The internet is great because you can see how various institutions in our society are just tyrants and frauds. They command no authority anymore. Any trailer trash loser with Aspergers can create a magazine but they can't monopolize the discussion. They don't listen and they don't care. On the internet, we can just go around their fifth-rate venues. People should be creating free speech alternatives to the tech giants.MD Coryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05342743632013663077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148573551417578681.post-24666280434907017842018-08-28T02:27:11.676-07:002018-08-28T02:27:11.676-07:00How about Nobel Laureate of physics, Robert Laughl...How about Nobel Laureate of physics, Robert Laughlin? *cough*MD Coryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05342743632013663077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148573551417578681.post-23285360341795726862018-08-28T02:25:50.324-07:002018-08-28T02:25:50.324-07:00Good God, don't give any more money to any phy...Good God, don't give any more money to any physics.

Computer Science above almost all other disciplines must adhere to Garbage in, Garbage out. <br /><br />Unless of course, what you really want is just more money with no expectations of any results, and the science is just sophisticated window dressing. Claiming that science funding is good because 'science' is virtue signaling for 'please cut my funding, I have no idea what I'm doing'.CFTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148573551417578681.post-66933122713358828132018-08-27T10:44:20.766-07:002018-08-27T10:44:20.766-07:00Just think of it as a billion dollars for condense...Just think of it as a billion dollars for condensed matter and low energy statistical physics. That's a good thing, right, even for an empiricist? People will just have to work Hilbert spaces into their proposals, which isn't hard to do even if you're doing something completely classical: all you need do is use a fourier or some other transform. Actually using the word "quantum" <i>might</i> get you more money, but <i>deep down</i> everybody knows it's really "Hilbert computation", leveraging the algebra of linear projection operators on a Hilbert space, however that may be instantiated in the engineering.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08654675777726560464noreply@blogger.com
