This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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.
Which episode of Star Trek is this from?
The one where there's a problem with the holodeck.
Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?
It's the one where Barclay gets obsessed with his Holodeck program.
I don't think so. I just rewatched it. It's the one where Data finds out something to make himself more human. Picard tells him something profound and moving.
They're just copying the description of the turbo encabulator.
AI AI AI AI
Yawn
Wake me up if they figure out how to make this cheap enough to put in a normal person's server.
normal person’s server.
I’m pretty sure I speak for the majority of normal people, but we don’t have servers.
Ikr...Dude thinks we're restaurants or something.
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.)
Hello fellow home labber! I have a home built xpenology box, proxmox server with a dozen vm’s, a hackentosh, and a workstation with 44 cores running linux. Oh, and a usb floppy drive. We are out here.
I also like long walks in Oblivion.
Man oblivion walks are the best until a crazy woman comes at you trying to steal your soul with a fancy sword
You... you don't? Surely there's some mistake, have you checked down the back of your cupboard? Sometimes they fall down there. Where else do you keep your internet?
Appologies, I'm tired and that made more sense in my head.
Well obviously the internet is kept in a box, and it’s wireless. The elders of the internet let me borrow it occasionally.

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?
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.
Fuck the idiotic Americans that won't bother to immunize, never mind understanding science as a whole.
Too bad the US can't import any of it.
they can if they pay 6382538% tariffs.
or was it 29403696%?
“These chips are 10,000 times faster, therefore we will increase our tariffs to 10,100%!”
China scientists
So, Chinese scientists?
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.
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.
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.
No, it's people who study fine tableware.
Seriously, for me a "China scientist" is someone doing research on China, like a space scientist would do research on astronomy and similar. But I'm not a native English speaker, so, idk
Brother, have you heard of buses? Even INSIDE cpus/socs bus speeds are a limitation. Also i fucking hate how the first thing people mention now is how ai could benefit from a jump in computing power.
Edit: I havent dabbled that much in high speed stuff yet but isnt the picosecond range so fast that the capacitance of simple traces and connectors between chips influence the rising and falling edge of chips?
That's pretty much my understanding. Most of the advancements happened in memory speeds are related to the physical proximity of the memory and more efficient transmission/decoding.
GDDR7 chips for example are packed as close as physically possible to the GPU die, and have insane read speeds of 28 Gbps/pin (and a 5090 has a 512-bit bus). Most of the limitation is the connection between GPU and RAM, so speeding up the chips internally 1000x won't have a noticeable impact without also improving the memory bus.
Clickbait article with some half truths. A discovery was made, it has little to do with Ai and real world applications will be much, MUCH more limited than what's being talked about here, and will also likely still take years to come out
Yeah, but endurance. and accuracy. and longevity. How about those?
And price and maye write more than 1 single bit
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.
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.
Wow, finally graphene has been cracked. Exciting times for portable low-energy computing
Is that fast enough to put an LLM in swap and have decent performance?
Note that this in theory speaks to performance of a non volatile memory. It does not speak to cost.
We already have a faster than NAND non volatile storage in phase change memory . It failed due to expense.
If this thing is significantly more expensive even than RAM, then it may fail even if it is everything it says it is. If it is at least as cheap as ram, it'll be huge since it is faster than RAM and non volatile.
Swap is indicated by cost, not by non volatile characteristics.
