Personnel
gollark: "Interesting" and highly cursed: Google appear to have implemented some sort of horrible BASIC-y language encoded in YAML for "cloud workflows": https://cloud.google.com/workflows/docs/reference/syntax
gollark: I don't really know about the details at all, but I think the way it works is that when you observe one end, it collapses into one of two random states, and the other one collapses into the other. Or something vaguely like that.
gollark: It doesn't allow FTL communications.
gollark: Faster than light communication would break causality though, which is bad.
gollark: There's no real way to know if it could be made since there aren't really very detailed theories of operation for them.
