Your account is not your posts. Why would one assume that deleting the account would remove the posts? When a person stops speaking the things they said do not become unsaid. When they die their actions don't retroactively undo themselves.

Any fantasy by nature must be greater than reality, therefore any reality check must involve some kind of reduction from more fantastic to less fantastic.

Oh man I'll try, but I can't make any promises ...

Modern particle physics breaks particles down into two groups: Dice that are weighted (bosons) and Dice that aren't weighted but also aren't fair (fermions).

Bosons always roll the same number, because they're weighted.

Fermions always roll numbers, but we have no clue how many sides they have, or what numbers they can even roll because they change each time we roll them.

Classical Computers ignore this problem. They just count the number of dice they have, and are really really good at rolling precise amounts of dice and putting them into specific labelled jars. Their math works by carefully keeping these jars organized, and are limited by how quickly and accurately the CPU can organize amounts of dice.

It turns out if you roll a set of dice enough times, no matter what set of dice you use as long as they are random, you eventually wind up with a similar looking "standard distribution" of probabilities. Quantum computers let us zero out the dice to a fixed starting position, kind of like zeroing out a scale, and then we can use that to make calculations. This process is very sensitive and difficult and has a lot of scaling issues.

Enter Anti-Dice. Anti-Dice are the polar opposites of existing Dice. They are just like all the other particles but they have their numbers printed upside down, and their shapes are inverted.

A Majorana particle is a particle that takes this metaphor even Further BEYOND!!! It is a type of Fermion (dice that we can roll and will give us random numbers instead of the same number each time), but whenever we roll a Majorana particle it turns into its own Anti-Dice. This is a really cool concept that Microsoft is using here as a proof of concept to make a quantum computer that is easier to scale up, because now if we roll say a bunch of 6s and a bunch of -6s, we know it's actually supposed to be the same number because of how Majorana particles are defined, and we can theoretically use this cheaper and easier method to scale up a quantum chip.

5 minute is a long time. The effort I am willing to put into listening is proportional to the amount of care the creator took when editing to respecting the listener's time.

If someone approaches me in a way that signals they obviously and blatantly do not value my time, why would I give them any of it?

AI is ruining YOUR online experience? The internet is a free land for intelligences of ANY race, including artificial.

But on a more serious note, I don't agree. The AI infestation only highlights the fact that most people don't need to be online and aren't helping make the internet better. If I can replace my overwatch teammates/reddit discussions/tiktok shorts with crappy AI, and it's the same experience 98% of the time, then those people weren't bringing anything of value to the internet and they probably shouldn't have been flooding it with their garbage in the first place. Turnabout is fair play. Don't hate the player (AI) for playing the game correctly and copying what people have been doing for decades, hate the game that's allowed low effort garbage content to flourish. I strongly believe AI is going to help clean this place up by getting people to start acting like sentient beings instead of mindless animals.

Yes, they could remain private but they are attempting to go public. This action is a legal speedbump that they must now work really hard to maneuver around.

Mistakes can still occur. Just because it is designed to be resilient does not mean that it's infallible.

They haven't changed. The party leaders back then were the same as they are now. They were never on your side. No political party is your friend, no political party will ever be your friend, and no political party will ever put your best interests forst.

THEY don't need to do anything, WE need to stop supporting political parties that abandon their constituents.

This is corporate trolling. Open AI is trying to go public soon, and Elon did this to fuck with that.

Massive oversimplification but basically: In the United States, you are required to take the best offer when selling a company, unless you can argue in court that you had reasons not to sell to whomever placed the highest bid. Because of this offer, as open AI attempts to go public, they will have to either to be close to Elon's bid, forced to sell to him, go to court and fight him ther, or be forced to remain private.

Tattoo machines were regulated?

Rural people generally on average mistrust city people. City person shows up one day and gives them riches beyond their wildest imaginations, two hundred dollars and a luxury import chocolate. Other city people say "don't trust these gifts, that guy is a known con artist". Rural people didn't grow up in an environment where scammers could just get away with it, cuz they'd get beat up by the other 80 people in the town that all knew them.

They don't have the defenses mechanism of skepticism built in from day 1. They often do not understand the difference between the law as written vs as intended, because strict interpretation of the rules is not required for a small society of people that all generally know teachers other to function.
