@Mason_Wheeler How have I not seen this before? He has a whole bunch of tech parodies. Thank you so much for sharing.

More proof that women are undecipherable.

@Mason_Wheeler I'm pretty sure that's , but it's been a long time, so have an anyway.

Women are minimized JS?

@boomzilla I'm not drunk enough to comprehend this, sorry.

@Tsaukpaetra the beer must flow.

@Tsaukpaetra fear is the little mind killer.

@Mason_Wheeler if he used SQL then he'd be SQL Clause...
I may have mentioned this before, but someone I worked with years ago made a silly geek joke for his Halloween costume. He had a wolfman head with a Santa hat:
Where clause

It's not about druk, it's about having read/seen the scene it references. It's a famous enough scene (and name) that it should be easy to look up.

Thank you! I will use this new context for attempting clarification.
Searching....
I have located a resource at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbTp1vlRqYA
I see now that this is a parody of the device depicted in the scene. I believe the joke is in relation to the allusion that a family game that involves death and torture is exciting and suitable to play.
Thank you for providing the hint!

@Tsaukpaetra Never go full ChatGPT

@Applied-Mediocrity Goddamn it's about time someone noticed lol.

Editors note: There is bad whitespace here, only the tru nerdz will know how to correct it so it functions.
-
@Tsaukpaetra I think a semicolon after the ampersand works too? Not certain and obviously not going to try.

@Tsaukpaetra Exit vi?

@Tsaukpaetra Exit vi?
No, it's a fork bomb, which may tangentially exit vi on accident, but isn't the main apparent function thereof.
-
@Tsaukpaetra I don't think it will exit vi, but it is very likely to prevent you from entering it.
For mac users, may also work on xcode.

Transcoded from the source tweet because screw Xitter.

@Zecc worth it for the punchline.
-
@Zecc Judging from the books in the background, does missing the default font cause mirrored printouts?

@boomzilla I do wonder if ever there was more experimentation done. Like, what if there are two observers? Does partial observance proportionally affect the apparent spread?

Like, what if there are two observers?
The “observer” really means a detector in the slit, so that doesn't really make sense.
Does partial observance proportionally affect the apparent spread?
My understanding is that yes. Where “partial observance” means there is a detector that only detects the particle with some non-trivial probability.

a detector in the slit
What the fuck that means, I am too to know...
I've always seen it depicted like there was some sort of camera focused on it from afar, I'm assuming this must not be the case at all and something much simpler was used...
-
@Tsaukpaetra said in The nerdy jokes thread (bonus original title mode!):
much simpler
You mean something much more complicated, don't you.
The experiment is carried out with electrons, so they can be detected by their electric charge, but I don't really know what the detector actually is.
By the way, not that the slit and the detector are also made from elementary particles, quintillions of them, that all have quantum properties. Many are even also electrons just like the one passing through.

t I don't really know what the detector actually is.
Right. It seems nobody really explains what that is, or why (apparently) introducing an aligning field is the only way to "detect" things.

Detection is interaction; there is no way to detect anything without interacting with it. Interaction that feeds information out, but still interaction.
The theory I like most about all this is that the reason detectors do that is because we don't know the exact quantum state of the detectors (though it is usually "large"), so we end up entangling a large indeterminate state with the quantum object being studied, with it being little wonder that this causes something that looks like "decoherence"; the profile of quantum information that remains is believed (the article I was reading about this a few weeks ago said that proving this was what the researchers were currently working on) to look exactly like classical objects...
