Hungry Cat Nonogram uses a kind of numbering system that will really annoy you if you're coming from a different nonogram app.

I wonder if this has the same anti-stalking mechanisms that AirTags have.

Have you ever had friend requests from a "clone"? An actual IRL friend of yours, but it's a scam duplicate of their profile. It's not always immediately obvious if this isn't a friend you interact with regularly, li

Spelling challenges are always going to be inherently difficult for a token-based LM. It doesn't actually "see" letters. It's not a good test for performance (unless this is actually the kind of question you're goin

I know taxes are complicated, but can someone explain how a complete loss today is financially better than a smaller loss* over a longer period? * or possibly a profit, but no one will ever know.

There are some benefits. The article that we're commenting about, for example.

Did actually switch to that. Surprisingly still a lot less performant than the Fortran code, but at least workable.

I am currently working on a project trying to convert some numerical linear algebra from Fortran90 into Python and was frankly shocked at how much more performant some relatively naive Fortran is, even over using Numpy/Scipy for matr

No matter how expensive it is, on a short enough timescale it is always going to be cheaper to use "renewable" propane over retrofitting to be electric.
523.
by aqme28 3y ago
What? This is a thread about a new technology that is a proposed commercializable "renewable propane" generator. This whole conversation is a hypothetical. Restricting the discussion to only existing technology makes no sense.

> Are there use cases where we must burn propane because we can’t replace that process with electricity? That's not relevant in the short term. There are so many things using propane right now and it's a lot easier send them &q

I disagree with that framing even more. "Asking" is not "making demands." Guess culture people only think that asking is a demand, because that's Guess culture.

Important to note that this method only works on Hermitian (usually AKA symmetric) and positive-definite matrices, both of which are often pretty big qualifiers.

That looks and acts like pyrolitic graphite over a magnet array. If that institute weren’t also pseudonymous I’d maybe believe them a little more.

I've been wondering why the market didn't really respond to this. It dropped a lot on the previous articles where the Tc was around 110K, so I'm curious why it has stayed relatively flat here.

People aren't certain it's real because they're having so much difficulty producing chunks of it. You can't measure superconductivity in a powder.

The bulk cost of this material is not going to be the problem with commercialization. The ingredients and labor aren't very expensive. The problem is that no one has found a process to consistently make chunks bigger than like a rice g

They claim that only a small part of that sample is superconducting, and that's why it shows that unusual behavior.

by aqme28 3y ago
Or the opposite. I successfully replicate in my lab, but the price on Yes is high, so I make a post about how there definitely isn't superconductivity, buy up all the Yes, and then say "Woops I made a mistake. It really does super
