what you said seems to be fully contradicted in everything I have read on this. People have been trying to years to turn this off. there were a couple of hacks discovered but now those dont work either.
It seems to me that having a chip, the management unit, in all intel processors that sits above even a hypervisor and can read all memory, have it's own connection to the network, runs java code, and is software reprogrammable, is basically the wet dream of root kits. it's invisible to anything you run on the CPU but sees all and tells all.
If the universe is a simulation then one can speculate on the purpose of the simulation. A good bet, based on our own world, would be it's a role playing game. If so the "players" are presumably the Elites in the game. A logical conclusion for any non-player character, such as yourself would then be that your highest calling in life is to become a groupie. That role is the only role that has any meaning beyond window dressing.
So I've learned to live it. I run it on a mac. I suspect it's infected somehow. I've removed all the non-google extensions but still it seems like when I click on images I get pop-unders. SO I think something is editing my html on the fly.
Now it's sort of hard to tell if this is some virus I picked up that's now embedded in my instance of chrome or if this is just the normal behviour of a sucky broweser.
That is to say this doesn't happen in firefox or chrome because they are good at blocking this sort of crud. Chrome isn't. Chrome is also very CPU hungry. It hasically uses an 110% CPU on a quad core Rspberry pi3, and puts the load at 2, when it's doing absolutely nothing.
But the main reason to hate chrome is, like people say about cell phones, it's a tracking device that also lets you browse. Every time I use this thing all my ads are riveting accurately targeted. When I dump the HTML to see what's on the page, no matter how random a website I choose I always find my google e-mail address embedded in it. If I log out of google, in hopes of not being tracked, then dump pages I always find some family member or myself in the HTML.
it's hideous how it tracks you.
I don't have anywhere close to this unnerving tracking with Safari or Firefox.
While there is, I think some merit to studying in groups of colleagues and live interactions, the content of all college course taught by the best instructirs using a range of teach styles will all be online in 20 years. This will be the last generation to pay for college.
No you can have all of quantum mechinics in a classical world as long as you allow hidden variables. Bell's theorem just says there are no Local Hidden variable but it allows Global Hidden variables. Those are variables coupled outside the simulation.
All the uncertainty relationships in QM come from fourier conjugate variables. So for example, if you measure a low frequency for a short time you will be uncertain about the exact frequency. If you restrict a wave to a narrow slit then it take more direction forier terms to represent the truncated plane wave.
time and frequency are fourier conjugates. and plank's constant, which is constant, has the units that convert frequency to energy. This is why we say that time and energy are conjugates.
It's interesting that all the funny bits of quantum theory and relativity and light are infact identical to what you would expect to be the rules of any simulation.
For example, if you aren't looking at something in a video game it doesn't get rendered, ergo schrodingers cat like phenomena. The moon in fact is not there if you don't look at it.
Bells theorem rules out local hidden variables (that is variables that are in the game but are not coupled to you the observer) but it allows global hidden variables to explain all spooky action at a distance by means other that quantum entanglement. that is to say it's what should happen in any simulation in which you are part of the simulation too.
diffraction and the heisenberg uncertainy relationships come from discrete binning. For example, in a pixelated universe you can'e actually resolve angles of far away objects since they are pixelated. hence there's a direction-position uncertainty.
Likewise the more finely you allow a simulation to measure time the more finely you have to bin or divide the external clock requiring more energy.
The think about time is we have no idea how long it really takes to go one second in the simulation we all live inside of. It could be years on the wall clock in the simulators universe.
So now we have an AI trying to decide who is the human, the inverse of the turing test. What it comes down to then is it easier to create an AI that can pass the Turing test or the inverse turing test. If it's easier for a bot to fool a bot then this AI strategy will meet it's match in another AI. On the other hand if it's easier to do the inverse turing test then this new strategy will work. I'm not really sure if it's obvious which test is harder.
Consider those clocks that are powered just off air pressure fluctuations. The keep a regular Rhythm. The energy inputs are random not synchronized. But they gather energy from the fluctuations. You could say it's a maxwell's demon using a ratchet to capture the energy. And while such a ratchet can't work in equilibrium (see Feynman Lectures), it can work just fine when not in equilibrium.
Thus there doesn't seem to be anything remarkable here.
It's like how when the CIA discovers a Russian General has a secret to hide they never black mail him but immediately notify the Russian Authorities of their vulnerability.
With a hill the water is stored at the top and taken out through a turbine at the bottom. So you have to store water in two places, the top and the bottom. The water is exposed to sunlight so it will grow crap in it. And you battle evaporation. the whole apparatus will take miles of pipe. finally there's friction losses as the water moves down the miles of pipe. And there's the modest potential of flooding if you scale this up. It takes up useful and expensive mountain top land or destroys wilderness.
at the bottom of the lake, the pump just pumps the water out into the immediate vicinity. when it's time for water to go back in, it pumps water in from the immediate vicinity. no pipe, no losses.
with the end of net neutrality, the internet will become a set of bundled channels like cable. The only difference is going to be it's now asyncronous transmission.

you can't disable it. if it doesn't run it shuts the chip down in 30 minutes.
nope, it's in every core processor chipset.

I've always transposed UEFI to UFIA in my mind. now I know why

Perhaps this simulation is actually a tiny scale in the view of the simulators. Perhaps the real universe is a quadrillion times larger.

It's too popular.

this is the "usual" Time-Frequency uncertainty. Frequency relates to energy by the plank constant. hence there is a time-energy uncertainty.
