Off to Buckingham Palace to be the “hostage” ensuring HM The King’s safe return when he opens Parliament - a tradition dating back to Charles I. Not sure I’m looking forward to it, but glad to play my part!

I am traveling in India and my MacBook M4 Pro fried. It was working perfectly fine, and I let it run to zero battery. Then it refused to boot up regardless of charging. Apparently it was in DFU mode and has failed a DFU revive attempt at Bangalore’s Apple store. Now they want to replace the “logic board” and it will apparently cause a complete data loss (my last back was a month ago; shame on me I know). Has anyone experienced this and recovered their data? Apple M4 laptops are great until they aren’t.

and today published a report on how it boosted freight volumes without any headcount increase. And boom trucking, railroads, and airlines stocks drop by 5%. WSJ report: wsj.com/livecoverage/s…

A company that up until 6 months back was selling karaoke machines is behind today's 5% crash of transport stocks. How? It sold its karaoke business, bought an AI company that optimised truck loads, renamed itself from Singing Machine Co to Algorhythm, and.. 1/2

My philosophical argument against ozempic: I don't want to eat dosa. But i want to *want to* eat dosa. I don't want to dull my desire. I want to master it. Ascetic, not zombie.

@NGKabra It's strange that sometimes math got invented first and we later realised it can describe the physical world so well. It's part of what Wigner explains in his classic essay on maths in natural sciences.

Of course, as multiple people have pointed out, the uncertainty principle existed first, and the mathematics is just an after-the-fact method to model/explain the behaviour. This is trivially true. And yet, the reverse is a reasonable shortcut to use when talking about human discovery/understanding, especially in Quantum Mechanics and Relativity. In these fields, maths was used to model some initial observations, and then that same maths was further extended, resulting in predictions of behaviour that we hadn't yet observed—predictions purely based on the maths. This is true of things like black holes, gravitational waves, and much more. In fact, in many such cases, some people refused to believe the maths and assumed that the maths was wrong. But others believed the maths and tried to construct experiments that would prove the maths correct (and were proven true, sometimes decades later) Combine this with the fact that much of the maths in Quantum Mechanics is so counterintuitive and difficult for humans to visualise/model in their heads. As a result, experienced QM scientists will tell juniors to "Shut up and calculate" (a phrase coined by David Mermin but falsely attributed to Richard Feynman) when they get confused trying to understand QM using analogical thinking. The basic idea being, "Do the maths and look at what it predicts/results in, and don't even bother trying to visualise it in terms humans can understand." As a result, it is not uncommon for physicists to talk in terms of "XYZ equation causes ABC behaviour" when in reality the behaviour came first and the maths came later. This is because, for humans, the maths came first and predicted ("resulted in") the behaviour. This is, of course, technically wrong, but in practice turns out to be a surprisingly useful thing, specifically in QM and Relativity. I'm not a physicist, so @Kaju_Nut please correct me if I'm wrong... cc: @Keshavatearth @finkrishna x.com/finkrishna/sta…

"The fact that a times b is not equal to b times a for matrices is the reason the uncertainty principle exists." This is a striking statement!! I'm surprised that I had never heard this before. I now expect to spend much time with ChatGPT to understand this.
Nirmalya Kajuri@Kaju_Nut

There will always be a permanent place in the world for matrix multiplication because it is the language of quantum mechanics itself. The fact that a times b is not equal to b times a for matrices is the reason the uncertainty principle exists.

How do Indians feel when they go back to live in India after living in US for 5+ years? 13 years ago, I wrote this long answer on Quora. I'm surprised that after all this time, almost all of it is still true: qr.ae/pCvbtF

No wonder there are a lot of similarities between how a developer and a lawyer think. Whether you are writing code or drafting an agreement, 90% of the code or agreement is protection against the 1% possibility of edge-case scenarios.
Navin Kabra@NGKabra

Can confirm. I was involved in a USD20+-million deal that almost collapsed due to an innocuous clause in an almost unrelated contract that someone signed without thinking. (All this happened in the US, BTW) Gave me a deep appreciation of what to look for in agreements Thread 🧵
