A game I would never understand even if it came out eventually. It is not finished yet, but daily challenges are available.

I do recommend the Velocity Raptor as it imposes on me visually on Relativity's time and space magic.

I'm wondering why the 'Which GNU/Linux distribution do you use Guix on?' question has answers that sum to less than 40%. I mean, even if most users try guix on the Guix OS and that is trivial, the option should also be visible in the result.

Kudos to the folks contributing thousands of commits for the new IOCCC website and system!

The author is considering streaming the electrical measurement experiments in a day, according to the Zhihu answers.

Since this thread is down from the top, I'm also considering posting another one as soon as the stream link comes out. I'm not sure if this violates the "duplicate" rule of HN, but I think broadcasting such a major physics breakthrough is worth a try.

Thanks, but I simply quote "hint of near-room-temperature superconductivity" from the article. AFAIK the original title still contains too much details (the composition) for general audience on HN. Of course, the way I change the title will result in more clicks, so it could be "clickbait" in a way.

So how do I know that which title serves better? I'll appreciate the comments in this special case if it is hard to say in general.

Probably. Science is fascinating as people could do a lot with simple equipments.

Hello, when perusing through the posts last year about LK99 event, I notice the thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38691268) used a title other than original one.

Now that I am really new to HN mechanics, I am wondering how to decide which examples to follow. For example, despite the guideline statements, many threads around blog posts on HN actually use new titles.

One line explainer for non-experts like me: the paper presents a material with strange electric behavior at around 260K (approx. -10 celcius or 10 fahrenheit) that seems to be superconductivity, i.e. near-room-temperature superconductivity.

Sorry, didn't realize that.

I haven't tried that, but I've been looking for a voice AI for some time. In my opinion, the AI chatbots in texts that emit some spurious opinions simply compete with search engines (those writing codes have strong advantages though), but a voice AI, which explains to me how anything works while I'm walking outside, has no competitors for now.
