@michael_nielsen @seanmcarroll You can't deduce anything about our subjective experience without taking a stand on the interpretation of QM. [mattleifer]
Given the ubiquitous misuse of terminology by non techie folks, should it now become accepted usage to refer to a "blog post" as a "blog"? [mattleifer]
Neither Barrett or Gisin reads Twitter, so we may never know their take on whether we should be Calvinist or Arminian http://bit.ly/c969UY [mattleifer]
A surefire way to generate inaccurate internet hyperbole: 1. Write sensible paper on Bell's theorem. 2. Put "free will" in the title. [mattleifer]
@orzelc Sure, but normally he isn't playing in my own back yard. [mattleifer]
Boy, Lubos is sure getting cranky about quantum foundations this week http://bit.ly/b8fz5d http://bit.ly/aqPlDi . [mattleifer]
RT @peterrowlett: RT @jamesgrime: Futurama and Keeler's Theorem (made rubbish by lawyers) http://youtu.be/dow7bWdr_YA?a [mattleifer]
In case anyone with Chronic Fatigue syndrome doesn't already know (which is unlikely) the Alter paper came out today http://bit.ly/bV7BGS [mattleifer]
The number of misconceptions per paragraph in this ( http://bit.ly/byFdhJ ) New Scientist article is one of the highest I have ever seen. [mattleifer]
@steveoc I think it is OK so long as you put a disclaimer on posts and use the kickback to buy books you want to to review on the blog. [mattleifer]
@steveoc Amazon, so you can get a juicy associate kickback. [mattleifer]
@ambermac Tired of social media jargon, like "personal brand"? Well, Unsuck it here http://bit.ly/aLnTK4 [mattleifer]
@steveoc CPAL is a "badgeware" license http://bit.ly/cHpPW0 and why have I never heard of oxwall before? [mattleifer]
Just read Bad Science by http://amzn.to/apqXmp by @bengoldacre. Finding his wisdom very helpful in interpreting ME/CFS medical advice. [mattleifer]
Very informative podcast about XMRV in CFS and prostate cancer http://bit.ly/cqzjun [mattleifer]
Advantages of being ill #1: Not being expected to wade through a 100 odd page paper to check if P!=NP http://bit.ly/a6cKiJ [mattleifer]
RT @michael_nielsen: Google Wave being discontinued http://icio.us/q3wiea [mattleifer]
@sc_k I've seen it sitting in the Cambridge University Maths library, although that is probably not much help. [mattleifer]
RT @mickbremner: Quantum information theory postdoc advert for Cambridge. Looks brilliant. I'd apply if I didn't already have a job! htt ... [mattleifer]
RT @sc_k: "More accurate than Heisenberg allows? Uncertainty in the presence of a quantum memory" http://bit.ly/91U3vZ [mattleifer]
In Waterloo, Canada. [mattleifer]
@finestructure It's got a really big screen so I can edit and read the pdf at the same time. [mattleifer]
My parents new computer is so nice that I just have to do some LaTeXing on it, but downloading TeXLive takes a looooooong time. [mattleifer]
RT @RebeccaSkloot: This just in via email from Adam Bly: ScienceBlogs has canceled the PepsiCo Blog, Food Frontiers. Issuing apology. [mattleifer]
@dabacon Complaints about tech support? Is that all PZ's got? It's not as if it is exactly hard to maintain your own wordpress install. [mattleifer]
@dabacon How about an article of faith? [mattleifer]
@dabacon Does this mean you are leaving ScienceBlogs? [mattleifer]
@TeXtip MathJax is newer and better and the author of jsMath is on the development team http://bit.ly/dd5i4U [mattleifer]
@steveoc Not yet. It looks like a viable open-source alternative to Prezi so I'm thinking about it, but math support may not be good enough. [mattleifer]
@sc_k IMHO, we have a quantum computer when the no. of qubits is limited by cost, rather than because we don't know how to add more. [mattleifer]
@sc_k 1. 15=3x5 is not impressive. Scalability is the key. 2. They meant many-worlds interpretation. 3. Entanglement sudden death is a joke. [mattleifer]
@sc_k It narrows the gap between superconducting qubits and ion trap qubits, but there is still a gap. [mattleifer]
