“Anti-pornography” specifically means “anti-LGBT” to them.

What is the “executable” in this context? I’m kinda confused as to what you are looking for.

What’s wrong with parsing the input files at runtime? Is it performance? Do you want one file to load instead of multiple?

Many have suggested pickle, which is kinda what you are asking for, but on some level it’s not much different from parsing the input files. Also, depending on your code, you may have to write custom serialization code as part of getting pickle to work.

Note that pretty much every modern game is a bundle of often multiple pieces of executable code alongside a whole bunch of separate assets.

That’s a good point which is part of why there is a lot of active research into quantum networking. Once you can connect two otherwise independent quantum computers, you no longer have the issue of increasing crosstalk and other difficulties in producing larger individual quantum chips. Instead you can produce multiple copies of the same chip and connect them together.

Because the math checks out.

For a high level description, QEC works a bit like this:

10 qubits with a 1% error rate become 1 EC qubit with a 0.01% error rate.

You can scale this in two ways. First, you can simply have more and more EC qubits working together. Second, you can near the error correcting codes.

10 EC qubits with a 0.01% error rate become one double-EC qubit with a 0.0001% error rate.

You can repeat this indefinitely. The math works out.

The remaining difficulty is mass producing qubits with a sufficiently low error rate to get the EC party started.

Meanwhile research on error correcting codes continues to try to find more efficient codes.

I mean the known theory of quantum error correction already guarantees that as long as your physical qubits are of sufficient quality, you can overcome decoherence by trading quantity for quality.

It’s true that we’re not yet at the point where we can mass produce qubits of sufficient quality, but claiming that EC is not known to work is a weird way to phrase it at best.

And guess who constantly lobbies and sues to keep things that way?

Error correction does fix that problem but at the cost of increasing the number of qubits needed by a factor of 10x to 100x or so.

Yes but you don’t have anything to make power to charge it :/

I started on lemmy.ml because I thought it was “the default one” to some extent. Learned that was a mistake pretty fast. Glad I found this one.

Their trackpad can and does work via USB so ???

I have one of their trackpads and it works great with Ubuntu over USB but not over Bluetooth for some reason. (It connects, but Ubuntu doesn’t handle it well.)

I don’t believe everything on the internet is a lie (although of course I don’t believe everything on the internet is true either). You have to read it and judge for yourself.

In the case of getting medical advice, there is an inherent bias to finding anecdotes on the internet. The people who post are going to be the people who have something to say. That’s going to be either people who had a life changing positive experience, or who have something to complain about. The middle-ground experience is underrepresented.

However, there is value in anecdotes. The doctor can tell you high likely a given side effect might be, but people on the internet might have a better description of what that experience is like.

I try to take in as much information as I can when I am making an informed decision, including things like asking my doctor, finding anecdotes on the internet, and finding actual scientific papers.

In a disaster situation they have to decide who does or doesn’t get treatment:

Cause you get hilarious posts like this

It comes full circle because the proposed solution is to increase the number of people who are able to work, with the idea that those people will take on more jobs, and those jobs will fund pensions.

I think this is a bad idea because we already have more workers than useful jobs. An increase in the population wont really help.

Your response was

It’s not about necessary jobs, it’s about paying into social security / pensions.

In my answer those are two topics that are not directly related, although they are linked by both having to do with the economy.

Hence I gave responses to both topics.

If the jobs aren’t necessary, then surely there’s a way to organize society without those jobs existing.

This is the fundamental argument behind universal basic income.

As to the question of how to fund stuff like pensions or UBI without everyone working, the answer is simply to tax those who are working more, especially those making huge amounts of money.

We already have far more people than necessary jobs. One person with modern trchnology can produce way, way more than one person could even just a century ago.

To add to how scary prions are, you can’t really cure them, and when the prions get on a surface, it’s extremely difficult to sanitize that surface in a way that will destroy the prions. A lot of techniques that kill bacteria or even viruses like alcohol won’t work on them. Heat works but you have to make it extremely hot, much hotter than what’s needed to kill something like a bacteria.
