Sure, it doesn't spread down to 1901, but the uptick started around 1970s [1]. Anyway, my main rant was about the inefficiency of giving awards to "lone geniuses", at most three, o…

Regardless if LK-99 is truly a Room-Temperature Superconductor or not, only 112 years passed since Heike Kamerlingh Onnes discovered superconductivity on April 8, 1911, 4 PM [1] [2…

There is no use in synthesizing (C6H6O·CH2O)n [1] (or LK-99, to be actual, real or not) that is not cost effective. It's precisely this penny pusher rhetoric which in the end will …

Until a synthetic agent will be here we can only guess. The current best guesses seem to have to do with the free energy principle, active inference, Markov blankets [1]. It might …

Just avoiding the inevitable I suppose: June 22, 2023, "Ford agrees to $9.2 billion US government loan" [1]. That's the joke in the end: there are no companies (and there is no gov…

Can I, just a random citizen, get a loan from the government for not even billions or hundreds of millions but let's say $100,000? I will of course repay "in due course, at the app…

It's in the first paragraph of the linked article [1]. They were called "loans" in the government-speak of the post-2008 crash, but if you look at the semantics, they were just ris…

An "everything app" is just an operating system. There is nothing to picture, we've been having them since the 1950s [1]. We could imagine some new way of operating over systems: f…

Curiously enough, not really, from the post: Excuse me, is it "duct" or "duck" tape? I mean sure, "duct tape" and "duck tape" are both fine. "Duct tape" is the more common name tod…
