superconductors do nothing to make batteries or CMOS more efficient
Is your cucumber bitter? Throw it away. Are there briars in your path? Turn aside. That is enough. Do not go on and say “Why were things of this sort ever brought into this world?”

no

no
this thing would enable very strong superconducting magnets to work without cryogenic cooling. so, portable MRIs, better maglev, maybe perhaps easier fusion.
another interesting property is that resistance is zero. that means that you can transfer energy losslessly, saving some 10% of it this way. or you can make coils of this thing and charge/discharge them as needed, but this time without cooling: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_magnetic_energy_storage
there’s lemmy link and kbin link for firefox, idk about chrome
browser addon would be much cleaner imo


And also, you don’t need to use Fisher-Tropsch process either. Methanol is good enough fuel that you can get more directly from syngas and getting fractions of hydrocarbons this way is simply wasteful (tar formation, too light products etc). Additional benefit is easier conversion back to hydrogen if need be
That is, unless energy density is critical. I don’t think that difference matters in most of the cases


No. Haber-Bosch process is very mature by now and it doesn’t take much more energy than thermodynamically necessary to do so. You get there by recycling heat and reusing energy of compressed gases. The actual problem is getting that hydrogen in the first place
If you want to use hydrogen as a fuel anyway, you can add that little overhead and get fuel that you can either burn in ICE or go the whole nine yards, crack it back into elements and put that in fuel cells, and, more importantly, this comes with massive advantage of ammonia being about as easy to liquefy as propane, and we already have propane fuelled cars. Energy density is vastly higher than hydrogen this way, less than propane, sure, but it’s something
Another option is dimethyl ether, but this thing needs to take carbon from somewhere, just like methanol


I mean ammonia is pretty decent fuel in itself, it can be decomposed to hydrogen or burned as is


Methanol or ammonia, both are good


On Venus you also have several hundred, but this time it’s hot sulfuric acid


ezpz just design automatically unfoldable balloon that can survive in clouds of sulfuric acid


(in amogus terms)


There are no instances, users need to exchange their IDs via some other way beforehand


They don’t, FAQ states they don’t even have ability to do so


Reticulum network maybe? There was also Mycelium, but never got out of pre-alpha
Nobody alive should learn solidity, it’s more ethical this way
Re: proofreading this could maybe work for technical writing for ESL authors, but i won’t trust chatGPT with technically confidential data. So we’re back to square one


Scams got automated just a little bit, is it a good or a bad thing?


the other factor is: who’s gonna touch this radioactive pile of bs?


Not if you plan to lose money on made up points amd monke jpegs
nah, you get there by using better materials in semiconductors manufacturing and more importantly better designs overall
