for me, there are tons of aspects of the world that changes absolutely everything in the world all the time.

medicine, environment, climate effects, stuff that the James Webb Telescope is observing (for example the idea that the universe is way older than we thought), every single moment we are creating or observing something new and suffering from (or benefiting from) the impacts of what we found or created.

If a person wants to go from "I don't know anything about this topic such that a wikipedia article is too confusing to interpret" to "I can understand an arxiv paper and discuss about its significance" they absolutely need to know why they want to do this.

There are a lot of topics in the world, and it's past the time where a DaVinci can master topics from anatomy to physical science to philosophy all in one lifetime. Gotta pick and chose, and knowing why is a big part of picking.
Not sure why this is getting such a negative response… it succinctly identifies a challenge in communicating these developments to curious laypersons. Entrepreneurial types like the denizens of Hacker News love the opportunity of a problem they’re positioned to solve, no?
Because all of these replications aren't contributing much; they're bare bones efforts with little to no scientific insight. Not one of these papers is conclusive in terms of showing evidence for it being a superconductor. None of them even contribute meaningfully.

This happens in machine learning all the time. Low quality papers rush in after every major release and announcement in order to be first. But in the long term they're meaningless because it takes time to do a good job.

Good labs don't want to announce half done maybe results. They want to announce conclusive comprehensive high quality results they can stand behind. That's what moves science forward.

Plenty of labs are working on lk-99, but they won't publish this sort of half assed analysis.

A rough scale might be:

Mild ADHD: You're more distractable and forgetful than most. You have techniques to get around this such as reminders, planners, assistants etc.

Moderate ADHD: You struggle with important task completion all the time. You've experienced consequences from it such as job loss or dropping out of college You may have depression or anxiety related to your ADHD

Severe ADHD: You're in prison because of a violent outburst caused by your emotional disregulation. You're homeless because you can't hold down a job or a relationship. You're dead because you crashed your car while distracted.

I remember in the early aughts I could get a bottle of Colchicine for four bucks. Thanks to that walleyed expression of human avarice, the 2006 United States Unapproved Drugs Initiative, it became someone's IP and - presto! - went to sixty bucks. So, well, sorry, guess you just gotta grunt your way through a crippling weeklong gout attack. Thanks a bundle. Lord knows, it's good to be made safe from a pharmaceutical invented three thousand years ago from a goddamn flower.
It’s also simultaneously exactly the opposite. If the authors never get money for their work, eventually they will quit or burn out, and then the project is in a worse spot.

If companies making money have to / want to pay for support and some extra metrics, it seems very reasonable to me. You can always fork the open source project and add the enterprise features yourself of course!
I agree with you. I hiked the Hoh Rainforest in Olympic National Park for literally miles and I would not have been able to do it with sneakers.
> Why are't more labs outside China making LK-99 and publish videos?

Good rigorous science takes time to produce. It can take anywhere between several months to a year or more, and the career implications for rushing something out that is later found lacking is not great.
I once had an argument with a guy who thought that fluoride didn't work, because if it did dentists would tell you not to use it. After all, why would they undercut their own business? My counter-argument that dentists just want to help people was met with bemused skepticism, as was my speculation that they probably make more money from routine cleanings than from drilling cavities.

I am now fully convinced that the dentist lobby is keeping the caries vaccine from us.
I'm assuming "Art collections" means something other than the common meaning, or else that's an oddly specific clause.

I found that trick and showed it to some friends... But it's hard to keep a secret, and somehow a larger non-friend group was using it to cheat in a computer-lab class. I was offended by the blatant cheating, and a little by the idea that certain people I didn't particularly like were profiting from what I'd found.

So I spoofed the system administrator's username (not hard on Win9x) and sent off a stern warning, which must've surprised them since suddenly all the messages stopped. :)
I see a few mentions of Lumenpnp and liteplacer. Be sure to not forget the project that they came from https://openpnp.org/

I have a Manncorp 384v2. Entry level production machine for the most part. Works alright when everything is aligned. My main issue is not enough feeders.

I fully agree with others that we need more low end/low price PnP. They are cheap enough that if you have a single item say you are trying to sell on etsy that you could easily get a cheap PnP and a T-962 oven (hackable) and go into production from your garage.

My PnP requires a pallet jack and at least double doors to get in a building. Most of the openpnp based offerings you can carry in whole as one person.
Seems there is plenty of room for a middle of the ground machine as well.
That's an interesting little project. It's (more than) a bit beyond my skills to try, but it's great to see someone doing something like this. Even if it's to scratch their own itch.

I pay a commercial service for pirated content and have access to over 50,000 movies alone. Then there are tens of thousands of tv shows. I can request shows. It gives me access to all major streaming services content. Anything I have ever searched for is there. Shows from around the world and all around feels like unlimited content. Cheaper then Netflix and I definitely feel I am getting great returns for my money. One day we will look up to pirates for saving our culture.
Medical science is just catching up to the fact that diet is the major cause of major non-pathogenic disease behind alcohol and tobacco consumption.

It's taken so long because the medical and pharmaceutical industries prefer to treat disease rather than prevent or cure it with proper nutrition, and the food industry wants to keep you addicted.
That lawsuit SAS honestly complete bullshit. Going after Microsoft for having plentiful stolen their browser would have been one thing, but saying an OS couldn't ship software applications out of the box is crazy. What do you find when booting up an OS for the first time? Am empty desktop and no way to install anything?

What apple has done with browsers at least seems more egregious. Windows didn't stop you from installing a different browser, ios does. There was even a long running joke that the only good use for IE was to install a real browser.

It wouldn't be hard to find a reason to sure Microsoft though. Take a look someone at where the legal text states their software builds were made and ask what tax benefits one might get from running production builds on servers in the Caribbean.
So basically an IQ test in all but name.
Freon memory the issue they faced was the FDA not really having a path/category for them to be licensed under. It was a live bacteria “vaccine” with a mechanism of action that basically amounts to “out compete the bad bacteria and stick around forever in the human mouth because the other bacteria would have anyway” … which was a brilliant idea!

Between being early on the applied genetic manipulation tech wave, having a product that reproduces itself and sticks around forever (cue the FDAs concern meter rising) and at least in the eyes of the FDA not really fitting into any existing licensable food/drug categories they have established procedures for… the company stalled … and pivoted to selling some kind of water product I think.

Then seasons were started and Blizzard was asking players to repeat the same process without any meaningful changes.

It’s very clear the entire base game was vomited out and by the time people realized it was too late. Blizzard already has your money and they’re now focused on seasons to try to milk the whales with micro transactions. Casual players quitting is actually by design as it allows Blizzard to scale down their infrastructure and milk even more.

Then they have their lead designer talking on Twitter about BG3 and how “not all studios operate under the same conditions”. It’s unbelievable.

For those experiencing this type of "black swan, but good" event for the first time, it is helpful to recognize that the human tendency to believe that all future "big events" will be dystopian downers, is statistically unsound.

For a while I've kept a list of the things that could be "good" swan events, but to be fair I didn't have "room temperature superconductor on that list" :-)

Other things that could happen:

1) Fully decoding the cellular mechanism of cells allowing for the curing of any disease, repairing any genetic disorder.

2) Commercially viable fusion energy. Will change a lot of things.

3) An AI subsystem with some reasoning ability (yeah, could go either way)

We're hackers. Newness is enticing. Complaining that you're "getting tired" of something because it's novel while asking for a TikTok summary is lazy.

As another commenter mentioned, start with Wikipedia [1]. From there one sees apatites (think: hydroxyapetite or flurapetite on your teeth) [2]. Searching Google Scholar yields this paper about lead apatite [3][4].

We also see the Wikipedia article talk about diamagnetism; here is a summary video [5]. And here is a promising paper [6] from the Wikipedia entry on quantum wells [7]. I'm currently stuck here: I don't get quantum wells, and don't see--intuitively--how an apatite (or a misformed one) could produce them.

In summary, asking for help is always welcome. Complaining about your ignorance and lack of motivation, seldom so.

Yeah, that's why I mentioned "differing weather elements." If there's no issue with wetness or cold, I don't think it's an issue for sneakers.
So the max reading you can get is 20. This is an important consideration. Another consideration is that a take money can be done more than once in a row, so at some point it is optimal for you to take money for all subsequent rolls.

The correct answer is, at any time if you roll a 20, take money for the remaining rounds. On average you'll get a 20 by round 20 if you just roll 20 times in a row, so in that scenario you'll get at least 1600. This makes 1600 the number to beat. So if remaining rounds * current reading > 1600, take the money for all the remaining rounds. This translates to 17 or higher rolls 1-5, 18 or higher rolls 6-11 19 rolls 12-15 and 20 onwards.

That's only the first game in a series of 3 in the video, the remaining ones surprisingly have much simpler answers even though there are more considerations. Second game is if you take money your next round must be to roll, third game is that but if you take money, the casino gets to re roll before you do at its option, it is left ambiguous if the casino roll counts as one of your turns, which makes it 2 games to solve.

Red phosphorus, one of the ingredients in the synthesis, is a controlled substance in the US. Might be delaying everyone while they fill out the paperwork with whoever their supplier is.
> According to the article, it's a "modification of a previously popular case, the Italic..." It's plausible that decisions made in the 1500s carried forward. Sort of like how we all type on QUERTY keyboards, even though we're using machines without hammers that can jam if we type too fast.

There were literally hundreds of typecase configurations:

http://www.alembicpress.co.uk/Alembicprs/SELBLNK.HTM

The English was neither the first, nor the direct ancestor to the California Job Case. I'm not an expert on the subject, but just from quick research, it would seem the American cases extend from the Germanic and Romantic cases, not the English ones.

So again, what would a 1500s typecase have to do with a late 1800s case developed in a completely different nation? Other than a shared lingua, that is.

Hint: the oblique point trying to be made here is....by the 1800s, the US had long diverged from England/the UK and so it's a weird assumption to be made that they would inherently do something "the English way"; let alone in a far archaic manner.
In that case, you're right.
That sounds like exactly what the person you’re replying to did. What are you trying to say?
Once I was a member of a Linux user group, and we had regular meetings and also social gatherings, and during the latter, there were also mini-job-fairs; we could bring a résumé and chat with hiring managers.

So I was seated next to a gentleman who worked for a giant mobile telco, and I asked him about what he did, and he gave me a little spiel and quoted a figure of something like 5 exabits per second of data being processed for security and fraud prevention. And I reacted with amazement, and I said something like "that sounds exciting!"

And he says yeah, it's exciting, and then the conversation continued, and 15-20 minutes later, across the very large table, in another circle of conversation, somebody goes "you know, when I quote a large figure like 5 exabits per second, I'm always pleased to hear a reaction like 'that sounds exciting!' which is better than indifference or 'what's an exabit?'" and I chuckled at how the conversation had cross-pollinated, and my small comment was used as a good example.

I should've asked what kind of hardware equipment processes 5 exabits/second.
True, but only trapped within alternating N/S permanent magnetic poles... so it's possible to fool other people, but you won't be fooled yourself. Just don't use that magnetic setup. Superconducting materials will levitate in the field of a single magnetic pole.
The issue kinda is on Linux we’re playing windows games. There is significant work done by valve on that proton compatability layer, so a lot of people on Linux want to support that. Without that us Linux users have a lot harder time gaming.

There are some other launchers for epic games and gog (heroic game launcher I’ve used). It worked for me for a the couple games I tried (gloomhaven and disco elysium) but I’m using the proton wine I which I think was put out there by valve/steam.
