Quantum Entanglement (A Love Story)
Poker Myth:
A good player should seek to push all of the common edges.
Why is it a myth?
Because a good player will be able to spot lots of hidden edges that other players are not able to see.
I think I'm completely wrong about the premise. But it kind of makes sense.
I skip out on many edges when the risk factor is high. In soft games a low risk edge is always around the corner.
Got assaulted at poker tonight!
Belligerant dude cussed me out after I stacked him.
Then he put his middle finger in my face, so I called the floor.
He called me a pussy and continued berating me. Finally he was asked to leave, so he pushed his chest in my face and threw an elbow into my back.
I wasn't hurt, but holy **** **** that guy, so I called security.
I filled out a report. They affirmed he would be dealt with the next time he comes in.
I'm supposed to drop off my report at a police station. Seems like it could turn into a headache for me? I dunno what to do about that.
Oddly enough, because he was being a drunk ******* earlier on and was right next to me, I had imagined him punching me in the arm followed by me biting his face off.
Quantum tunneling is a phenomenon in which particles penetrate a potential energy barrier with a height greater than the total energy of the particles. The phenomenon is interesting and important because it violates the principles of classical mechanics. Quantum tunneling is important in models of the Sun and has a wide range of applications, such as the scanning tunneling microscope and the tunnel diode.
To illustrate quantum tunneling, consider a ball rolling along a surface with a kinetic energy of 100 J. As the ball rolls, it encounters a hill. The potential energy of the ball placed atop the hill is 10 J. Therefore, the ball (with 100 J of kinetic energy) easily rolls over the hill and continues on. In classical mechanics, the probability that the ball passes over the hill is exactly 1—it makes it over every time. If, however, the height of the hill is increased—a ball placed atop the hill has a potential energy of 200 J—the ball proceeds only part of the way up the hill, stops, and returns in the direction it came. The total energy of the ball is converted entirely into potential energy before it can reach the top of the hill. We do not expect, even after repeated attempts, for the 100-J ball to ever be found beyond the hill. Therefore, the probability that the ball passes over the hill is exactly 0, and probability it is turned back or “reflected” by the hill is exactly 1. The ball never makes it over the hill. The existence of the ball beyond the hill is an impossibility or “energetically forbidden.”
However, according to quantum mechanics, the ball has a wave function and this function is defined over all space. The wave function may be highly localized, but there is always a chance that as the ball encounters the hill, the ball will suddenly be found beyond it. Indeed, this probability is appreciable if the “wave packet” of the ball is wider than the barrier.
glad you are ok, sorry for elbowing you, i was drunk
Got whacked at poker last night. It's okay, I will get it back.
get it
The politics forum has the best conversation on this site.
It's too bad it's a topic that I am not able to wrap my head around.
I started reading the new Mason/Sklansky book, Help Them Give You Their Money, last night before falling asleep. Naturally, I am a nit at poker, and am looking forward to reading about many fancy new ways to nit it up.
I like how they frequently mention that their advice is good, and that the reader is lucky to have it. So far that's all I've obtained from the reading. On page 22 currently.
I might have to read it twice to absorb the good stuff.
Spring training starts tomorrow.
So about 10 days off from sports, now it's back.
Baseball is back.
I predict Tigers & Phillies World Series.
It seems like it's going to be a crappy year for nintendo customers. Their next console is rumored to be pushed back to a 2025 release. There are seemingly very few first party games coming out this year. I have no interest in anything besides the Elden Ring DLC in June.
Heard a crazy 'theory of everything' the other day. Apparently we are experiencing time backwards.
I tried thinking about this but I don't think it's really possible to without mushrooms.
everything better with mushrooms
I need to try pizza with mushrooms but im trying to eat smart.
edit: if i were to cheat, what does mushrooms go best with? peppers? onions? pepperoni?
Extra mushrooms
I'd papa john's it (i have a large 1 topping $8.99 offer and i have a code for free cheesesticks too), and if i do extra mushrooms i dont think they'd actually put any extra on the pie.
i thought everyone in nyc ate sbarro?
More like sushi, sushi, and more sushi...
