The network effect strikes again ...

Free markets are free to have monopolies.

Depending on the concentration of defects and the length scale of the system, theory suggests that it may be possible to observe second sound at much higher temperatures beyond 120…

Long wavelength phonons are the familiar sound waves. Smaller wavelength phonons have different group velocities due to dispersion. The speed of second sound is not the same speed …

Laser interference is not required. The original second sound measurements in superfluid Helium used a geometry similar to the one you describe, where a heat source (as a pulse or …

Here is the arxiv version of the Science paper mentioned in the article: https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.09160 .

The experiment describes an unusual process observed in a system driven out of equilibrium (i.e., non-equilibrium), where, strictly speaking, the 2nd law does not apply.

We could choose to cease to have preferences, limiting what there is to target.

Maybe "Notes from a Dead House" by Dostoevsky?

Do you think the golden age of the internet is drawing to a close?

I suppose dark forest is a reference to a "forest dark" from Dante's Inferno?

If we knew how probabilities worked, we wouldn't be surprised.

Is your point that humans can always ask "so?" after a proposition?

A non-zero probability that probability is involved.

Turns out we can approximate many-body wavefunctions using networks with complex weights: https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.02318 .

David Foster Wallace wrote about the tyranny of irony more than 20 years ago. https://jsomers.net/DFW_TV.pdf
