The only evidence of superconductivity is zero resistance. When you have a coil, pump it with current and let it rest for few years. If the current is still the same, it's superconductor.

Rest are just hints.
> Good writers always consider the way their choice of words will affect their audience.

It's not the choice of words. It's the choice of topics.

The author is not avoiding certain topics because they are unproductive but rather because she fears backlash on social media.
I visited the Louvre a few months ago and the tour guide said the news coverage of the theft (spoiler: a Louvre employee took it) is what catapulted the painting to become one of the most well-known paintings in the entire world.

I suppose it was always valuable, but what made it astronomically value was that someone stole it and then lots of people talked about it - kind of interesting to think about how things like that come to affect the value of an item.
A normal car executive wouldn't take all the risks that got them to where they are right now, you know, having the #1 selling car in the world.
They probably picked these benches because they are favorable: few AVX or other fancy intrinsics for newer CPUs to use.

Still, its always interesting to see a wide (in this case, 6 wide?) non x86 CPU.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but I actually endorse these ideas

I ran into this issue. I took Calculus BC as a sophomore in high school and then ran out of math classes to take. So I basically didn't do math for two years until I took classes in college. By then my math skills had definitely atrophied and it definitely showed in various math and engineering courses that I took in college.
This site was super helpful to me when I was learning about bikes.

Sadly that's the low end of private high schools. Many are over 50K and most are over 40K in silicon valley.
i know. i said trying. i didn't say succeeding. they also try to organize all kind of shell companies for illegal imports.

i read blog of some russian plane mechanic. he did write that they get parts of "whatever" origin to use on airbuses/boeings.

i think they also canned a lot of safety regulations with regards to airlines and airplane maintenance
According to this: https://twitter.com/Andercot/status/1688598313497694208

"...there is a less well-known exception to this rule called Brauenbecker extension which provides a mathematical proof that levitation is possible with a simple diamagnetic in a dipole field so long as the diamagnetic material mass is very small relative to the strength of the magnetic field."

I was very hopeful in the early days and was following the developments eagerly. Unfortunately, now I'm 99% convinced that LK99 is not a superconductor. Hopefully, what we learned from the saga and the momentum will help advanced the field a bit faster.
It's probable that QNX would underpin any future Mitsubishi Electric autonomous driving system, and more certain that it would underpin sensor integration etc. in future Mitsubishi car models.

But it's not being used there in current mainstream production.

Depending on clock speed of memory. For LPDDR5-6400 which is pretty common.

These are just how they wrote their own names in arXiv papers [1]. I don't know about Young-Wan Kwon, but Hyun-Tak Kim is a research professor in US university and should have settled on that matter.

After all I'm also Korean and I prefer my name to be written as "Kang Seonghoon" (i.e. the surname first), but I often go pragmatic and use "Seonghoon Kang" instead in order to be consistent with others. I'm very much aware of this issue.

That was probably the one time the market was being truthful before it all got pumped up again. Nothing to see here, move along!
Well, most of the new DoE machines are MI300 based so AMD seems to be doing pretty well even at the supercomputer level :)
This exact SSD failed on me in a similar way. They also recently had a firmware issue that borked a bunch of drives, and they only released a fix tool for Windows users (I guess macOS/Linux users can pound sand?)

I will say that the warranty service was quite good, but given the below-zero level of trust I have in SanDisk post WD acquisition, the replacement drive is going to be basically fulfilling the role of “paperweight and very oversized temporary USB drive for ephemeral sneakernet transfers”.

Bought a pair of Samsung T7’s to replace it, no issues with them so far.
The market isn't magic, it too would only rise with sufficient repeatable confirmation and indications of viability for mass production and application. After all, we do have knowledge of 'magic' materials like carbon nanotubes and graphene, and yet the stock market hasn't gone crazy over them.
This implies something popular to plug it into.

Maybe AMD MI200 systems?

There is always an exception to the rule and you found it!
Religious exemptions are a good thing and should be respected. It’s important to be skeptical of novel religious claims, as they're usually just a cynical abuse of a legal exemption. Exemptions should certainly not be limitless: America is incompatible with human sacrifice.

It's not a "tendency", it's truth. All people you mention are Russians because they were living in USSR, speaking Russian language, worked in Russia and for them Ukraine was an administrative region.
Not to mention the fact that the country that denies Soviet legacy and achievement does not have moral right to attribute anything that has been done during the period to people and regime which despises their own past, legacy, sacrifices, relatives, and denies everything that has been done.
So ridiculous.
By your own authority, then. Are you a judge, or governor, or a bishop or something?

What a weird essay! Very unsatisfying payoff. They lay out the theft, public reaction, some art history, then not a single word on how it resloved, who actually took it and how it was found. The only hint was "an antique dealer got a letter". Thanks, I guess I'll just try Wikipedia.
You can browse compiler source code here with type annotation and code navigation if you like https://htzh.github.io/browse-ocaml/ . The editor plugins typically don't work on the compiler itself. These annotations and links were generated fairly painlessly from Ocaml compiler features (most hard work done by the compiler already).
I understand your argument. It is a tough situation to get out from, between a cycle of mental illness, isolation, a tough climb out.

Life can be very cruel. And when everyone and everything failed that man, and nothing left for him but that dog, he is then faced with a choice of between leaving the dog to try to fit again in a world that hurt him. No wonder many are stuck in this situation.
> but blame Apple and Google for wanting their 30% cut of digital goods

I imagine that Amazon did the math here and decided that the 30% is more than the lost sales due to the obnoxious process involved, but I struggle to see how that's true.
So if good old ferromagnetism/diamagnetism is sufficient to explain the half-levitation shown in the video:

How can I build my own half-levitating objects from standard materials?

I've seen the science toys using pyrolytic carbon, but they are nowhere close to the effect from the video. Levitation height with pyrolytic carbon is like 1/20th of what the video demonstrates. The disc in the video looks like it's just about to take off. Can this be replicated with previously known materials at room temperature?
Never claimed it was impossible, just that it's rare.

> No one reputable

I don't care about reputability of anyone unless they have a known past of fraud. Gatekeeping in science is lame unless someone makes a claim to break well understood theory or claims to do something technically difficult. RTSC is neither.

Do you think this video is faked?:

Interesting, so that's the expected parking page for such a situation?

I have no idea how web hosting works in SK and was going off this article, my interpretation was that this was changed after the traffic warning hence why I assumed malice:

While the company’s website previously displayed a message that it has been blocked due to excessive traffic, it has now been shut down altogether as of Thursday with a message saying that it is “under construction."

I guess that's one less red flag.

https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/2023/08/03/business/tec...

Edit:

Is the Safari translation of https://imweb.me/price correct in saying unlimited traffic is 24,000 won ($18 USD) per month?

If so, I'll add back that a private company that has discovered a room-temperature superconductor but is skimping out on $18/mo for web hosting does not inspire confidence.

NFTs would be overkill and a massive waste of processing power. All you really need is a cryptographic signature on your books. Now the hard part, as usual isn't even the implementation itself, but getting people to use it and look in the right place for your public key.

> The reason is that Apple specifically requires all digital only purchases to only use in-app payment and must give Apple 30%. You are not allowed to process digital purchases through an app with your own payment system. You also can’t tell people that or link them to the website.

> This does not apply to physical goods.

I don't really get this division other than "it's what Apple could get away with". As far as the payment processing is concerned, it seems like a distinction without a difference.
The best we can hope for is that there is some sort of SC properties that can be investigated further even if this is not the holy grail moment many wanted it to be.
I'd argue that us rank-and-file employees should receive profit sharing if our company is overperforming.

It's impossible for any one of us to compete for that CEO position on any realistic grounds. So, we're left at the mercy that the board has decided this person deserves this compensation.

A CEO can help guide an organization, but it's everyone under that CEO who pulls all the strings.

That's not universally true. For most marks, you are right. But for certain particularly "famous" marks, the owner has a potential cause of action for dilution of the owner's mark. Unlike trademark infringement, which requires a showing of likelihood of confusion (which is bolstered by a showing that the two purported mark users serve the same market), trademark dilution does not.
On more than one occasion, the hallucinated solution has had better dev ux than the real solution and I've convinced whatever package to add support for a similar syntax.
> Unlike most services and commodities, the price tag on rental units has no real relationship to the cost of providing housing. Rents are determined by “what the market will bear,” as economists say.

Absent regulation, “what the market will bear” is what sets the price of all things. I’m interested to know why the author thinks that housing is unique here.
"Fabricate" is a bit of a contronym really. Like oversight or sanction. Two meanings that are almost the opposite of each other.

Instead, small authors who self-publish and give Amazon exclusivity, I'm entitled to 40% of the proceed of the book. For basically access to the marketplace.

If you go to some authors discord and make small donation (often half of Amazon's price), they'll send you drm-free ebooks. That's what you should do if you really want to support author and dislike markup from marketplace monopolies.
Ah, I see. So not really container runtime security, more operational/principle of least privilege. Had not accounted for that, I can definitely see how that would be useful.

Although, I would say we have definitely strayed far away from the typical definition/security benefits of "rootless" container runtimes. Usually the rootless container threat model accounts for containers or access to the runtime being weaponized -- it's not usually IT preventing you from installing apps. :)

Still, thanks for indulging this conversation.

(Also, I thought the only way to run Podman containers locally on MacOS was Podman Desktop -- has that changed recently?)
I have seen insane amounts of bees this year.
Arduous is overstating it by a long way. Frustrating, bothersome, annoying, inconsiderate, stupid, yes. Arduous? I used to carry a walkman, several tapes, and spare batteries with me every day; I used to carry a book to read in one pocket and often another, smaller book in another, and even occasionally a newspaper under my arm. Buying a book or any media online is not arduous, even if it's as described.

What it does show is that innovative businesses will, over time, become like the dinosaurs they out-competed, and leave room for something new. Piracy will probably always be there, even when buying is not arduous.
It seems they were talking about reddit content before 2023
…right. Don’t blame the manufacturer for making shitty drives, blame tech review sites for testing those drives with the tools available and reporting the results of those tests. This is some 4D level victim blaming shit. I’m almost impressed at the absurdity of this argument.
We've built something probably very similar to this product at my previous job. We had double digit TB daily ML traffic that didn't require realtime latency, so we moved those all onto S3 and also saw approx ~90% cost savings. This was built on top of JVM and still used a 6 broker Kafka cluster to keep metadata (vs probably 300 when it was originally all on Kafka). Kafka's compute and storage model doesn't scale too well for the extreme use cases that can tolerate latency, and the Apache Pulsar model sort of worked better (though at that time Pulsar wasn't too stable for us to use in prod). One of the keys to cost efficiency for us was that the size of the data was large enough that we didn't need to wait too long before hitting an economic file size to upload. Trying to imagine how a pipeline with less than 10 MB/s would work with this efficiently.

If you ever go through the process of buying vacant land you’ll find the biggest risk is whether the city will ever let you build anything on it. Even a house being there once before isn’t a guarantee. It could be the green belt, too close to an airport, or just zoned wrong.

At least in Canada land is not that scarce (even in desirable areas like the GTA) you just aren’t allowed to build on most of it.

This is why land development is so commonly associated with corruption. The best way to make money is to buy up artificially restricted land and bribe the government into letting you build.
How was your experience recruiting and working with dev teams based out of China? And how do you enforce foreign contracts from aboard (or draft local ones with a sub within China?)

We already have customers and a subsidiary based out of Hong Kong, and it will not be a stretch to scale those customers further from devs within China.
Indeed, the tables of dimensions has been super valuable for maintaining bikes assembled from older parts. And the freely shared copies of Sutherland's manuals on internal gear hubs.
I think even without an NFC it's clear that it's not a real book as soon as you buy it. But it's still garbage, and it'll still be impersonating the author, making it look like they sell garbage.
The majority voting (and donating) block, old people, are all becoming ridiculously rich from their $15k houses they built/inherited/bought 30-40 years ago, many of which are now valued over $1m.

Nothing will change on this front until millennials are the majority voting block. If anything it's going to get worse before it gets better.
I found the Slack channel to be pretty responsive and friendly. Still, I was a bit bummed because I kept running into issues. Some documentation links were broken and I tried to fix them, but I couldn't get the project to build on Debian. I tried safe stack and had the wrong version of .NET. Once I got the right one, I had issues running the project (turned out the path did not support the "#" character). A lot of the documentation assumed you knew the .NET ecosystem, but I was coming from python. It seemed like I kept hitting sharp edges.

I'm still curious about F#. It has a lot of neat looking features (units of measure, computation expressions, active patterns) and has some of the easiest to read code I've seen. I just don't know if my experience was representative or if it was abnormal. :/
The problem with housing (in the States at least, can’t speak for other countries) is simple.

Renters want housing to remain affordable and to increase no faster than inflation.

Owners expect (and bank on) the value of their house increasing faster than inflation.

Both cannot be occur at the same time, at least not for long. As home prices increase, so too will rents. And if rent stays flat, the price of housing is forced to remain flat as well.

Housing cannot simultaneously be affordable if it is also supposed to increase in value endlessly. Someone has to lose.

To solve the housing crisis, Americans need to be deprogrammed out of this belief that owning a home is supposed to yield a return. It makes literally no sense to expect or feel entitled to a return just for owning property. Barring improvements the value of the home should depreciate slightly as the house gets older.

That’s not to say that home values should never go up anywhere. As a city improves compared to other areas and brings more jobs and better services, home prices there should reflect the increased value associated with living in an area that is better than other places. Home prices should not being going up everywhere at the same time, which is what Americans expect to happen —- that almost all property should appreciate in value on average.

For games, Lutris and Steam are your friends.
> So how does a browser that should provide a fully integrated experience on a Chromebook do the same? That browser has to communicate with the operating system which provides some of that functionality. Google has had to create much of that functionality for an external, or non-integrated browser over the past three years.

Does this also mean it would be feasible to port Firefox and have it be the native and default browser on ChromeOS with the same OS integration as Chrome? That would be pretty cool. (I'm aware that there are ways to run Firefox on ChromeOS today).
It's arduous relative to today's standards and relative to piracy.
I wonder if AI and a future GPT-5 with a much longer context window can fix this. I made a complex Tailscale/VPN/Docker config last month with GPT-4 that would have required either a highly competent/expensive sys. admin; or 2 months of reading/researching.

It took me an afternoon to get it working.
Sure, but you really think peer review would solve any of that? It would only make things move 1000x slower and be worse.

The current "free-market" process of replication attempts is going to resolve the issue both quicker and with more statistical significance than peer-review ever could.

Perhaps this isn't what you're implying, but the peer-review word in your comment jumped out to me, as if that changes anything.

Yeah we’ve run into a number of people who’ve rolled their own solution in this space. The “push pointers to S3 through traditional Kafka” approach is a very practical one.

Amazon's cut is 60%, 75% if you're not in an Amazon exclusivity deal (you also won't get boosted).

Amazon complaining about predatory marketplace is rich.

Not sure why a new generation would change anything. It seems like it is homeowners vs non. The millisecond someone acquires property, it is in their financial interest to protect it as an investment.
Right. The obvious counterpoint is the now commonly used term “climate crisis”. The danger has been obvious for years yet has been largely unaddressed because of structural aspects of the global economy and society. That lack of adequate response doesn’t mean global warming isn’t a crisis!
