This question has been asked with near identical or very similar wording in almost every LK-99 submission I've seen over the last week or so... Is there something botnet-y happening? I find it hard to believe anyone reading similar threads could have missed the numerous answers to this and similarly-formed questions that have been offered lately.
- tkzed49 3y agoIt could be the sheer volume of discussion. I've seen a lot of these posts and this is the first time I've read this question.
- clmay 3y agoMaybe it's because I have been obsessively ensuring that I read every comment on every top thread... Some kind of selection bias could be at play...
- Firmwarrior 3y agoThe top comment on every thread about every new thing on HackerNews is a half-assed debunking of it
- yieldcrv 3y agoI’ve been half assedly following this, not understanding a single word in the papers that keep coming out, not understanding the musings of enthusiasts and professionals and it looks like I know just as much that its a nothing burger, with maybe some sliver of novelty we dont have a superconductor, as expected
- Ballu 3y agoExactly. Almost every thread has this query. And surprisingly its always on the top.
- computerfriend 3y agoAt least nobody has asked about the real-world technology implications in this thread yet.
- s1artibartfast 3y agonow I have to get out my bingo card and ctrl+f "hoverboard" and "maybe purity",
- tyre 3y agoIt’s a natural question when reading about this, like asking why a police officer makes a suspected drunk driver walk a line instead of measuring BAC. Not everyone reads every (or any!) paper and story.
- whimsicalism 3y agoYes, and it is getting a little annoying at this point to be frank.
- declan_roberts 3y agoNot all of us read HN every day or follow each discussion. A lot of people don’t read the comments at all.
- rishav_sharan 3y agoMaybe it is the most natural question which comes to a lay person like me when it comes to superconducting. Not everyone can be as knowledgeable, or in the loop as you are. And I assure you that I am no bot. I acquire sustenance, go into low energy states and have a lifetime warranty like all fellow meatbags.
- carlosbaraza 3y agoThat is exactly what a bot would say... you have to prove you are human by starting a company and making $1M
- clmay 3y agoWait, you got a lifetime warranty? xD
- rishav_sharan 3y agoYep. It gets void when I die
