Exception That Proves the Rule - Quantum Computing Grasping at Straws

The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything. Theodore Roosevelt But do you want to build a hi-tech quantum computer that is entrusted to solve crucial humanity challenges or your company issues, and it makes calculation mistakes? Name him/her Botanica? - Of course not. An error is not, nor it should ever be a part of payable results for specific queries. The error percentage of the quantum computer calculation is around one percent, the solution would surely be to dig deeper, sort of speaking, to multiplex several branches of the scientific field. How about "Error diffusion" - I'm positive that clever scientists will pick up some ideas, clues there. There are so many algorithms one could look up to see the guiding light πŸ’‘ and make quantum computers flawless - if the query is well-formed πŸ†— 

This Holiday Season

'Don't buy car, refrigerator' this holiday season Jeff Bezos, Founder of Amazon.com As an AI enthusiast, I still believe that AI will help us solve the problems of world hunger, misallocation of resources, corruption, and a better health system, as well as improve energy production in terms of sustainable development. Peace in a world without justice is not possible, that goes without saying and should not be emphasized, so for example it is not good that people are hungry, discriminated against, or enslaved. Peace is worth fighting for, but it is good to go through regular channels. China has 4-5 times more inhabitants than the USA, even if the Chinese have a higher GDP they are still very uncompetitive. The world should appreciate high standards such as freedom and democracy, which at least for now China does not intend to fulfill. It is strange that all kinds of industrial tycoons go there to invest, China is like a very big offshore, I suppose. There is too much sports ...

Joining the Eurozone in 5 Weeks Sharp

Euro was the first "virtual", "digital" currency, mainly used by banks and the financial markets at the end of the last millennium. Now it is visible and tangible, I'm so happy to be joining the eurozone here in Croatia πŸ‡­πŸ‡·  in 5 weeks sharp.  But the eurozone will be a small group of 345 million compared to 800 million people suffering extreme poverty or around 200 million with acute, life-threatening hunger right now. We should never forget those dear people needing our help πŸ†˜   and that's where I see Croatia's vital role - to feed the poor and enlighten people πŸ‘€  

Hope for Climate Justice

I'm an individual with great respect for human rights, don't want to be a collateral victim. Let the video-games rest in peace as soon as possible. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ We are nature in rebellion for survival, we have hope for climate justice. Time is running out, we want action. Hey-ho take my hand, our strength is in solidarity. Join our global and politically non-partisan movement where we use non-violent direct action to persuade governments to act justly on the climate and ecological emergency.

Naughty kids of goodwill or naughty kids in a bad mood are sometimes πŸ†— but please, I hope the party will go smoothly. Output power 2x40 Watts - that's the total capacity, I believe that quiet space, away from the city crowd, for this size of the gathering, is ideal. Only 69 kilometers from Ludbreg Center of the World 😊 will ensure you'll have a first-class party 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 Backup is a portable Bluetooth speaker.   ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ I’m so happy and satisfied, festive to be a part of this global 8 billion-people settlement we call Earth.

Stop Speeding Up the Process of Demolishing Life

Rituals, runtime, and burn-out syndrome have some effects on the older ones. Rituals are conducted by people, whereas a runtime (stage of the programming lifecycle), or an algorithm, is performed by a machine, usually a computer. It must be said that Earth will be protected, not entrusted to dilettantes. The universe is a place of inevitable destruction, but it does not give you the right to speed up the process and demolish the Earth, our life. Therefore, all those making big bucks on dirty business should stop because it's completely wrong and awful. Exxon posts record profit, Chevron tops estimates - I mean, where does it all end❓

Art is Also Important

Image
I’m an artist living in Zagreb, Croatia. I am a fan of technology, design, and writing. Knowledge is power, but art is also important. I have always loved doing abstract design using computers. At the beginning of the millennium, I experimented a lot with various filters for raster processing, but I gave up productivity because of critics. I was focused more on web design, I designed 🎨 my first website in 2004. But again in 2011 something attractive inspired me for designing, that's how my "Lovebirds to be" digital art graphics arose. I continued growth gradually by creating digital artwork in 2014, and 2017. I've sped up my creativity expression by creating a website completely dedicated to my graphics in 2018. Ever since I've published more than a hundred times. I'm trying to be open to new technology ideas, so I've created a virtual reality exhibition in 2021 and I plan the same this 2022 year. https://www.luka.jagor.info/Elevate.html" href=...

The 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference is Approaching

Peace is not the lack of movement, but the warmth in the heart. Like there is a notion of an active holiday, as silly as it sounds, we should connect, and blog to preserve fragile peace. There are many volunteers around the world and I wish to congratulate them for their perseverance. I hope very much that the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference will be a success. Check out this alarming article: https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/10/1129887

Popularizing Science

If we should go directly to the aggression source we should be careful because black-body radiation is significant. There are so many galactic sights to cover before sending a probe to a black hole, yet much curiosity arises from such a perspective. New ideas will emerge compatible with new theories, I would definitely like to show my admiration for the latest project of the deceased Stephen Hawking "Constraining the Multiverse" - that's where should be the focus of popularizing science. extra I'm with a band, with broadband hehe.

Protect Central Banks - With the Digital Era Prosperity Will Come to Light

Central banks need to be protected, which in turn protects price stability, without stable prices the numismatic story falls, so culture loses. On the other hand, I am not a big fan of tradition, but it is certainly important that the conversion is done without sudden changes.

Keeping Utopia Values and Goals Longer

Who is the real founder of democracy, or to put it differently "The mother of democracy"? Democracy is generally etiologically associated with the efforts of the ancient Greeks. Are the Christians with their cardinals - the men who will elect a new Pope on the death of the current incumbent - the real founder of democracy; India has its own argument to be the mother of democracy I suppose; and so does Croatia - with The Republic of Ragusa. In my opinion, just because parliament exists doesn't automatically mean the Republic is a real Democracy with human rights in place and equality for all its citizens. The Parliament of England is from the 13th century, but the Althing - the oldest surviving parliament in the world, is the national parliament of Iceland. The Althing is the oldest legislature in the world that still exists. It was founded in 930. Surely, French Revolution has popularised human beings as individuals best suited to democracy, protected by human rights, and...

Timeless questions? ( 6α΅—Κ° part )

1) What is Stockholm syndrome and how is it related to Swedish House Mafia? I believe the connection between these two concepts is that it is very difficult to leave. In the first, similarly to the second, there is a sense of belonging because the victim is allowed to perform basic life (physiological) needs. 2) When will the weather get back to normal and who/what ruined it? The weather isn't getting back to normal, there are too many factors working against it. When you ask yourself who/what ruined the weather take a look at any environmental documentary, it's about time.

My Market Watch

My daily monitoring of the stock market is a must, but superficial. I applaud recent value cuts to ease inflationary pressure. The USA stock bubble reminds me so much of Japan's bubble in the late 80'. My heart totally agrees with Buffet's approach to cryptocurrencies, but if I had the opportunity would invest, I've set up my crypto-wallet. I'm waiting for the act of kindness by my audience to start filling it. The thing I don't like the most about cryptocurrencies is energy consumption and the long time of the transaction. That's a big downside.  I'll remain modestly optimistic hoping a new version of the cryptocurrencies ecosystems will be better, keeping the terminology (brand). Such improvement is easy to expect in "Internet Technology", but, I know, it's easier said than done.

How to Avoid News Saturation

Shared from BBC: The deepest hole we have ever dug I give this example to explain how news can be a drag without a proper interpreter - 12.2 km hole vertical to Earth but the accompanying Earth diameter is 12.742 km.  Another problem was with a 'Fake News' chase - when people wanted to write about Jupiter's Great Red Spot - it's nothing new therefore it's not the news - it could be 'Fake News'. But now things changed unevenly and Great Red Spot is different. My way of avoiding news saturation is blocking all IM, SMS, and mob app notifications , except Natural Disaster Alert System of course, because it looks too radical for me to delete social network profiles altogether. Viral marketing produces many last-minute offers that you couldn't normally resist, the end of this massive salle-out begins with environmental concerns. There will always be another puppy to buy or another movie to rent, the key is acting restrained.

Borg, Free Speech, Renormalizing Thermostats - Energy Drainers

You see, when you're borg it's like having an octopus in your butt hehe - check out Oliver Heldens x Becky Hill - Gecko (Overdrive) [Official Music Video] https://youtu.be/kcZMCMI24gs I don't like that most people are just keeping a low profile, and then whoever speaks, who has the main word, is constantly charged for something. I sort of like the free speech absolutist approach. Moronic is a perfect language for the absurd: should we emulate psychocrats, and renormalize thermostats considering climate change, as they did with the IQ scale regarding the Flynn effect πŸ˜² A psychic vampire (or energy vampire) is a fictional and religious creature said to feed off the "life force" of other living creatures. from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There Is a Story Behind Everything, but...

 They say  there is a story behind everything but this bloggers' post seems inappropriate: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1419184341951913986?s=20&t=E9wRdQygTT--jywvE7NL1Q .  I'm sure many people reported it, but I would really like to know what's the story behind it, some stream of thought.

Freedom Under Siege

Freedom is under siege in eastern Europe, it's no big news. Belarusian blogger Roman Protasevich was recently canceled in a pirate manner. Also in the correlated Balkan area, things need to improve. If the current pandemic was the test of the generation, as they announced, then that area has failed, they are acting as the weakest link in the global chain.

Adding bio-life  It's imperative to get proper legal papers for such an ambitious plan, especially with interplanetary "contamination", the precautionary principle has no role here. We need to be strong and fearless to gain possession of that future construction site, not pussyfooting with general-purpose philosophers.

Internet Community Is Essential

The existence of the internet community is essential for well-being because we're all in the same boat. Maybe more like a yellow submarine 😊 I'm positive, after reliving the madness and discomfort there should be better days to come. Factors that produce #ClimateChange are deep-rooted, lots of effort is needed to overcome them.

My View of Compromise

Compromise is important because it saves energy, however, in that mode, it is not likely that either party involved in the conflict will be completely satisfied, victorious. Compromise should always be used as a tool for dialogue to continue, not as a purpose in itself. Compromise does what's best and helps you get closer to someone without causing too much stress so long-lasting relationships are possible. In the context of negotiation, a big role is a person who has a lot of power or leverage in the negotiation. They may be able to offer concessions that will make it easier for the other party to accept the deal. Putting oneself in a big role means taking on more responsibility for achieving an outcome, which could be beneficial if you can meet those expectations. I was taught I should never be uncompromised, so I mostly take the "easy way out".

My View on Latest Events - Malformed Developments, Catastrophes, Miseries

Key highlights  Escape rooms contribute to fear business A short-sighted rebel with ebullient psychocracy make people feel dull, tired There is no need for armed conflicts, there should be many layers of peacekeeping plan preventing it The solution should be in talking because there are lots of topics that imposed themselves and were pushed under the rug. Inflation, price hikes, new wars, pandemics, climate change, what does it take for a new geopolitical rearrangement? - We must be careful and constantly present, vigilant. My condolences to the victims.

Physical Activity Boosts Karma, Immunity

There are so many good effects of physical activity, I'm sure it boosts karma, immunity. I'll continue moderate training, hoping to burn out the extra fat. They say: "It’s All About the Journey" anyway, so I believe as long as I'm out in nature, breathing clean air, moving, working hard on my cardio and aerobic exercises, I'm good. For years and years, I try to get myself in shape. My calculation is always based on the same thing - experts say it's healthy to lose 2 kilos per month, not more. It sounds really good actually because in, let's say, 10 months a person can lose 20 kilos, which is much. I just hope I'll be successful this time.

Construction Lobby Is Seeking to Add More Work

The construction lobby is seeking to add more work, but we don't need 'endless' wind turbines which obscure the view of nature. Some other renewable projects pollute the environment too. We need to stop concreting, limit the consumption of the resources. There must be a feasible alternative for the solution to the problem of renewablesπŸ’‘ production, not another bulky construction.

Vegan and Vegetarian Nutrition Is Healthy and Trendy

Deficiency of a protein called RbAp48 in the hippocampus appears to significantly contribute to the memory loss that creeps up on you as you age. WebMD I've been a vegetarian for almost 7 years and it's been good for me because now, finally, I feel like I've gained strength.  However, I would like to emphasize from my personal experience and intuition - never neglect proteins, their daily intake, it's very important!

Reawakening of Transparent Alpha Channel in an Image

I was looking at transparent (O)LED desktop screens and I'm thinking how will it reflect in PNG, WEBP formats that support transparent alpha channel. Probably they should be portrayed all the way to go through the screen while browsing the web, for example. I'm sure new, breakthrough technology will bring a new type of GUI that will dazzle us even more.

Actual Social Contacts Sometimes Seem Less Real Than Online Ones

There is no transcript or timeline in your actual social contact, nothing you can grasp if you encounter a problem, especially regarding two-sided meetings. Social networks and texting apps are better for archiving your precious communication logs, they are hardly ever doctored. Go on, be safe and secure to entrust your life decisions to big tech companies, because if their infrastructure is compromised they will surely suffer even greater compensation, and you can always complain to Consumer Organisation.

The Dissidents Are Intriguing

A dissident is a person who actively challenges an established political or religious system, doctrine, belief, policy, or institution. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There is also The Dissident (2020) - a movie we should all check out, but it's amazing how sometimes those minority groups outweigh the insipid majority. Croatian Dissident - Wikipedia The term was used mainly from 1970 to 1990 primarily for intellectuals and artists who publicly advocated for the establishment of civil rights... ...to be victims of rigged political trials in which they were threatened with imprisonment, forced labor...  https://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disident

Selected Anniversaries - Rudolf Diesel's First Working Diesel Engine

People jog, exercise before work then go to work, often driving their cars. I believe it would be much more efficient to leave a car altogether, and live a healthy life, regardless of its status symbol. Statistics say you use the car only 4 percent on average of your time. Believe me, walking should be the transportation of the future Luka Jagor 2018, My Way of Free Trade as a Ticket for Global Prosperity  https://www.blogger.luka.jagor.info/2018/04/my-way-of-free-trade-as-ticket-for_16.html 1894 – Rudolf Diesel's first working diesel engine ran for one minute. A vehicle engine is important and good in some cases because it can provide transfer of people to hospitals and many other places, but it's bad because old-fashioned engines pollute the environment. We could focus on leaving cars ownership and settling in some cozy public transportation or car sharing. Many say the self-driving car is a utopian desire, but I would like to be an optimist. In my opinion, car ownership just...

Speculative Endorsement of Bisexual Erasure

Image
Bisexual pride flag By Michael Page - https://web.archive.org/web/20120204070907/http://www.biflag.com/Activism.asp , Public Domain, Link Richard C. Friedman, an academic psychiatrist who specializes in the psychodynamics of homosexuality, writes in his essay "Denial in the Development of Homosexual Men" that many gay men have experienced sexual fantasies about women or engaged in sex with women and that many straight men have experienced sexual fantasies about men or engaged in sex with men. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia That sounds true, I've heard such awkward "denial" attitudes from religious groups. There's so much more to be said, I'll always propagate an open society deprived of taboos, not to let go of wider acceptance of sexuality and contraception.

Hot Tips for Web Content Generators

One should patiently wait for the audience to gather, but be careful of fake news, they distract guests from websites. You should use the great power of autosuggestion to fight a self-fulfilling prophecy that competitors are spreading against you. The most important thing is not to look spooky because websites are becoming more autistic with all that consent confirmation, not authentic. Web 3 or web 3.0, semantic web, crypto web, should be used limitedly because of its experimental nature.

True Nature of Sunrise and Sunset From My Viewpoint

Pressure (temperature) equalization during sunrise or sunset is often linked with the mild, but notable wind. For me, a sunset is a special event that should be used by people being indoors, in some peaceful place to meditate preferably with their eyes closed, as I've said before, to build up some energy. On the other hand, you can always ventilate yourself to freshen up outside, enjoying the environment.

Black, White, or Gray

Image
In a pseudo monochromatic world where only one color prevails, everything else is a shade, there are Maximus and Minimum, let's say black and white, visualizing true/false. Looking at the "L.A. Law" an American legal drama television series, most judicial systems go with either 'guilty' or 'not-guilty'. The thing I like the most is the system “A hundred suspicions don’t make a proof.” (meaning beyond a reasonable doubt, I guess). But what about 1000, or a 10000? I like American TV production because it has a happy end, it's always nice to see justice in action. Every day I think about how I could have done something better, and not to make the same mistakes again, improve. With all my heart I wish justice. The bottom of the line would be for me is those that relativize and make 'endless' discussions just go in favor of criminals. Human Rights - is the right way to go.

The Gap of Discord Between Fossil Fuels and Renewables Supporters

Renewables generate more energy than is used in their production, and produce fewer emissions than other power sources over their lifetime World Resources Institute If only there would be more understanding between groups. I believe that renewables are better than fossil fuels, but there is so much work to be done, people are having second thoughts. Transition is never easy, it's always difficult to change habits, especially those that drove energy for so many years. Let's join our lives together to make sustainable development an actual reality, to make Overshoot Day a thing of the past.

Make Amnesty International More Influential

To be honest, I don't understand all the fuss about reading books, I mean, people are overloaded with information (noise) as it is, aren't they? I remember when we were reading poems in school there was always buffer time between reading and commenting. Also, I remember the Albert Einstein's story, when he took some time to think things over he has learned in college, only then did his great theories come to light. Maybe it's time for the creative pause so that humanity can make a proper response to written literature, but I know, it's an utopian suggestion. I see the Universe - not as inevitable destruction, but rather as a well of life. The problem is we're living on borrowed time, I would visualize Gaia as a horse, we're riding, but she wants to overthrow us. It's not news, but the situation is worsening because too many people are suffering, animals too, and when you suffer Gaia suffers as well. I believe we need to make Amnesty International more in...

Great Patriarchal Mentality Blocking Europe Integration

The world is like our young people - even fiercer, crueler. If you are a pacifist they are discrediting you, now are "in trend" those who are advocating the return of gladiators, MMA - that's cool, not peace on Earth. I like the idea of ​​the United States of Europe, I would like English to be the official language - one nation, one language, and no Slavic or anything like that. So best of all, USE is the future, especially since the population is declining, we would have less to worry about. We need to continue the processes of European integration, reduce bureaucracy, use algorithms to detect corruption. I believe that the Swiss, Icelanders, Norwegians, Britons, and others will see the right path and rely more firmly on togetherness because they are already living well from the stability of the European Free Trade Area. I do not believe that Russia and Turkey will join soon, due to the great patriarchal mentality - this does not happen with the rule of individuality and...

My Opinion About Web3 and Metaverse

In my opinion, at the time being, web3 is just an attempt to utilize Ethereum's Smart Contract API. If everything goes well there will be crypto-tokens instead of logging and passwords to browse user content. Those crypto-tokens costs and I see it as monetization of websites, just like NFTs were for Digital Art. In hypothetical 'web3' you'll have to spend a lot more money just to browse the web with all those access crypto-tokens. It's pay-per-view. Benchmarking of web3 would always show significant downside, by several orders of magnitude, compared with the regular server technology. However, such non-common sense could generate more income for fewer working hours at the tiptop of the ⚡ hype expansion. At the time being, my strong belief is that Metaverse just reflects a real-world scenario, meaning if you are unsuccessful in real-world - your "Avatar" will just reflect that condition no matter of social network brand name, to better support the establish...
