You virtually always hit the noise limit before you get to the point where you have to worry about the fundamental discreteness of matter and energy. The majority of quantum experiments involve a lot of cooling and isolating of systems with very good reason!
However, due to the statistics, you can actually detect the effect of discrete electrons, without going to the level of single-electron measurements. But broadly speaking you're correct.
Good point, the important specification would be "50% of what time?"
I've always had this problem about the whole idea of probability. If the odds of you dying in a car accident are 1/1000000, and you still die tomorrow, what good is the low number of one millionth? You either die or you don't. Probability is only a measure or a larger population, i.e. the fraction that gets the rock, death or whatever. The idea of a probability for a unique event is meaningless.
This is why I like the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. It gives real meaning to probability as the fraction of universes with the favourable outcome, even if the event is unique from our perspective (though with a total of infinite universes, the definition of a fraction can be tricky). On the other hand, changing the reality to suit a math concept is not necessarily the wisest thing.
I didn't realize that the "less than" symbol wasn't allowed.
Let me introduce you to this newfangled thingamagick called H. T. M. L.
There's basically NO open source hardware out there. And if there were nobody would be in a position to do much with it, because it would take a fab to make any change.
Even better, how come nobody ever thought about using "Sonboard"?
You swine!
Kernel versions are integer vectors. You may have noticed, after 3.8 and 3.9 we didn't have 4.0, but 3.10, which is "greater than" 3.1 despite the apparent decimal equality.
May the Swartz be with you!
FTFY.
next-gen is just marketing propaganda for "new, untested, and hype because it is not old 'X' "
I understand that may apply to Wayland or Mir, but not filesystems, unless you refer to XFS
Also, I understand that ZFS is not just a filesystem, as it also covers the functionalities of volume management, kitchen sink, life, the universe, everything, and emacs. Btrfs is a filesystem in the unix philosophy (unless the name refers to 'butterflysystem', in which case it covers all aforementioned functionalities and then some).
If I were picking a codename for my next product, I'm not sure I'd pick the name of a language famous for being useless for real work without vendor extensions.
Especially knowing how Nvidia performs with OpenCL vs. their vendor specific solution...
Turtles all the way down.
Doesn't seem too convincing for a fast GPU. But I guess it will be great for mining Slothcoins.
