What's the pink coke?

Sounds like a good thing that they haven't yet

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Yeah basically. You aren't directly controlling the characters - setting tasks and stuff, but they act semi-independently.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'use it on that basis'. Yes, entanglement has been proven to work, but it can't be used to communicate FTL.

I read it. Doesn't mention FTL, because that's not a possibility for actually transmitting info.

Edit: I think the way these quantum encryption systems work is that basically the photons (and I assume it's polarization being measured) become the encryption key to a message that is sent conventionally.

Like the sender generates a bunch of entangled photons, sends the paired ones to the recipient, measures their photons and uses the results to encrypt the message, the receiver measures theirs and gets the same results, the sender sends the encrypted message over email or whatever, and the recipient has the same key because of entanglement.
Meanwhile an eavesdropper measuring the photons would mess them up for the recipient so the message wouldn't decrypt.

If you change one of the particles it just breaks the entanglement. If you measure one, then you instantly know the state the other will have when measured, but the result of your measurement - and therefore the other one also - is random. The only way to correlate the two measurements of the two particles is to send the results (at C or slower) to the same place and compare them. Otherwise each just looks like a random result.

Apparently "The Sims" is an example of a 4th person (not shooter) game.

So just being a school principal in the US.

I read about at least one that someone made, but I can't find the name now. You play as a blind character who can see through the eyes of the enemy NPCs and based on their view of your own character you have to try to aim for them.

Edit: found it, Second Person Shooter Zato

"Buckyballs" and other small magnet fidget toys. (For adults only of course!)

Sounds like Faraday understood the... potential.

I seriously miss having physical mouse buttons that can be felt when they click on a touchpad. I end up using a separate mouse on any laptop that I use regularly.

There are unfortunately some subreddits which are still the best place to find timely info about certain topics - for example video game subs run by the developers of the game. Lemmit is a way to subscribe to those while not giving Reddit any more "engagement" or ad views.

The bot that runs Lemmit only posts on its own instance, so users like me only see it when we subscribe explicitly (or the All view I guess, but that's a mixed bag already. Edit: and each user could choose to ban it if they want)
