That’s wild! I would have liked to join LD again as well, it’s been ages. But life getting in the way.

It’s like you start a game and within a blink of an eye, 5 hours have passed.

Great game

Especially painful on steam deck. If you get it working, it adds a good minute to the launch time

Maybe it’s not automated and whoever is responsible isn’t awake yet.

Your user is still linked to your home instance. If that goes down, you don’t have access to it. You can still browse Lemmy from other servers.

It’s really useful for programming. It’s not always right but it has good approaches and you can ask it to write tedious parts of your code like long switch statements. Most of my programming problems were solved because I just explained the problem like Rubber Duck Debugging.

Just wanted to mention at this point that the quantum computers in this post are the so-called superconducting quantum computers. There are also other architectures like ion and neutral atom quantum computers which are basically steel tubes with viewports that contain a ultra high vacuum. Lasers are used to control the ions or atoms.

There’s also photon quantum computers, but they are even more different and not in a really advanced stage yet.

I wonder if Nvidia / Intel would’ve been forced to help out AMD to get around a monopoly. Wasn’t that a thing with Microsoft and apple in the 90s?

You got it pretty much on point. Shooting a laser at atoms is like shooting a machine gun at an indestructible target. If it moves towards you, you can slow it down. But preventing it from accelerating when the target is stationary is where quantum mechanics comes in. That is your explanation: The laser light only acts as a force when the light is resonant with the atom and the Doppler effect means that the resonance condition changes depending on the speed of the atoms.

As a computer science problem it ends at position = window center / 2 - object width / 2

Because everyone can spin up their own irc server. It’s not federated though.

There’s also IRC

In what sense for bad?

Mozilla has been building gecko for decades, why would they cave to a conglomerate and invalidate their principles?
