God, we had so much fun doing this at my uni when creating an example DB table for an exam (only it was fake song/band combinations). Are you sure your coworker isn't a robot themselves?

I don't even understand why this is such a big contention, real and complex numbers are basically the same (equal cardinality sets), the reason we use C is because it makes math easier.

I reject the premise of the question, real numbers are fake anyway and complex numbers are equally as fake. We made both of those up. Just use the more ergonomic formalism bro.

Is there any place where I could find out wth this is but passed through a sneer filter already?

It was very much a Luddite movement that succeeded

That's interesting, because in Poland 95% of all history you are taught is "and then they grabbed guns because they were just so fed up with their* shit" and from modern history it's mostly anti-commumist worker movements that were all about general strikes and loud, disruptive protests.

Quantum computers are in fact (believed to be) more powerful than classical digital TMs in terms of efficiency,

Importantly though, not crazily so. We know they can do factorisation quick, and we believe classical cannot. But we also believe they can't quickly solve NP-hard problems.

(In each instance, believe means it's not proven, but the implications of it being false would be so weird and surprising we think it's probably true and are trying to prove it so)

Not sure if analog turing machines provide any new capabilities that digital TMs do, but I leave that question for the smarter people in the subject of theorethical computer science) did.

Capabilities in the sense that they can compute problems that digital TMs cannot? No, they cannot Capabilities in the sense they'd be more efficient at computing some problems than digital TMs? Hard af to prove or disprove.

Sorry but who the fuck is that? Not one of our common guests here, I need a primer on her

I think it's important to remember that Bayes was a real guy and bayesian statistics is a real useful thing even though Those Guys made it their religion. And they don't really understand bayesian statistics anyway.

I was in London last week and I can confirm it still has the Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, and streets. The Tube is as shite and loud and warm and tight as ever. I even got called a cunt once. Had a blast. On a scale of Bordeaux to Beans on Toast I rank it 9/10 Britishness
