They sent one of the rare spams Ciro actually was interested in!!! Likely going down lists of top Stack Overflow users.

They have some kind of cryptocurrency, TCHME token, as a reward. Ciro wonders if the value of TCHME will ever be high enough to serve as a valid incentive.

Also, what is the total TCHME supply? Can the website devs issue as much as they want? They do giveaways e.g. as shown at: twitter.com/TeachMeAsap/status/1621353671840899072

And a centralized system with a certralized marketplace would work just as well for the initial phases. But fair play, the idea is interesting.

Communicating at a distance, from Greek "tele" for distance!

A very cool thing about telecommunication is, besides how incredibly fast it advanced (in this sense it is no cooler than integrated circuit development), how much physics and information theory is involved in it. Applications of telecommunication implementation spill over to other fields, e.g. some proposed quantum computing approaches are remarkably related to telecommunication technology, e.g. microwaves and silicon photonics.

This understanding made Ciro Santilli wish he had opted for telecommunication engineering when he was back in school in Brazil. For some incomprehensible reason, telecommunications was the least competitive specialization in the electric engineering department at the time, behind even power electronics. This goes to show both how completely unrelated to reality university is, and how completely outdated Brazil is/was. Sad stuff.

Matías Zaldarriaga is a physicist known for his work in cosmology, especially in the fields related to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and large-scale structure in the universe. He has contributed to understanding the early universe, inflationary models, and the formation of large-scale structures.

Way, way before instant messaging, there was... teletype!

The best way to watch a television series is: wait for the thing to end. Then watch the first and last episodes of each season. The rest is fluff. And then pick up any missing interesting clips from YouTube. If a series holds you more than those episodes, it is one of the few amazing ones!

Michał Heller is a prominent Polish philosopher, theologian, and cosmologist known for his work at the intersection of science and religion. He was born on July 22, 1936, in Poland and has made significant contributions to the philosophy of science, particularly in relation to the cosmological implications of modern physics. Heller is known for exploring the implications of modern cosmological theories on philosophical and theological questions, such as the nature of the universe and the existence of God.

Cryptographic software refers to applications and tools that implement algorithms and protocols to secure data through encryption, decryption, hashing, and digital signatures. This type of software is designed to protect information and ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data while it is in storage or transit. Key functions and components of cryptographic software include: 1. **Encryption**: Transforming plaintext into ciphertext using algorithms (such as AES, RSA, etc.

We are all somewhere in the spectrum.

CP/M, which stands for Control Program for Microcomputers, is an operating system developed in the 1970s by Gary Kildall of Digital Research, Inc. It was widely used on early microcomputers and played a significant role in the software ecosystem of that era. CP/M files are files created and managed in the CP/M operating system environment. They typically include: 1. **Executable Files**: These are binary files (with extensions like `.COM` or `.

This is a good place to start your journey, though it misses a lot, and some songs are not as memorable as others, there is huge variability in that list.

Version of TensorFlow with a Cirq backend that can run in either quantum computers or classical computer simulations, with the goal of potentially speeding up deep learning applications on a quantum computer some day.

CP/M, which stands for Control Program for Microcomputers, is an early operating system created by Gary Kildall in the mid-1970s. It was one of the first operating systems to offer a consistent interface across different microcomputer manufacturers, making it easier for software developers to create applications that could run on multiple systems.

CP/M (Control Program for Microcomputers) is an operating system that was widely used in the late 1970s and early 1980s for microcomputers. Developed by Gary Kildall of Digital Research, CP/M was notable for being one of the first operating systems to become widely adopted in the personal computer market before the rise of MS-DOS and later Windows. CP/M software refers to a range of applications developed to run on the CP/M operating system.

If we didn't have GUIs, terminal multiplexers would be our desktop environments. E.g. they handle stuff like:It is a thing of beauty.

CP/M, which stands for Control Program for Microcomputers, is an operating system that was widely used in the late 1970s and early 1980s for early microcomputers. Developed by Gary Kildall of Digital Research, CP/M served as a platform that enabled the execution of software applications on microcomputers based on Intel architecture, particularly those using the 8080 and Z80 processors.

Each term has 8 weeks, and the week number is often used to denote the time at which something happens.

Week 0 is also often used to denote the week before classes officially start. This is especially important in the first term of the year (Michaelmas term) where people are coming back to school and meeting old and new friends.

At the end of the year, after Trinity term, students have exams. These basically account for all of the grades. In certain courses such as the Physics course of the University of Oxford, there is only new material on Michaelmas term and Hilary term, Trinity term being revision-only. So you can imagine that during Trinity term, students are going to be on edge.

This example covered for example at Video 1. "Term Symbols Example 1 by TMP Chem (2015)".

Carbon has electronic structure 1s2 2s2 2p2.

For term symbols we only care about unfilled layers, because in every filled layer the total z angular momentum is 0, as one electron necessarily cancels out each other:

So in this case, we only care about the 2 electrons in 2p2. Let's list out all possible ways in which the 2p2 electrons can be.

There are 3 p orbitals, with three different magnetic quantum numbers, each representing a different possible z quantum angular momentum.

We are going to distribute 2 electrons with 2 different spins across them. All the possible distributions that don't violate the Pauli exclusion principle are:

m_l  +1  0 -1  m_L  m_S
     u_ u_ __    1    1
     u_ __ u_    0    1
     __ u_ u_   -1    1
     d_ d_ __    1   -1
     d_ __ d_    0   -1
     __ d_ d_   -1   -1
     u_ d_ __    1    0
     d_ u_ __    1    0
     u_ __ d_    0    0
     d_ __ u_    0    0
     __ u_ d_   -1    0
     __ d_ u_   -1    0
     ud __ __    2    0
     __ ud __    0    0
     __ __ ud   -2    0

where:

For example, on the first line:we have:and so the sum of them has angular momentum $0+1\hslash =1\hslash$. So the value of $m_L$ is 1, we just omit the $\hslash$.

TODO now I don't understand the logic behind the next steps... I understand how to mechanically do them, but what do they mean? Can you determine the term symbol for individual microstates at all? Or do you have to group them to get the answer? Since there are multiple choices in some steps, it appears that you can't assign a specific term symbol to an individual microstate. And it has something to do with the Slater determinant. The previous lecture mentions it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_8n1TS-8Y0 more precisely youtu.be/7_8n1TS-8Y0?t=2268 about carbon.

youtu.be/DAgEmLWpYjs?t=2675 mentions that ${}^{3}D$ is not allowed because it would imply $L=2,S=1$, which would be a state uu __ __ which violates the Pauli exclusion principle, and so was not listed on our list of 15 states.

He then goes for ${}^{1}D$ and mentions:and so that corresponds to states on our list:Note that for some we had a two choices, so we just pick any one of them and tick them off off from the table, which now looks like:

Then for ${}^{3}P$ the choices are:so we have 9 possibilities for both together. We again verify that 9 such states are left matching those criteria, and tick them off, and so on.

For the $m_S$, we have two electrons with spin up. The angular momentum of each electron is $1/2\hslash$, and so given that we have two, the total is $1\hslash$, so again we omit $\hslash$ and $m_S$ is 1.
