https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/03/room-temperature-superconductor-works-at-lower-pressures/ https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/03/room-temperature-sup... Good article that contextualises the results and concerns about the lab that published these results.

I hate these websites that load an auto play video with no user interaction.

  Which website do you mean? There is no video on that Ars Technica article and the original article just has a standard YouTube video player with no autoplay.

    Ars is playing a video automatically when I open the page.

      Is that ad because I don’t see a video as part of the article.

  How do you do that? I thought browsers don't play anything these days until you click on something.

    I believe the rule is not to play until clicked, for videos with sound. However, for videos that don't have sound, they are allowed to play at page-load. Also, due to this functionality, sites now have a sound-less video first play and then switch to a version with sound (faking "un-muting") when clicked. This does have the nice side-effect of eliminating those really annoying ads that used to play at full blast whenever I forgot to mute my laptop's sound. (Nonetheless, I still reflexively turn my laptop's speakers down to 5% when I am not using them after getting burned so many times in public.)

    I thought so too, but when I load that site there's a video playing right in the middle of it. Maybe mobile browsers consider any scrolling as an interaction or something?
