The first version of https://t.co/y5oUXeq6tO has been released! Let's create the best vector editor together! :)

Hey Golang, it's time we had "the talk." Don't be the square peg trying to squeeze into a round hole - it's just not your style. Let the grown up langs handle webdev. You'll still be the king of cross-compiling for Raspberry Pi!

The Luang Prabang Dam threatens its namesake city's @UNESCO World Heritage Status and endangers the livelihoods of 7.5 million Laos residents, some of whom have already been forced to leave, and many who fear another seismic disaster.

My latest for @france24

First claimed successful replication of LK-99

Accomplished by a team at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology and posted 30 minutes ago.

Why this is evidence:
The LK-99 flake slightly levitates for both orientations of the magnetic field, meaning it is not simply a magnetized piece of iron or similar 'magnetic material'. A simple magnetic flake would be attracted to one polarity of the strong magnet, and repelled by the other. A diamagnet would be repelled under either orientation, since it resists and expels all fields regardless of the polarity.

Caveats
There is no way to verify the orientation of the strong magnet in this video, also, there are yet to be published experimental measured values of this sample. Diamagnetism is a property of superconductors but without measured and verified data, this is just suggestive of a result.

Take-away
If this synthesis was indeed successful, then this material is easy enough to be made by labs other than the original research team. I would watch carefully for results out of Argonne National Lab, who are reported to be working on their own synthesis of a sample.

This overall corroborates two independent simulation studies that investigated the original Korean authors claim about material and crystal structure, and both studies supported the claims.

The attached video shows a small flake of their sample responding to an external magnetic field. I scroll through the video to skip to the relevant part.

Small talk is neither emotionally nor intellectually stimulating, so it can feel like an inefficient use of an introvert’s limited social energy. But get them talking about something they care about or something that makes them think, and they might not shut up!

the most laughable thing ever is people gaslighting themselves into believing that the art of war is a self-improvement/business management book. it's a 2000-year old chinese guy telling you to not fight in foggy weather and to avoid siege warfare
