What do you mean boring? MOFs are a fascinating area of chemistry. Outside of nature, they are most likely our best example of rationally designed nanoscale systems. In chemistry, rational design - that based on rules -…
Ok so I am always interested in these papers as a chemist. Often, we find that the LLM are terrible at chemistry. This is because the lived experience of a chemist is fundamentally different from the education they…
Loads of shit in the basement in the chemistry department, physics dept. etc. There's quite a few lead sarcophagus that we've labelled no go ha.
Now repeat this study for meditators. I used to vocalise and the total volume of internal vocalisation decreased with increasing practice. I have a high level of verbal intelligence, so I wonder how this has impacted?
You are completely right. I am a chemist and this isn’t a self indulgent rant but there are those who “get” chemistry and those who don’t. We can teach and train a chemist to work in a lab - but one who groks it?…
So basically half of this is in an indirect form to practice the skills of meditation?
I was taught by J. M. Barrie’s nephew. A wonderful person that had a great impact on my desire to become a scientist despite my earlier failings and shortcomings. He was so well regarded.
Or you could just drop their coffee mug…?
Maybe he conflates discovery with accident. Materials science searches chemical space and makes discoveries. There is no accident in that kind of discovery?
Had the same issue on Reddit recently. Toxibaccin was discovered in soils in 2018. Hell I know someone who developed one recently at a university. It’s AMAZING AI can do this, but it certainly doesn’t destroy prior…
Personally my favourite is a thread here: https://x.com/uberstuber/status/1736489420466110843?s=46 It probably deserves a HN post of its own!
Author is leveraging mental inflexibility to generate an emotional response of denial. Sure, his points are correct but are constrained. Let’s remove 2 constraints and reevaluate: 1 - Babies learn much more with much…
Ok so these are my personal experiences as an “intelligent” scattered ADHD type. Meditation works, exercise works, medication works, talk therapy works, organisational systems work. Organisational systems emerge as a…
Hahahahaha. 99% of chemistry is done this way. The term used is 'serendipitous' - aka I accidentally grabbed the wrong bottle. Honestly.
I would say that this type of levitation where it sort of half levitates is quite common. I taught YBaCuO superconductor experiments for a few years. That Meisner effect would get full marks in my institution!
Ha. Old Prof. in my department - primary research on silica is a real stickler for the differentiation of these. Loves berating unsuspecting undergrads that talk of silicone.
Also, our scientific models work well for 90% of stuff - that doesn't mean they reflect the whole at all. Newton thought gravity was a force, Einstein a warping of spacetime. Newton was right - to a point. Was Einstein…
My first ever lecture was on magic acid in 2012! Ha. Introductory inorganic chemistry
Yeah I mean this is high-school level chemistry, right?
Hahahahah. Nature. Integrity. Fuck me.
Yeah I mean I guess I’ve just stopped drinking entirely. What’s the point? I used to drink because I was anxious in pubs. Then I stopped. Then I stopped enjoying drunk people. I don’t push my views - but I’m not…
Absolutely love this. This is actually something I have thought about myself many times. I imagine in future it will be that swarms of idea generating agents running through qualifying agents. Similar to how a human…
Read that book by Stutz. The Jonah Hill documentary is on Netflix. Recently I have struggled with burnout lack of motivation etc. there’s a load of metaphors for growth etc that do in a sense make sense
Sorry fellas I was baked. Yeah basically that's the cricket. If solutions they use are higher than those in the 'real world' it's actually a much bigger challenge than one would think at a first pass. Seeking a 1 ppm…
By the way this is ridiculously sensationalised. Would love to see the world rid of nonsense chem journalists. They’re operating about 200 ppb at lowest conc. usually we’re looking to remove from a 1 ppb. Low quality…
