What big gap are you referring to that you believe exists between the theory of any quantum computing platform (which is device physics) and the experiment? You seem to be conflating the theory with pitches to investors? The number of qubit

If what determines the value of a language libraries (which makes no sense to me at all, but let's play your game), then it is one more argument against Python. You don't need FFI to use a Fortran library from Fortran, and I (an

Since you have a rosy picture of Python, I assume you're young. Python has been mostly a fringe/toy language for 2 decades, until around ~2010, when a Python fad started not too different from the Rust fad of today, and at some po

That statement is also incorrect. 1. "any representation of 3D rotations using only three values" That is not representation, that is parametrization. Euler-angle parametrization sometimes fails because it is not a correct paramet

Also physicist here. I've worked on conventional superconductors, but never on unconventional ones. Last I heard, it was believed to be mediated by magnons (rather than phonons). Who claims it is due to Coulomb interaction?

You offer condolences, and you say you understand. Thank you, but what do you think you understand? Your analogy that somehow equates car accidents to nuclear disasters is not even wrong, and the fact that in your mind these can somehow be

I'm a physicist. What education are you referring to? Downplaying the risks of nuclear power plants, which are real, is easy to do, as long as it is far from your home. Most people can't grasp the reality of a nuclear disaster or

To the parent and its sibling comments: There is no atomic or subatomic current that can explain ferromagnetism in any approximation. You read some Wikipedia pages and Feynman lectures of physics. I'm a physicist who has done well ov

Ferromagnetism has nothing to do with currents, it is due to aligned spins of partially filled shells. Below a certain temperature (Curie temperature of the material), exchange interaction (which penalizes any misalignment, in the case of f

What of it? So does nvidia-vaapi-driver. They're third party projects, that's very different from "supported by the vendor", and doesn't change the fact that NVIDIA as a vendor offers no support for VA-API. By the w

You can make the same argument for VDPAU. AMD officially supports it, and there is an unofficial translation layer with limited capabilities for some Intel GPUs. Is VDPAU not a vendor specific API anymore then? Intel, AMD and NVIDIA have th

That becomes relevant for frequencies that are high enough to break Cooper pairs. But this material is claimed to be in the superconducting phase up to 400K, which corresponds to a superconducting gap of 8.3THz.

Even when targeting 8-bit displays, recording 10-bit is still beneficial. Besides obvious benefits in editing and encoding, simply playing a 10-bit video file straight from the camera on an 8-bit screen is useful when applying any common &q
