It is absolutely still extremely mysterious.
- Comment on Let's stick with just the one observer from now on, then 1 week ago:
Yeah, but you have to define “observation”.
- Comment on Let's stick with just the one observer from now on, then 1 week ago:
Right, but you have to define what “observation” means when you’re talking about things that small.
- Comment on Let's stick with just the one observer from now on, then 1 week ago:
Interacting in this context meaning physically manipulating the particle.
So things like the quantum eraser experiment are a good example. If you entangle the original particle with another particle, and you are able to measure that other particle (even if you don’t actually do so) the waveform collapses and no interference pattern occurs.
Basically, the mere existence of information about the path the original particle takes is enough to collapse the wave function.
None of which is remotely intuitive and hurts a little bit to think about.
- Comment on Let's stick with just the one observer from now on, then 1 week ago:
True – its definitely a lot more complicated than that, and there are ways to “observe” without interacting, which still manage to collapse the superposition.
- Comment on Let's stick with just the one observer from now on, then 1 week ago:
So the thing is, “observe” here means that you want to look at an electron to see which path it’s taking. How do you “observe” it? By hurling a photon at it, at light speed, it smashes into the electron, changing its course, and then back to you.
Once you define what’s actually happening, it becomes a lot less mysterious why “observation” changes the results.

- Comment on Is it insane to run a home server on an old laptop instead of a Raspberry Pi for self-hosting - what do I need to worry about? 5 weeks ago:
Not only not insane, but actually a great idea, for all the reasons you mentioned, but also because it’ll be x86 where the Pi is ARM, so software compatibility will be that much better.

And even then there’s some nice QOL features like capacitive strips on the grips.

I personally think the Deck is very comfortable given its bulk. I have a lot of faith in the controller ergonomics.
