Anecdote here, this is not evidence-based medicine.
I have found that writing down as much as I remember from my dreams - good and bad - as soon as I wake up from them has drastically improved my dreaming experience. They’ve become more pleasant, the unpleasant parts impact me less, and they’re generally more elaborate in a fun way.
I guess Greg Egan’s short stories somewhat fit some of those bills. Try the “Axiomatic” collection, I remember some mathpunk and particle physics punk. Even some biology punk/art punk intersection.
In other movies that predate Casablanca?

The generalization of the concept of “life” beyond earth-style carbon-based biochemistry is still in active debate. As far as I’m aware, the most consensual definition is the one called “lyfe” (to distinguish from the aforementioned carbon-based chemistry, a concept formulated by Stuart John Bartlett and John L Wong in 2020). It has four characteristics:
Vincent Bolloré from France:
Owner of Groupe Canal+, various French media where he pushes his agenda, Vivendi, Universal Music, Lagardère…
Basically created the worst nazi in the last presidential election from scratch, owner of what is basically French Fox News.
For a ~25yo male in the US I believe the median is 50 more years
Coming from a more science/engineering background than a cs/programming one and having tried both, I wholeheartedly disagree. Or at least it’s a higher floor and lower ceiling situation.
And from an engineering industry standpoint the transition cost (or at least compatibility) from generated C, and the lack of a simulink-like block implementation/visualization and code generation pipeline still make it a hard sell. The block thing isn’t just for comfort in those circles, it’s to do with industry standards for system definitions and representation.
Don’t get me wrong I wish Rust changed that game: I hate MATLAB with a passion; I’m just pessimistic.
I believe the only reasons MATLAB persists are Simulink and a C code generation engine that outputs embeddable code that conforms to some regulation or other in the engineering world. Does gnu octave have similar features? I’ve spent a while looking fruitlessly for python-based alternatives…
When you mix paint, you mix pigments that each absorb certain colors, so they won’t reflect it. You’re subtracting colors to the ambient white light that reflects a smaller and smaller portion of the spectrum on the painted surface, and if you mix enough colors you substract most of it and get a dark brown or even black. When you encode rgb values for a screen, you tell pixels to add colors to the light your screen is generating, and if you add enough you get a white light.
Unrelated: you think there are crowdfunding services for assassinations on the dark web?
I’ve been in similar situations in large or semi-large chat channels when you want to adhere to something and give the possibility to others to adhere similarly without flooding the channel with messages simply saying “me too”. So attaching an emoji reaction feels more adequate, that way anyone can just append their own and you can see groupal adhesion directly. Sometimes 💯 works, but it sometimes doesn’t.
EDIT: the more I think on it, the more an emoji saying “+1” feels like it should fill that need when 💯 doesn’t. Maybe someone should propose this to the Unicode consortium
Ah so I think I sort of conflated RQM and MWI because I thought it was all about Everett’s other paper “relative state formulation of qm”.
I thought on top of an ad hoc rehabilitation of physical realism, the universal state also did something for the consistency. Something like all the density operators may be expressed as partial traces of the operator describing the their systems’ union, in order for everything to be consistent, and the ‘largest’ operator describes the state of the universe or something.
I’ll check out your sources next insomnia, thanks
My understanding might be a bit superficial, but I thought the whole point of the MWI was to make explicit the fact that states are relative? To me the rationale was that states are relative and if we simultaneously describe relative states and their observers we can translate the shrödinger+born-rule in a density-operator+partial-trace-rule and make the wave function collapse physical (aka unitary) through branching and decoherence, even though that’s mathematically tedious and in practice people will keep using projectors (1). States being relative means their physical reality is somewhat broken but locality is mostly saved (2), so then we postulate that they derive from a universal wave function to rehabilitate some form of physical realism (3). As to (4), isn’t it solved if you assume that Schrödinger’s equation is actually the less fundamental formalism since it’s only valid for systems that are unrealistically isolated?
Nominative determinism is strong in this one
Nope, that’s the red strip on the left.
Reverse image search gave this pop-sci article from 2009:

Slightly different though. No grey part, though the legend argues that deutérium is unstable below the horizontal line, and “We are here” in smaller font
“Lapel” was an interesting find. That and “development” really hammered in the importance of accentuation. I’m still unsure of what I want to do with “schedule”. “Burger” sometimes sounds off when I say it.
Maybe self-host a model?
