“Trapping electrons in a crystal” is such a nonsensical way of conveying the idea of a flat band. Most isolated crystals trap all the electrons they have inside of them, or else the world will be full of free roaming electrons!

Thanks for the pointer, I actually have accessibility turned on via bitwarden (a password manager) and never thought that might be correlated. Will test when I get the chance.

I’ve seen similar things with a physical keyboard connected. There are plenty other Android apps that can handle connected keyboards corrected by not showing the on screen keyboard(OSK) (the now defunct RIF being one). Right now the only way to not have flashing OSK is to turn it off system wide under android settings, which is not ideal (because it won’t turn itself on automatically when the physical keyboard disconnects)

Well the band wagon has turned 180, now it’s fashionable to point out the flaws. My issue with this kind of videos is really, where are you in the early days of the hype, when the public needed cautions the most? A convenient naysayer when all the actual hard works have been done elsewhere

Documentation is different from demonstration. Text (with graph or animation interspersed to unpack unintuitive terms) wins for documentation. Video could be good for demo if presented in a no-nonsense manner.

Scale of velocity as well so we have a more complete picture in phase space

The referees who let this slip are either brilliant or lazy (or both, I guess)

You guys do know the affordability of the chips you’re using to comment on this is a direct consequence of TSMC “efficiency”, right?

Copy text doesn’t cut it because sometimes I just need to select a sentence or a link, not the full text.

This is also a problem for the post itself, not just comments.

On android, long press for text selection is standard operation.

Mind you, the DFT calculation from the Griffin paper is not a proof of LK 99 being a superconductor in any way. What it showed is the (potential) formation of flat bands near the Fermi surface. Band dispersion is associated with the kinetic energy of the electrons, so materials with flat band (and therefore electrons with suppressed kinetic energy) at the Fermi surface are more susceptible to interaction effect (and strong interaction causes all sorts of nonintuitive quantum effects). I’m not a DFT expert in any sense, but from what I’ve heard, it is quite easy to “tune” your model to produce narrow (the limit of which being flat) bands from substitutions (e.g. the Cu substitution in this case) and such, which don’t necessarily lead to superconductivity.

So I’ll take the DFT papers (there are quite a few now) as saying, “hey you want some flat band? Here’s some. We’ve done our part. Now some other theorist, do your magic and conjure up some superconductivity”. It’s a cog in the full picture, if there is a full picture

Give me a way to physically shut off the microphone (like a camera shield on business laptops), then we will talk.

Strange topics had popped up in my Google feed after l spoke to someone about something I’ve never googled before

I don’t think moving them closer affects accessibility, as long as there is no risk of fat-fingering. This is particularly true if swipe is used for voting.

I’m not suggesting to move the reply action (or for that matter the vote action) to make them more accessible, but instead to place vote and comment information closer on the UI for easier digestion. Sorry if this wasn’t clear before.

Thanks. I’m on latest beta now. Tried the handedness setting, it does seem to swap comment count vs vote count but doesn’t help much in bringing them closer.

Upvoted this just to see the said animation anyone?

Thanks for the suggestion. That doesn’t seem to affect the post list while browsing a community? For context, I’m on the official channel (android Google play store) but the version is showing as 1.0.96, not sure if it’s different from the latest bera (pinned msg on this sub also shows 1.0.96)

Off topic, but I must admit I clicked the thumbnail thinking it’s the right half of a split ergo keyboard 😅

In general you’ll be happier if less fxxk is given to someone else’s opinion. I’m not sure how important “someone else” being a parent is, other then maybe the correlation with the time spent with them or the survival resources they had control over, etc.

This was the 2020 material science Ig Nobel winner. Personally I think their control for the annealing process is flawed but somewhat understandable given the difficulty in securing the amount of material necessary for a more refined experiment. For reference, here are all the papers citing this work: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?oi=bibs&hl=en&cites=17315240754674471683

In fact this goes all the way back to Hamilton when he invented quaternion, in which i,j,k are used as basis vectors (which are generalizations of the imaginary i). Later Gibbs dropped the scalar component and gave us the modern vector.
