Still, there are only 2 options:

1. This scenario makes the car cheaper for the poorer customers, so they benefit from it. Or at least, it doesn't increase the price, so they get the added benefits of being able to upgrade their car more easily and cheaply than going to back to the shop to install the extra hardware.

2. Or, this situation makes the car more expensive for the poorer customers, but since they are much more price sensitive, it is very likely that they will choose to go to a competitor who actually sells them a similar car without the additional hardware (therefore cheaper), or without subscriptions.

Unless of course, there was a monopoly or cartel, but I don't think we are in that situation.

The fact that these companies are going in this direction, indicates that they are able to profit more in this situation, which indicates that they are providing more value (again, unless their customers didn't have a reasonable choice). It's not proof, but it's evidence that there are advantages.

That said, it's not as simple as I've just put, because sometimes it can be easy to trick people into making a worse choice for themselves in the long term, e.g. due to marketing, or buying things with credit or as subscriptions instead of one-time payments, for example.... which can definitely apply in this case!

There are diamagnetic non-superconductors like pyrolytic graphite that can also evade Earnshaw's theorem, but this would be the first metal with this strength of diamagnetism at room temperature AFAIK.
They said they are testing that next. Sounds like they wanted to get the initial results out.
So far, from my understanding, the sample size of the material has been small enough it's been difficult to rule out resistance from corrosion on the contacts of the sensors, though I seem to recall a post not too long ago on here about resistance below the threshold of measurement around 100 degrees k.

The compound must be tricky to synthesize with a good degree of purity- I think we'll learn quite a bit more if someone manages to get a bigger sample than a flake the size of the point of a needle.
If bleeding was an intended pun, nicely done.

That said, my only comment to this train of thought is that at least the building in the video takes up less space & resources than a pyramid.
It’s a bit of a ramble, but to give you the oeuvre: the problem is that our fruits, vegetables and legumes are not as nutritious today as they were decades ago. The hypothesis motivating regenerative agriculture, is that the explanation for this fact is that we treat soil as a lifeless medium for growing crops, rather than as an organic contributor to a natural ecosystem.

Relevant to this thread, Animals are a core component of a natural ecosystem. This includes grazers, insects and predators. Healthy soil is living soil, full of bacteria that literally digest their environment into free nutrients for a crop to draw from. If we aim to fuel human civilization from the earth, there’s no free lunch — an equal amount of nutrients have to be returned to the earth, and animal husbandry (and consumption) are the historical solutions to this problem.

Regenerative agriculture is agriculture that works in harmony with a living soil and its ecosystem. It means consuming more perennials than annuals, growing polycultures (e.g. the three sisters) instead of monocultures, using crop rotation to let soil lay fallow while it’s used to service the needs of animals.

It’s basically the application of permaculture principles to agronomy.

Other people in this thread have fixated on the climate aspect, and while this is certainly one big motivation for regenerative farming, IMO an equally large one is health — we are fundamentally not as healthy today as our grandparents were at the same age (in terms of cancer incidence, fertility issues, chronic inflammation, diabetes, etc.), and the food chain is an obvious place to scrutinize.

In theory, could you synthesize the perfect cocktail of organic molecules to fertilize soil for healthy crops?

Perhaps, but consider this: would it be less expensive and carry fewer negative externalities than maintaining a herd of animals that have literally co-evolved with these crops for millennia? Especially when you account for the ancillary benefits cattle husbandry (seasonal access to dairy, meat and leather as the herd is culled, etc.)?
They do both. But measuring the resistance of something that is that small is super hard because it will be close to zero anyway even if it isn't superconducting. So a larger sample would give much more conclusive results.

There have been quite a few papers about LK-99, but the only thing I want to see is whether we observer sudden drop of resistance to zero below the critical temperature that is well above the room temperature at ambient pressure or not. So far, I haven't seen one.

Yeah, no way I'd ever trust something like this if it wasn't on hardware I control.

You can't 100% trust some company to secure something this personal, but you know that you won't one day sell your personal diary to some ad firm.

Plus, privacy isn't even the biggest concern. What do you do when the company hosting it goes bust? Or simply decides to not support it anymore, or randomly increases the price? The server in my basement has way less uptime than AWS, but I control what services it runs, forever.
Well put. I think the cause of the decline is this:

The narrative used to be set by newspapers. Now, the narrative is set by a subset of Twitter/Fediverse users: the "respectable" users that journalists follow and are followed back by. These people determine the "respectable-views" Overton window, which is very narrow. Step outside of it, and the "respectable-people" mob will say that you're "amplifying bad-faith talking points"; do it too much and you'll be seen as tainted and ostracized. So the pressure to uphold this "respectable-views ideology" is huge.

I think does contribute to real anxiety in some people, because this intense "us-versus-them" is very obvious in everything they write. And just like it would be toxic in a personal relationship, it turns the national narrative "toxic", so people who don't derive entertainment from it tune it out, because, like every other kind of toxicity, it makes them feel like shit.
>1. This scenario makes the car cheaper for the poorer customers, so they benefit from it.

Pardon my ignorance, but if the cost of the hardware is already baked into the cost of the cheapest options, which means they are paying for all of the hardware they have in their cars, including the hardware they can't use, how do they benefit? Cost, in that situation, is determined simply by the need to assemble efficiently. I can't see how the consumer benefits in that scenario by paying for something they can't use.

Responding to your edit:

>Or at least, it doesn't increase the price, so they get the added benefits of being able to upgrade their car more easily and cheaply than going to back to the shop to install the extra hardware.

Again, pardon my ignorance, but it feels disingenuous to call it "an upgrade" if the car already has the equipment, especially to be charged more to use what you've already paid for.

Am I crazy?
I have heard people much more knowledgeable than me say that measuring true zero resistance is actually quite difficult and takes some degree of specialized equipment, especially with such small samples. That may be part of it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

It’s difficult to rule out external factors - a badly attached probe could also result in zero resistance for example.

Showing diamagnetism is one of the least error-prone ways to demonstrate the superconductor effect.

That’s my understanding anyway.
It's difficult to produce a sample large enough and pure enough to have its resistance measured.

I don’t think any of these are really that critical: they will become a problem in a few centuries if we do absolutely nothing but will likely be fine.

Take ocean deoxygenation: it happens locally due to fertiliser runoff in places that have a history of low oxygen. It’s good to put some resources towards fixing this, but it’s not useful to think of it as an extinction level problem that we “now have.”

That's not what Peak Oil means, but I think you know this. The cost of oil will never return to pre-2000s levels because meeting demand necessitates more expensive extraction technologies like shale and offshore. In that sense (the correct one), the prediction of peak oil by 2000 was remarkably accurate.

With Nintendo Switch currently at 130 million sales compared to 3 million for the Steam Deck, I’m not sure Nintendo has much to worry about. Admittedly, the Steam Deck has been out for much less time, but it also went through a big hype cycle at launch. The Switch is lighter and thinner, has more battery life, is less expensive, and to a significant extent is targeting a different audience. In 2023 it’s long in the tooth, but supposedly it will be replaced next year. As for the iPad, well, the Switch has been competing with it for its whole lifetime and has succeeded anyway. If nothing else, the iPad is much more expensive than the Switch - never mind the Vision Pro’s price!

That's not a trivial measurement with a small sample.

Typically you measure resistance that small like this:

+<-------sample------>-
---------p p--------

The + and - leads send a reference current (using something called a 'current source[1]', a specialist supply that cranks the voltage up and down to maintain a steady current, within some arbitrary range, usually from a few mV to 10's or even 100's of volts) that you pick (not so low that you won't get a voltage, not so high that you exceed the expected maximum current for the cross section that you are measuring)
down the two leads to the sample and then you measure the
voltage across the two points 'p' using the other two
leads. This is similar to using a shunt for measuring a
current, only now you are interested in the resistance of
'sample'. It also elegantly rules out accidentally measuring the resistance of the probe wires and has the added advantage that you can measure the voltage almost without drawing a current (though at such low resistance you have to take great care to ensure that your measurement doesn't consume a disproportionally large chunk of the reference current). If 'sample' is a nice fat chunk of material you
can expect an accurate result because it will be easy to attach to in a reliable way, you can use a lot
of current and the sample is large enough to have a resistance
high enough that the voltage you are measuring is well outside
of the noise. But for a small sample the resistance is almost
always going to be very small and the difference between a few
nanovolts and zero are hard to distinguish. So that's why
you won't be seeing any conclusive measurements of the real
resistance (or zero) until larger samples can be made, long
enough to show a sizeable voltage drop or none at all.

Like I said, it's a veneer of science instead of a veneer of religion.

Depending on your values the scientific veneer may be more appealing than the religious one, but neither is founded in particularly strong observational evidence.
Taking it seriously and addressing involves making a global list of biggest polluters and adopting policies that will make them unprofitable, making less CO2-intense alternatives more competitive.

The biggest polluter isn't the US. Most of it comes from China because they don't give a damn, and a lot if it can be addressed by making physical goods last longer and be more repairable.

Except, every repair initiative gets quietly swept under the rug. And we're not even considering banning imports and producing things domestically. Instead, we keep coming up with policies that make consumers busy, degrade their life quality, and have marginal effect on the actual amount of CO2 produced. Oh, that, and call everyone who disagrees magatards.

Not if the species was unknown to science. What would they reference?

> Again, consistent with the theory that there is a weaponized strain in the wild alongside less harmful natural strains.

Well, where is this weaponized strain? It’s not as though variability in the impact of a bacterial disease is a sign of bio-weaponization.

> This thesis is in fact wholly refuted by the fact that the CIA plotted to use tuberculosis as a bioweapon to neutralize Fidel Castro in the '60s

You must have read the footnote you cite… so you know the plan was to use a gifted scuba equipment as a delivery mechanism as a kind of soft assassination attempt on a specific individual. Is there really any argument that this plot (which was not executed) suggests anything about their general bio weapon approach? The reality is, Lyme isn’t a good bioweapon… it’s slow, weak and easily treated with cheap and common antibiotics.

I wish our number system was duodecimal. Then we probably would have ended up with base-12 metric, which would have been freaking awesome.
> a badly attached probe could also result in zero resistance for example

No, a badly attached probe would usually show a larger resistance, not a
smaller one. That's actually the easiest error to make, making improper contact with the sample. The resistance is measured indirectly using a reference
current. So you'd measure a higher resistance or a break rather than
zero if a probe were not attached correctly (unless the two voltage
probes are touching but that would normally speaking be spotted).

The diamagnetism is simply easier to verify using an impure or small sample.

IP addresses are supposed to be free! The RIRs are in the business of handing out addresses to whoever applies for them if the applicant can show that they have a reasonable use for the addresses. But as the IPv4 addresses eventually run out, AWS will then buy addresses directly from whoever has them. This is allowed, but a bit dubious, since if someone aren’t using their addresses, it would make more sense to return them to the RIR to be reassigned. But if AWS owns all the addresses, and nobody can get any more, it makes sense for AWS to start charging for the addresses. It would also make sense for AWS to halt and delay any IPv6 adoption, so we should watch for that.
Yes though Python has list comprehensions too :)

I should have picked a different example -- the idea I was trying to get across was that mutability within a loop is useful.

At the scale that AWS operates, if they raise their prices 1% they lose some measurable percentage of their sales in response. It's not a given that raising the price raises the profits. I wouldn't be surprised if their pricing is already optimized.

It's been outsourced to China because they make what the west demands.

A lot if it can be addressed by having western countries order more costly physical goods that last longer and are more repairable.
