of well researched and produced history. And also for a smaller creater underthefigtree is very cozy.

I was interested in what it means to be “trump-linked” in this case. So I looked at the danish media and basically: Greenlandish company “White Flame Energy A/S” have official licenses and permissions to look for oil. In 2024, White Flame Energy were bought by british 80 Mile PLC, and thereby is in control of the licenses (although from greenland media sermitsiaq.ag they should have has oil research licenses since 2015). The american company “Greenland Energy Company” has entered partnership with 80 Mile, and they are the investors that will fund the project and run the drilling operations. The trump link seems to be Greenland Energy’s chairperson “Larry Swets”, who appears in Trumps circle (According to The Guardian).

So it seems like a capitalistic invasion; pay the bill and get to run the operations, while the brits do PR control with the locals.

Oh! thanks a lot for pointing out my error. Well then it is only the by far largest party not pushing against chat control. Slightly less disappointing…

I checked the danish votes here and it seems like only social demokratiet (social democrats) voted against this bill. All other stronger left leaning parties voted for it as well as all the centrist and right leaning parties. Truly disappointing.

I imagine oop refers to the water in the pipes getting cold over night in winter, and they’re probably not patient enough for the hot water to start flowing.

Very interesting points, and I see your point between all five, although except maybe praepropere? while in theory i can see this helps syncronizing communities, especially people with different lives (such as families), to sit down for the same dinner ritual. But in practice I have friends and family some of whom 1) have very active lifestyles such as running to/from work, and so requires more snacks to keep stable energy levels and 2) they have different eating habits for other reasons such as avoiding the psychological effects of truly feeling hungry. In either way, we keep having shared dinner rituals, they just eat different amounts.

So i dont really see how the is a bad lifestyle or some ethical shortcoming, but just a rule to adhere to a specific social norm.

Would you happen to have some references reæated the these statements? I would like to read more about recent developments.

Why no love for Fock Space?

Haha those are my cringe tourist hands, with my body cut out for privacy

I actually went to see this went I passed by Suzhou on my China trip a few years back! It is leaning quite a bit, but taking a good picture of it was difficult, as you can only really see it from one angle.

It is actually even worse, if you look at the lighting direction in the original granny picture, the seemingly only light source is the spark of the magic wand. To me this creates a sense of mystery, caution and tension, and it highlights that magic is the only tool to light the darkness.

Then in the sloppified version, they just blast the scene in lighting from the right for no reason. Their ai bot even subdues the light of the wand, making it look like a cheap prop. I also get the feeling that they change her gaze from looking at something to looking directly at the camera. So while the 2x5090 GPU slop might technically highlight more details, the entire artistic feeling just ends up with a grandma looking in a makeup mirror.

Same problem from Denmark

Well you’re not half wrong, at least the LUMI supercomputer, current nr. 9, runs Cray SUSE Linux Enterprise Server with minimal kernel daemons to reduce OS jitter on the compute nodes.

Add this to your list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fock_space

Why not both?

You need to know which basis the sender use to collapse and measure in the same basis. Then you need to sample a statistical distribution and the desired information will be the average of the distribution. This is very well proven in the Bells inequality experiment and can definitely be used to gain information.

It is clearly not very efficient in the sense a lot of transported bits are wasted to convey less information. But the advantages of instantaneous and secure communication will be worth it in some use cases.

That is, of course, if the engineering issues such as quantum repeaters (a sort of range extender) and high fidelity storage are properly solved. It is a few years ago since I did any quantum information in uni, so I don’t know what the current state of things are.

For using the quantum teleportation algorithm you first have two establish entangled qubit pair, with one photon at the sender and one at the destination. This process does take the distance over speed of light amount of time. The trick is that you would pre-process this, and decide later when to and what information to encode into the qubit, allowing for “instant” information transfer. Naturally, this requires that you have a very good memory device that keeps the fidelity of the entangled qubits.

Not a search engine, but last week I learned of the European Open Websearch project, which builds a new free and open search index. It should already be ready to try out. Hopefully we will see some search engines implementing this soon.

There are a few additional points

• Multiple European countries have gotten similar requests, not just Denmark

• American egg policy requires washing the eggs while European policy prohibits this, making it highly inconvenient.

• They would want assurance that America won’t suddenly put tariffs on the eggs.

• If america were to pay upwards of 1€ per egg, maybe they’d have a deal.

Thought I would mention Guix. I don’t know about using it as an OS but just the package manager is so nice to build reproducible software environments (although disclaimer I discovered this myself a few weeks ago). At least as close you can get without including proprietary hardware drivers. Building MPI applications on my laptop and moving them to an HPC cluster with full performance feels like magic.
