Open source driver/hardware interface specification??? E.g. on Ubuntu, a large part of the nastiest UI breaking bugs Ciro Santilli encountered over the years have been GPU related. Do you think that is a coincidence??? E.g. ubuntu 21.10 does not wake up from suspend.

Ciro Santilli has always had a good impression of these people.

This company is a bit like Sun Microsystems, you can hear a note of awe in the voice of those who knew it at its peak. This was a bit before Ciro Santilli's awakening.

Those people created OpenGL for God's sake! Venerable.

Both of them and Sun kind of died in the same way, unable to move from the workstation to the personal computer fast enough, and just got killed by the scale of competitors who did, notably Nvidia for graphics cards.

Some/all Nintendo 64 games were developed on it, e.g. it is well known that this was the case for Super Mario 64.

Also they were a big UNIX vendor, which is another kudos to the company.

Inferior compared to self-directed learning, but better than the traditional "everyone gets the same" approach.

Basically the opposite of security through obscurity, though slightly more focused on cryptography.

Huge respect to this companies.

TODO: use the results from the quantum harmonic oscillator solution to precisely illustrate the discussion at Schrödinger picture with a concrete example.

Similar to quantum jump in the Bohr model, but for the Schrödinger equation.

The idea the the wave function of a small observed system collapses "obviously" cannot be the full physical truth, only a very useful approximation of reality.

Because then are are hard pressed to determine the boundary between what collapses and what doesn't, and there isn't such a boundary, as everything is interacting, including the observer.

The many-worlds interpretation is an elegant explanation for this. Though it does feel a bit sad and superfluous.
