  • London teen jailed for one year in Dubai after 'holiday romance' with 17-year-old girl

  • All that post and you didn’t include that many US states have “Romeo and Juliet” laws, which the UK does as well, and which Dubai evidently doesn’t.

    The differing laws between countries is the point here.

  • Why do we humans even think we need to solve these extravagantly over-complicated formulas in the first place? Shit, we're in a world today where kids are forgetting how to spell and do basic math on their own, no thanks to modern technology.

    lol.

    All of modern technology boils down to math. Curing diseases, building our buildings, roads, cars, even how we do farming these days is all heavily driven by science and math.

    Sure, some of modern technology has made people lazy or had other negative impacts, but it’s not a serious argument to say continuing math and science research in general is worthless.

    Specifically relating to quantum computing, the first real problems to be solved by quantum computers are likely to be chemistry simulations which can have impact in discovering new medicines or new industrial processes.

  • Well riddle me this, if a computer of any sort has to constantly keep correcting itself, whether in processing or memory, well doesn't that seem unreliable to you?

    Error correction is the study of the mathematical techniques that let you make something reliable out of something unreliable. Much of classical computing heavily relies on error correction. You even pointed out error correction applied in your classical computer.

    That sort of RAM ain't exactly cheap either, but it's way cheaper than a super expensive quantum computer with still unreliable memory.

    The reason so much money is being invested in the development of quantum computers is mathematical work that suggests a sufficiently big enough quantum computer will be able to solve useful problems in an hour that would take the worlds biggest classical computer thousands of years to solve.

  • The output of a quantum computer is read by a classical computer and can then be transferred or stored as long as you liked use traditional means.

    The lifetime of the error corrected qubit mentioned here is a limitation of how complex of a quantum calculation the quantum computer can fix. And an hour is a really, really long time by that standard.

    Breaking RSA or other exciting things still requires a bunch of these error corrected qubits connected together. But this is still a pretty significant step.

  • How many calculations can your computer do in an hour? The answer is a lot.

  • Is it possible to fix one's eyesight? What are working methods? What is to be cautious about?

    Jump

  • I don’t see how lasik could possibly be a cost savings. I’ve gotten fairly nice glasses for $150 without insurance. I’ve gotten glasses for less than that with insurance.

    One pair of glasses can last a long time if you take care of them (and if your eyes don’t get worse).

    LASIK isn’t a permanent solution and eventually you’ll need glasses again.

    Jump

  • It really depends on what’s wrong with your eyes. Glasses or contacts are probably the best method (in terms of safety, reliability, and cost) for the most common problems, but I’m guessing if you are asking this question that either won’t help your case or you aren’t happy with them.

  • The toxins are concentrated around the eyes so if you cut them out thoroughly enough and it’s just barely sprouted it’s probably fine.

    If you don’t cut them out or it’s very thoroughly sprouted you will be more likely to get sick.

    It also depends on how sensitive your stomach is.

  • You can probably get it to work in Wine with some effort, and definitely should be able to get it to work in a virtual machine.

    I’ve gotten some old games working in a Windows XP vm in VirtualBox, using disk images I made from the old disks.

    The GOG release might be easier to get working (GOG themselves are updating it to work on modern OSes, and it’s DRM free so you don’t have to worry about the keys or anything).

  • Using old filaments

    Jump

  • Hmm I don’t see visible dust on it but maybe there’s just very light dust or it blends in with the grey filament I’m using. I’ll give that a try!

    My last print it did eventually finish but I had to pause the print to do a cold pull multiple times.

  • Any advice on how to dry out old filament?

    I’ve got some filament that’s been sitting out for about 2 years and it’s been clogging my hot end. I use my printer relatively infrequently and so I now have a lot of filament that’s potentially ruined.

  • Tux can/should be in there, but make your character cast from a wide variety of public domain sources. Use real historical figures, classic literature, and mythology.

    Some specific ideas:

    • Thor (but not too much like the Marvel interpretation)
    • Poseidon
    • Dracula
    • Sherlock Holmes
    • Captain Blackbeard
    • Steamboat Willie (as of its copyright expiring)
    • T-Rex
    • Cthulu
    • Merlin the wizard
    • fairytale characters

    Also make a solid modding API to let people add their own characters, items, and stages.
