Sorry for my very late reply! I was super busy, and your reply was late so I missed it.

So basically the only conclusion from following the story is the one you've reached?

No.

> The flower you smoke looks the same no matter if it has 5% THC or 35% THC

I get what you’re saying - but this is not practically true. Weed that contains 35% THC has a lot to do with the conditions it’s grown in which affects a lot of the other physical qualities of the weed. Smell, color, size of nug, density, humidity all are very correlated with potency.
As far as I understand, we're saying the same thing.

isomer
/'aɪsəmər/
noun
a compound that exists in forms having different arrangements of atoms but the same molecular weight

I'm using isomer to refer to possible different arrangements of "the LK99 compound". I see you're saying allotropes refers to diamond vs carbon (allotrope referring a single element vs isomer referring to compound).

That raises a question, what's the name for different crystalline structures of the same compound? Is that still an isomer or something different? I'm out of my element here.
Humans have always consumed at the limits of their abilities, and we're in an era of exponentially increasing ability.

There is no history of consumption being artificially restricted at a global scale. A few socialist countries have managed it, and everyone there wants to escape.

In an era of exponentially expanding abilities, we should be massively increasing clean energy output through technologies like nuclear reactors.
Oh, please let's not this go into another "compile time" flag, because I've seen enough where this goes. Unless you are doing strictly embedded, or whatever clearance software, you don't need this "compile time" thing.

Yeah, no. I noticed that silly line too.

Microwave ovens deliver microwaves. That doesn't mean microwaves can't disintegrate plastic -- maybe they can -- but there's no UV in a microwave oven.
Explaining why is valuable. The band gap described in this paper is common to other high temperature superconductors. While I remain skeptical, this gives a glimmer of hope, and if the material is indeed superconducting, analysis like this is useful in further understanding high temperature superconductors. If it's not superconducting, then this research may yet be interesting -- if the analysis is correct, it would be interesting to know what's different.
I read somewhere (I wish I could remember the primary source) that some large hunting ranches are taking this approach as well. Basically, if a buck looks like it would be a "trophy" animal (large antlers, etc.), they don't hunt it. Apparently this was something that started on a ranch where the owner's brother was an advocate for the practice, which they took to heart after he passed away young.

The claimed result was that in even relatively small periods of time (less than a decade), the number of "high quality" deer on their property skyrocketed due to the fittest bucks actually being able to compete and pass on their genes rather than being hunted immediately.

The rules are designed so that there will be absolutely no encumberance to them using your submission in any way that they want (if you win 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place). From limiting datasets to stipulating the license to a requirement of patent unencumberance and broad IP permissions.

The section 508 requirment is also very telling. Whatever wins, they plan to copy-and-paste it into their own website at the very least.

If I were to do this, then I would pour everything I had into it, because that's the way that I do things. And so, I read all the rules, and decided that I didn't like the terms.

The only reason that I commented here in the first place is because the terms were so eggregious (in my opinion) that I felt that others should be warned about the danger and the extent to which they must sacrifice their IP in order to win the contest.

This contest could have been so much better. Sadly, it sounds like the terms were written by some greedy corporation looking to find a cheap way to mass-producde games. ($35k for 3 games is a bargain, but only if you're the buyer!)
In the botanic gardens in Sydney they actually put up signs "yes you are allowed to get on the grass" because I assume many tourists assumed you are not allowed to (in probably tried to tell other people off).
The article has not mentioned Bayesian inference, which allows to make sound decisions under uncertainty.

For example, in practice the raven problem is not to guess if all ravens are black but to predict the color of the next raven if that color affects a decision.

From that perspective if one knows absolutely nothing about ravens and has seen a single black raven, then it is mathematically sound to guess that the next raven will be black, not white, and make a decision accordingly.
This is one of those sort-of hyperbolic put downs which goes to "we need" encompassing the entire western worlds power requirements.

No, you can't replace all existing power sources now and into the future by pumped hydro.

Pumped hydro has a massive role to play in power supply, time shifting electricity from renewable sources, providing system resiliency, black start, inductive and inertial load, you-name-it. It also exists. It's in widespread use, across the globe. I have one less than 100km from me here in Qld, there is one under construction in the snowy hydro project (with issues) complementing an existing unit at Tumut, Another at Shoalhaven in NSW and there are two large sites in the UK power grid Dinorwig and Cruachan, both of which supply near-instantaneous (<20sec) power against demand shifts.

Compared to gas turbine load start (minutes), pumped hydro is fast (seconds). Compared to batteries (milliseconds), It's slow. Batteries have capacity limits too. In the capacity stakes, Pumped hydro can beat them hands-down but for a massive initial capital outlay. Snowy 2.0 will supply DAYS of power. 2Gigawatts, as 350GWh of power. 3 million homes equivalent, for a week. People argue about the economics, not about the underlying capability.

Worldwide there are plenty of good sites, including mine shafts. And, gravity models for power include trains, and cranes. Neither of which will replace all sources of power for all burdens in the network either. The idea this is limited to existing land-surface bodies of water simply isn't true.

Not all useful things have to be able to solve the problems "at the scale we need" to be both useful, and able to solve problems.

Does anyone know if there's a way to ensure those "particular Cu substitutions" happen at the correct atomic sites? Or I guess what's the way forward in terms of synthesizing
You say potato... The paper is fucking vague on all counts, from synthesis to result. "LK-99" at this point is understood to be most likely a mixture of compounds. It is not fully defined, it is not one "thing," it's broad proposal that encompasses a family of materials.
It's easy to poke holes in government program and claim it's not friendly to a commercial mindset. The goal is to build compelling educational content for free use.

The term "social media" was coined in 1997 in reference to AOL chatrooms. It can totally apply to web forums as well.
Right, with vertical farms, we can keep current consumption patterns without covering the planet in feedstock crops.
If you figure out how to ensure it gets dropped at the higher energy subsitution site, you would get a nobel prize as well.
Determinism is totally incoherent and self-evidently false. There is no evidence for determinism available to you. The very concept of “evidence” requires free will.

There are no stupid determinists; it takes a certain level of intelligence to become so disconnected from literal moment-to-moment lived experience.

Edit: I erred in saying it is false; that is too generous. It is arbitrary.

For the sake of fun, I setup a Debian VM and installed the latest FreeBASIC.

Testing a few files, and it choked. E.g when compiling http://www.vintage-basic.net/bcg/amazing.bas, I got these errors:

- Array not dimensioned

Not versed with older BASICs which predated QB, so probably I'll try the modern implementations instead.
Raw lithium is a small fraction of the cost of battery, using recent costs your looking at ~4% of total battery price from low purity lithium. People focus on it because of the name rather than nickel-cobalt-manganese or whatever the specific chemistry actually used. They also confuse mining costs with manufacturing costs when looking at ultra pure lithium ready for use in batteries but that’s like conflating the cost of 99.999% pure monocrystalline silicon with the cost of silicon in glass.

Batteries don’t need much Lithium and the stuff is more abundant than lead, tin, iodine, mercury, etc.
Games experiences are carefully crafted. Minecraft is not a world simulator, or an RPG (I mean, without mods), if you added such features in the base game, it would change the experience dramatically. I'd say that the reason they didn't implement it yet, is simply because it's not the experience they want to give.

Never underestimate how hard it is to create the game experience you want. There's a reason why a lot of NPC AI in videogames are dead simple: it's easy to implement, players easily interact with it, without being confused, it follows rules carefully crafted for the game experience, it's easy to debug and test etc. etc.

Also, how many games like rimworld, DF exist in 3D ? That's right, none that I know of. Making this kind of AI in a free 3D space becomes a whole other story. I think it works well with 2D minimalistic games, because the player uses its imagination a lot. In 3D you can't really leverage this. Anyways that's my 2 cents on why not every game implements it.
The theory of gravity is easily falsifiable. If we identify an object that has a given mass and does not produce the expected gravitational attraction, we will have to review the theory.

Your assessment is very harsh. Popper's framework is hugely influential in science.
An isomer can have different valences but still have the same overall chemical formula.

So just for an example (I have no idea how to put a tetrahedron in a comment :) ) a chain of C-C-C-C and C-C=C-C (which you likely can not synthesize) would be an isomer but C-C-C-C in one crystal lattice versus C-C-C-C in another crystal lattice would be allotropes.

The carbon in graphite sits in sheets (hence the possibility to form graphene), whereas the carbon in a diamond always forms three dimensional lattices.

edit nah: bad example, sorry, I can't find a good way to visualize this in text the 2nd C-C-C-C chain should have the last C dangling from the 2nd down.

edit2: examples are wrong, I should have used a more complex molecule for the isomer and the carbon can have either three or four other carbons hanging of it for the allotrope. tricky...
I'm a scientist and I feel like Philosophers of science have much to say about science, even more than scientist even. Specially on this grounds. What you said was correct, but it's a reduced vision. Why don't we add Kuhn and Lakatos to the mix? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_program
A significant number of implementers roll their own UUIDv4. It seems so easy so why not? Most UUIDs are used in contexts where the devs are not that sophisticated so it isn’t that surprising that naive mistakes happen. If you are using it for distributed UUID generation, it just takes one person making a mistake to create havoc.

UUIDv4 is banned in many high security environments primarily because it is easy for people to screw up in practice and it is difficult to detect when those mistakes are made. 128-bits doesn’t leave much room for mistakes using probabilistic uniqueness.
That package dates from 2016, and this article was written in 2014. In those ancient days, you had no choice except to use the ETW api directly.

Worse, the existence of a nice wrapper that smooths out the API doesn’t actually make the API itself any better. The existence of the wrapper is itself rather damning.

The whole "Fuck big gov bailing out big bank! We are the 99%!" sentiment, if I had to take a guess.

The virtue of bailing out banks is certainly worthy of debate, but that is all irrelevant here because the parent comment implies the need (and there definitely is a need) to teach the masses what banking is, first of all.

Remember, these are people who can't tell apart bank bail outs from loan forgiveness from government handouts. The level of civic understanding among the masses is atrocious, and it isn't helped by the media and the powers that be doing their fucking damnedest to keep the masses ignorant and misguided.

National Lab (LBNL) results support LK-99 as a room-temperature superconductor
As per your link, solar thermal water heating is very variable depending on geography:

> The amount of heat delivered by a solar water heating system depends primarily on the amount of heat delivered by the sun at a particular place (insolation). In the tropics insolation can be relatively high, e.g. 7 kWh/m2 per day, versus e.g., 3.2 kWh/m2 per day in temperate areas.

Because of this, many solar thermal systems are supplemented by convention heaters.

> In winter, the percentage of your hot water heated by the sun drops to as low as 10-20%—as you might expect with short days and weak sun in December. That’s why practically every solar water installed in the US will be connected to a backup conventional water heater to ensure that your hot water needs continue to be met even in January.

The benefit of the Bayesian approach is the need to explicitly state a prior distribution, in this case, you would need to state the prior probability that all ravens are black. This forces us to realise that induction does not prove anything, and reduces to the matter of having the evolutionarily-gifted skill of coming up with good priors.
Old-school Postgres extensions for GIS would be an example. They aren’t used much anymore, but I felt like they deserve a place in history :)

The doc you saw refers only to how secret files are treated at build time.

At runtime, Render mounts your secret file at `/etc/secrets/FILENAME` in your container. Your application can then read it like any other file on the local filesystem.

Of course, you can always store your secrets in Render environment variables and use them via ENV statements at runtime.
I’m always mildly confused by the question. Makes me wonder if you read my resume.

Still, I ask the question in more or less the same way during interviews. How people respond is more interesting than what they respond with.
I’m surprised/impressed by the quick turnaround between the original LK99 paper submitted on 22 Jul 2023 and this reproduction attempt submitted on 31 Jul 2023. Could there have been a pre-print of the original paper that allowed the reproduction attempt to begin earlier?
One advantage here is for well-lit areas, like if you have a window seat. More light makes the kaleido display sharper, rather than making it frustrating. It can change how you lay out your office, and make things like adjusting blinds less necessary.
We have tons of free high-energy radiation in space. LENR can be impractical on Earth, but be practical on Mars, or on a space station, or in Van Allen belts. Mars is very cold, but constantly bombarded by cosmic rays, because it lacks magnetic shield. Thin atmosphere allows much larger flux of particles with lower energies to reach ground. It may work, if lattice will be exposed to the cosmic rays. LENR can be used here as lightweight source of heat for domes.

The concept of falsification was introduced by Karl Popper in 1934... not 200 years ago. Popper is a historically important philosopher of science, but under scrutiny much of his thinking doesn't actually match up with how science is done (now or historically), and his philosophy hasn't been the dominant philosophy of science since the 1960s (enter Thomas Kuhn and Paul Feyerabend and Imre Lakatos). Nonetheless, the idea that "science = falsification" permeates popular culture, and is even repeated by many scientists who think about their work, but don't as often think about how they think about their work.
This was the fall of Einstein though. He refused to acknowledge that the world truly was incomprehensibly weird in the quantum realm and kept trying to find some intuitive workaround or another for decades. The world is a sadder place because his true unique mind could have propelled us to unimaginable leaps (unimaginable to us mere mortals) if he had taken his head out of his own ass and accepted the reality for what it is and try to find the next breakthrough.
Mostly unrelated to my other comment, X/Twitter have repeatedly displayed editorial decision in what is left, what is removed. Arguing that its a defender of public rights to free expression in the wide, is a bit of a stretch given they actively (even if badly) "police" the content and make decisions on what to leave and what to remove.

If this is aspirational, its also demonstrably not currently or historically correct or complete. (and I don't just mean that illegal expressions are removed: unpopular views are removed, including critiques of the owner)
It will become even harder to find trustworthy content online. There will be lots more rabbit holes for people to fall into once it becomes commonplace to fake not just individual users but whole communities.

I really wonder what this will do to human culture as a whole, in the long term. So far we have relied on cultural artefacts and practices being mostly the work of other humans (directly or through tools). We are about to find out what happens when that is no longer the case.
This assumes the chemical structure is stable, which may not be the case. If the material is truly not superconductive at room temperature, it will take a long time to gather enough diverse experimental evidence to build a scientific consensus. A good rule of thumb is probably 3 months to reproduce, 6 months to discredit.
Okay that actually sounds like ensemble learning which is a known ml technique
Just double checking, the definitions I'm finding for allotrope are specific to a single element.

allotrope
/'ælə,troʊp/

There are simulators such a Kemper or neural DSP that can reproduce fairly well any amp, but it is expensive, and imperfect.

When you play on emulation it's difficult to know if it is faithful without having used the original.

Some musician appreciate them, others avoid them.
