In the field this is actually refered to as direct observation. It’s confusing for someone not familiar with the jargon as it is very similar to direct detection.

I am a physicist, studying dark matter.
Firstly, It would be nearly impossible to prove that dark matter definitely does not exist.
And secondly, there are no alternatives to dark matter that come even close to explain our universe as successfully as dark matter.
That doesn’t mean it’s right, but any explanation without dark matter is not favored IMO.
Well I’m probably wrong then, framework said they couldn’t get good performance and maintain signal integrity with upgradable memory for the Ryzen Max cpus, so this is likely discrete Cpu and GPU. Probably all soldered in the same mainboard though.
This seems to blur the lines between desktop and mobile APU’s, but I would bet that’s it’s closer to a higher clocked mobile chip, than it is to desktop. The only reason I think this is the case is due to the similarity spec wise with the Max 385, and that it’s semi-custom.
If it was just a 7600x CPU + 7600 GPU I think they would have just said so. It could be separate CPU+GPU, but I think it might be possible that it is built more like a SOC, where the GPU is just given its own dedicated VRAM.
Looking at the hardware of say a PS5, it has 16 GB of GDRR6, the same as the Steam Machine’s VRAM.
If everything is soldered anyway, there is no reason to have separate chips for CPU+GPU, especially if that hardware already exists like the AMD Ryzen AI Max line.
This thing has pretty interesting hardware:
The chip almost looks like a cut down AMD Ryzen AI Max 385, but with fewer CPU cores and GPU CUs, but the GPU gets its own dedicated VRAM, rather than sharing it, like it does in something like a Framework Desktop.
It also seems like it gets a decent amount of power, so likely at higher clock speeds, performance should be pretty good for not that much money. If this is supposed to be a console then it can’t be much more than a PS5 at $550 or PS5 Pro at $750.
I think i would love this phone, but unfortunately for me does not support many US phone bands


As a current PhD student, I am very skeptical of theories that present themselves as alternatives to dark matter.
Dark matter is a very successful model of explaining our universe, with a ton of validation through simulations that can recreate a lot of what we see.
Unless another theory can do that better than dark matter, it is hard to consider it favorably.


It’s possible primordial black holes could be dark matter, but there’s only a certain mass range allowed, roughly around the mass of an asteroid, for example.
But somewhat confusingly, these would be poor candidates to seed these massive black holes.


I do research on dark matter, and one of the more interesting possibilities I have heard is that these black holes could in theory be formed by directly collapsing dark matter!
There’s and increasing amount of attention being spent investigating a slight modification to the standard Lambda cold dark matter cosmology, by allowing dark matter to have a little bit of self-interactions. These can then allow part of a larger dark matter halo to directly collapse into a black hole.
Still my first time seeing it. And as a physicist who wants to strive to improve my field we should know these things.


Even better for hummingbirds is native plants that feed them. We have planted red cardinal flowers that attract them and butterflies


No offenses, but I’m gonna put a lot more weight behind a peer reviewed Nature paper, rather than some random podcaster.
The explained their methodology pretty well. They extrapolate the microplastics amount from a small bit of cortical tissue, and compared it to previous results. Yeah there might not be as much in other parts of the brain, but we don’t have a reason to think it would be drastically different.


It’s up to a credit card now (9g)
Newton’s laws, including gravity and motion, can be expressed in terms of differential equations.
Differential equations pretty much requires calculus, which just hadn’t been formalized yet.
Newton’s laws also provide convincing reasons for the necessity and legitimacy of calculus, by being able to derive orbits from his simple laws.


Why is the resolution limited at 90hz?
There should be plenty of bandwidth to run 2x2560x2560 at 90hz. That should only be ~28.3gbps, which is less than dp 1.4 max of 32.
And it’s less bandwidth than a 4k monitor at 240hz, though that requires DSC.


These people got caught because someone found their car and thus license plate.
Another had left a fingerprinted bottle that went missing when watching surveillance footage.
And then were able to confirm after finding the same outfit from the surveillance footage.
The lessons to be learned are to not use cars anywhere near the scene, leave no trace, fingerprints or digital evidence, including a phone, and make sure any recognizable clothing is well hidden, or even better thoroughly destroyed.
Oh and don’t post anything on social media.


Probably also ebikes, they take away a lot of what sucks as a bike commuter, or for recreation.
It shouldn’t be seen as poverty, as in some cases biking is more convenient, especially in more urban area where parking is harder to find.


Looks like a staged photo, the corner where the wall meets the ceiling makes a hard right angle, which makes me think it’s a building and not a plane.
Try and flip the fantasies on their head.
Try looking for odd quirks and mannerisms that bother you and imagine how annoying it would be to be with a partner that does those things all the time.
Look for the particular ways they want to be cared for in the manner and how you would not be suitable to meet them, and that they might be happier with someone else.
Also just spend more time with them, and the infatuation will either fade or you’ll realize you do really like them, which is OK, let them know, and it’s OK if it’s not reciprocal (though this is actually quite hard as a lot of women are conditioned to not believe men who say this).
We already have superweapons In the form of nukes, this is a lot harder
