[AI summary] The user is discussing Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, specifically the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm, applied to sampling from a distribution defined by a matrix $ A $. The focus is on the acceptance probability when transitioning between subsets $ S $ and $ S' $ of size $ k $, where the acceptance probability is determined by the ratio of determinants of submatrices of $ A $. The user is also exploring the computational complexity of these methods and their application to problems involving large matrices.

We outline a computationalist interpretation of quantum mechanics, using the framework of infra-Bayesian physicalism. Some epistemic and normative aspects of this interpretation are illuminated by a number of examples and theorems. Infra-Bayesian physicalism was introduced as a framework to investigate the relationship between a belief about a joint computational-physical universe and a corresponding belief about which computations are realized in the physical world, in the context of "infra-beliefs". Although the framework is still somewhat tentative and the definitions are not set in stone, it is interesting to explore applications in the case of quantum mechanics.

Normally, the macOS Terminal.app title bar includes the current directory name. When you connect to a remote host with openssh on macOS, the title bar gets updated to be "$(whoami)@$(hostname): $(pwd)" instead. Unfortunately when you exit ssh, the terminal title bar is not restored and continues to say you are on a remote host. Once...
