![Interpretations
The authors state that the ability to obtain information about the bomb's functionality without ever "touching" it appears to be a paradox that, they argue, is based on the assumption that there is only a single "real" result.[3] But according to the many-worlds interpretation, each possible state of a particle's superposition is real. The authors therefore argue that the particle does actually interact with the bomb and it does explode, just not in our "world".[5]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mes2cq5c4kbe2gc64u7yxblm/bafkreiaphsrdnhrxblijjxgzjovps332ditg7aizg7imp6stgwysvbm24i@jpeg)
![Improving probabilities via repetition
The probability of exploding the bomb can be made arbitrarily small by repeating the interaction several times, which is closely related to how Grover's algorithm works.[9] It can be modelled in a convenient way with the quantum circuit model.[10][11] Assume that a box which potentially contains a bomb is defined to operate on a single probe qubit in the following way:
If there is no bomb, the qubit passes through unaffected.
If there is a bomb, the qubit gets measured:
If the measurement outcome is |0⟩, the box returns |0⟩.
If the measurement outcome is |1⟩, the bomb explodes.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mes2cq5c4kbe2gc64u7yxblm/bafkreic6a2y42hhv4jvngoy2ve43mtjabfkcqakp22bim3ma4ci5dmsup4@jpeg)
![The bomb tester takes advantage of two characteristics of elementary particles, such as photons or electrons: nonlocality and wave–particle duality.[2] By placing the particle in a quantum superposition, it is possible for the experiment to verify that the bomb works without triggering its detonation, although there is still a 50% chance that the bomb will detonate in the effort.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mes2cq5c4kbe2gc64u7yxblm/bafkreichizyfceft45vf4beety65273dqx7yixbvnf2my5spcoyuo5vxla@jpeg)

right, because the person you're replying to told you a quote of tim walz and his own excuse, not their own opinion. as far as i can tell they're clarifying that it's unlikely he'll use them against ICE and not protesters

its really funny to me how Person of Interest perfectly captured how coders were going to use The Machine except now it's just benign instead of grandiose what with compacting context and forwarding it to the next instance

it's probably for vision accessability but there aren't even sidewalks in the direction of those crosswalks, so few ever actually use them and everyone just assumes the crossing is in the middle the times I've been there

so hidden inside of this are some really interesting numbers.
they have 20,000 people which might not include the surge.
they get 220,000 applications.
they give 18,000 tentative job offers.
10,000 get past the offer stage (probably doesn't count pending offers tho)

yeah so in the late 90s and early 2000s companies paid a lot of money to have all their bad c, cobol and fortran code be written in Java
![Latest version
The latest version is Java 25 released in September 2025, the latest long-term support (LTS) version. It is one of a few LTS versions still supported, down to Java 8 LTS. Oracle extended support for Java 6 ended in December 2018.[14] As an open source platform, Java has many distributors, including Amazon, IBM, Azul Systems, and AdoptOpenJDK. Distributions include Amazon Corretto, Zulu, AdoptOpenJDK, and Liberica. Regarding Oracle, it distributes Java 8, and also makes available e.g. Java 11, both also currently supported LTS versions. Oracle (and others) "highly recommend that you uninstall older versions of Java" than Java 8,[15] because of serious risks due to unresolved security issues.[16][17][18] Since Java 9 (as well as versions 10, 12–16, 18–20, and 22–24) are no longer supported, Oracle advises its users to "immediately transition" to a supported version. Oracle released the last free-for-commercial-use public update for the legacy Java 8 LTS in January 2019, and will continue to support Java 8 with public updates for personal use indefinitely.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mes2cq5c4kbe2gc64u7yxblm/bafkreig52noxoyyyywyujouqmcjf7ctzjvsaccqkzrvnzy2hnk2aowpgxi@jpeg)
