> Abstract: [...] here we show an accelerated adoption of AI tools among scientists and consistent professional advantages associated with AI usage, but a collective narrowing of scientific focus. Scientists who engage in AI-augmented research publish 3.02 times more papers, receive 4.84 times more citations and become research project leaders 1.37 years earlier than those who do not. By contrast, AI adoption shrinks the collective volume of scientific topics studied by 4.63% and decreases scientists’ engagement with one another by 22%
This is cool thanks for sharing! I'm definitely be digging into these. It would be neat to support some of these devices too. I didn't know about MaplePad (+1 to Dreamcast VMU projects!)
> The new HSTX interface on the RP2350 seems to be squarely targeted at this use case (video output) and doesn't require the use of PIO or consuming a ton of CPU cycles. There's a nice write up on the capability here:
At that time they created a bunch of spammy noise which caused the social media businesses significant expense.
They did that in order to run their foreign interference in US elections agenda, and their foreign agenda of late; and we don't like foreign interference in our elections either.
Note the fathers of the sarcastic TV show South Park, all bouncing around on their satellite internet access.
> Salt hydrates thus open up completely new possibilities for smart and more balanced heating systems because heating can be moved to times with low energy demand.
> “Salt hydrates aren’t toxic, they’re not flammable and they are also relatively inexpensive. This makes them a safe and good choice for use in private homes. Heat storage with salt hydrates also takes up less space than a traditional hot water tank, often up to four times less,” says Simonsen

> To solve this [oxidation in aluminum heat sinks] problem, the researchers have employed a type of coating called plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), which forms a thin, ceramic layer on the surface of the aluminium
> According to the company, the H1 replaces traditional resistive heating elements with processors that perform high-value computing tasks, including Bitcoin mining. The heat generated by those processors is captured and used to heat water, allowing the unit to deliver hot water while simultaneously earning Bitcoin.
There are also space heaters and pool heaters that reuse mining rig waste heat.
One way to heat a pool on the roof with mining or datacenter or other waste heat, is to immerse the heat source in a chip-compatible nonconductive thermofluid and run the pool/spa/hot water through exchange loops.
FWIU, in order to run pool water through an attic to be heated, to prevent water damage you should have double-walled pipes and/or relief trays.
How much to upgrade the TH/s/kWh mining rigs; or, how does the return from mining change over time?
How does the annual cost compare?
Residential heat pumps have electric resistive heating elements to unfreeze the unit. Even natural gas heat pumps do.
How could heat from mining rigs be a source for a multi-source heat pump?
How could a pellet stove be a source for a multi-source heat pump?
How do the efficiencies of these systems compare to the efficiency of infrared wallpaper for heating, for example?
> "We've shown that bilayer graphene almost certainly hosts particles that are non-Abelian anyons," concludes Ronen. "The next step is to directly observe the 'memory' of a non-Abelian anyon system, in other words, to measure how each order of particle exchanges leaves a unique signature in the wave function.
Hypotheses for those responses to new tools?
