...when you have a conversation like this only two minutes after sex, still walking around in your underwear.
him: Hey, since you got that book on game theory, ..you know von Neumann?
her: Yeah
him: Well, interesting character, you know, well beside game thoery and the Manhattan project he also did some work on quantum mechanics computer architecture.
her: And?
him: It's a fascinating field....*looses thread of thought* oh yeah, well did you see the article in Spiegel Online about that experiment that supposedly proves that people can predict randomized events? It would dig a hole into the whole idea of causality.
her: Well, I very much doubt that.
him: That is very unscientific and closed minded of you. But they better have a shitload of evidence if they want to overthrow a paradigm like that. On the other hand, on a quantum level the whole thing changes *gets into details of quantum physics and the theory that time doesn't really exist while she decides to post this conversation on TypoC*
her: You mean like the very low propability that a golden apple will suddenly materialize before me?
him: Yeah, or that I could suddenly walk through a wall. Chances are though I'll just bang my head.
her: Hey, while we were at it I noticed the arrows in your flow chart look like dicks.
him: Those aren't arrows, they are circuits, those are signs for "and", "or", "exclusive or" etc.
her: Well, you draw pretty messy, but I recognize some of them now that you mention it.
him: *explains system behind the circuits on his white board*...and that is a carry look-ahead.
her: Hey, Carry Look Ahead would be a cool internet pseudonym!
him: *radiating smile* Yeah, cool. Anyway,*get's factual again* I noticed I actually prefer working on specific problems.
her: What? You? But you are allergic to the word "applied".
him: I know, there are two sorts of applied problems: the ones where you have to take something real and look for soem kind of approximation and the ones where you have a very specific problem (Input = A, Output = B, build the circuit), like microchips construction. The former I couldn't care less, the later I find really fascinating, as they are more like a puzzle.
her: Okay, now I'm definitely posting this conversation!
*they put some cloths on*
Edit: When you fact check your ex's post on a conversation and have it edited.
