  • The biggest thing you can do is to make the food you eat more enjoyable and eat more of it. I would have no appetite and starve if i had to eat your diet. The good news is that it’s possible to eat a lot better, but still very cheaply. Also you really need to eat two or preferably three or even four meals daily if you want to gain weight.

    I would remove eggs and cheese as they aren’t a good value. Add black beans, chickpeas, and lentils, which are good over rice (very cheap, especially if you buy them dry in bulk). Pasta too. Add spices, cheap hot sauce, tomato sauce, etc and it becomes a good meal. Try oatmeal for breakfast too. I would also make sure that you are getting as many fruits and vegetables as possible (apples, bananas, carrots, lettuce, broccoli, etc. not too expensive but will complete the meals and provide good nutrition). Also consider pan frying the potatoes - it’s tastier than boiling.




  • Well, quantum mechanics and quantum computing in general are very complex, and there are big parts of the field that nobody understands.

    But double slit experiment is often depicted misleadingly made to seem a lot more magical than it is. The simplified explanation is that light moves as a wave and interacts like a particle.

    The experiment sends light through one photon at a time. If the light travels through a single slit, it will form a wave pattern with one big peak. If there are two slits, the photon’s wave travels through both and moves like you would see waves of water do, making an interference pattern where the ripples coming from each slit collide. The weird part is that when you try to measure the photon as it passes through the slits, the only way you can observe it is by intetacting with it (so it interacts like a particle). It then then produces the patterns you would get with it passing through only one slit or the other, without the interference created by going through both.




  • This isn’t really accurate - “AI” is a somewhat meaningless term that just means machine learning, basically. Also LLMs are deterministic, but usually use a ‘temperature’ setting to add randomness. And any self-driving system is probably enough of a chaotic system so that sensor noise is enough to make it non-deterministic.

    That being said, I don’t think LLMs belong anywhere near a car.





  • With the machine they can’t, because it would work so well as a general purpose computer for offices and such. I think they could have subsidized it a bit though as long as it didn’t dip below the price of an equivalent traditional desktop. For the frame though, they absolutely could. I suppose some percentage of users won’t buy from steam, but I don’t think price would affect that percentage much unless it was super cheap. Realistically it’s going to push game sales a lot for valve.
