For comparison, per this Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-temperature_superconducti...) currently, the highest temperature, ambient pressure superconductor is around 138 K (−135 °C).

I'm no expert but based on my limited understanding, this result (if confirmed) while far from room temperature would still make LK99 a pretty interesting discovery in the SC world. And once a new SC like this is validated there are often methods discovered to improve the temperature or optimize other traits.

To me, the positive news here is that (if confirmed), at least LK99 isn't "nothing". Together with the recently released simulation studies indicating LK99 may have interesting SC-like properties, this causes me to increase my personal Bayesian SWAG estimate on LK99 (or a related descendant) eventually being a meaningful step toward room temp superconductors.
I know plenty of people who feel exploited by their (non-sex-)work, ranging from manual labor to retail to trades to high paying white collar jobs. Shall we ban all of that as well?
I thought I wouldn't comment on this because saying it's a scam would just get me downvoted regardless of how I present it - colour me surprised, it seems to be comfortably the majority sentiment.

Sometimes, but not enough. Everyone tries to write web components like it's "Open Standards React Lite". And the results are as poor as expected.

Web components are superficially similar to React/Angular/Vue, but very different in practice. Different strengths. Different use cases. Different opportunities. Like the post says, the web components community has been terrible at articulating and marketing these differences.

I believe certain it is near impossible to actually measure truly zero resistance. Instead, a sudden drop near Tc, combined with the meissner effect is what confirms superconductivity.

If LK-99 turns out be a legit room temp superconductor I can't see traditional patent/IP rules applying to it. The value to our species to too high for a technology like that to be encumbered. I would think a very large lump sum payment to the patent holders would be sufficient to cover everyone's interest.

Otherwise I fully expect every government in the world to simply ignore the patent and allow public/private use -- effectively invalidating the patent.

There is existing precedent for this type of action: the US government seizing wireless patents during WW1 or the Indian government invalidating international patents on medication for the purpose of federal manufacturing.
The resistance curve stopped at 1e-5 Ω because it has nearly reached the resolution limit of their instrument. Using 4-wire Kelvin sensing, the measurement current was 1 mA, the voltage read-out across the material was around 1 to 10 nanovolts - this is around the scale that some of the world's best general-purpose voltmeters can measure down to. The authors assumed that the negligible voltage drop, combined with the abrupt drop and flattening of the resistance vs temperature curve is already a convincing-enough indication of superconductivity.

Hopefully more rigorous testing will be done by one of the teams later.

Ah, right, anything that's a function purely of what's in the image - no randomness, no external context/'knowledge' to interpret it semantically, is as you say 'encoding the same information in different ways'?

If it can be computed (deterministically) from the image alone, then it was already there.
It is two separate mass transit agencies buying these trains. It doesn't even make sense you can just directly electrify rail instead of using batteries. This is just another greenwashing announcement. Hydrogen trains actually makes sense for non-electrified routes.

Quote Investigator traces variants back as far as 1626, though it evolves over time. A "rocks all the way down" variant dates to 1838, "tortoises all the way down" to 1854:

The version I'd first heard attributed the story to a lecture by Bertrand Russell and an audience Q&A, though it seems clear that that couldn't have been the first instance.
One of the authors commented in their previous video pre-announcement that they suspect it was a probe cleanliness problem, which they would investigate later.
That's what I'm not understanding about this frenzy. Seems like this already kind of exists?
I was just browsing HN new, which I don't do too often, just happened to come across it. I did notice you posted it in 2021, 2022 and again in 2023.

I hope you keep working on it, you've come quite far to quit now.

I only skimmed a few pages, and they weren't bad at all from what I saw. I'm gonna take a look at it in full as soon as I can, I'll post any helpful feedback I can on the github repo.

My email in my profile you wanna reach out.

I hope that gives you some motivation to keep going :) even if it didn't get to front page on HN. There's a lot of noise on HN, lot of good stuff doesn't make front page.

Which is indeed their argument. But in that case they haven't proved that $T_c^{zero}$ = 110 K, they only proved that $T_c^{zero}$ < 110 K. (And I should also note that $T_c^{zero}$ doesn't imply the actual critical temperature $T_c$, while the title strongly suggests so.)
> In conclusion, we successfully synthesized the compound Pb10-xCux(PO4)6O, and observed the zero resistance above 100 K. However, the Meissner effect has not been observed yet in our samples, which suggests that the superconducting volume is relatively low.

In conclusion, ... nothing?

There was the famous "Bill Gates memo" early in the century that stopped work on pretty much everything except security, citing Windows' atrocious reputation as an existential risk to Microsoft. It lead to a big improvement, including UAC and driver signing.

Also it's worth differentiating between Azure and the rest of the Microsoft silos. The Xbox isn't being cracked on the regular. The microvirt for applications and browsers in desktop Windows seems very well thought out. It seems as though the Azure team are pretty awful, though.

You can liquefy hydrogen on the spot. You don't need to move LH₂ around. If that does become necessary, the solution is improved insulation. Modern materials can reduce boil-off to that of LNG's. In fact, LNG was once seen as impossible because of its boil-off concerns at one point.

You will need bigger tanks but the fuel is much lighter. It is a solvable problem.
I have little to add other than I f---ing love your spicy take :D

...and agree with most of it. Yeah ofc I know results lead theory in all physics esp materials... :)

Disagree re: the not getting how science works, though you might be facetious?... the fact that it just so happens that if you plug the numbers obtained by experimentation into a current reasonable model, HUH, SOMETHING INTERESTING! That's huge. No, I don't think that's a non-result, and (intentionally using the "appeal to authority" logical fallacy in place of a real argument) Dr. Derek Lowe agrees, so we know how science works. ;-)

Can you expand more about what you mean by "the politics here"? (your sentence 1-5 I couldn't agree more with)

The whole idea of the Chromebook is that its sort of an internet appliance that you is supposed to be automatically updated and secure, and if in doubt, rebooting will return it to a known good state. If ChromeOS can run any random thing it's just a normal Linux laptop at that point.

That's why Developer mode isn't for the average buyer of a ChromeOS device, you have to hold down keys and specifically enable it after a big warning screen saying it will delete all data.

The official ChromeOS Linux support is a container that is inside of a VM.

You posted that link first ;) That graph is accompanied by descriptions, which are helpful in deciphering it.

> total agriculture contributions as 18.4% of total contributions and livestock at 5.8% total contributions

"Livestock & manure (5.8%): animals (mainly ruminants, such as cattle and sheep) produce greenhouse gases through a process called ‘enteric fermentation’ – when microbes in their digestive systems break down food, they produce methane as a by-product. This means beef and lamb tend to have a high carbon footprint, and eating less is an effective way to reduce the emissions of your diet."

"The overall picture you see from this diagram is that almost three-quarters of emissions come from energy use; almost one-fifth from agriculture and land use [this increases to one-quarter when we consider the food system as a whole – including processing, packaging, transport and retail]; and the remaining 8% from industry and waste."

So those 5.8% are just gases emited by those animals / from manure.

We'd have to add a part of land use, deforestation, wastewater, chemicals and energy to get the complete number.

The page was written in September 2020; we have more recent studies, I've posted one earlier, which gives the potential range for animal ag. between 16.5 and 28.1%.

> Microsoft offered the best terms by far

How is that possible? I'm guessing you mean the best terms for Windows machines and Windows-based services. As soon as you exit the Microsoft realm, the prices plummet...
microsoft has always had a culture of "just make it work yesterday" that led to shoddy code. they spent a lot of money, some of it on PR and some of it on real work, polishing up some of windows's more egregious problems a couple decades ago. but the attitude is deeply ingrained in the leadership. i also suspect that a lot of cost-cutting demanded by the business side gets implemented by off-shoring work to the cheapest possible workers with the minimum experience necessary to push a product out the door, but im not as familiar with microsoft these days.

There’s a reason USO is a pun in Japanese.
In the most ELI5 way possible, a superconductor is a material that doesn't lose any energy or produce heat when used as a cable/wire, and at the same time also a very strong magnet.

MRIs and powerlines are more obvious applications, but theoretically you can do a lot of cool stuff (batteries with zero energy loss, heat-efficient computers, etc [1]). If true, LK-99 would allow these things to happen at room temperature instead of negative whatever degrees, making them much more useful.

How would a word itself contain its own definition of what or how? If you take the word "corruption" which is similar you can see that is implies something is being made more corrupt, but it fails to say what or how.

I can't see how enshittification is any different. Enshittify, like corrupt needs to have a definition at some point.

There are plenty of companies that effectively cannot use AWS because it is owned by Amazon, and either they or one of their customers is in direct competition with Amazon. For example, if you are a vendor for Walmart, they do not want their data ever landing on AWS.
Yeah, that's where I'm at, too. Authoring web components directly is too low level to be practical. You can easily end up reimplementing a ton of existing framework logic around rerenders, reactivity, event handlers, etc.

And there are libraries that handle all of this for you! But then you have tooling and non-standard syntax that puts you a lot closer to other JS frameworks.

And once you're in that space, the benefits of web components may or may not stack up against all the features and your team's pre-existing knowledge.
If you get a bill you don’t agree with, just don’t pay it.

That is the way. A couple of years back, a physician tried the out-of-network labs scam with me because they try it with everyone. It does like this: you piss in a jar at the intake visit, the physician sends it off to an out of network lab for high-complexity drug screening, and you get presented with a 4-digit bill.

Everyone is innocent, the physician said "you peed in the jar", the insurance says "out of network", and the scam lab says "services were rendered". When you make it clear that any bill will be disputed and attempts to collect will end up in court, they settle for 0 dollars.

They still tried the same on my wife, a few months later. All physicians are scum of the earth.
Interesting video, So it is sad that they did such a terrible job explaining why the the answer is 1/c.

It makes it sound like the bulb is getting full power at 1/c, when it wont. As I understand from further reading, the power will build up over time, and that time depends highly on the shape of your circuit.

How much of a problem is this outside the US? In Japan I get maybe 1 call like this a month (always from a "weird" area code). Meanwhile everyone in the US seems to be constantly getting these calls. Surely other countries also have marks!

Why Do We Wake Around 3am and Dwell on Our Fears?
We found a bug in azure today where our security key was too big and their auth stack failed. They will try to push a fix in two weeks. They're doing their best.
Summary of events so far:

The claim: Room temp (~300K) superconductor exists and we got it!

The replication attempts: The production method is so poorly documented only a fraction of the samples being made shows any interesting properties. And among those interesting ones, results varies. Very few, if any, attempt actually completely shows the entire spectrum of properties and behaviors of a true superconductor at room temperature yet. But those kinds of experiments take time so it isn't an indicator of problem.

My take: It is probably something interesting but not well understood. Best case scenario, the original sample in the Korean lab probably won the synthesis lottery and is actually a true room temp superconductor. Worst case scenario, we got another class of high temp (warmer than liquid nitrogen but cold enough that applications are limited) superconductor but nothing revolutionary since at this point, it is pretty conclusive that there is something interesting with LK-99.

It's certainly possible, but it seems pretty captured already. I'm not sure how much of a blip it is for them.

Definitely a good reason to back up any audible purchases sooner rather than later (as as soon as you buy any future ones!)
An entirely new category of superconductor could well be revolutionary even at this temperature, for several reasons. It could be the first one of a family with variants that go up to room temperature. It could be cheaper to produce or have other desirable properties for commercial applications. And it could lead to advances in theory that would allow prediction of other unknown superconductors.
I'm extremely interested to know what terms AWS or GCP could not provide you that Azure could. That would be an extremely enlightening post.

As someone who has used Azure, AWS, and GCP since their inception but mainly Azure for very unfortunate career choices -- I can assure you Azure has the most problems of any sort you can imagine.

Your MS rep (if you're big enough to have contact with one) will most assuredly be using their checkbook for you guys or your client. I'm not being melodramatic. This isn't even an original opinion or experience (go ahead, look around HN). And it certainly isn't some cultural "M$" backlash as another poster put it.

If this post seems editorial it's because after nearly a decade of this nonsense I'm just simply exasperated, and it greatly confuses me when people who are within the MS ecosystem don't know how bad they have it with Azure. It's basically unacceptable that MS gets away with it.

From AKS to WAF to Cosmos DB take your pick. You will run into issues and you will run into them continually.

Personally with my experience, Azure is not something I could ethically ever recommend to anyone.

I agree with this (though trying is the operative word). It seems a strange moment in time to choose to call the game for Apple though, at a grand total of 0 units shipped and a price point of $3500+tax. It is literally not knowable now in 2023 if they will be able to manage to do what Tesla did, in transitioning from “toy for rich jerks” to “reasonable mass market choice, and we can manufacture them in mass quantities too.” I mean, it’s not even clear yet if the rich jerk set will adopt it.
My team is geographically distributed both across the US and elsewhere in the world.

I wonder if they avoid this specifically because it would make it immediately obvious how much they are able to scan, rather than ad targeting, which just gives a vague sense that they know everything but not in sharp focus like that.

I personally care far less about what Google can see than about what I might accidentally send, it hasn't happened to me, but it could be bad to send a work email to a random person, someone could even be fired if there was a trade secret.

But I can see it upsetting more privacy minded consumers if it wasn't done very carefully, with a big annoying "This was generated in your browser and we do not scan message content" notice.
