Are you from the king’s land where you need separate taps for hot and cold water or the one where you stand on the pissing grates at the urinal?

Those large vats are just margarine, so much cheaper than butter.

X Videos, right?

Way way more people use the Shaka to mean Shaka as opposed to call me. If you use that symbol to mean call me, I can’t really help you, but I’ve never actually seen that in real life after like 1995.

Unicode naming can be wrong (and it is here) and that’s ok.

This is how hackaday posts have been… for like a decade. I guess it’s somewhere between articles and link aggregator.

Don’t look into the politics of the person who probably made those stickers!

I just don’t really give a shit. I like the car and it works well for me and provides a lot of comfort. I’m sure the ceos of all the other car companies are equally as shitty as Elon but quiet so does it really even matter? Don’t kid yourself that you’re saving the world for buying a Volvo or Toyota instead of a Tesla.

No, the analogy is more that the oscillations are themselves the particles.

The addition of energy into a system would be this hand push. The fact that the particles themselves exist means that they are oscillations in this mesh (with some energy/frequency). Interactions with other particles can add or remove energy.

Definitely these canvas metaphor are just conveniences. Also, I got it from Zee’s “Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell” which is a standard graduate or advanced undergrad level book on QFT.

Special relativity definitely overlaps with quantum mechanics and that overlap forms the basis of the math used at collider experiments like those at the LHC. Special relativity is simple with 2 rules that let you derive all the equations: 1) no universal reference frames 2) speed of light is constant.

You’re probably thinking about general relativity which defines gravity through the curvature of space time.

If you think about quantum mechanics existing on some “canvas”, that might look like an interlocking mesh of springs (like something under a bed or cot). You could take your hand and bounces it up and down on this mesh, adding oscillations and creating standing waves in the grid. These oscillations would be different particles (electrons, protons) each with their own characteristic frequency of oscillations. If you add energy to the bed of springs, you can “pop” particles into existence. All these particles actually are are just excitations of the mesh/canvas. As of yet, there’s been no way to define or find the gravity particle on this canvas, so right now the canvas of space time and the canvas of quantum mechanics are two distinct “things”.

There’s a remarkable difference in the quality of apps delivered from major tech companies using US developers and apps from contracted employees in places like Eastern Europe. You get what you pay for.

Having said that, I’m sure that there are good developers everywhere in the world. I’m not sure that excellence in the field is as widely rewarded as it is in the US, so why should the quality be high?

For software, if you’re used to big tech wages, you’re not taking less than $180k base. RSUs are probably somewhere like $400k initial grant, anywhere from 25k-100k yearly refresher. US engineers (good ones) are the furthest from cheap.

I swear people here are either too young or didn’t use the internet 8 years ago. All of this stuff was super common to search and get the first result back as the right answer.

It’s literally the tech bro news site, though, by design. This criticism is ridiculous. YCombinator is the organization that funds so many Silicon Valley tech dreams.
