You can use superconductors to create Josephson junctions, which can be used for standard logic operations (but also useful in quantum computers). These junctions are much more efficient and much faster than transistors.

This particular superconductor will not be useful for transmitting power because the effect breaks down at very low current limits in this material, but it will be very useful for studying superconductors.

So contrary to what you said, this will in fact not be useful for power transmission, but could be useful for CPUs and GPUs, and could lead to computers that are hundreds or thousands of times faster and more efficient than what we have today.

To be fair this material may never see a practical use though.

One of the things that weighs me down is posts making me dwell on the things that weigh me down.

Oh nice. An entire language that is write-only.

Anyone who isn’t at least mildly interested that you know Morse code isn’t someone you want to know :-)

Good filter technique.

No. I only use Android as my PC via AR glasses. Is there even any antivirus software for Android? Probably, but I don’t care I guess. Never had a problem.

Creating a new sub so I’m a moderator brought Boost back to life. Maybe that will help here?

FYI, you are able to edit titles on the fediverse in case you want to the missing word.

I’ve just been sorting my comments by highest score and replacing a dozen or so each day with something like “-> fediverse”. So far none have been restored. Most of the lower scored comments don’t have value to anyone anyway so I’m just ordering by most impact until I get bored.

Not participating isn’t the only choice.

On days I’m feeling particularly petty I go into discussions and vote down the good comments and vote up the bad ones just to make the signal to noise ratio worse. Yes, I’m that petty.

If you make it to wherever you’re going, please let us know the story!

My take on it was that it was just flag you can set to openly identify the account as a bot, but nothing to prevent either a human or bot from lying. There’s bot disclosure laws in progress in the EU and California in some form, so it may be future proofing, too.

Yeah, I just signed up to lemmy after using kbin for a couple of days. The problem described is really annoying.

yes and only responded to questions that vaguely related to the prepared answers they had. It was more a press briefing than an AMA.

It isn’t just about stopping genes being expressed. It can also cause otherwise inactive genes to be expressed.

But also, some imprinting behaviour comes from brain development and is not directly related to epigenetics.

But you can also have multiple subs on reddit for the same topic. e.g. AI and ArtificialIntelligence. People choose the best one and they either stand or fall based on merit. Things will settle down.

Don’t sign up to lemmy.ml or you’ll need to sign up again on a new instance when they get defederated. Tankies. I guess a blind eye is being turned right now because numbers are important for survival atm, but I wouldn’t consider it a future-proof instance.

Yes this is exactly what happened with the freenode -> libera split. Although we entirely lost some good people and the community was smaller, the reduction in toxicity made it all worthwhile. The type of people who defend reddit on this are not the type of people we want anyway.

This is the first real chance we’ve had to break the chains on corporate social media. We should all strive to make this work for the betterment of everyone in the longer term.

Much the same happened with the Slashdot -> soylent split but the community was already so small by then it had no chance of thriving. We don’t need a huge chunk of reddit to survive and thrive though.

It seems that federation is working on kbin, but not lemmy, so you will see lemmy posts on kbin, but not vice versa. It’ll be sorted soon enough. It’s just a bit annoying because I’ve replied to several lemmy posts and only now realise they won’t be seeing them yet.

kbin.social <- take the easy path. Fight me!

Yes, it’s working again.

And since we’re fediversed, in kbin go to magazines, enter your search term. It will search across the fediverse.
