2011 — 29 November: Tuesday
Could there possibly be any correlation1 between last night's late-night nightcap of my delicious damson "brandy" and the subsequent, dreamless, sleeping like a log that sees me rebooted — fresh as a daisy — at just gone 09:00? Perhaps I should perform some further controlled experiments.
With news items like these, where does one start? With the only interesting one, I guess.
- 20 tonnes of 'Marmite' ingredient shed on a motorway
- No working aircraft carriers until 2030
- Raspberry Pi
I always thought the ARM had a bright future :-)
What constitutes...
... "given only very mild assumptions" do you suppose?
Here we show that, given only very mild assumptions, the statistical interpretation of the quantum state is inconsistent with the predictions of quantum theory. This result holds even in the presence of small amounts of experimental noise, and is therefore amenable to experimental test using present or near-future technology. If the predictions of quantum theory are confirmed, such a test would show that distinct quantum states must correspond to physically distinct states of reality.
Just how much reality can one chap take?
The things I'll do...
... for a quiet, cool, life. I'm vaguely contemplating this not-so-little beauty to stick into BlackBeast:
One of us needs to keep a cool head.
Having just nipped out...
... for a few vital supplies, I think I shall now batten down the hatches for a while. Nasty weather. Though I've also fixed up a little stroll tomorrow on the possibly mistaken assumption that there's going to be some sunshine. We shall see.
[Pause]
Acting (as they say) on information received I've just been catching up with a concert featuring Emir Kusturica and the No Smoking Orchestra. (Link.) Thanks, Tom!
