That’s fascinating!

A footlong sub can be a meal, if you put enough stuff on it. And the veggies don’t make it cost more. Just load it up with everything and get your money’s worth.

Poo-casso

This got me.

Traditional bits only have to be 0 or 1. Not a coherent superposition.

Managing to maintain a stable qubit for a meaningful amount of time is an important step. The final output from quantum computation is likely going to end up being traditional bits, stored traditionally, but superpositions allow qubits to be much more powerful during computation.

Being able to maintain a cached superposition seems like it would be an important step.

(Note: I am not even a quantum computer novice.)

Thus far a rather uninspiring thing.

the thing is, most people don’t. Movie buffs are a minority, the casual viewers flock to what they know, which is exactly why there are only sequels and reboots. It wouldn’t be like that if it wasn’t making them tons of money.

False. Star Wars viewing drove off a cliff when their sequels sucked.

There is a 1-2 sequel movies buffer until the drop off starts when the quality is consistently bad.

That doesn’t make anything they said false. What you said just means that quality still matters, eventually.

So perhaps “A cup of Jim” for tea?

Jamme, jamme, 'ncoppa, jamme jà
Jamme, jamme, 'ncoppa, jamme jà
Funiculì, funiculà, funiculì, funiculà
'Ncoppa jamme jà, funiculì, funiculà!

Me every time I get on an elevator from now on.

Hey man, maybe it was on purpose to get the toys on the news!

David Hahn? What are you doing on Lemmy? I thought you died!

Much better than those people that send 10 messages one after the other as they think of each thought, and your smartwatch is left vibrating for the next minute 😅

Hey, don’t talk about me like that!

What do you think ‘Stalinism’ is, besides “Marxism but bad” as framed by people who are already staunchly anti-marxist?

I’ve been told by people who hold communist ideals that there’s a difference between Marxism and the brutal totalitarian implementation that was Stalinism in practice. People far more knowledgeable than I am have made this distinction better than I can articulate.

Would you argue there isn’t a distinction?

Microsoft Cinemania had a clip from The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert where they sing that song. A shortened version of this clip (because space was a premium on that CD-ROM).

I used to watch all the clips on that software, and that was my introduction to the song. Didn’t know anything about the movie, just that scene. But I loved the song.

I didn’t realize until literally today, trying to find that clip, that the movie is about drag queens. 🤣

Sure, in that a 5 on the stool chart is an improvement over diarrhea. Still isn’t ideal.

Dave Barry? But he’s hilarious!

Lemmy.world, an anti-Marxist instance

I wouldn’t call Lemmy.world anti-Marxist. I would say there has definitely been some knee-jerk to the heavy-handed moderation of Lemmy.ml, but being opposed to the more extreme methods of Lemmy.ml doesn’t mean opposition to Marxism in concept. It means you’ll get a broader set of responses since criticism won’t get deleted by the mods/admins, but there are still plenty of leftists on Lemmy.world.

Similar to how opposing Stalinism doesn’t mean one opposes Marxism, you know?

This whole thread has been wonderful. Thank you for your service. 🫡

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose the path that’s clear; I will choose Freewill!

Wot wot!

It makes me happy. I was kind of worried about him after his Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee episode. Something seemed off.
