Yeah... At best click baity as fuck, at worst a complete scam.

Any time there is a 10x or more in a headline you are 10x or more likely to be right by calling it BS.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 14 points 7 hours ago

Whenever they say X whatever times, I doubt it right away, because they always interpret the statistics in the dumbest ways possible. You have a solar panel that is 28% efficient. There is no way it can be 20x times as efficient, that's just clickbait.

You just fucking wait. Trump is bringing manufacturing to the US. And when that plant opens someday you'll be so sorry you doubted.

[–] BobSentMe@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

I'm sure the foxconn plant in Wisconsin will fire up ANY DAY NOW! drums fingers

This article appeared in my feed just above another article about how China has the world's first operational thorium reactor. Meanwhile, the US is about to fight a civil war over whether vaccination causes measles and stripping away the last of our social programs in order to get our wealthiest people another 2% subsidy.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 14 points 8 hours ago (4 children)

China and Russia worked very hard to get these rich stupid people in power.

It really started in 2016 when US security agencies released a joint report showing Russia was spreading misinformation to help Trump win the election.

Surprisingly, the "liberal tears compilations" and "something about an email server people didn't understand wasn't actually illegal" actually worked and drowned out the warnings from our security agencies.

I don't think China will be any better of a world leader tbh.

I see humanity's future as a boot stepping on a human face forever, unless humanity globally rejects kings, oligarchs, and dictators.

[–] Netux@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Don't forget the genius DNC folk, including HRC thought a pied piper strategy of boosting the circus peanut was a good idea.

If the Russians and Chinese did anything it was just capitalizing on an unforced error by the hubris of the centrist. One again, bernie would have won, but that was more distasteful to the ruling class than fascism.

[–] caffinatedone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Oddly, the DNC’s position on the republican candidate in the circus that was the 2016 primary wasn’t likely all that influential or determinative.

trump figured out that running a political campaign as entertainment and leveraging the power of, well, just lying about everything was possible in the modern media environment. republicans had been working for decades on tilling the ground for an authoritarian that they could manage, but got themselves owned instead. Oops.

Compare russia to the British and consider who is the bigger villain.

Not my future, I will try to die in a way that even an omnipotent AI can't bring back.

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 3 points 7 hours ago

Gonna make sure to bring as many of those fuckers with me as possible.

[–] eleitl@lemm.ee 2 points 6 hours ago

You rely on professional fabrications of misinformation to tell you the truth about who is producing misinformation? Don't fall for crude propaganda. When empires end they do some self-destructive things. It's normal.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 9 points 11 hours ago

Fuck the idiotic Americans that won't bother to immunize, never mind understanding science as a whole.

China scientists

So, Chinese scientists?

[–] gwilikers@lemmy.ml 18 points 8 hours ago
[–] pycorax@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

Probably because is an ethnicity and nationality. There are ethnic Chinese people all over the world and a few countries and regions are made of a majority of ethnic Chinese but are not related to China. Calling them the same thing is playing into the PRC's "all ethnic Chinese pledge their allegiance to China" nonsense.

[–] saimen@feddit.org 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Isn't that true for every (older) country though?

[–] pycorax@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Perhaps but I haven't encountered that myself. I'm ethnic Chinese that's a citizen of another ethnic Chinese majority nation so I've encountered this specific type a lot more.

[–] Netux@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Isreal like that game of pretend. They believe anti zionist Jews are traitors.

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It's a reasonable assumption that someone in China is Chinese.

[–] pycorax@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

The reverse, however, isn't true. It may be somewhat understandable but not entirely reasonable to assume someone who is Chinese is from China which is what I'm trying to say.

[–] realitista@lemm.ee 12 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I think it's a slightly different connotation. "China scientists" infers scientists residing in China while not presuming their ethnicity, while "Chinese scientists" implies their ethnicity but not their location.

[–] essteeyou@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

You literally never hear "America scientists" even if some of them might be from another country. Same with every single other country I can think of, except China.

[–] realitista@lemm.ee 4 points 7 hours ago

US scientists works in the same way.

[–] Mooseford@lemmy.today 18 points 18 hours ago

No they are people who study the China Science.

[–] liquidparasyte@pawb.social 9 points 16 hours ago

Real talk, why is discussion around people and subjects in China so fucking weird?

If it's not referring to the entire population when it only applies to the government or a subset of them as a global "the Chinese" or doing silly shit like "China scientists" everyone's grammatical skills suddenly tank when even broaching a topic even tangential to the PRC.

[–] Etienne_Dahu@jlai.lu 8 points 17 hours ago

No, it's people who study fine tableware.

[–] DasSkelett@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Seriously, for me a "China scientist" is someone doing research on China, like a space scientist would do research on astronomy and similar. But I'm not a native English speaker, so, idk

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Someone doing research on China is a chiologist.

Same as someone doing research on biology is a biologist.

[–] hazl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 8 hours ago

Biology -> biolog -> biologist

China -> chin -> chinist?

Yeah, but endurance. and accuracy. and longevity. How about those?

Link to the actual paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-08839-w

The repro and verification will take time. Months or even years. Don't trust anyone who says it's definitely real or definitely bunk. Time will tell.

Speaking of, did you hear there's a new room temperature super conductor?

Damn. I just pulled all my stock out quantum computing and thru it all into this…

Easy when you have zero

By tuning the “Gaussian length” of the channel, the team achieved two‑dimensional super‑injection, which is an effectively limitless charge surge into the storage layer that bypasses the classical injection bottleneck.

Clickbait article with some half truths. A discovery was made, it has little to do with Ai and real world applications will be much, MUCH more limited than what's being talked about here, and will also likely still take years to come out

AI AI AI AI

Yawn

Wake me up if they figure out how to make this cheap enough to put in a normal person's server.

[–] Zip2@feddit.uk 107 points 1 day ago (10 children)

normal person’s server.

I’m pretty sure I speak for the majority of normal people, but we don’t have servers.

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 2 points 3 hours ago

"Normal person" is a modifier of server. It does not state any expectation of every normal person having a server. Instead, it sets expectation that they are talking about servers owned by normal people. I have a server. I am norm.. crap.
