> You briefly wonder how she managed to procure wine from over 2000 years ago before recalling that the wine cellar was built deep inside of a hypothetical scenario.

Lol

Yeah, imagine if hypothetical scenarios didn't exist…then what?

How about this (choices are random): 1) Choose two bottles and one device 2) Measure the two. If they're the same, choose another device, if they're different, choose another bottle When bottles appear identical, make more measurements with different detectors on them (there's no way around doing that) When a device has accumulated n/2 0 or 1 measurements, the remainder are the opposite number (call this column constraint as per your table) When selecting the next detector, prefer the one that is closest to meeting the column constraint (otherwise choose randomly)

Sorry about the poor formatting of the algorithm but I'm typing on my phone and don't want to submit something AI generated

I was trying to figure out the runtime of this…it captures your best case scenario, and I think the worst as well, but what about the average?

Apple should learn some UX lessons from this

Hopefully the dummies were from the board of directors

I love bio-inspired stuff, but can we (collectively) temper our usage of it? A better name for this would probably be something like distributed storage and computing architecture (or someone who really understands what this thing is please come up with a better name). If they want to say that part of the architecture is bio-inspired, or mammalian brain inspired, than fine, but let's be parsimonious

Personally, my issue is alarms rather than ringing. Silent mode doesn't silence the alarms, and I forget to check them. It would be great if this would silence alarms

Maybe you could do what banks do and use silent alarms?

I'd rather use a pencil and paper than be stuck using one of apple's operating systems
