The original paper is called “Excitons in the fractional quantum Hall effect”

If you know what that means, it’s more clear and less misleading than the phys.org headline.

If you don’t know what that means, it’s a novel combination of two known properties of materials—excitons and the fqhe.

The buzz appears to be that it leads to some weird excitations/quasiparticles that have non-bosonic statistics. Namely, anyons and fermionic excitations can appear (the former is a known phenomenon, but the latter has only been theorized—a fact that honestly surprised me). This loosely relates to some types of quantum computers, but in all honesty, I would expect this paper to only be interesting to those in condensed matter physics, and I’m not entirely sure why it was picked up and turned into a thing.

This is a forum. If you don’t get the joke, you can ask and have it explained to you. Most memes are some form of in-joke regardless, so you often have to do a bit of learning the first time.

What was off about your first comment was recognizing it for what it was before proceeding to miss the joke entirely.

What was off about your replies was trying to compare it to the Scottish coat of arms; if you know the Scottish coa, you probably wouldn’t associate it with piss yellow and white. If you don’t know it, you wouldn’t mix them up anyway.

It’s pretty. By default, even. Floorp is customizable, but many (most) people want a tool that works directly out of the box, and if it looks good while doing it, then it will be more popular.

The dev advertised it on Reddit, then when people complained about issues, you would see a response from them along the lines of “fixed,” which showed responsiveness, and I think that gained loyalty before the product was ready to be released.

Deep learning doesn’t stop at llms. Honestly, language isn’t a great use case for them. They are—by nature—statistics machines, so if you have a fuck load of data to crunch, they can work very quickly to find patterns. The patterns might not always be correct, but if they are easy to check, then it might be faster to use them and modify the result compared to doing it all yourself.

I don’t know what this person does, though, and it will depend on the specifics of the situation for how they are used.

It would probably have to be updated in each place it is used, and these articles are unlikely to be frequently updated. It’s only had that name for a few years.

Pinpoint the 5 second interval*

It looks like a research group found a security vulnerability that they then used to find a single common key in all of the cards made by this company. The second part here is a reasonable concern, but the article calls the vulnerability a backdoor in the beginning, which I think is fairly misleading.

It (along with Stokes’ theorem (they’re actually the same theorem in different dimensions)) helps yield Maxwell’s equations; specifically, if you want to change the flux of the electric field through a surface (right hand side), you need to change the amount of charge it contains (the source of the divergence on the left hand side). In other words, if you have the same charge contained by a surface, it will have the same flux going through it, which means you can change the surface however you wish and the math will still be the same. Physicists use this to reduce some complex problems into problems on a sphere or a box—objects with nice, easily calculable symmetries.

I’m not 100% sure, but I think anyone with that code can use your dns profile

Maxwell’s equations have already been rewritten into the Dirac equation. Magnetic monopoles are quantum weird and would not show up in undergrad textbooks regardless

Looking this up, I found a bunch of stuff from last year talking about it and only the yahoo source from the past couple days. I also found this:

https://earthsky.org/sun/sun-news-activity-solar-flare-cme-aurora-updates/

Which suggests no m9.8 flare recently

Or is it exactly like saturns rings but we see the whole ring bent round the top because a black hole bends the light around so we can see it?

Hit the nail pretty hard on the head there

It’s (shorthand)[teeline.online]. It says “prc(t)ml” with the p being in the obvious spot (though it should be just a downward line), the r is the diagonal line after it, the c is the little curl, the t should be more pronounced, but it should be a horizontal line slightly above the rest, the m is a concave-down swoosh, and the l is the final curl. No vowels b/c they’re largely redundant.

70-100 years ago, so not really

The SM is half the puzzle. The other half being Einstein’s field equations (which, despite the beautiful notation, are just as complex). Also, I will note that there are some spherical chickens in this equation as well—like massless neutrinos.

Tillman is the youngest person in school history to earn a doctoral degree in integrated behavioral health.

I love how specific this is. Like, they have 12 year olds going through math PhDs constantly, but integrated behavioral health? She’s the youngest.
