What fusion breakthrough is needed that isn't superconductors?

They confirmed the API still ran the same base model. But there was no mention of ChatGPT the service. I was referring to the latter above.

I love the component based system and use it extensively (via surface-ui in fact as I started using it 2 years ago). It's more about having a strong component library.

There is Petal[1] that looks like the most advanced one right now, but not yet as complete.

This is a critical part of the comment you are talking about. Everything you say is irrelevant if you're already objectively guilty of crime.

I think he might be working on it. On Twitter he teased a homemade device for making very fine powder for, say, superconductors.

Here's his video of making YBCO for anyone that hasn't seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLFaa6RPJIU
Some SUVs come with a hammer to break a window if the electronics stop working. Something else I’ve heard, which I’m not sure is true, is that the metallic ends of the headrest that go into the seats can also be used for this purpose.

This has been true even before we digitized the entire car experience. For example, even more mechanical systems would not work if a car was drowning.

Which is a good reason the Cybertruck’s “unbreakable” windows are an awful idea.

Exactly, the PC PSU coverts AC to 12v for the PC anyway, so 12v batteries should slot into that scheme, without a separate PSU and inverter.
To be honest, this is a hunch thing more than a I can teach and explain it thing. To me it's just "a lot of the same stories" that are told about cuprates, and less of a "I can explain the mechanism".

Roughly, one of the "properties" that shows up with these materials is that the 3d orbitals of coper atoms are involved in forming the bands near the fermi level. Couple that with the fun story of Cu electron configuration being [Ar] 3d^10 4s^1, which suggests that spin-effects are "at play" with these electrons near their filling levels. Combine that with the spin-character properties of cuprate paring (eg. s-wave vs. d-wave superconductors, (d-wave for BSCCO for instance)). All together it lends itself to a nice spin-orbit coupled band "setup" at the fermi energy that I have a hunch somehow backs the underlying mechanism of these d-wave superconductors. Fully admit, there's some leaps there in the raw logic -- if I could fully explain it I probably would still be in the field, haha.

I'll note: I've been out of the field for ~8 years, but a quick google search led to some more recent papers [1][2] working through plausible explanations based on some of these copper d orbital shenanigans.

[1] https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation.aspx?paperid=...
[2] https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.11664 (d-p, but includes the Cu d-orbital and also specifically states "We also show that the effect of the nearest-neighbor d-d Coulomb interaction Vdd is actually quite important for the stability of superconductivity and phase competition.")
I'm not advocating anything - as it happens I do think it's unfair for some countries to cream off the best talent developed in other countries. But if those countries have failed to provide an environment their citizens can thrive in, they have every right to look elsewhere. And as a citizen of a country of migrants (*) I'm more than happy to have them come here. I recognise the UK doesn't really qualify the way Australia does but none of the concerns you've expressed make sense to me as a reason your nation's economy might be suffering.

> Unispace found that nearly half (42%) of companies with return-to-office mandates witnessed a higher level of employee attrition than they had anticipated. And almost a third (29%) of companies enforcing office returns are struggling with recruitment.

If you want to convince me, you also need to present the same numbers for companies that don't have return-to-office mandates.
Once room temp superconductivity is shown to be possible, I bet we’ll find non-lead materials that can do it too.
It's so hard not to be crazy excited about the future. The past few months are proving to be an absolute breakout for the literal human race.

So far we've seen:

1. in Dec 2022 We saw a fusion breakthrough seeing a net gain in energy

2. In March GPT-4 was released, which seems to be a seminal breakthrough in AI, and maybe of our first glimpse in what could become an AGI.

3. In May we find out apparently our government has recovered alien technologies

4. Then in July room temp super conductors just drop

Like this is the most insane period of time. Maybe the fusion technology doesn't scale, maybe GPT-5 doesn't scale, maybe the UAP thing was all a psyop, or a lie, maybe LK-99 doesn't turn out. But there's so much to hope for!
Have tried it a bit, and decided to go back to basic sysadmin and programming, I feel like cybersecurity is the janitorial career path of IT.. Only difference is between them and a janitor is as a cybersecurity person as long as nothing happened yet you merely can report the crap.. If something is a concern or happened to the competition, you get told you need to do this as quite and cheaply as possible shovel the crap down the road. When something finally happens, basically a bunch of fans get installed so they can throw crap at it, in the end they end up with more crap and the fans do nothing except spread it. My real concern is I don't think they can do enough to incentivise it and even then it might be attracting the wrong crowd to it. Everything is starting to seem like it's just waiting for the right turd burglar to come along. It's all a pardiam shifting without a clutch.
It would be really nifty if you used any context clues or pressed any buttons before making uninformed comments.

This site is called hacker news, use your brain, tinker a little.
I think the first insight to pursue LK-99 by the researchers was from the deceased scholar from their graduate school (department chair I believe?). The material was already found in 1999, but they need to try different synthesis methods over 1,000 times for slightly different chemical compositions. I am not sure if there are simulation methods to do that, but it was definitely theoretical insight that first convinced their teacher to start, and the work made the pupils to believe in what they are pursing as far as apparent background stories are concerned.
It's not just that we got good at dealing with triangles, it's that triangles are really easy to work with.

I think the reason for using triangle meshes in 3D printing is for the benefit of the slicer (or its developers) -- the slicers consume triangle meshes because that made building the software feasible. Your printer quite likely implements some amount of non-linear (as in curved) moves.

Having said that, I'm sure I heard relatively recently about some slicers starting to support STEP input files or some other solid modeling format, but my searches just turned up "how to convert your STL files to STEP files" SEO trash, which is a bit funny.

Good to know! I have seen how it injects JS into every page but so far it has not messed with my development, but I do use uBlock so I'll look into using it as a NoScript replacement as less the fewer plugins the better. Thanks!

The bug in Curve was in vyper's compiler not Curve itself.

I agree with this essay, and your point.
No average user, nor average expert can spot this type of exploit. My own background is in compiler work.
Hence the author, Evangelos Georgiadis, advocates for formal verification methods, but even these methods are not perfect. The most intriguing point for me was the author's concept of conceptual corruption, referencing work by Markus G Kuhn.
It leaves off with an easter egg quote of former compiler expert Donald Knuth.

I recommend anyone wanting to learn Linux to deploy a Gentoo machine. It gives you a crash course in all of the various components, allows you to hand roll/customize your kernel, and provides incredible granularity in tuning precisely what is on your system. No bloat. No extra dependencies. Apps compiled with support for "superfluous" features disabled, etc.

I owe my love of chroot to Gentoo.

The guide[1] is incredibly straightforward and easy to follow.

That’s… evil, frankly. If you don’t want them, don’t allow them. Don’t cause discomfort for thousands.
It's basically an open secret, no one really believes DFT has much predictive power in strongly correlated systems (where relevant electrons cannot be treated as independent). It's not useless, but DFT calculations require many arbitrary choices and are hardly "first principles" in a meaningful way.

Yeah the techbros have been the worst. Coffee guy went from saying the first DFT paper should deserve a Nobel to, "it's not a strong signal of anything" in 12 hours. WTF. All the actual scientists have been rock steady at, "it is probably not going to replicate," especially CMTC.

Techbro speculation on physics should be considered harmful.
ChatGPT as in the paid subscription hosted by OpenAI. Its quality has deteriorated. It will miss the simplest details in the prompt and hallucinate a lot. I’ve only noticed this before on models with lesser parameters.

In comparison, Bard and Claude are getting better with time.

> What's the saying... "My body, My choice" ?

Someone needs to be of sound mind to make a choice. Clearly you can't sign life-changing legal documents, or testify in court while drunk.

A range of other conditions, like deep depression, state of shock, etc. count. Does addiction?

Surely a definition of addiction is that you cannot stop, i.e. its a mental condition.

Like if someone ia diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, do we ask them if they want treatment? No, we have to treat then anyway.

I do not think this is a slippery slope, the conditions are fairly well defibed.
apologies for abusing the pronoun it
That is not true. A defining characteristic of cults is a sense of imminite danger from government or status quo and a willingness to lay down ones life in defense of it. To say that is a few degrees off of what major religions think means your compass is waaay off!
I agree with you, I don't like the prospect of pirates getting their hands on a nuclear reactor.

I'm aware however that even if they did, a terrorist (or terrorist organization) can't make a bomb out of a reactor. Heck, they'd most likely get themselves killed if they tried to fiddle with the core of a reactor. But let's say they kidnap a super-genius scientist/engineer and hold a gun to their hands and ask them to make a bomb. Even then, the genius scientist wouldn't be able to make one. The uranium in a reactor is low enriched; the minimum enrichment to make a nuclear bomb is 20%, and this design limits uses uranium enriched to at most 17.25%. One can claim that a terrorist can further enrich the uranium, but if they can do that, they can start from natural uranium, why would they wait to get their hands on reactor uranium? The other possibility is to try and refine the Plutonium-239. But in a reactor, the Pu-239 gets mixed with Pu-240, and making a bomb out of such a mix is not impossible if you are the US military, but is very likely out of reach for a terrorist organization.

The more worrisome scenario is if Iran hijacks some of these ships.
absolutely.

Is there a good summary somewhere of what all changed in the fork besides Monet theming?
Super exciting moment, seeing scientists actively exploring the superconducting properties of LK-99.
Serious question- I saw the original video, where once they stopped waving the magnet around and held it near the sheet of LK-99, it looked to me like it stayed at a specific standoff distance, with no decay.

Assuming no videographic trickery, what else could it be, other than the Meissner effect?
Sure, but if you wouldn't jail them for their petty crimes then I don't think it's right to force them into a mental institution or rehab either. So as long as it's only an alternative to jail I agree.
Countries with high birth rates will hit their local maximum carrying capacity. Immigration allows it to "blow off". As a past example, there are about 100 million people of Irish descent in the world. This is many more than there would be had they been limited to Ireland itself, when Ireland's birth rate was very high.
I'm hoping for practical Li-Air batteries. Or at least cheap solid-state Li-Ion batteries.

Pretty please?...

I'm in the field but don't actually use USD so when I heard some colleagues talking about it I googled to try to figure out what they were talking about... but was unable to find anything that wasn't talking about currency. Even if I Google something like "USD format converter"I tend to get a bunch of currency converters. it is kind of a pain in the ass.
Qr code capacity is not the bottleneck.

Where do I find these hedonistic sex maniacs?

The two are interconnected. If they weren't addicted to drugs, they probably wouldn't be homeless living in a tent. There's probably no scenario where you get a homeless drug addict into housing and they are able to maintain a normal lifestyle and have a job, take care of themselves, and contribute to society while still being addicted to drugs, so getting them off of drugs is going to be a necessary part of getting their life back on track.

Sure, if someone is addicted to drugs but is still able to maintain a home and otherwise take care of themselves, then that's not society's problem, at least, yet. I still think they'd be better off not doing drugs, but it's not yet to the point where their problems are imposing on other people.
Im sure I’m not the only person thinking 24 years is way too long for such an important advancement.

Huge respect for those in this field or others that don’t give up after so many years. Thank you
I hate seeing it used that way on HN though because it actively undermines meaty discussion of objective data and promotes the treatment of articles about objective data as click-bait, like it's the "hot sheets" of Men in Black -- like HN is a place to take seriously the wildest conspiracy theories with no real basis.
I was thinking about it from the perspective of changing people’s minds.

With right wing conspiracy movements, are they really converting anyone or just organising people who already lean in that direction and just need a rallying flag.

To go off on a tangent, I think a lot of people believe in conspiracy theories because they choose to. To quote Alan Moore,

“The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory is that conspiracy theorists actually believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is chaotic. The truth is, that it is not the Jewish banking conspiracy or the grey aliens or the 12 foot reptiloids from another dimension that are in control. The truth is more frightening, nobody is in control. The world is rudderless.”

I think we all do that to some extent, e.g. in relationships; see “positive illusions”.
Been doing stuff similar to this for decades(?) using the Fiddler proxy. It does so much stuff browser extensions or browser inspectors don't. One of my most important tools for website debugging/hacking/workarounds.

Facebook without news content will become more attractive, not less. It was a mistake for them to emphasize news content in the first place; while it might have driven a temporary increase in user engagement it devalued the product as a social network.

If you want your work to mean something, make sure the focus of attention is totally convincing.

I mean there’s a reason commercial kitchens use stainless steel (or aluminum)
tldr: to dodge import duties.

I think duties are meant to help US manufacturing compete with foreign (read: third world) factories, where pay, safety, and environmental standards are much, much lower.

But maybe I’m wrong; duties often seem arbitrary and unhelpful, less a tool for helping citizens and more to hurt recalcitrant nations.
While the article has an obvious point of view, it cites other people defending their view , with plenty of links, and even the response from Harvard ('we don't comment individual investments'). The person that Harvard hired to be their ethics monitor resigned over this. It's not some invention from the head of someone.

CMTC comes of as a whiny little POS tbh. They have the exact opposite of the attitude I would have expected from a scientist.
In their first thread regarding this topic they were almost flat out belittling the og authors. WTF.
Not really. Think of this as being analogous to public key/private key crypto; it's easy to check a signature (simulate a structure), it's extremely hard to forge one (design a new material ab initio).
No, it's not true, it's extreme hyperbole spoken with the intent to push a political agenda.
Feel like this is mostly Steam Deck usage but I would be pretty tempted to use a desktop build of SteamOS on a well supported device (like say, a Framework 16 one day)
DFT is generally good for well characterized phenomenon. Superconductivity is a bit of an edge case, really dependent on quantum effects that you need ab-initio quantum mechanics simulations to predict.

Cool setup, but I would run something like this Emacs setup in a full screen term window.

I ‘live’ frequently in mosh+tmux+Emacs but to be honest with as simple of a setup as possible.
I find zero-, positive-, and negative- sum games classification more informative. I guess the negative sum or zero sum cult are oppressive while the positive sum cults are tolerable? Rich are definitely getting richer and it is not so bad as long as poor are also doing a little better?
This is incredible hyperbole, completely unprovable, and almost certainly untrue.
