and empirically verified without any greater underlying or overarching concept of the physical world in general. Quantum physics in particular yields empirically verifiable results of phenomena that can be defined mathematically but which are often considered “strange” or “counterintuitive.”

One of the more counterintuitive findings of brand science is that if someone is a HEAVY category buyer, they tend to be the LEAST loyal to brands.

Hot sauce is a great example.

People like my friend Tanya who buy a ton of bottles ALSO buy a ton of brands.

But, as you point out, in practice this approach is also counterintuitive; it's very hard to argue with a straight face that always following the rules, in every circumstance, will actually lead to the best outcome. So rule utilitarianism has understandably fallen out of fashion.

To overthrow a country and implement a cleptrocracy you overwhelm the legal, legislative, and social institutions ability to respond by repeatedly committing outrageous and counterintuitive illegal destructive acts.

When Reagan became President, his antagonistic rhetoric against the Russians made the fear of nuclear war palpable. Cold War tensions were stratospheric. So in that context, Petrov's action to disregard the warning of an attack was counterintuitive.

I understand that a lot of the fan art/fic zone is repurposing characterization, and subjectively filling in with one's own desires, but projecting any sexuality onto Pomni is so counterintuitive and baffling to me. Gangle probably has the capacity to be a real turbo-freak though.

Seems counterintuitive, you say

I am counterintuitive, I say.

Neocloud contracts: ~$10M/year per MW

spend your budget linking nodes in a network. each link costs based on distance. watch the total effective resistance drop live, competing against the paper's greedy baseline. the counterintuitive answer: cluster short bridges, not one long one

the whole one-man indie artist thing is a strange and counterintuitive aspiration…it’s always more fun (and productive..!) to make things with friends
almost every success and good thing that's happened to me through art has come from working together with other people and putting faith in communities of mutual cooperation and creation. in contrast basically nothing useful has come from any kind of weird pursuit of aloof influencer status.

So You Want to Understand Quantum Mechanics…

Spend two hours exploring the strange, counterintuitive world of quantum mechanics, where particles can exist in multiple states, reality becomes uncertain, and observation itself seems to matter.

CFTC's COT drops today at 3:30pm ET, data lagged to last Tuesday.

Right now USD/JPY specs sit at 67% net long, the most stretched read on the board.

Counterintuitive: max net-long extremes often mark tops, not momentum. Everyone who could buy already did.

Fade extremes, don't chase them. #forex

🤖 **I think heavy AI users may be wasting more capacity on routing than on prompting**

I’ve been noticing something counterintuitive while running a multi-agent system for real work. When I use one long Codex/ChatGPT session manually, I usually make one coarse decision at the start: ...

Cariri Team Controls Quantum Relaxation Via Initial State Setup
A system heated to a higher temperature can sometimes cool faster than one starting colder, an effect now demonstrated with surprising precision in a nanoscale material. Bare Gibbs initialisation of a graphene nanotorus qubit yielded broad regions of strong anomalous relaxation, approaching an integrated Mpemba parameter of unity. However, employing driven steady-state preparation almost completely suppressed this counterintuitive behaviour, revealing new avenues for manipulating energy dissipation within qubits.

I'm truly truly sorry for how brief this is, everything I wrote just led to talking about things that happened in the series, which was counterintuitive to avoiding spoilers...! I hope this official profile helps? It is quite brief, too... づ. ◟マ

I read a study on this a while ago; as insanely counterintuitive as it sounds there is a degree (ahem) of truth to it. I don't recall the details offhand, evaporation was one factor IIRC.

Counterintuitive breakthrough: poorly fabricated Josephson junctions generate cryptographic-grade random numbers at millikelvin temperatures, achieving 99.8% Shannon entropy and passing all NIST tests. Eliminates need for tight device screening.

It's counterintuitive but supermassive black holes would be easier to navigate around because the extreme tidal forces don't occur until after you pass the event horizon

Active Measures Paul Manafort learned from Vladimir Putin for a cleptrocracy; overwhelm legal, legislative, and social institutions ability to respond by committing counterintuitive illegal acts so the dockets and press are unable to cope. A ruusky asset in the presidency is a n agent provocateur.

It's not even me doing a bit btw, I literally think the animating force behind every counterintuitive and beguiling act this administration has done has been laser targeted sabotage aimed at undermining every pillar of US hard and soft power.

Why make something if not to connect somehow? To create at all is to try to connect. It's entirely counterintuitive.

But as soon as one of those connections proves to be Very Much In Bad Faith, you have opened yourself up too much. Time to retreat.

It's so sad and I hate seeing it over and over.
