I am green with envy, that sounds amazing. Do you remember any exhibits from that time that aren't in place today?

I would like to signal boost The Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles. https://www.mjt.org/ I've never been anywhere quite like it. My friend once described it as "an art p…

The linked document is a copy edited version of a 3 part blog post series which you can read here: 1) https://quantumfrontiers.com/2026/01/06/has-quantum-advantag... 2) https://qua…

On the mobile app you can tap the Instagram logo and there's an option to show only posts from your follows. It's not sticky, unfortunately. Also if you're on android I recommend: …

I had a sharp intake of breath after reading this and then clicking through to see the header image of the article.

A.I. = Actually Indians

Is it possible that this is actually just a very common writing pattern used by actual humans and that's the reason AI uses it so much?

To be fair, the ÷ symbol for division must be abolished.

As a brit, yawn.

Swinsian was the only Mac music player I could find that could come close to replicating my old MusicBee setup. The license fee was annoying but I paid it anyway and have no regret…

I haven't had a chance to really dig into your resource yet but I am definitely going to do so. Perhaps I'll wait a few days until the change you mentioned is implemented.

> And to get back to what I assume is your real conundrum (why do we extremize something to begin with), I just don't think there's any true answer as to why nature behaves this wa…

This seems promising, I'll dig into this later.

I believe translation symmetry gives you momentum conservation, energy conservation will probably arise from a symmetry concerning time.

Do you know any references that discuss this in detail? I'm interested in the history of these developments. Who noticed this? Who asked this question?

I had heard about this book and that quote makes me want to read it. Thank you.

I recently got hold of a copy of that. I started Hand & Finch - Analytical Mechanics but their woolly discussion of virtual work and virtual displacement was very frustrating and u…

But simply getting to the Lagrangian picture from the Hamiltonian picture would just leave me wondering why the Hamiltonian picture works! My motivation for getting to the bottom o…

Does anyone know a text which justifies why the Lagrangian approach works? This text and many others I have encountered just start with the Principle of Least Action taken as given…

This is more the case for D-Wave's machines which are specialised for quantum annealing, allowing for greater numbers of qubits. Google and most other major hardware players make c…

I disagree. A keyboard enforces a clarity and precision of information that does not naturally arise from our internal thought processes. I'm sure many people here have thought the…
