By tuning the “Gaussian length” of the channel, the team achieved two‑dimensional super‑injection, which is an effectively limitless charge surge into the storage layer that bypasses the classical injection bottleneck.

Which episode of Star Trek is this from?

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 months ago

The one where there's a problem with the holodeck.

[-] orclev@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?

[-] drspod@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

It's the one where Barclay gets obsessed with his Holodeck program.

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

I don't think so. I just rewatched it. It's the one where Data finds out something to make himself more human. Picard tells him something profound and moving.

They're just copying the description of the turbo encabulator.

Link to the actual paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-08839-w

The repro and verification will take time. Months or even years. Don't trust anyone who says it's definitely real or definitely bunk. Time will tell.

This article appeared in my feed just above another article about how China has the world's first operational thorium reactor. Meanwhile, the US is about to fight a civil war over whether vaccination causes measles and stripping away the last of our social programs in order to get our wealthiest people another 2% subsidy.

China and Russia worked very hard to get these rich stupid people in power.

It really started in 2016 when US security agencies released a joint report showing Russia was spreading misinformation to help Trump win the election.

Surprisingly, the "liberal tears compilations" and "something about an email server people didn't understand wasn't actually illegal" actually worked and drowned out the warnings from our security agencies.

I don't think China will be any better of a world leader tbh.

I see humanity's future as a boot stepping on a human face forever, unless humanity globally rejects kings, oligarchs, and dictators.

[-] Netux@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Don't forget the genius DNC folk, including HRC thought a pied piper strategy of boosting the circus peanut was a good idea.

If the Russians and Chinese did anything it was just capitalizing on an unforced error by the hubris of the centrist. One again, bernie would have won, but that was more distasteful to the ruling class than fascism.

AI AI AI AI

Yawn

Wake me up if they figure out how to make this cheap enough to put in a normal person's server.

You can get a Coral TPU for 40 bucks or so.

You can get an AMD APU with a NN-inference-optimized tile for under 200.

Training can be done with any relatively modern GPU, with varying efficiency and capacity depending on how much you want to spend.

What price point are you trying to hit?

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

What price point are you trying to hit?

With regards to AI?. None tbh.

With this super fast storage I have other cool ideas but I don't think I can get enough bandwidth to saturate it.

China scientists

So, Chinese scientists?

[-] realitista@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago

I think it's a slightly different connotation. "China scientists" infers scientists residing in China while not presuming their ethnicity, while "Chinese scientists" implies their ethnicity but not their location.

No, it's people who study fine tableware.

[-] liquidparasyte@pawb.social 7 points 2 months ago

Real talk, why is discussion around people and subjects in China so fucking weird?

If it's not referring to the entire population when it only applies to the government or a subset of them as a global "the Chinese" or doing silly shit like "China scientists" everyone's grammatical skills suddenly tank when even broaching a topic even tangential to the PRC.

Seriously, for me a "China scientist" is someone doing research on China, like a space scientist would do research on astronomy and similar. But I'm not a native English speaker, so, idk

Clickbait article with some half truths. A discovery was made, it has little to do with Ai and real world applications will be much, MUCH more limited than what's being talked about here, and will also likely still take years to come out

[-] KulunkelBoom@lemm.ee 14 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but endurance. and accuracy. and longevity. How about those?

Brother, have you heard of buses? Even INSIDE cpus/socs bus speeds are a limitation. Also i fucking hate how the first thing people mention now is how ai could benefit from a jump in computing power.

Edit: I havent dabbled that much in high speed stuff yet but isnt the picosecond range so fast that the capacitance of simple traces and connectors between chips influence the rising and falling edge of chips?

[-] xthexder@l.sw0.com 3 points 2 months ago

That's pretty much my understanding. Most of the advancements happened in memory speeds are related to the physical proximity of the memory and more efficient transmission/decoding.

GDDR7 chips for example are packed as close as physically possible to the GPU die, and have insane read speeds of 28 Gbps/pin (and a 5090 has a 512-bit bus). Most of the limitation is the connection between GPU and RAM, so speeding up the chips internally 1000x won't have a noticeable impact without also improving the memory bus.

[-] MTK@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Yeah... At best click baity as fuck, at worst a complete scam.

Any time there is a 10x or more in a headline you are 10x or more likely to be right by calling it BS.

[-] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Too bad the US can't import any of it.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Wow, finally graphene has been cracked. Exciting times for portable low-energy computing
