Give these dogs their forever home. 🐶

These dogs surrendered by their owners are "awaiting execution" at the Digos City pound. Animal welfare group Happy Animals Club said they could ship the dogs anywhere in the Philippines.

September 2023 was the warmest September on record globally at a horrifying >1.75°C warmer than the 1850- 1900 average.

Air quality today Oct 5, 2023 as of 11AM shows unhealthy levels of air pollution in Palao, Iligan City (162). In other monitored areas, air quality was good to moderate #airqualityalert

Confusion Matrix

FICTIONALIZED

⏰ Sunday:
🇷🇺 Russia: Soil scientist/anime catgirl Iris has been up for 72 hours at this point after her post of successful magic rock synthesis, jousting with American chemistry trolls. “Why don’t you post a video?”, they taunt. She’s enraged, as no one in post Soviet Russia has ever believed anything they see on screen. If you require knowledge of truth, you must find it yourself, as she had, in beakers and flasks and furnaces. If they were not willing to, they would merely have to rely on the second truth, the one that you learn from someone else. And without am X ray diffraction machine, the photo of the floatiness of the rock would have to do.

⏰ The Prior Week
🇺🇸 DoE Argonne National Labs: in Illinois, Jorg Maser, the head of the Center for Nanoscale Materials does have an X ray diffraction machine, one that takes spectacularly detailed pictures of crystals, and he stares at the results of the one such. He picks up the phone and calls his colleague, Qazilbash, Hyun Tak’s colleague at William and Mary, yes, could they send over another sample? Yes.. Even if it has to come from South Korea. An incoming call from Lawrence Berkeley National Labs interrupts him, what? Yes he’s working on a characterization for Hyun Tak. Is it for real? Well he’s working on it. There’s a request for supercomputer time from a young researcher, LBNL would have to bump someone senior, was it for real? Yes it was for real dammit. Stop calling me.

🇺🇸 Lawrence Berkeley National Labs: Physicist Sinead Griffin has been restless since the SC Arxiv paper was released. The 1-Dimensional superconductivity theory was outlandish, but, notably not impossible. The selection of the Lead/Copper base has narrowed the search space from pin in the size of the universe, to merely a pin in the solar system. The Big Mutter (aka Perlmutter), LBNL’s supercomputer should take no more than 6 hours for the search. But Griffin would have to bump a senior researcher.. which would come with minor social repercussions later. She sighs, and reaches for the phone.

⏰ Monday
🇷🇺 Russia: Iris, now pushing into her 96th hour awake, has been persuaded by the an Internet horde now numbering into the tens of thousands, to make another attempt. She posts a 9 welled plate, each well containing a slightly different mix of ingredients being inserted into a home crucible. The peanut gallery now contains several future Nobel prize winners hiding behind youthful anime avatars, offering advice she heaps ruinous scorn on. An anonymous heckler finally triggers her and she disappears offline.

💻 The Internet: Early morning, a corrected and updated 6 author paper drops at Arxiv. Hyun Tak kept his word. Scientists across the world pore over it. There are no obvious mistakes or omissions on the graphs this time, just the weirdness of data unexplainable by theory.

🌎 The rotating global horde of nerds loses energy, with no sign of replication, is it truly, as they say, “so over”. Not a single floaty rock, except for the Landau-Lifshitz obsessed anime catgirl, goaded into yeeting off to sleep.

🇺🇸 Two hours, later, Sinead Griffin posts her Arxiv paper, and simultaneously an Obama Mic Drop Gif on Twitter. As the former president turned meme kisses his fingers, the spawn of the Mutter emerges. Ts Choi’s original 1-d theory is both plausible and likely. There are paths, freeways where an electron may zoom along for eternity without ever slowing down, superconducting tunnels through the crystal matrix. And.. these special freeways, are found only where the Copper atoms settle into unlikely hiding places on the Lead lattice. Which now explains the great difficulty and failures of the dozens of replication attempts over the last weekend.

The Crowd Goes Wild 😛

And Then to Sleep 🛌

⏰ 4am Tuesday Pacific Time - the 🇨🇳 Chinese floating magical rock confirmation video lands

[Alex Volkov @altryne]

In a normal world of science: Oh this is another angle of the same video evidence we already seen

In bizzaro twitter world of Schrödinger's floaty #lk99 rocks:

We're so soo back

Also, if you even dare say something about the wobbling, we all get hoverboards except you 😠

[Alex Kaplan @alexkaplan0]

A few #LK99 updates (in case you haven't seen)

1. Twitter anon @iris_IGB claims to have made the floating rock, people are getting excited
2. @eirifu has a great tracker of replication efforts (linked below)
3. The replication probability on @ManifoldMarkets is up to 28%

Ever wanted to know which serverless messaging system is **fastest**? I compared 12 common integration patterns and measured the latency for each.

Some results surprised me! For example Kinesis with Enhanced Fan-Out is 10x as fast as Kinesis without EFO.

@themsaid DDB is always slower vs Redis. How I wish a serverless Redis exists out there.

Look at this kids face.

He was making $500K per cold email sent.

Earned $10M+ profit in the first year of his business. Sold it and "retired".

Here's what his business was and how he built it: (this is my story) 👇

Please help us spread the word. We WONT SPEND A NICKEL ON MARKETING. WE COMPLETELY RELY ON WORD OF MOUTH This allows us to price at such low prices. So all help is welcome from everyone and anyone !

As startups grow there is extremely strong pull into what I call the death spiral of bullshit.

More people -> more teams -> more buy-in required -> more meetings -> being persuasive rewarded more than building -> builders leave -> nothing gets done

Psychologists use a term called "pluralistic ignorance" to describe the phenomenon of "no one believes, but everyone thinks that everyone believes." (h/t @AdamMGrant)

Here's a way to visualize it:
