21 sats \ 0 replies \ @chaoticalHeavy 19 Nov \ on: Old ‘Ghost’ Theory of Quantum Gravity Makes a Comeback science
ghosts barely exist. They show up only fleetingly, over short distances. In those instants there is a heavy price to be paid, but it isn’t stability or unitarity. Rather, it’s the normally rigid ordering of cause and effect. That minus sign allows ghost particles to briefly skip backward in time, where they can influence particles that they otherwise couldn’t. In this picture, the inexorable forward flow of time that we experience would emerge as a delicate average over lots of temporally squishy micro-moments.

Genesis
22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

This was his whole problem at that time.
Did he ever get over it?

accidentally deleted all of your profile images
This is good though because the new profile images can be animated now!

That's a damn nice beard on that guy!
21 sats \ 0 replies \ @chaoticalHeavy 7 Nov \ on: We chose OCaml to write Stategraph tech
We chose OCaml because its type system catches entire categories of bugs at compile time that would require extensive testing and still slip through in other languages.
53 sats \ 1 reply \ @chaoticalHeavy 7 Nov \ on: I Love OCaml tech
to summarize why I love it: the right balance between simple and expressive, good documentation and good tooling.
It's a good article for people unfamiliar with OCamel.

Thanks for having this product available, my wife says she wants to try it on her hair.
By the way, WalMart is selling refined beef tallow in jars next to the Crisco and the duck fat now.
I use a mixture of 1/2 suet tallow and 1/2 beeswax by weight. We call it "Fixin Wax" and it works on leather, iron, skin and hair. Water will bead up on your skin or hair.
edit: I'm getting a timeout on your link.
12 sats \ 1 reply \ @chaoticalHeavy 7 Nov \ on: To What Extent Is the FAA Privatisable? Politics_And_Law
the airlines (already private) come together as a sort of consortium that will hire the traffic controllers
Yes, that is exactly what I have been thinking. It would require more trust in the airlines but almost no trust in government.

“So much of physics comes down to understanding geometry,” said Jonathan Sorce(opens a new tab), a theoretical physicist at Princeton University. “And often in surprising ways.”

I don't partake in this frugality and sacrifice.
That is a scarcity mindset and it makes you expect to have "not enough".
0 sats \ 0 replies \ @chaoticalHeavy 2 Nov \ on: Visopsys: OS maintained by a single developer since 1997 tech

Goals

The primary goal of Visopsys is to cherry-pick the best ideas from other operating systems, preferably contribute a few new ideas, and hopefully avoid (re-) introducing some of the more annoying elements.
0 sats \ 0 replies \ @chaoticalHeavy 1 Nov \ on: Show HN: Strange Attractors tech
Very nice visualizations.
One of the defining features of strange attractors is their sensitivity to initial conditions. This means that small changes in the starting state of the system can lead to vastly different long-term behaviors, a phenomenon known as the butterfly effect. In chaotic systems, tiny variations in the initial conditions can amplify over time, leading to drastically different outcomes.
