> Prize share: 1/3 (x 3) Can someone elaborate on these weights ? Are there occurrences where the attribution weights are different between laureates ?
L’Huillier, who became the fifth woman to win the physics prize, was teaching when she received the call from the committee, having the advantage of being in the same time zone as the committee. (On a side note, Bing chat already knows now that she won the prize. Color me impressed.)

This year's Nobel laureate in physics lectures us after (!!) being notified of her win!!
There is some nice sweet irony here. Very marginal inside baseball. I know of one of the recipients although indirectly. I felt like their group was kept around their university physics dept because they were known to be good in that field, while generally their colleagues were generally not respected as their physics (which was derisively deemed "AMO" as if it were an epithet) was not seen as "fundamental" enough by…
Surprising/doubtful, never heard of AMO physics being marginalised anywhere.
An attosecond is to a second what a second is to the age of the universe.

> (On a side note, Bing chat already knows now that she won the prize. Color me impressed.) It actually doesn't. Bing searches for your query and uses plain old search results as extra context for the actual LLM. GPT-4 still has the same knowledge cutoff as when the model was last trained. Here's what it feeds to the model when searching for "nobel prize in physics 2023": https://pastebin.com/raw/MhW4EmTx
How are you getting this? I is it visible to the browser (client)?

While some teams confirmed superconductity in LK99 other teams got a negative result. The consensus amongst the solid-state community at the moment is the LK99 is NOT superconductive at room temperature. How is that possible ? There are often many effects at play in Physics. Certain phenomena can be explained in other ways. There are often measurement issues, modelling issues and a haste to say "me too" as prestige a…

Like, realy realy realy fast, one billionth of one billionth of a second.
what is it useful for ? (honnest question)

Academic politics is something else. I thought for awhile those guys got lucky and skip office politics. Then I realize that PhD level IQs + pressure to get into the fancy journals means that the politics is 古典小說 tier.
The Chinese translates to, "classical novels," according to Google.
They're about court life and conflict, so of course they're full of court politics and intrigue
