Not OP, but i am here because it’s addictive.

Ostensibly, I came to be informed about special interest areas… But that’s not a fair representation of how my time is spent.

Why did you bite hair? " I don’t know"

I don’t think you can controlled burn a suburb tho.

No, I am not sure that I am.

Photonic processing, whilst very cool and super exciting, is not a quantum thing… Maxwells equations are exceedingly classical.

As for the rest it’s transistor design optimisation, enabled predominantly by materials science and ASMLs EUV tech I guess:), but still exploits the same underlying ‘quantum 1.0’ physics.

Spintronics (which could be what you mean by 2D) is for sure in-between (1.5?), leveraging spin for low energy compute.

Quantum 2.0 is systems exploiting entanglement and superposition - i.e. qubits in a QPU (and a few quantum sensing applications).

Good question. It would be application specific. I think evanescencnt wave coupling in EM radiation is considered " very classical" (whatever that actually means). But utilizing wave particle duality for tunneling devices is past quantum 1.0 (1.5 maybe?). However, superconductivity tunneling in Josephson junctions in a SQUID is closer to quantum 1.0, but 2.0 if used to generate entangled states for superconducting qbits for quantum computing.

Clear as mud right?

Can we trade?

Oh my sweet summer child, a 100x yes, if only it were possible.

But more seriously, if you’re doing EE, the world of quantum is your oyster. Specialize in RF/MW design and implementation, we use it for qubit control, and you’ll be highly valuable.

Quantum Physics Postdoc here. Although technically correct this is also somewhat misleading. You need the band structure of solids, which is due to quantization and Pauli exclusion principle. The same quantum mechanics that explains why we did those strange electron energy levels for atoms in highschool. The majority of quantum mechanics, however, is not required: coherence, spin, entanglement, superposition. In the field we describe semiconductors as quantum 1.0, and devices that use entanglement and superposition (i.e. a quantum computer) as quantum 2.0, and smear everything else in-between. This

Easiest way to tell is by level. If you’re level 12, then you’re ready to finish the game and won’t be far of being able to do so. That’s the best way to guess time left, spoiler free. I’ve completed a run in 30 something hours, and I’ve got one that is like 60+ hours long with ages to go.

As someone with two young children, I find playing with childless friends much faster as they can be flexible and play when i find free time than with childed friends on set weekly scheduled.

Got shadowheart yeeted into lava in that fight, was hilarious but made it a fair bit harder than most for sure.

You can change it at any time i think.

At first I was like, it’s fine. Then I realised we were comparing the flowing water. I didn’t even notice that the second image is of flowing water too…

Does she put in effort to make you feel special too? If not then more is broken than just the (lack of) effort you’re putting in.

Hahaha, that’s a fair question. I also realised later that jb hi fi don’t stock the steam deck … in aus. I had been looking at the nz page and made a poor assumption : https://www.jbhifi.co.nz/handheld-gaming-console/steam-deck-gaming-console-512gb/426726/

It also turns out whilst dicksmiths actually sells steam decks in aus they are now just a third party market place.

It does, however, support the point i had suggested - that the lack of steam hardware in Aus is a ‘personal’ thing, given that you can get them from a first party supplier in nz but not here.

Australia fined valve over return policy. I think it’s personal.

You can buy them from Dicksmiths or JB

I think the microtransactions praise was more are, non predatory marketing / extracting every last cent praise. Didn’t Stanfield have a premium cost to pay a week earlier or something? Is that not a similar concept, albeit nowhere near as shit as microtransactions.

Are we not all tired of being wrung out for our cash? What’s so wrong with just charging what you need so that you can make a game.

Sorry about that, works fine for me. Thanks for trying to look i guess.

Its Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) advice on COVID boosters. Your can probably find with duckduckgo.

I’ve got a lot of trust for them, as they were always very clear with their recommendations and reasons during the pandemic.
