The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

I love how incredibly predictable this was. Over the last 4 years I’ve updated to place more value on genuine protections for free speech while having ever less respect for the people who claim to make free speech their whole thing.
Campus disinvitations are fascism but the government singling out a legal immigrant he doesn't like and unlawfully deporting him is just the free marketplace of ideas

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are all good things. They don’t happen automatically, we have to actively work to bring them about. Shout it from the rooftops.

Happy New Year! I’m looking for a postdoc to join our new lab at UC Berkeley starting in summer 2025 (flexible). We are building Hybrid quantum systems based on neutral atoms platform with nanophotonics and superconducting circuits. ⚛️⚡️❄️ suleymanzadelab.com
