I used to fact-check most online claims before believing them. Now, it’s too much work. New strategy: I just check if the claim exists on Facebook. If so, I automatically assume it's pure BS.

Initialisation of the ground-state by sequence of quantum gates (on a Quantum Computer). I should maybe make a graphical string-net package for Mathematica. Worked out nicer than expected, saved so much time checking concrete formulas and algorithms.

I feel the real problem is that you grew up on a train line. Would even call it child abuse.
I don't recognise the language being spoken on my train anymore. Not a single conversation in English for 40 minutes. I look around and realise I'm the foreigner now. In my own country. On the train line I grew up on. And if I mention this, I'm the problem.

Blossoming democracy...? I vaguely remember a time where words used to mean stuff... Feels like so long ago.
No matter what you think about President Ahmed al-Sharaa, you have to admit that the turnaround we have seen in Syria in less than a year is absolutely insane, from an international pariah state stuck in a bloody decade-long civil war, who’s only allies were China, Iran, and

The ground-state of a topological ordered phase with Fibonacci anyons, as a string-net condensate on a finite trivalent graph (three honeycomb plaquettes). No reason to share, beside I was happy I could draw it neatly in Mathematica.

In the above thread you'll find this line at the end, after "he's not islamist enough" but before "he is Ba'athi and reincarnation of Saddam".

I see so many nonsense threads about Mamdani, claiming he's jew-hating Hamas to him not being islamist enough. The logic never makes sense, until the last few lines where all these takes converge to their real gripe: Real danger is him being a leftist wanting to tax the rich.
I waited for the noise around Zohran Mamdani, the online shouting match that swung between defaming him and glorifying him, to quiet down a little before weighing in. Mamdani built his brand on grievance: the persecuted Muslim immigrant standing up to the big, bad West. But

Every time I hear Mandami’s anti- Semitic base shouting “Tax the Rich”, what I really thing they are saying is “Tax the Jews.” They are obsessed with bashing Israel and wealthy Jewish New Yorkers like @BillAckman . Connect the dots . @GovKathyHochul going along with this is

Steve Bannon: Trump is gonna get a third term and people ought to just get accommodated with that. At the appropriate time we’ll lay out what the plan is, but there’s a plan and President Trump will be the president in ‘28 https://t.co/1xfic2c92a

Is this a parody? Getting really confusing in 2025.
The @NobelPrize commission has LOST all credibility. @realDonaldTrump has ended 8 wars in 9 months and he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. Thank you @KremlinRussia_E for backing @POTUS! 🇺🇸 🕊️ 🇷🇺

Just kill the Nobel Peace Prize. I have never liked it, as it is inherently political in nature and dilutes the value of Nobel prizes in hard sciences (physics, chemistry etc).

Should also be added that for Khomeini, neither the dog nor human life mattered.
Americans will watch a video of an Afghan family getting murdered by our soldiers and say “They’re probably terrorists” but if the dog is shot, they’ll be upset. Khumayni was right when he said that an American dog’s life is worth more than an Iranian human’s.

Genuinely believing that these two claims are equivalent: 1) "Israel created Persian language bot networks/AI videos to promote monarchy during their attack on Iran" 2) "all monarchists are bots", doesn't make you a bot. It just reveals how dumb you are.
@upuouo @haaretzcom Since Haaretz report I keep staring into the mirror and ask Am I a real human? or if I am a bot designed so perfectly by Mossad to look like a human? I did not know @MOSSADil is a god and can create humans as well.

I have to do this "Export control" course as part of my job. I feel the UK government would benefit from going through this course as well, so they understand their own export control laws...
