Good job. Now Kwon is unemployable for the rest of his life, and the other unfortunate co-authors have their reputations tainted, even despite having no intention whatsoever to publish that crap.

@mathoph26 all the observed behaviour can be explained by ferromagnetism, no need for diamagnetism. Still very interesting though, copper and lead showing ferromagnetic properties...

And yet, AI will take over coding. It already can, but most people still have no idea how to use it properly.

Large accelerators are all intetnational projects, with many countries sponsoring.

That's pretty much a prerequisite for any grifter

@puddintame7794 and here is the perfect example of the antiintellectualism

@off6848 copper is even irrelevant here, could have been an insulator. Andrew McCalip just found out that Fe impurities seem to cluster, creating iron bits large enough to levitate the whole sample.

You're skeptical about some science and want to debunk it? Easy. Find solid evidence, publish a peer reviewed paper. Social media is not a place for any meaningful scientific discourse.
3
I still cross the road when I see one of those, just in case.
2
This whole LK-99 debacle is just another demonstration of why peer review is such an important part of the scientific process, and why social media should not be allowed anywhere near it.

@wpelfeta and nobody is using LLMs as a source of truth. They are a source of a direction for precise retrieval. Nobody in a sane mind is using LLMs alone,, without a knowldge base and a logic inference engine.
2
I don't really understand what's the problem with hallucinations. As far as I'm concerned, they're the best feature of LLMs, and without hallucinations we cannot make LLMs generate creative solutions.

Have you heard of the Anton supercomputer? It's quite a typical approach, to use 3D positioning to reduce routing.

We do not need.to understand human intelligence, with all of its flaws. We only have to understand problem solving, and so we do.

What is dark matter and where do socks disappear are proper scientific questions which might have earth-shattering answers. "How to become immortal" is an engineering question that does not depend on discovering some new ground-breaking knowledge, simply a matter of applying the already existing and insanely complex knowledge. So, yes, it's not really a problem that science have stopped discovering new things. The practical applications of the things we already know are decades behind, and we'd better stop and concentrate our effort in actually applying all we already know.

are you insane? Only science can lead to informed and rational decisions. Politics must shut up and listen.

Oh, cold fusion is perfectly possible! You just need some very, very high pressure.

@zefferss acceleration, dummy.

lol what? Some disgusting conspiracy bs nonsense.

The biggest mistake here is assuming that flaturds are human beings and can be reasoned with, while in fact they are rabid animals at most and do not deserve any civility whatsoever.

The real atrocity with 5G is the cost of modules (especially the industrial ones), and there is no indication it'll go down any time soon.

@DemolitionManDemolishes because the court notion of who is an expert is very different from reality, see the Post Office scandal for example.

How could Sabine fall to this LK-99 flux pinning video? It was almost immediately exposed as a hoax, and now the user who posted it admitted the hoax and retracted the video. Also, it was demonstrated that an insulator with inclusions of ferromagnetic can behave just exactly the same way, so there's no suspected diamagnetism here either. I know, disappointing...
1
Look, you simply have no other option than to follow the science - you lack mental faculty to understand the science, and therefore you're not equipped to question it.

@sherriziegel7739 Thanks for a colourful confirmation of my assessment of your intellectual level. Really, you should stay away from having opinions, you keep embarrassing yourself all the time.
1
@sherriziegel7739 Science did not even exist at the time of Galileo.
1
@Zeuskabob1 wrong. See arXiv:2308.03110 - it was demonstrated how an insulator with ferromagnetic inclusions can half-levitate, reproducing all of the behaviors we've seen from LK-99 original and replication efforts so far.
1
@zefferss trying to defend the infefensible. You're so utterly pathetic.
1
The entire Scientific Method is built on a premise of not trusting the scientists.
1
@alexleibovici4834 so is arithmetic. Yet, both are 100% objective. Scientific Method removes people and their bias from the result.
1
@alexleibovici4834 scientific method IS and automaton. An automaton applied by a human is still an automaton. Again, just like mathematics.
1
@alexleibovici4834 that's all you've got? Can you even tie your own shoe laces with this single digit IQ of yours?
1
@sifta7 the infamous EmDrive was such an outright pile of bs that nobody in a sane mind, not for a split second, thought it can be legit. Yet, a few labs joined the replication efforts. Simply because this is the way. This is how science works. Same with LK-99. Reeks of prime bs, but still worth replicating and refuting properly, to bury it once and for all.
1
@wesbaumguardner8829 you do not even understand how science work, filth. You shoukd stay away from having opinions.
1
 @lockwood1976 limited how, exactly?
1
Even the small 8B LLMs are enough to build an AGI. There is no point in scaling models.
1
@MrWizardGG correct. Our imperfect or outright wrong recall is exactly the random seed we need for creativity.
1
@raedwulf61 social sciences, frankly, are very far from becoming real sciences anyway
1
@thekeymaker2289 climate science is a precise.discipline. No margin for error or interpretation.
1
Just like any other believers.

@guest_informant they are the lowest of the low of the regular people.
1
Most certainly not over yet. Lattice? Half of the products out of stock, the remaining ones are 2x the price pre-shortage. Xilinx? Same story. Still nearly impossible to source even simple things like CAN transceivers, more high end switching mode bucks, even LDOs are still scarce...
