This comes accross as very passive-aggressive. Researchers come to a conclusion and make a paper, this is exactly how it is done. Others can try to replicate their results, the paper is very explicit with what they've done.

But this is exactly the quiet please reproduce? It's a preprint posted to arxiv, with a very easy to follow material synthesis process in the supplemental materials section?

It's very common to post papers to arxiv while at the same time submitting the paper to a journal.

The synthesis section honestly looks very simple, I would assume a simple ceramic kiln could be used? You just need PbO, PbSO4, Cu, and P powders.

Not necessarily. If this material is legit, this proves that room temperature superconductors can exist. If it works in this material, others might also work. Eventually it may lead to a material that can be manufactured cheaply enough. The

Superconducting power transmission cables solves the power storage problem of renewable energy sources. We'd just make a global energy grid, and the sunny side powers the dark side.

AFAIK there aren't any comercially deployed wave generators, probably because they would have too many moving parts.

I don't think there are very many places that pumped hydro can be built, where it hasn't been built. You also need quite the significant height difference for it to be meaningfull.

Lol imagine your IDE becoming addicted to smoking, and refusing to auto-complete or save files before you buy it more virtual cigarettes.

There’s a reason new houses get built with geo based heat pumps in Finland. This enables your hot water heater to use the same circuit to heat water - that decreases your hot water bill to around a third, even in winter as the necessary hea

Air source heat pumps have worked well at -20c for a few decades now over her ein Finland. Not sure what type of chinesium grade heatpumps you have over there in the US.

It's just the Yanks that have subsidised natural gas in many states, and a messed up energy infrastructure that gives electricity prices in the same range as what we have in Europe while being at war.

An A/C is a heat pump. Stop trying to change existing terminology

There's lots to unpack here why this isn't workable at scale. 1) Renewable energy product still has a cost associated with it, even if it is at times, excess. 2) That excess capacity, and the times when there's more energy pr

Especially for these type of simple syntax questions that autocomplete or copilot isn’t getting. It’s so so quick to ask ChatGPT for the answer, rather than finding the documentation for the thing you’re looking for and parsing it.

I guess a lot depends on your developer costs, a docker in e.g. GCPs cloud run costs peanuts compared to a devs salary per month. IMO the less you need to code on top of your actual business logic functions - the better off you are for smal

I'm not so sold on that idea, a lot of subreddits were built with love and care. Not sociopathy, apathy, and sadism. Subreddits where the moderators often behave against the overall wishes of the community usually don't end well.

One guy did, he got sued by OceanGate and withdrew his complaint as he didn't wanna spend his life being litigated against.

I think he is one of these typical narcissistic and possibly sociopathic CEOs who who don't think they can do any wrong and that they are always correct.

You’re right on the money but I think what you’re missing is people are using lambda functions not just to run some image resizing function, but as their entire backend. That’s the part that’s being critiqued.

I think this is a pretty naïve viewpoint - just look at what the mods of e.g. /r/iama announced today. On social network websites, the vast majority of people are only lurkers, a relatively few people commenting, even fewer people
