Wigner's cats with high-entropy random numbers

Recently, we have shown that using mixed matrix ensembles, a remarkable property appears, so called Wigner’s cats, i.e., shape of semicircle starts looking like a cat.

Yeah I think our schools do a bad job on this one. Energy is always conserved but “energy” per se doesn’t do anyone any good. What you need to do work is *useful* energy = low-entropy energy, like a gallon of gas, or water high on a mountain, or a bright, hot Sun in your sky. 1/

meme made by brutal cities, describing why post from quote is bad: The uncured image - appears to be rendered brick? fake - fake entropy = least brutalist thing ever - turns fresh water intro spectacle - not even built - AI Brutalism = Oxymoron - high embodied energy cost, never gives you chips or furniture in return - not even room for back of house, if real could fit 3 chickens tops - Chipless - Smells like fried circuit board & legionnaires disease - pure spectacle - you can't even kiss there - hideous "glass" balustrade with non compliant detailing - ductless loser compared to "The Meatspace Meatspace Brutalist KFC" which is a real brutalist KFC that is a bunch of half-octagons with every second one being flipped, first of them red with Colonel Sanders on it - Built in Manila, 1960's - beautiful memories were made here - Beautiful rhythm, amazing sculptural concrete massing - embioded energy = a lot but it will last forever and feed the people - even though it is altered, it thoughtfully provides pedestrians with shelter from rain - Meatspace & also full of meat - fills you with ecstasy to gaze upon - you could have a really romantic double combo meal there - Hazard stripes?? Iron within! - has cool ducting & grease traps - chips/fries - pacific office machines sounds cool as fuck

Today in #PhilosophyOfCosmology we finished up our exploration of the arrow of time by taking a brief tour of the relationship between entropy and complexity. Very high or low entropy implies simplicity; medium entropy can either be simple or complex. Dynamics determine whether complexity develops.

“Wikipedia was an important victory”

Shout out to his “daily beast foe”

Funny how these guys are always the ones who don’t want to pay for what they want lol
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_022216601 Page 1 From: Sent: To: Subject: Al seckel 12/15/2010 5:36:27 PM Jeffrey Epstein [jeeyacation@gmail.com] Results Importance: High Jeffrey, The bats did the sweep. Here are the new results taken as of a minute ago. You have only one negative article left on front page of google, which is the Huffington Post article. The Huffington Post is extremely hard to move, because it is so powerful, has millions of links to it, and uploads massive new and original content it on a daily basis with posting from out side readers. We managed to push it down the page, as it used to be at the top. If we were able to post original content to both the science and the org site (absolutely not a single word to this day by Jessica, just talk), we would have been able to push it down even further, and off the page. WE did manage to get rid of the daily beast article, which is now far removed, inspite of their own efforts to keep it removed, inspite of their own efforts to keep it prominent. Toxic suggested search engine terms that popped up automatically when you typed in your name are also now removed. Wikipedia was an important victory, as it will always be at the top of the search engine results. ow the head lines do not mention convicted sex offender or pedophile. Instead, Philanthrophic work, Epstein Foundation, Promotion of Scientists. We have stopped the hacking on your wiki site, and that was a major effor. Your wiki entry now is pretty tame, and bad stuff has been muted, bowlerized, and pused to the bottom. Careful editing and wording has muted the effect immensely. We hacked the site to replace the mug shot and caption, and now has an entirely different photo and caption. This was a big success. We pushed the Edge all the way up to the front page, where it was previously buried on page 5 of google search. We have promoted the other jeffrey epsteins, and other pages are also filled with your material. And, while the sites are up, and in the direction we hoped, they are still new, and subject to volitility, especially if new original content is not added on a minimum of a weekly basis. I have been forbidden to add now. added on a minimum of a weekly basis. I have been forbideen to add new content to the philanthrophic site as well as the science site, and therefore, as a result our rating slipped down (still on the first page, but would have liked them (and some of the articles to been able to push Huffington off page). We also helped with you images, and the first images that come of you on a google search are not of your mug shot, etc. Your daily beast foe is still at it, and trying to promote her sites against you in the same way that we try to depromote you. HOUSE OVERSIGHT 022216 As far as this site is concerned, and the continuation of this, I do not know what you wish to do. Clearly, you have no interest in my continuing. And, I am not sure if you want to continue the project at all. If the latter, and you stop, eventually it will just go into the way of entropy, and it will return to the old form. The major work has been done, but it needs to be maintained. For it to get better results, it needs to have constant input and supervision, and that means generating proper content, not just editing and grammatical fixes. Writers need to know what to write THe nhilanthranhy cito is at the hottom of write. THe philanthrophy site is at the bottom of the page precisely because you have not allowed us to add any content to it, and as a result it suffers. You paid Mike $2500, which he applied for the purchasing of his replacement servers, but his fee of $7500 balance is now due if you want to continue. Please let me know what you want to do. I need to inform him, and if you are not going to use him, he needs to take on his other clients and devote his time there. This needs to be contrasted with what we started with, which was a search on your name, which had nine/10 very toxic prominent stories, and toxic Wiki article and headline. Search Results 1.

Somewhat same here, but in the campus office on a Sunday afternoon working out what else I need to get done before the end of the semester, and when I can do it.

Home is very high entropy at the moment. Good luck with yours!

Solution: make both past and future *high* entropy. Which means the Big Bang can't be the beginning of the universe. Jennifer Chen and I suggested a specific model along these lines in 2004, using baby universes to create a double-headed arrow of time.

Yeah!! It was completely new cultural technique that let too so much paranoia and brain damage! How we viewed our bodies. I feel like seeing yourself constantly in high definition can only lead to a new age of phrenology. So maybe it's good to enter the entropy stage of the net.

Lorcan Lacusta (Pathfinder 2e Laughing Shadow Magus w/Captivator & Duelist Dedications, he/him) Lorcan a callow may (green hag) changeling. He grew up with his grandparents after his mom consumed his dad. He started off as a member of the night watch in Absolom before leaving for adventure. After gaining some fame as an adventurer but eventually returned to Absolom to enjoy his time bar hopping, gambling & generally being a cunty slut. He has magical tattoos on his left arm & right side of his chest that hold electric spells. He’s an absolute wretched mans. Sydney aka Brimstone (she/her) Old superhero OC that got a redesign not long ago. She is huge on social media, which was a pivotal turning point in a battle against Dormammu as she called her own Code White. She fights crimes with her parkour skills, rainbow flames & Green Lantern light. After graduating high school she continued leading her team Victory's Vanguards. Connor Fischer (World of Darkness, he/they) The right hand man to the prince of Frostheim (pirate city with Celtic & Norse origins). Their family serves at taking care of the darker side of politics because of this they never had many friends due to the stigma. However they are a skilled pirate (skilled in pistols, coordination & serving at First Mate) & help my group of hunters with their occult & medical knowledge. They use a mix of folk & modern medicines (using & creating) with some knowledge of magical healing. They have a love of ducks, have social anxiety, & have acidic blood due to a curse on their family line. They recently obtained a bracelet & set of rings that later was found to be a family relic weapon. Connor is still exploring all it can do. Lorelei “Rory” Winter (World of Darkness, she/her) An entropy/life mage from Cologne, Germany. She comes from a long line of mages & was trained by her mother & grandmother. She suffers from eldest daughter syndrome as she’s always taken a caretaker role with her younger siblings. However this has resulted in her making very few decisions for herself. During a divination reading she found a string of fate leading to her soulmate (it’s quite rare for someone to find their soulmate whether it be romantic or platonic). The only problem, the string led to Ames, IA USA. Torn between responsibilities to her family & coven & finding her own happiness she decided to take the step towards decisions for herself. After about a year of being in Ames she finally met her soulmate, Cas (one of my Hunter players). As she’s spent time with the party she’s come to see the reality of being a Hunter. When Cas was on death’s door she reflected on her next steps. Does she continue down this road despite its struggles or should she give up & avoid the constant life & death situations? She confessed to Cas her reasons for coming to America & that they are soulmates along with her growing romantic feelings towards him. The two started dating & now she aims to learn how to be a Hunter to support Cas & her new friends.

ENTROPY - the state our government is in thanks to the current corrupt administration: ENTROPY is a measure of disorder within the system. High entropy indicates rapid disintegration and chaos. In such a state, the system is vulnerable to both internal and external threats and is at risk of collapse

There is a bias among pundits to eye-roll and dismiss Dem opposition to Trump (such as the No Kings protests) as predictable. But in terms of raw numbers (both events and participants), what we're seeing is much bigger than e.g. the Tea Party movement was. Dems are a high entropy system right now

A new synthesis approach that removes oxygen during processing has enabled the creation of seven novel high-entropy oxide ceramics with potential uses in energy storage and electronics. doi.org/g97fh3
Simple stabilizing solution leads to seven new ceramic materials
Sometimes, less really is more. By removing oxygen during synthesis, a team led by materials scientists at Penn State has created seven new high-entropy oxides (HEOS), a class of ceramics composed of five or more metals with potential for applications in energy storage, electronics and protective coatings.

Shower thought: there will likely not be any beings that excrete Einstein-Bose condensates as waste, since waste is generally high entropy for open thermodynamic systems maintaining themselves and BEC is quite low entropy. Same for laser light.

i've never taken thermo. in statistics, a high-entropy relationship is one in which you need a lot of data to understand potential outcomes. in other words, it's unpredictable, in a chaotic sense, not just in a high-variance sense. i'm saying the potential for meaningful change is very high

But in the real world, gravity exists. Many of the states you naively have in QFT have such high energy that they would collapse to a black hole. And black holes have finite entropy.

It's probably best to think of Hilbert space as "locally" finite-dimensional, but we honestly don't know for sure.

I was also confused, because in thermodynamics, high entropy has the opposite implication: potential is minimal.

"High Entropy System" is a good way of describing it. I think that the Democratic Party of ten years from now (assuming Democracy survives lol!) is just unrecognizable from what came before, but I'm not confident in exactly how it'll be different.

Autism. But also high expectations. Be honest about what your expectations are and try to acknowledge that life is entropy and you really can’t control anything. Control is a fear response, figure out what you’re afraid of.

The study finds that stale data can be as informative as on-policy data, unlocking more scalable, asynchronous RL for LLMs.

Why? It reveals the dual nature of high-entropy tokens: while high-entropy tokens are crucial for learning progress, they also introduce instability in the off-policy setting.

More high-entropy tokens utilized → Better performance, but less stable training.
