  • What’s a Time Crystal?

    To understand time crystals, imagine regular crystals like diamonds or quartz. These are beautifully structured because their atoms repeat in precise, organized patterns in space.

    On the other hand, doesn’t time crystal repeat patterns in space—it ticks in a consistent rhythm over time, combining the three dimensions of space with the fourth dimension: time.

    Breaking New Ground: The Time Quasicrystal

    Time crystals aren’t new—they were first created in 2016. But the WashU team took things further, building a “time quasicrystal.” Unlike regular time crystals, which tick with one predictable rhythm, time quasicrystals produce multiple frequencies, like playing a chord instead of a single note.

    How They Did It?

    Okay, uh, I don’t know what’s going on here but no.






  • Newsom even slobbered to Kirk that his own 13-year-old son is one of his fans, and admired Kirk for that, instead of chewing out his lying ass for pied-pipering his son’s brain with hateful rhetoric encouraging children to be bullies. “We’re getting clobbered,” Newsom said at one point, and “you’ve figured something out.”

    Gavin Newsom, you are doing a shit job of fathering. Has Newsom never given his son a man-to-man about to hategasming scammers like Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon? I would not publicly admit to that level of parenting failure for a million bucks. Has Newsom been bitten by the right-wing brain slug himself?

    And it was Newsom’s show. Why did he let Kirk do the framing? Kirk didn’t even wait a day before getting back on his song-and-dance blaming Newsom for “ruining” California, and right wingers mocked Newsom’s weird hand-flapping.






  • Exactly. I thought the article was going to be about how they’ve been shoe-horning “Apple Intelligence” into recent updates, which everyone turns off immediately. Instead it’s:

    The company has officially delayed features first promised last June intended to modernize Siri and give Apple a much-needed boost in the AI race.

    HA! First of all the “AI race” is an ass-grabbing competition between insane corporate overlords who can’t wait to burn another hundred billion on something that doesnt’ work.

    Secondly, last June was still in the bubble of AI hype when everyone and their dog was forced to comment on it ortherwise the idiot herds would affect stock price.

    Thirdly, this isn’t about Apple not getting something to work, this is about Apple understanding what an abysmal shitshow the generative AI functionality is, and trying to land the plane before anything else catches fire.

    Ridiculous.
