is the superconducter manufacturing process affordable or is it something we'll only see in hospitals, military applications, and as cladding on mega yachts?

These nerds should know by now the superconducting strength of a computer relies solely on how many neon lights and anime babes you put on a rig.

when I first heard about it the evidence it was real is that the material is a 'dark grey color' which is consistent with other superconducting materials lol

At least with like beanie babies people actually liked the product and then they turned the screws with limited editions and availability. NFTs were being advertised as financial instruments from day one and was completely sus because of that. You're not supposed to hover over the mark hyperventilating going "please make me rich now please make me rich now "

I always like the concept of Central Park Hamburgers. Cram 5 employees, a flat grill, a deep fryer and a cooler in a 15' x 10' booth with a drive-thru on each side. Why waste space on dine-in when it's empty 99% of the time

The nice thing about the superconductor claim is that we'll get absolute verification as to how fake it is in a couple days A bunch of scientists are already in the process of synthesizing the material to test it

They got a whole country to declare crypto a national currency and had a bipartisan group of U.S. senators ready to push legislation the crypto industry wrote itself. We were only saved by the very timely collapse of FTX or else Kristen Gillibrand would be like the cryptocurrency czar right now. It's clearly just unregistered securities but throw a few bucks around and they can make the government call them legit.

ROKU closed +$22 from yesterday, a jump of 31 percent, its biggest gain in 4 years, bc of its Q2 earnings. Maybe someday I'll be able to sell mine for a wash at $135 but I'll never stop ruing the day I didn't sell it at $400.  edit: my bad, it actually got to almost $475.

It would be nice to see something cool like a room temp superconductor, but somehow I get the feeling a lot of labs around the world are gonna fail to replicate it. That whole drama around the two papers just tells me someone got greedier than the others, not that it's actually a thing. Can't wait to forget about this in a few days. Or see billionaires live in space or some poo poo while I continue to rot away on this dying planet they left behind.

Honestly they got too greedy (but then again I doubt they could produce anything at all of worth if their life depended on it). Most superconductors require helium cooling already and just getting ones that worked well into the nitrogen cooling range would probably be nice (and if they could manage with just water cooling I imagine that'd be basically good as room temperature for most applications).

As a life long space enjoyer, the billionaires can have it if they want. It's a bad place to live. Microgravity messes with your body in subtle and not so subtle ways (you're almost guaranteed to ruin your eyesight for starters), you're exposed to more radiation and more powerful forms of it, there is hardly any support infrastructure. If you manage to get a moon base congrats, you're rolling around in regolith that's the equivalent of diatomaceous earth, which we use to kill bloodsucking parasites, that gets everywhere and in everything but especially your lungs, so enjoy your silicosis. On Mars lol, sure you might be able to grow some potatoes but if you need anything it's at best 18 months out, and that if the rocket is ready to go for the window, otherwise it's much longer if not impossible. The ideal base is underground due to radiation. So people who've probably all grown up rich and are used to the best of everything being on tap will go into an incredibly dangerous and unforgiving place and sign up to do manual labor 7 days a week with no break because if you don't do the work you and everybody there dies. All so you can avoid seeing or helping any poors and die of bespoke artisanal cancers and disorders half blind in a rabbit warren having only nutrient paste to eat for the last 10 years. Houston: Monarch Base, come in. Monarch Base, come in. Monarch: For the love of God- Houston: Monarch say again, what is your status Monarch: Montresor for the love of God let me out!

How big a deal is a room-temperature superconductor? All the articles just say vague stuff like "breakthrough". We talking about ending the energy crisis here or, like, computers get a bit faster?
