You have probably heard people saying that the problem with quantum mechanics is that it’s non-local or that it’s impossible to understand or that it defies common sense. But the problem is much simpler, it’s that quantum mechanics is a linear theory and therefore doesn’t correctly reproduce chaos. Physicists have known this for a long time but it’s rarely discussed. In this video I explain what the problem is, what physicists have done to try and solve it, and why that solution doesn’t work.

Physicists have known that it’s possible to control chaotic systems without just making them even more chaotic since the 1990s. But in the past 10 years this field has really exploded thanks to machine learning.

As discussed. if we went by definition of AI 20 years back we d probably say we are at Agi now. but goal posts are constantly bein moved to superior to humans in all areas. 20 years back would of called it ASI.

Stand back and take a look at the last two years of AI progress as a whole… AI is catching up with humans so quickly, in so many areas, that frankly, we need new tests.

Mark Zuckerberg and Jensen Huang’s friendship appears to be Silicon Valley’s latest bromance.

They have a lot in common: both run Big Tech firms worth trillions, they each have a signature jacket, and now they’re bonding over cheesesteaks.

The Meta CEO said the dynamic duo like to break bread and revealed what they chat about when they get together.

A new report traces the extraordinary lineage of a common Amazonian butterfly—and estimates the hybridization of its two parental species happened around 180,000 years ago.

Practically all of the matter we see and interact with is made of atoms, which are mostly empty space. Then why is reality so… solid?

Quantum gravity aims to find a description of spacetime and gravity that obeys the rules of quantum mechanics.
