Papers suggesting faster-than-light communication aren't possible seem to imply that sending information backwards in time is impossible, but may be mistaken.

All they really say is we can't communicate outside our OWN lightcone.

Everything thats happened on earth, or within the light cone of earth would be communicable.

All it really states is we can't obtain information beyond whats already casually linked to our light cone.

In other words you likely couldn't send information back in time more than a year.

If you'd need a photon-travel distance of about the distance of the earth to the moon (238,900 miles) for one second of look back, and the hypothetical maximum is a light year (5.879 trillion miles), then the maximum look back (how far ahead you could receive data from the future) would be 284.82 days.

I'd think a beam splitter that doubles as an optical ring resonator to maximize photon travel would be the key.

The third option is that DCQE is a flawed experiment, and no one has figured out how yet.

Lot of scientists have examined it though and said its legit but doesn't make any sense according to our understanding of the way things work.

"""

"Which-path" information:

By measuring the entangled partner in a specific way, the experiment can effectively "erase" the information about which slit the original photon went through, allowing it to exhibit interference behavior.

No actual time travel:

While it may seem like the measurement is influencing the past, it's crucial to understand that the interference pattern is only revealed when analyzing the data; the individual photon's behavior is determined at the moment it passes through the slits, and the later measurement simply determines how the data is interpreted

"""

The DCQE can only be true under two possible conditions:

Either spooky-action-at-a-distance isn't true, or retrocasuality is true.

Because we have strong evidence to support the fact that entanglement is real, and suggesting it isn't negates a lot of other things that have hard evidence, it is likely that retrocasuality is true under certain conditions.

I'll agree to get wealthy enough to become your sponsor, if you agree to be the mad-scientist partner of the adventure.

It shouldn't work but it does.

So what we'll need:

Enough money to hire people with clout and networks.

Enough clout and networking to snag people really good at practical physics engineering at the edge (or beyond the egde) of theoretical work.

We'll need to build or acquire a company that refines and builds really high purity mirrors, and/or engineer non-conventional optics.

Experts in miniturization (we don't want our time machine being the size of the pentagon).

Minutes of foresight would be enough to change the world, not hours.

I choose to believe the premise, because even though it is absurd, it is crazy fun to believe it is true.

@Lensflare "delayed-choice quantum eraser"

Heard that phrase before, totally unfamiliar though.

Clue me in.

@BordedDev This is exactly what I do, try to recreate the dataflow.

On the plus side the rewrites are usually simple than the previous ones.

A lot of reinventing the wheel on your end too?

And then only to discover some wrote a standard library for that?

People who manually decompile and can grok decompiled code are a breed all their own.

Tried, never could comprehend how they could understand any of it.

Assembly and code assembled to executable, sure, but auto-generated higher level code that comes from a decompiler, without comments or documentation? It's a rare skill to be able to read that.

Come to think of it, maths kinda like that.

@D-4got10-01 accurate. But change the second panel to a guy falling asleep in his chair, out cold,

and the third panel should be him coming to in an unfamiliar place, apparently having been fully engaged in some activity or other.

Come to think of it I should probably get tested for narcolepsy.

@retoor remembering the line number of individual code? Thats either a super power and/or a touch of the tism.

Should I be jealous?

@jestdotty whats worse is when you're better in the sleep-deprived mode.

As long as you also have time to mentally decompile the previous work.

It's like zen or some shit.

@Demolishun Sleep-deprivation (if you can push past the desire to sleep sapping you of all will) mimics the effect of being drunk.

The redbull gets me there.

I just had a binge eight our session of math though thanks. Working on closed form logarithmic solutions to RSA, or at least approximations thereof.

troll level = expert

@Lensflare let me know when you invent a time machine in your garage.

I want to join you to engage in time hi-jinx.

We'll go on wacky adventures together and discover the power of friendship or some shit like that.

Bonus points if its built into a telephone booth or a delorean.

@retoor your own bootleg version of jarvis.

I dig it.

If ol' albert demonstrated that relativity means theres no origin coordinate in space, then it may well be true in time as well.

But none of us here are physicists so we're all talking out our ass anyway.

@antigermanist the stereotyped family profession of stealing everything not nailed down also might put a damper on things.

Unless you enjoy theft.

Then you can be like bonnie and clyde, and die all romantic and heroic-like together.

Or probably just get arrested and separated by the deportation stormtroopers.

@antigermanist and then use your disembodied penis to put a curse on you!

@Hazarth I like to think of him as a distant hands-off sort of god.

You're the leader, and they resent that your way works but will never admit it.

T, your copy-cat in a nutshell.

Linkedin is a meme-copy of facebook.

No one real uses it.

@scor the lead chips on houses built before 1955 taste the best.

@retoor how do you know I'm not a bot?

You don't. But if you can't tell the difference, does it really matter?

Consciousness, to say nothing of sentience, is likely a private affair, a quality that is not detectable (least of all CONFIRMABLE) from the outside except by aproximate APPARENT antecedents.

I used to read Jeff Hawkins, like, a fucking lot. Years prior to the existing LLM research and craze. A lot of the takeaways and hypothesis I took as follow-ons from his work, predicted everything developed so far, and then some.

There was a time I wanted to hook a brain-scanner of one variety or another to myself, and use reactions and brainscans, along with data from my writing and various modal outputs (text, speech, behavior) to create a replica, perhaps the peak of narcissism.

In 3-5 years it'll be possible, with the right data, to do just that. Won't be the person so copied, but I think just chatting with them online, you won't be able to tell the difference.

ymmv.

@figoore I achieved the theoretical limit on mnist (because there are actually errors in the data set), and broke out of a horrible funk.

Also been experimenting with a trading strategy that I had working on MUH STAWKS before getting hammered with day-trader restrictions.

Turns out it works on currency trading and crypto.

Oh, no, I'm morphing into a crypto-bro! Quick get the fucking serum!

So I'll either as broke as I am now, or retired in a year at the current rate. Still living paycheck-to-paycheck till the investments pick up steam, but it does appear to work.

2025 might be my year, and it looks like it'll be your year too!

God damn this was a pick-me-up if ever I've seen one.

I've been gone a hot minute. I'm sad to not have seen this sooner!

Your life really has been a rollercoaster figoore! Mine too, but damn.

So to come from that and see you here, doing as good as you are, and riding that success, makes me incredibly happy to read.

Keep on doing you figoore!

@tosensei brutal.

synopsis: coding as hobby for avoidant personalities.

@retoor Baby comes starfished, whizzing through the air like a ninja star, and breaks the doctors jaw.

And in a singular instant, the universe had reincarnated bruce lee.

Beautiful. Just beautiful. These are the sort of stories I still come to devrant for.

Warm blankets are great but a cold pillow is better.

@retoor I prefer to whip rather than be whipped but tomato tamato.
