It's like temu. 100x discount.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 20 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] 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

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] 3 points 20 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.

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

I talked to like 50 people today and all of the people said they were starting manufacturing plants tomorrow and they'll be fully functional Tuesday around 3:15.

I started mine earlier and I've already done manufacturing 3 times today. It's really easy. By this time tomorrow I'll have a couple more and they'll all be winning manufacturing.

Tariffs gave me the ability to finally believe in myself. Tariffs have increased my stamina in bed, given me a full head of hair again, and since I started manufacturing plant yesterday I've dropped 50 pounds.

No? Oh, that's a shame. I was hoping for some improvement in the world, but a random person on the internet said it wasn't possible without giving any reasons at all. Oh well.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

No it's literally impossible without bypassing the speed of light and/or the size of atoms.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Easy, instead of developing the technology themselves they just copy it and claim they developed it 10000 times faster.

It's a play on the original title.

China scientists

So, Chinese scientists?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

(acts confused in French)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day 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] 6 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 20 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.

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] 5 points 1 day 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] 6 points 1 day ago

US scientists works in the same way.

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

No they are people who study the China Science.

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.

They finally stole the French édriseur technology I see

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?

Yawn

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

[–] [email protected] 121 points 1 day ago (10 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] 4 points 22 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.
