Why? If they looked at how current tech works then they could easily develop the same tech 10000x faster

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 hours ago

Yeah... At best click baity as fuck, at worst a complete scam.

Any time there is a 10x or more in a headline you are 10x or more likely to be right by calling it BS.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 15 hours ago

Whenever they say X whatever times, I doubt it right away, because they always interpret the statistics in the dumbest ways possible. You have a solar panel that is 28% efficient. There is no way it can be 20x times as efficient, that's just clickbait.

You just fucking wait. Trump is bringing manufacturing to the US. And when that plant opens someday you'll be so sorry you doubted.

I'm sure the foxconn plant in Wisconsin will fire up ANY DAY NOW! drums fingers

This article appeared in my feed just above another article about how China has the world's first operational thorium reactor. Meanwhile, the US is about to fight a civil war over whether vaccination causes measles and stripping away the last of our social programs in order to get our wealthiest people another 2% subsidy.

China and Russia worked very hard to get these rich stupid people in power.

It really started in 2016 when US security agencies released a joint report showing Russia was spreading misinformation to help Trump win the election.

Surprisingly, the "liberal tears compilations" and "something about an email server people didn't understand wasn't actually illegal" actually worked and drowned out the warnings from our security agencies.

I don't think China will be any better of a world leader tbh.

I see humanity's future as a boot stepping on a human face forever, unless humanity globally rejects kings, oligarchs, and dictators.

Don't forget the genius DNC folk, including HRC thought a pied piper strategy of boosting the circus peanut was a good idea.

If the Russians and Chinese did anything it was just capitalizing on an unforced error by the hubris of the centrist. One again, bernie would have won, but that was more distasteful to the ruling class than fascism.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

Oddly, the DNC’s position on the republican candidate in the circus that was the 2016 primary wasn’t likely all that influential or determinative.

trump figured out that running a political campaign as entertainment and leveraging the power of, well, just lying about everything was possible in the modern media environment. republicans had been working for decades on tilling the ground for an authoritarian that they could manage, but got themselves owned instead. Oops.

Not my future, I will try to die in a way that even an omnipotent AI can't bring back.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

Gonna make sure to bring as many of those fuckers with me as possible.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

You rely on professional fabrications of misinformation to tell you the truth about who is producing misinformation? Don't fall for crude propaganda. When empires end they do some self-destructive things. It's normal.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

This is observable reality.

You should pay attention

Compare russia to the British and consider who is the bigger villain.

Fuck the idiotic Americans that won't bother to immunize, never mind understanding science as a whole.

No. We don't want them to breed...

China scientists

So, Chinese scientists?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 17 hours ago
[–] [email protected] 8 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

Probably because is an ethnicity and nationality. There are ethnic Chinese people all over the world and a few countries and regions are made of a majority of ethnic Chinese but are not related to China. Calling them the same thing is playing into the PRC's "all ethnic Chinese pledge their allegiance to China" nonsense.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't that true for every (older) country though?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

Perhaps but I haven't encountered that myself. I'm ethnic Chinese that's a citizen of another ethnic Chinese majority nation so I've encountered this specific type a lot more.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago

Isreal like that game of pretend. They believe anti zionist Jews are traitors.

I think it's a slightly different connotation. "China scientists" infers scientists residing in China while not presuming their ethnicity, while "Chinese scientists" implies their ethnicity but not their location.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

You literally never hear "America scientists" even if some of them might be from another country. Same with every single other country I can think of, except China.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago

US scientists works in the same way.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

No they are people who study the China Science.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Real talk, why is discussion around people and subjects in China so fucking weird?

If it's not referring to the entire population when it only applies to the government or a subset of them as a global "the Chinese" or doing silly shit like "China scientists" everyone's grammatical skills suddenly tank when even broaching a topic even tangential to the PRC.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

No, it's people who study fine tableware.

Link to the actual paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-08839-w

The repro and verification will take time. Months or even years. Don't trust anyone who says it's definitely real or definitely bunk. Time will tell.

Speaking of, did you hear there's a new room temperature super conductor?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Damn. I just pulled all my stock out quantum computing and thru it all into this…

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

Easy when you have zero

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, but endurance. and accuracy. and longevity. How about those?

And price and maye write more than 1 single bit

By tuning the “Gaussian length” of the channel, the team achieved two‑dimensional super‑injection, which is an effectively limitless charge surge into the storage layer that bypasses the classical injection bottleneck.

Yawn

Wake me up if they figure out how to make this cheap enough to put in a normal person's server.

[–] [email protected] 112 points 1 day ago (6 children)

normal person’s server.

I’m pretty sure I speak for the majority of normal people, but we don’t have servers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

"Normal person" is a modifier of server. It does not state any expectation of every normal person having a server. Instead, it sets expectation that they are talking about servers owned by normal people. I have a server. I am norm.. crap.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Yeah, when you're a technology enthusiast, it's easy to forget that your average user doesn't have a home server - perhaps they just have a NAS or two.

(Kidding aside, I wish more people had NAS boxes. It's pretty disheartening to help someone find old media and they show a giant box of USB sticks and hard drives. In a good day. I do have a USB floppy drive and a DVD drive just in case.)
