Why did this journal retract two 1940s papers by Max Planck?

Why did this journal retract two 1940s papers by Max Planck?

๐Ÿš€ Explore this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: โœ… **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: The real issue is whether publishers of scientific journals should retroactively apply contemporary standards regarding duplicate publication or self-plagiarism to historical papers. The journal publishing norms in the early 20th century were substantially different. The emphasis was on achieving the widest dissemination of knowledge across a fragmented scientific community separated by language and geographical distance, publishing in many different journals. As a result, the boundaries were heavily blurred between lectures, conference proceedings, booklets, collected essays, published journal articles and so forth. The scientific enterprise has…

Towards 40GW+ of Behind-The-Meter Datacenter by 2028?

Towards 40GW+ of Behind-The-Meter Datacenter by 2028?

๐Ÿš€ Explore this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Today, the US grid is serving most datacenter load in the US, but weโ€™re reaching a tipping point. As the insatiable demand for power of AI Labs and hyperscalers keeps accelerating, the grid simply canโ€™t add capacity fast enough. That leaves Behind-The-Meter as the only way for the largest players to secure the power they need. Nearly a year ago, our Onsite Gas deep dive was the first to predict the fast rise of new entrants in the BTM gas equipment market. Since then, companies…

Age verification is just a precursor to attribution of speech

๐Ÿš€ Read this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: โœ… **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Lots of US states, European countries, and Australia have introduced "age verification" regulations. They present it as the classic "save the children" talking point, but it's really just a precursor to attribution of speech, particularly attributing your words to your real identity. This is the state's dream; your words, undeniably tied to your real life identity. Law enforcement generally needs two things to take meaningful action: What happened? and Who did it? so lets go over them, I promise it's relevant. What happened? - Maybe…

Tell Congress: Donโ€™t Force Age Checks Online

๐Ÿ”ฅ Explore this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: โœ… **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: While supporters insist the bill does not require age verification and have included language saying so, multiple parts of the package impose obligations that depend on websites taking steps to know who is under 18 years old. Most companies are likely to respond to this legal risk by collecting much more personal information from users, like driversโ€™ licenses or passports. Others will rely on age-estimation systems that guess users' ages based on user activity or facial scans and inevitably make mistakes. Either way, users lose.…

Better Images of AI

โœจ Explore this trending post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Whatโ€™s the problem with current tropes?Abstract, futuristic or science-fiction-inspired images of AI hinder the understanding of the technologyโ€™s already significant societal and environmental impacts. Images relating machine intelligence to human intelligence set unrealistic expectations and misstate the capabilities of AI. Images representing AI as sentient robots mask the accountability of the humans actually developing the technology, and can suggest the presence of robots where there are none. Such images potentially sow fear, and research shows they can be laden with historical assumptions about gender, ethnicity…

PhantaField PFG-1 Whitepaper

๐Ÿ”ฅ Check out this insightful post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ“Œ **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Executive Summary PFG-1 "Sophon" is a unified training-and-inference die on a 750 mmยฒ, 32-tier 2D Transition-Metal Dichalcogenide (TMD) Monolithic 3D (M3D) platform. Weights, gradients, and optimizer state reside in on-die 2T0C 2D-TMD gain-cell DRAM; because the array is fully read-write, the same silicon executes BF16 forward/backward training passes and serves low-batch decode at the compute-bound rate. Compute is pure digital Compute-In-Memory (CIM): each 256ร—256 DRAM subarray tile pairs a binary sense amplifier with an 8-level adder tree, driven by a 500 MHz bit-serial activation…

On cigarettes โ€“ Blog FiascoBlog Fiasco

๐Ÿ’ฅ Discover this insightful post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: โœ… **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Thereโ€™s something to be said for cigarettes. Most of it, of course, is bad. Cigarettes smell awful. The stench lingers and invades long after the cigarette is gone. Cigarettes, of course, also kill people. Lung cancer from a lifetime of smoking (mostly cigarettes, but also pipes) killed my father. Itโ€™s kind of amazing that fire from a cigarette left smoldering as he fell asleep didnโ€™t kill him, the way it has so many others. The anti-smoking messaging I got in school as a kid was…
