Ha a crossover physics joke ftw :)

“but I recognize myself less in his books than in many others or in the laborious strumming of a guitar.”

The thing about problems in NP is that once you verify them, you can cache the result, and then the joy of discovery is just a lookup.

“Years ago I tried to free myself from him and went from the mythologies of the suburbs to the games with time and infinity, but those games belong to Borges now and I shall have to imagine other things.”

I’m not a Platonist, but somedays the solidity of what has been discovered overwhelms me with awe.

Too many encoded qubits, not enough exchange magic :)

My favorite simple non Pauli stabilizer code is the single qubit error detecting code stabilized by U x U x U x U. So pretty. So symmetric.

See if I can dig up the animated gif logo I made :)

Why did you get on I-5 ;)

I tracked my heart rate during my son’s fencing tournaments and the correlation with the closeness of the score was amazingly high.

Also yeah it was really cool, I was self taught in physics and it played a big role by providing me problems to learn from before I went to college.
