- Comment on What is a good starting point for learning about quantum fields 5 months ago:
Nah, just the basics is fine. I would recommend Griffith’s and then moving on to Shankar.
- Comment on What is a good starting point for learning about quantum fields 5 months ago:
It’s also really important to remember that QM is really a formalized algebra of probability/stats, so it’s really really important to get a good grasp of that.
- Comment on What is a good starting point for learning about quantum fields 5 months ago:
I’d really recommend going through the basics about learning QM. Specifically: classical mechanics, a very good stats & probability math course, calc prereqs, intro to QM, maybe an atomic course, intro chem course. I’m not sure of the exact steps, but as a physics undergrad major, it’ll “click” after a certain amount of prereqs and if you need any help, feel free to PM me and I’ll gladly be of assistance (as far as I can remember, at least).

- Comment on Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day? 5 months ago:
I’d argue it depends on who is serving it and what their intentions are. I don’t think it’s necessarily bad. I went to a local Juneteenth celebration and the food stands were serving some fried chicken, collard greens, jollof rice, etc.

- Comment on Wtf did I just read 7 months ago:
What helped me understand QM was spending four years getting a degree in physics then never using it again.

- Comment on How did OS worked for early "Smart" devices 8 months ago:
You could write C or assembly and it would be compiled to something that would run on an embedded chip. They may or may not be running an RTOS.

This video inspired me to try out the sensor reheat setting on my microwave today and it worked pretty well at reheating chili!

Personally, 1-2x/month.

- Comment on Is there any way to reverse degrowth of the niche communities on Lemmy? 1 year ago:
I think there’s an update with that but I’m not entirely sure.
- Comment on Is there any way to reverse degrowth of the niche communities on Lemmy? 1 year ago:
Here’s some things Lemmy could potentially implement:
- a default sort that favors smaller communities
- better onboarding for users that guides them into discovering new communities
- giving recommendations to other similar communities
With that being said, I don’t think the current Lemmy devs would prioritize any of these.

It was just a dock, so not terribly expensive but expensive enough to hurt if it got lost.

- Comment on Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore? 1 year ago:
In college, I used to drink Starbucks’ Via. That instant coffee hits different.
Nowadays, I make either an espresso or a pour over. But I still crave Vias sometimes.
- Comment on Do Multivitamins actually do anything? 1 year ago:
My sister, who did her master’s in nutrition or some related field, says multivitamins are a waste of money. She suggests getting bloodwork and seeing if you’re deficient in anything. And if you’re deficient, it’s better to change your diet than buy multivitamins (if possible).
With that being said, I still take a multivitamin…
