Or you could embrace the vision, play on Hardcore with no map marker or compass, accept that travelling through war-torn lands is dangerous, feel the rush of galloping through the woods knowing a Cuman ambush could set you back 30 minutes, accepting that quests can fail, accepting that people will react to you stinking like blood and horse.

Actually turns out the blue zone thing is pretty dubious.

Don't worry, linear algebra is also useful for other, less famous stuff.

Is that maybe the trans joke? As in cis and trans for chemicals? If they were reflected normally, it would be cis.

Tak for anbefalingerne!

Det er uhyggeligt hvor hurtigt jeg ender med at drikke hver dag i en længere periode sådan helt ubevidst.

Starter med en aften hvor man godt lige kunne trænge til en øl efter en hård dag, næste aften er man ude at spise og skal lige have et glas vin til maden, næste aften mødes man med drengene online til noget spil og en bajer, næste aften står den på fredagsbrætspil og øller, næste aften har man en aftale med en gammel ven på et værtshus...

Det sniger sig godt nok ind på mig. Og jeg gider ikke være sådan en der drikker hver dag. Jeg kan heldigvis godt lade være når jeg så opdager at det er dét der foregår, men lidt skræmmende er det alligevel.

I tried to get into it a while ago, but it felt so half-cooked. This weird voice-over with the mispronounced words, the obscure tech tree and overall progression, I don't know...

It felt like a lot more work to get into than Factorio or Satisfactory did back in the day, with a smaller payoff.

Am I missing something?

That's insane. Is eigths the minimal resolution, or can it do stuff like "15 and 76/89ths of a pound"?

Is the Leviathan waking a good thing or a bad thing? It's a biblical thing right? They seem to be critical of the secret world government's strategy to freeze it to death with an artificial snow storm.

Interesting framing. But without measurements there isn't really a need for different interpretations, is there? If that's what you mean by "in the middle of an experiment".

I will happily agree that before measurement, it's very useful to think of the system as existing in many states at the same time.

I don't know, Many Worlds always led to more confusion than Copenhagen for me. But I suppose that's a matter of taste since they're equivalent.

As per the relationship between measurement and entanglement, from an empiricist viewpoint all quantum mechanical terms are related to measurement. If entanglement didn't affect the outcome of measurements, it wouldn't exist.

Indeed, you can disentangle an entangled system, which of course will change the outcome of measurements - that's how you know it's been disentangled.

Copenhagen interpretation doesn't break down for quantum erasure. Upon measurement you collapse the total quantum state into a result where the two measurements are consistent, that's simply what entanglement means.

The timing of experiments, and the choice of what to measure, are elements ultimately irrelevant to the above statement, as the quantum erasure experiment demonstrates.
