I guess calculations are done using semiconductors. So you could perhaps get energy to a transistor without heat, but the transistor itself is not a superconductor and will still emit heat.
I don’t understand why people don’t get this. There is no difference in the process that creates useful answers and the process that creates useless ones.

It’s similar to how sometimes people just spew bullshit and then once they hear it they’re like no, wait, it’s like….

There isn’t a proponer closed loop on LLMs yet so we sometimes end up with terrible answers.
Have you found this out just now, is this the actual reason they were blocked and was this communicated to them clearly?

If this is not the root cause then pointing this out as part of this conversation is misleading. If it is, why was it necessary for OP to find this out on HN?
Highly doubtful but you never know. Filings are already highly scrutinized.
Right, I know, but what's the advantage of gpu vs cpu for fft, considering cpu-s support some vectorization and you need to format the data and send it to the gpu and back.

Hi, I am an experienced Developer (4+ years professionally) with Masters in Computer Science. 3+ years working with Angular and RxJS, the rest of it is React and React Native. In addition to my developer experience, I am also a mentor in the company I work and write blog articles about RxJS, TypeScript, etc. Also, last year I held a lecture at an IT conference about that. Currently, I am learning the backend with NestJS, Sequelize, and PostgreSQL so mowing towards Full-stack
The mind-blowing thing is that electrons, as far as I understand it, don't actually flow through wires at all. If they did AC power would be pointless
Sign-up popups are annoying, but not inherently unethical. Nobody's on the street because one dev tried to convert people.
If the rock floats, it will be the biggest indictment against the current way of doing research you can possibly imagine.
Well it isn’t peer reviewed for one.

I don’t think people that are a little skeptical are being negative they are just being realistic. We’ve experienced things like this before and some of the hallmarks of the ones that let us down are there in this one.

And according to Wikipedia LK-99 was "discovered" back in 1999, hence the name. It isn't clear if it was also first manufactured back then, but assuming it was, 24 years does seem an awfully long time to notice these allegedly simple signs of room temperature super-conductivity (e.g. if you put a magnet near it then it is said to float as per Meissner effect).
There is no evidence to support the assertion that rates of rape are “relatively high” in those countries. You can assume the statistics are vastly underreported—and they certainly are—but you’d have to multiply them by 100x or 1000x to reach the rates of the US. At that point you’re speculating.

The (frankly kind of bigoted) assumption here is that being well intentioned and having the “right” attitudes towards female sexuality is somehow more effective at preventing rape than strict social separation of the sexes.

And you’re correct that non-consensual sex is a relatively small factor in HIV rates compared to widespread consensual sex with multiple partners.
The shift from print to digital mediums has democratized the act of writing, allowing more voices to be heard and expanding access to information.
The Pareto Principle would beg to differ. I highly doubt you’re getting the same value out of the remaining 10% that you got out of the first 90%.

Or maybe I have it backwards and the 10% is 80% of the value? But no, that makes me uncomfortable considering my pattern of unfinished projects so I’m going to go with my first theory.
Well they do but very slowly. With AC they just wiggle left and right.
I'm not sure what happens to your savings account in an US bank if US government debt is in the state of even mildest of default.

At the very minimum, you may see decades of interest wiped by devaluation of currency (a good question is "compared to what", but that's another story). FDIC becomes seriously unbacked in this case.
It seems CRDTs in the limit approach a commit for every keypress. Meanwhile a commit in git is an atomic set of keypresses, to transition from one working state to another. So, in a CRDT world with a commit for every keystroke we would need to annotate sets of commits. Like “all of these commits change the title ‘hello’ to ‘world’”. Would be interesting.
These already exist and are not primitive. Groups have been applying NLP and analysis against text for longer than you would think.
It is bizarre, beyond bizarre, that these people keep focusing in on Trump's flamboyant habit of lying. His opponents lied. Everyone in politics lies. Why there is this expectation that people will stop supporting Trump because he lies is beyond a mystery. Are Huppert and Levine proposing that they vote for honest politicians? Where are they supposed to find them?

Your options are to vote for politicians who never say anything of substance, or vote for people who are habitual liars. I'm glad we're realistic about Trump telling lies, but please can we also focus on the lies like the claims there was no spying apparatus, that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or that the US economy was strong going in to all the major recessions? The difference between Trump and that is that Trump's lies didn't end up having much in the way of consequences.
> ...place the user in American-style MM/DD...
> No ability to force date style by design.

There is datetime-local, date, and time. And there's a lot of control over what is allowed with min-max ranges, steps, etc.

The only thing I can imagine to go wrong here, is when a user has their browser set in US-en but when they are not aware of that. Which seems... weird; or at least not a problem a web-dev should solve.

> Lets you enter nonexistent dates like 31/2

This may be an issue in specific browsers/versions/os. But enabling the "validation" by setting required and/or some other attributes, gives an error for these dates AFAICS. But, in any and all cases: server-side validation is needed anyway. You just cannot trust a value sent by a user, whether that's "validated" with sixty npm-packages and their dependencies, or by the browser.
Well, but look at this from this angle: now those individuals and families have more or less peaceful power-transfer game to play (which also brings some marginal improvements in life quality to you and me in the process) instead of, you know, civil wars and political assassinations.
Lets make a simple Gedankenspiel with only a wire made from LK-99 and a bunch of electrons sitting on the left end of the wire.

After a moment, the electrons will be spread out evenly through the wire, right?

So after a moment, the energy that was stored in the system (When all electrons were on the left) is lost.

If no heat is emitted, where did the energy go?
I've experienced it, because I have FE(II,III) in me, so have you.

This is a political piece thinly veiled as psychology article. I know most people upvote this kind of stories just based on the title and use that as a conversation starter. But we are helping to rank cheap propaganda and I think that is a shame.
I wish it supported this kind of use case better, but they seem to not like it. For example whenever you go to load a sideloaded app you have to go to a different section of the menu and it has a patronising warning about how piracy is against their terms of service that you can’t get rid of. There are also unnecessary restrictions on window placement that didn’t exist on the Oculus Rift. Also in the base Quest 2 at least you can’t run a VR application with a floating window on top of it

The point here is that the country and government don't have to actually fail here to fail paying the debts. The debt ceiling rules and the behaviour of the Republican party make it a plausible outcome that the US decides to simply not pay their debts at some point in the future.

There may be investment funds that have internal rules limiting how much they can invest in lower rated countries.

This explains a lot; I’ve been thinking for years (ever since being diagnosed with a chronic health condition) about writing an essay likening the American insurance system to Kafka’s _The Trial_. The bureaucracy is absolutely soul-crushing, and has left me in tears on multiple occasions. While nearly no individual person you deal with is at fault or malicious, the whole experience ends up being something I wouldn’t wish on anyone.
Covered is stretching it. Most raw HTML elements look terrible and wouldn't pass muster with pretty much anyone.

IMHO, this is a big miss with browsers. Sites look awful without styling and you have to be pretty good with CSS to even make them look passable. Way easier to reach for a framework with prebuilt components

The 1993 Journals: Prince of Persia 2 and the Last Express
Besides the ruminants, there are also other animals, the best known being the rabbits, which are not able to reverse the direction of the food to bring it back from the stomach into the mouth, so after a one-way passage of the food through their bodies they must eat it again, to chew it for the second time.
Peaked my interest, but then:

- No (price or non-price) comparison/benchmark with any physical GPU of any sort;

- Seems to only be able to do FFTs;

- To be truly useful (or "General" - hey, they do mention _G_PGPU), it would have to be able to run OpenCL code;

- And on that note, what's the point, since (many) FPGAs can run OpenCL code directly?

Is there something I'm missing?
We're in an era where once in a generation events happen every month.
Some older context is they price per CPU core and I remember something like $10k/CPU core per year. This is from years ago and there were "enterprise" agreements in place and many millions of dollars being spent. I can't imagine they lowered prices other than maybe cloud offerings.

The support contract costs more than the "license" if my memory serves me, but its very expensive. If you're doing anything remotely complicated, using their advanced tools beyond a basic RDBMS (replication, clustering, etc.) then you need that support contract.
Pathological Science (Wikipedia)
The fact that our species is successful doesn't mean that every mechanism in our bodies is good. There are a lot of "design decisions" which could have been improved if they had gone through a review, rather than evolution.

One such example is the way our retinas are wired to the optic nerve on the inside of the eye, rather than behind, causing us to have a "blind spot" where the nerve fibres need to go back. In some other animals, particularly the octopus, the retina is wired the "right way", such that they don't have a blind spot.

Same for the design of our pharynx, larynx and esophagus. As mentioned in sibling comments, other animals suffer from choking much less, as compared to humans, where we have ~5k deaths/year from choking just in the US [0].

Long story short, someone accidentally did rf -rf * in the wrong place as root, and they had to rebuild the system enough to restore from the backups, including writing an executable in machine code as hex and then converting it to binary to call the appropriate system call to effectively "mkdir /etc".

Likely not. Animal trials are usually one use, to get the best data. And the animals in use get usually killed afterwards anyway. If you like animals, you probably do not want to learn too many details about it all.

It is to the merit of psychology. Other branches of social sciences don't dare to propose such a thing. They know that their replication numbers are going to be worse than psychology's.
On one hand the meaning of "trusted by" logos are greatly exaggerated, but on the other hand companies owning these logos like to bite hard if they are pictured as endorsing something that they haven't even heard about. At least one of the companies I used to work had a department hunting, and sometimes litigating such false endorsements. These logos can be usually used for such marketing stuff only with explicit (written) permission of the logo owner.

Yes, people with knowledge of the topic can make money from that if the prediction market trends towards the wrong answer.

But that is not how those prediction markets are used. You see arguments like "the prediction markets give only 20% for this to be true" and people take that as "it is untrue". Without any qualifier (it also doesn't help that most people don't understand statistics).
They hurried and referenced (although only stating that the work is similar) Griffin who published yesterday, so I'm surprised they didn't reference Lai et. al., who also published yesterday with similar conclusions.

But it'll be interesting to see what happens.

It seems that multiple groups are coming to the agreement that this could theoretically be superconducting. So hopefully people can learn to synthesise it.

Because the world does not work like conspiracy theorists think it does.

Science is never obviously a breakthrough, people like to talk about and get credit for cool stuff they do, and revolutionary technology isn't necessarily of any benefit if no one knows about it.

This is like asking why the US government didn't keep the transistor a secret: because the transistor is of no use to anyone until people made microprocessors with it, and to do that they needed to first make better transistors.
Looking from outside the USA: If they don't cooperate then the budget won't be approved at all, no? It's all good and well not to want to cooperate with people that don't act in good faith, but since the other party has almost half the seats in the senate and a majority in the house of reps then how do you govern at all?

General steps here are go into billing reports, find the project where that was billed and make sure it’s under your control. Might as well do an audit of all your service accounts and keys if there are charges you are sure you didn’t do.

Well, it was leaked so…

Also, we have no clue if the US or other military has already discovered and been using this and for how long.

I feel it was going to get out eventually. If you’re using a room-temperature ambient-pressure superconductor for things which require room-temperature ambient-pressure superconducting, unless you conceal that you actually need it, people are going to realize. And once the existence is known, many top-tier labs would be analyzing it and trying to discover the manufacturing process like they are now…

The nice thing about academia is that people don’t hide breakthrough discoveries, they post them publicly and get rewarded for that. If real, these people are on track to win a nobel prize and lifelong fame and probably, lifelong funding (though probably not as much, but more than enough to survive). If real and these people hide how to produce, what would they get? Possibly more money, because governments and businesses would buy what they make for a lot and hire for even more. But governments and organizations would also want to kidnap and extort them, and most people would hate them. Meanwhile many, many labs with as much equipment and as talented researchers would be working on reproducing, and taking whatever samples they can get to do so, so their extra opportunities may not even last for long, but their notoriety would

The Science of Learning to Code
Not in the field, but this recent podcast covers it:

https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/two-psychologists-four...

Harkening back to episode 73, Alexa and Yoel discuss recent evidence of fraud documented in the Data Colada blog post "Clusterfake." The post is the first in a series of four, which will collectively detail evidence of fraud in four papers co-authored by Harvard Business School Professor Francesca Gino. […] Finally, they consider what this means for a field still struggling to build a more trustworthy foundation.
In Praise of Boring AI
The idea behind drug decriminalization, aiming to treat drug use as a health issue rather than a criminal one, seems promising in theory. It's encouraging to see efforts to shift the focus toward rehabilitation and support for those struggling with addiction. However, the data from Oregon's experience suggests that the reality is far more nuanced.
Not voting is also a choice, however it means you leave the results over to a vocal minority; remember that there were only 537 votes difference in Florida between Bush and Gore in 2000; that's a tiny margin, which could easily have gone the other way (and with it pretty much everything that happened after 9/11) if only the people that were like "I'm not voting because the system is broken" had actually gone and voted.

I mean the system IS broken, but choosing not to participate doesn't help. If you do want to protest, vote blank. If you don't vote, you're participating in the idea that democracy doesn't work and should be replaced with a different system.

Democracy isn't perfect, but it's the least worst. The US-flavored democracy is broken but needs the right people to get voted in to change it.

>he hardly mentions the epic failure of string theory

I'd argue that implies you don't know where string theory fits in the "pantheon" of physics. It applies to the realm well below the radius of the proton, required to explain only the most exotic times and places (like the moments after the big bang, or the boundaries/interiors of black holes). Carroll's point is that basically ALL of "everyday physics" is known - everything above the radius of a proton, which governs all the stuff and signals we are and deal with in our solar system and local chunk of galaxy. String theory is an example of a "weak" theory because it's not unique, but it also applies only to exotic things and it's haziness does not affect our understanding of the larger regimes.
