Quantum Physics Postdoc here. Although technically correct this is also somewhat misleading. You need the band structure of solids, which is due to quantization and Pauli exclusion principle. The same quantum mechanics that explains why we did those strange electron energy levels for atoms in highschool. The majority of quantum mechanics, however, is not required: coherence, spin, entanglement, superposition. In the field we describe semiconductors as quantum 1.0, and devices that use entanglement and superposition (i.e. a quantum computer) as quantum 2.0, and smear everything else in-between. This

I mean you last line sums it up, If on your balance you can weight the sum total of human systematic logical effort against your anecdotal experience then what is the point of discussion at all?

And you want to know when that looks really ugly? When the faithful see things like "the light and hope brought by faith" and are blind to rivers of blood and human suffering that have not ceased to this day enabled and perpetuated by faith.

It doesn't matter if there is a god, by the things done in God's name the concept of faith must be reject for humanities sake.

Also a physicist, and I can confirm that we are all as dumb as rocks.

You're right, it doesn't at all capture how disturbing the reality is.

Ignored privacy settings; unknown third parties can train AI models on data scrapped from private images and video host on common social media platforms.

I might be reading to much in to the previous commenters use of the word had. But you're at arguments make a lot more sense today than 30 years ago.

It certainly was fear that stopped Australia from building a nuclear industry in the 90s. It made a lot of sense then. Today, it's hard to see it anything more as a diversionary tactic.

I've not heard of naplan described as child abuse, but my uneducated position is inclined to agree. Standardized testing, comparative ranking, ECT to me feel like necessary evils that should only be used when required, not applied board strokes.

In am interested to read more about the impacts of standardized testing if anyone is knowledgeable.

I work in a large university with a policy of lumping as many administrative duties on the academics as possible.

Why do we want professors coding credit cards to university accounts, managing employment contracts and job listing's, offices for staff, travel bookings ect ect? Is this how we want our tax payer grant money spent?

Just latex to svg your math for impress.

For real though, it's such a miss for impress to not have in line math

Not quite correct, if I remember correctly dry soil adsorbs more water and quicker (by default) than waterlogged soil. But when is been dry for a long time a hydrophobic film forms, causing a temporary delay in water adsorption. I think it can impact flash flooding, but it washes off fairly quickly and then adsorption returns to expected.

I prefer mafs

I'm not going back arch/bazzite to try this. For two reasons, 1. I can't enable those things, my hardware doesn't support reBAR. And 2. My issue sounds potentially different. I could load and run the game, but it would crash regularly. Realistically, if this is the issue my only solution is to roll back to an old kernel (not supported in arch), and I'm not sure if that fly's in bazzite either. Distro hoping to Mint is then a great solution, even if I didn't take a rational path there.

I run fedora 40 on my work laptop, and I am blow away at how capable Wayland+gnome is for plug and go multiple monitor support. You could never have done it with X, every meeting you'd want 15min to make sure you can share your screen.
