So After walking in woods unfamiliar to me for hours, I worked on my garden beds, and then, after all that glorious sun and not a lot of food, I started day drinking, (and then smiling as I thought of Eddie and how he and I would chat about spring 🌱💜 - love has started to grow, Eddie, some love has been planted, ready to be sweetly treated🌺). And then after Truly #2, I felt an overwhelming pain 😢 and a lump in my throat. I miss my fedi fam. So, I just (in a slightly intoxicated way) needed to pop in and say thank you for every smile, hug, and tear we ever shared. Many thanks for the support you have given me through the years and so many of you who continue to carry me through my days without even a word said to me. I truly miss you. (Please don't expect to see me here for reasons, but do know I totally think of you all, nearly daily, your personal adventures, the beautiful and private moments so many of you have shared with me.) Keep being the kindest people on the internet. 💜🌺

There isn’t only one reason for that to happen. I have two old smartphones around. Both are no longer usable with any cell plan in Canada. The first (and oldest - originally mine before becoming a hand-me-down to a relative) went out of use after the elderly person who was using it had it active for a year or two but then stopped bothering with it due to his illness keeping him at home and preference for larger screens in general. The other I’d still be using (still use it for some things!) if I could. I have always used my computers, phones, etc. as long as I could get away with but for #2, I had to get a newer (but used) phone to keep service after the end of 3G in Canada. The new phone is definitely nicer in some ways but I wouldn’t have changed phones if I had a choice. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Very interesting and entertaining book. It is difficult to describe without spoiling the plot so I won't but I found it quite funny, and definitely looking forward to the #2 of the series from @cstross@wandering.shop (comment on The Atrocity Archives (Laundry Files, #1))

@sunflowerinrain@mastodon.online I suppose? But only in a very literal sense. If someone's in the middle of a long explanation or story or something on a text chat system, there's more than one reason I might look for something else to read. One, yes, is if the thing they're saying is just not interesting to me at all. But another is if it _is_ interesting, but arriving slowly, because their typing speed is the limiting factor. In scenario #2, you could make a case for the literal truth of the statement 'I am bored', in that I'm repeatedly getting slightly bored (microbored?) waiting for the next fragment of the interesting thing. But shouting 'bored!' at the speaker sounds as if you're accusing them of being case #1, which is not just rude but also untrue!

@sunflowerinrain@mastodon.online and come to think of it, the risk of accidentally interjecting 'bored' into the chat window is _higher_ in the #2 case where it's more misleading. If the current conversation is really of no interest to me _at all_ then I'm more likely to minimise or close the chat window completely, and come back later to see if the subject has changed. But in case #2 I leave it open and keep checking back for the next part of the story – so the window is available for accidental keyboard focus, where it wasn't in case #1!

Also Bell experiments have proven the indeterminacy which you say is absurd. No theory of local hidden variables can describe quantum mechanics. You say Bell’s theorem disproves realism, but then you immediately follow it up with saying it disproved local realism… It never even crossed Bell’s mind to deny reality. He believed that the conclusion to his own theorem is just that it is not local. Also, again, this is not about indeterminacy and indeterminacy, but about indefiniteness and definiteness. These are not the same things. To say something is indeterminate is merely to imply it is random. To say something is indefinite is to say it doesn’t even have a value at all. He’s asking where the line is between this indeterminacy and determinacy. At what scale to things move from quantum to “real” and why? You could in principle make this non-realism make sense if you imposed some sort of well-defined physical conditions as to when particles take on real values, but it turns out that you cannot do this without contradicting the mathematics of quantum mechanics. These are called physical collapse models, like GRW theory, but these transitions are non-reversible even though all evolution operators in quantum mechanics are reversible, and so in principle if you rigorously define what conditions would cause this transition, you could conduct an experiment where you set up those conditions, and then try to reverse it. Orthodox quantum theory and the physical collapse model would make different predictions at that point. These models never end up being local, anyways. The reason I say value indefiniteness is absurd as a way to interpret quantum mechanics is because it is not necessitated by the mathematics at all, and if you believe it: It devolves into solipsism if you do not rigorously define a mathematical criterion as to when definite values arise, because then nothing has real values outside of you directly looking at it. If you do rigorously define a criteria, then it is no longer quantum mechanics but an alternative theoretical model. So, either it devolves into solipsism, or it is a different theory to begin with. Bell was fine with #2 as long as people were honest about that being what they were doing. He wrote an article “Against ‘Measurement’” where he criticized the vagueness of people who claim there is a transition “at measurement” but then do not even rigorously define what qualifies as a “measurement.” He wrote positively of GRW theory in his paper “Are there Quantum Jumps?” precisely because they do give a rigorous mathematical definition of how this process takes place. But Bell also didn’t particularly believe there was any reason to believe in value indefiniteness to begin with. You can just interpret quantum mechanics as a kind of stochastic mechanics, just one with non-local features, where it is random but particles still have definite values at all times. The same year he published his famous theorem in 1964 in the paper “On the Einstein Podolsky Rosen Paradox” he also published the paper “On the Problem of Hidden Variables” debunking von Neumann’s proof that supposedly you cannot interpret quantum mechanics in value definite terms. He also wrote a paper “Beables in Quantum Field Theory” where he shows QFT can be represented as a stochastic theory. He also wrote a paper “On the Impossible Pilot Wave” where he promoted pilot wave theory, not necessarily because he believed it, but because he saw it as a counterexample to all the supposed “proofs” that quantum mechanics cannot be interpreted as a value definite theory. My point isn’t about randomness/indeterminacy. It is about “indefiniteness,” the claim that things have no values until you look. This either devolves into solipsism, or into a theory which is not quantum mechanics.
