Compared to recent controversial results claiming the exact same thing (actually, more restrictive than this claim), it's not insulting it is what you should expect. The recent situation with Dias this year[1] is now under investigation as a case of data fabrication and he didn't even claim to have ambient pressure.

Frankly there are too many details missing to trust them. They've fabricated a thin film but not characterized it. It is well known that the properties of a material change when you go from bulk to thin film with a big dependence on the thickness. They don't mention how the resistance of this thin film is measured - that's important for what artifacts you might expect to see in your measurements (van der Pauw vs Hall bar measurements are the standard but they don't mention using either). Without characterizing the thin film it's also difficult to know, chemically and structurally, what you are measuring. I don't see any data confirming the quality of the thin film. The way the data is presented is such that it can be misleading, showing I-V curves instead of resistance when you are really trying to say the resistance is what is changing. The first paper doesn't even mention the insulator-metal transition that is present in the second paper which is bizarre - this is important if you are also claiming a superconductor transition close by and you would expect some discussion of this behaviour.

All of these are things that, one would hope, will be picked up by the reviewers as low hanging fruit before even really delving into the detail of the theory they present.

Decades of experience alone should not be trusted. Anyone can make a mistake, and not all the authors can be present for every experiment.

We're building a bicycle product involving loadcells, and one of the issues with them is that strain gauges typically have pretty low resistance. As we need readings at a relatively high sample rate (measuring pedalling dynamics) it's a lot of fun waking up loadcells, getting the sigma delta ADCS to get nicely-settled 24-bit results across multiple channels and synchronising the whole thing across 4 separate sensor nodes. Basically we have to pedaL and chew minimal joules at the same time.

Latest hardware has coulomb counters to keep track of charge state; you probably already know it but the nPM1100 has some good press.

In New Zealand, a row of poplars or a large Monterey cypress or two on a river flat is often all that's left of an old farm homestead or goldrush settlement, so for antique bottle collectors, they're a good indicator of where to start looking for Ye Olde Rubbish Pit.
It's more that we are so absurdly petty, pathetic, and entitled that we refuse a tiny, minuscule amount of pain for the greater good. Maybe back in 2010 the difference in speed between the browsers mattered but I've used Firefox since version two and as long as you had an ad blocker the speed was NEVER an issue.

Google's attempt to introduce zero-click results has been nothing short of catastrophic. The sheer volume of bullshit they are spreading rivals anything that ChatGPT could ever hope to generate.

A couple of weeks ago, I was debating with someone about what "LMR" stood for in the context of cable specifications, such as LMR-240, LMR-400 and so on. I thought it meant "Land Mobile Radio" while the other person disagreed that it stood for anything. A Google search on LMR coax cable acronym returned a helpful info blurb stating that LMR stood for "Last Minute Resistance" as a means of fending off sexual assault.

Needless to say there was no way to tell exactly what site Google had copied that definition from, and no useful way to provide feedback to them. Sometimes there's a "Feedback" link, this time there wasn't. Sometimes the feedback link is present but only offers the option of reporting illegal activity. That option wasn't present either.

For whatever reason, Google clearly does not give a flying fuck at a rolling donut about search quality anymore. With the right leadership, Bing could own that entire line of business, in a manner reminiscent of IE's original dominance over Netscape. I'm not holding my breath, but at this point I'm cheering for anyone who can offer Google some competition.
Yeah, the story isn't one of those "THIS IS SO UNFAAAAAAIR" things. It's just a description of what happened.

Depending on the costs, 600,000 euros a month is pretty good even if it doesn't last forever.

Nice project indeed. Just 1 nitpick - all vintage parts, and then a PIC uC just to generate a clock & reset? Grr.. ;-)

> And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why we validate our Supply Chain :-)

I've got a nice collection of vintage chips, and they're going nowhere. One reason being that with few exceptions, I know what type of equipment they were pulled (or hand-unsoldered) from. Mostly done by myself. Or that I have seen them in action, as in: tested, known good. Or have gear to test 'm in.

~15y ago it was relatively safe to order vintage parts online. These days, it's a crapshoot. You might get relabeled parts (different speed grades, NMOS vs. CMOS etc), parts where function of vintage IC is programmed into a gate array & packaged in original-looking housing (that may work but differ subtly from original part), random IC with markings changed that has no relation to what markings say (so it won't work & may even cause damage elsewhere when powered up), just housing + pins but no IC inside, etc etc. Anything is possible these days.

There are some nice YouTube video's diving down the "fake IC" rabbit hole.

Thing is, in many cases I wouldn't even mind buying a 'recreated' part as long as it's a functional replacement, and seller is honest about what's being sold. Or say, a slower speed grade if that fits requirements.

But it appears almost uniquely Chinese approach to just LIE about what's being sold. For example: the bulk of Z80's on eBay the 20 MHz version for like €1..2/pop, even though original part costs 10x that (yeah Z80's are still sold new !) and (cheap) pulled / "New Old Stock" parts will be 4..6 MHz parts with few exceptions? Yeah, right.

Vintage or relabeled, "who cares, it works?" seems the attitude. It's that lying I hate, not the less-desirable-IC in some subjective way. Sell whatever you want just be honest about what's in the box & how it was obtained.

That said I don't think moving 30 grams of Heroin is 'just sharing'. In Singapore, this kind of crime is the absolute worst of the worst, similar to and in some cases punished worse than murder.

Just important to think of how relatively serious these crimes are in other places. It's not like the US or Europe.

Distinct socket types for monitoring vs receiving/sending.
None of that is contradictory. To paraphrase:

- We have on the order of a million lines of search code at this point and have a lot of talented people working them. That code does a myriad of things across many indexes.

- As an example, mobile searches are the largest category of searches, and local searches are the largest category of searches within mobile. We don't get any local search module content from Bing.

- Similarly, on desktop, knowledge graph / Wikipedia-type answers come up the most and we don't get any of that module content from Bing either.

- Bing is our largest source of traditional web links, which have become less and less relevant/engaged with over time as more and more modules are in search results and put on top of traditional links (and people interact with things on top of the search results page about two orders of magnitude vs. things on the bottom).

- When Bing has dropped things out of the traditional web index, we have put them back, and we've been working with them so this happens less and less. In fact, there hasn't been hardly any reports of this in the past month or so, which is why I've asked for other examples in the comments.

I wasted a couple hours dealing with the fact that my carrier wants an ICCID to activate an eSIM, but iPhone eSIMs don’t have (or at least don’t show) an ICCID until after activation.

Sergey Brin and Larry Page: Google (made near-infinite knowledge reachable), Chrome/Chromium, GMail, YouTube, Android (powers billions of handsets), Google Maps …

If you credit Musk directly for all the aforementioned things, why not them? And yes, Google bought some of those properties, but so did Musk. What’s the difference? Marketing?

(I don’t actually think Larry and Sergey “most benefitted humanity” or deserve a bunch of humanitarian awards, but I’m curious why they’re not credited with Google’s achievements in the way Musk is with his companies.)
Where are all the laid-off software developers going?
I think you're both in violent agreement using different terms.

You're looking at the macro "It's all in tension" (superposition of two states) and hinkley is looking at the "bottom is a compressive change" (dynamic portion of the load).

What I'm not clear of is if you think that the upper spokes change tension between the unloaded case and the plain gravity load case (force on hub down, ground on rim up at the bottom), or if you expect the top half spokes to increase and the bottom half to decrease in tension. I think this is what hinkley thinks you think.
Right, but they can get away with that because they have essentially no competition.

Berlin Review: LAN Party
The religious group that funds it has a questionable relationship to science including and despite "Science" being in its name. (It was started as a 19th Century anti-hospital group. We'd consider them "proto-anti-vax" in today's concerns and terminology.) They may be unbiased in reporting the news, generally, but there's still concerns about their relationship to reporting science given their name and the known beliefs of their church.
Interesting. I thought "plummeting" deserved correction, but it's me who was wrong: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual-number-of-births-b...

It has risen and fallen in the past, but nonetheless it's quite a decline at the moment.
To me the biggest mystery is why they didn't make multiple samples and send them to a few places that could verify their claims immediately. I understand that the papers were published before they really wanted to but they've also apparently have had samples for awhile it sounds like?

So assuming it's not BS (and I doubt that it is) it would lead me to believe that making the material is difficult to get right? The video they've produced uses a sample that isn't particularly elegant, to be sure.

I guess it's all conjecture at this point and healthy skepticism is warranted. A press conference would be nice.

This is the argument. This is not a hint, a clue, an implication, it is me directly stating what the argument is:

The argument, as I've repeated over and over, is simple; what scientists publish is what matters. What they say in private Slack chats and emails is entirely irrelevant. I await these authors collective retractions, but lacking that, these Slack messages mean absolutely nothing, and Nate Silver knows that, as should you.

But I think your analysis is poor. The homeless rate is higher in Germany than the US for example. Germany isn’t on fire, but I think it’s awkward to color it in a way that implies people are doing better there than the US. It will be a painful economic transition.

I feel like both ends of it can be exhausting. Dealing with other people just not caring or executing poorly can easily burn you out or make you lose faith in your coworkers, but so can having everyone else working late hours and feeling the social and perhaps practical pressure to keep up. They're different flavors of exhaustion and burnout, but both can be dangerous.

Neither v^2 nor v^3 is exponential. They are polynomial functions. Exponential would be if wind resistance or power or fuel consumption were c^x for some constant c.

It seems to have become fashionable to say "exponentially" or even "EXPONENTIALLY" when you mean it's a rapidly increasing function, but to the technically-minded, whom I would hope to find on HN, there is still a clear-cut difference between exponential and polynomial.
I don’t understand why journalists are keen on hating Elon after the Twitter “fiasco”, except the branding change as an obvious change, pretty much almost everything is the same, you can post and interact with whoever is still there.. is it because some other people that you don’t like or align with are now allowed to post? Isn’t journalism is all about listening, reporting, and debating all kind of news and opinions? Per the article:

>has always disdained political agendas that were important to many people who use(d?) and made Twitter.

So does that make Elon (who’s per the article is a reactionary extremist) better than these journalists (who are not a reactionary extremists) for staying in a platform that he didn’t align with or agree with its political/opinion views? It’s a social media, you shouldn’t expect everyone or sometimes most of the people around you to agree with your views.

That being said, I would love to see the journalists are hating on him for other stuff than Twitter, and there’s plenty.
ICE engines have an efficiency map of output torque/RPM and (up to a point) higher torque usually means more efficient use of fuel. In most ICE vehicles the engine efficiency gains balance with the drag efficiency losses between 40 and 50 mph.

At minimum both add an encrypted, independent sync service in lieu of Google's one. And of course a ton of useful new UI customizations, built in adblockers and other mere reskin stuff. I, too, hear "built-in adblocker written in Rust" and think "reskin".
Okay well until people start losing elections because they aren't doing enough for the environment I don't think we can expect much to change. People are a lot more worried about their day to day problems for the time being.

Powerful interests working to push back public opinion and paying politicians is an obstacle too though, for sure.

Agree that it's second-hand...and even he states this. What about the 11 hours of testimony he's provided privately to congress that includes specific names, companies, and locations? What about the first-hand witnesses that congress has heard from that back-up Grusch's claims?

I mean, there are some seemingly crazy accusations...but even if only some of them are accurate, they're worth looking in to. And if it's all false, it's still very interesting that so many trusted individuals are making such crazy claims. That is its own huge issue.
