𧸠Kernel Panic
Sorry. Last weekend I went to the coast with some friends, so I haven't started to dive into this book. I also knew this book by reading his blog. Since I'm also not an expert on physical, probably I couldn't give you any further advice about this book. But I'll let you know if I find any useful resources to help me understand this book.

I read the intro at: wolframphysics.org.... It's fascinating.

Finished all work on time. I'll spend my weekend to read Stephen Wolfram's new book and prepare some course material to teach a young girl how to start programming.

A well deserved family time ahead, then! Enjoy it fully. Those are the moments truly worthy of being lived.

This is something that came up today while talking about Yin and Yang and alternate realities. Decision-making is usually binary (yes, I will; no, I will not), but what about picking things? My quantum physics is rusty, what does many options imply? Electron clouds come to mind. As entropy increases, does it distribute evenly? Which system? What the hell is a string?
â David Antoine
My QM knowledge is much too basic, so here is a good 4 min video which is a good starting point regarding the multi/many worlds theories. The Strings theory is the most studied and receives the most funding but doesn't seem to work and takes away talents from other avenue of research. Garrett Lisi, Eric Weinstein and Steven Wolfram or even Lee Smolin are examples of scientists going out of mainstream physics to try develop different theories. bit.ly/2ONWoB7

Yeah, right? Are those games still around?

I'm still using a 2012 MacBook Pro. Probably about time I replaced it though...

No throwing of logic and common sense, I hope. One thing is for sure, physics is the part of STEM that's not going to become less formalized anytime soon. I watched some of the newly created Wolfram Physics Project live work sessions. Those guys are bonkers. Even causality is an emerging property in their framework. Way over my pay grade. But it is less about finding short term practical solutions than long term potential paradigm shift. They still are doing art in a sense...

I also hate modern pseudo intellectual relativism, devoted of any logical rigor. What I had in mind is limiting abstractions in favor of studying complex systems 'as they are', exercising judgment based on experience (Wolfram loves simulations as i remember), form of art. After art is established, there evolves a need for formalization of gained knowledge. Not the other way around. I'll check them out, treating causality as emergent is interesting as hell. Great discussion!

Wow. I didn't go that deep, mostly not to get discussion into the puddle of unverifiable claims and my lack of knowledge in physics. But, yes. I do think that STEM is on a road to become less formalized and deal more with problems by deploying tools more similar to an art than, well, formalized logic. This doesn't mean some New Age crap and throwing away logic in full. It's more about human indisposition to perfectly understand causality in terms of strict logical rigor.

Well, I thought more in terms of emergence of innovative technology. Ie. Medicine began as purely empirical art, the need to organize knowledge was secondary to exercising judgment based on experience.
â David Antoine
Your empirical art and exercising judgment based on experience makes me weirdly think about the work of some theoretical physicists. Especially those studying Dr. Wolfram Cellular Automata Theory of unification. They basically are at the same stage of discovering the raw art, the emergence properties and potential descriptive power of the theory as well as organizing their knowledge around it...

Does anyone know if it's possible to buy official Let's Encrypt merchandise? Like a shirt or hoodie? I'd love to get one if it'll mean I'm supporting Let's Encrypt financially. All I could find online was redbubble.com/peop... but I don't know if this actually means money goes back to ISRG. Perhaps I could donate by how much the shirt costed?

To be fair, I think most people in real life could be taken down by a wolf in two bites. Games where you can get shot 10 times and still run aren't as realiatic, but they are more fun.

So I decided to replay Skyrim the other day as I haven't played it in ages and at some point they released a special edition with better graphics. Just for "fun", I decided why not play it on legendary difficulty (highest). Do you want a single wolf to take you down with 2 bites? Because that's how you do it. Legendary difficulty is unreasonably hard.

New Moon has the same problem as the first movie; the story/world isn't that bad, and I find myself liking parts of it, but overall I find it hard to connect with the characters as everyone seems to be on permanent dysfunctional mood swings. The introduction of werewolves was very well done, but the romance and the "Bella wants to be a vampire" mini story feels so rushed. One minute they're in love, then he's just "bye" and when she finds him, he's all "marry me". No wonder schoolgirls love this. #MarkWatchesTwilight

@sublevel, under /liked/ and /likes/, if something is liked by two people, the "liked" post is displayed twice for each person who liked it. It's not a big issue (but it might be when Sublevel grows to be something huge), but I think it would look nicer if the "liked" post was only displayed once with each person who liked it underneath only one post Example: i.imgur.com/NWoLRi...

That can be done, but the page will look like it contains 14 or less items. Or /liked/ and /likes/ should display only distinct entries sorted by the most recent like.

Wolfsburg will finish second while chasing the Europa League. Sevilla (probably) won't make it to the top 4 in Spain, but will still probably go to the Champions League through the Europa League. Why do English clubs that are 5th complain that the Europa League pushes them back to 5th? Okay, just play kids in EL and see if your first squad makes it to fourth.
