Oh, okay, so that is what you guys are talking about.

The meaning of words, which I forget the meaning.

To us layman, for example electricity goes through a wire medium, and that is called conductive materials. However that copper wire, still loses some of that electricity. That is just a fact of life.

Superconducting means that loss of electricity in that medium will be close to zero.

China has now become the number 1 Car exporter in the world!! WSJ: let's find a way how to spin this terrible news against China's head by blaming Russia and China, then make China look like the incoming predatory industrialist for not siding with the west in the Ukraine conflict.

This recent news of Chinese becoming number 1 exporter of automobiles should have been done in an objective manner so that their audiences would be informed and empowered in trying to make their country more competitive and open to understanding why China managed to climb up on this sector that was not anticipated properly in their country's experts.

Instead, WSJ had to make this video report treating their audiences as if they and we're all retarded. This ain't the 90's man.

Latest word on LK-99 superconductor:

Zero resistance observed at about 110K (but not above), so there's something here. However superconducting material at above 110K has long been discovered before:

So you can see back in the 90s there are already materials known that are superconductors at temperatures of 150k at standard pressure.

While it's not a room temperature superconductor it may be showing new approaches to this problem. Southeast University team now doing things like swapping copper for gold in the formula to see what else could result from this.

TBH, this WSJ FUD is way lighter than I would expect. That China becomes the #1 car exporter is a bitter pill for the whole west to swallow. Auto is the number one industry. Since its invention, the west has had a monopoly on the entire auto eco-system. More amazingly, this is happening when the US auto market is essentially closed to China. Yes, I know, GM and Ford export a few made-in-China models to the US and Volvo has a production site in South Carolina. But I bet my entire net worth that US polity would do whatever it takes to block car imports from the real Chinese cars like BYDs or GWs. In that context, that WSJ video is not nearly as poisonous I would expect.

AMD has a very limited AI framework, only works on single OS. I don’t really see what they can come up with software wise for their AI chip to work. Their GPUs aren’t bad, but without software to back them up.

I am actually surprised that no one has attempted, at least not seriously to write something with OpenCL for serious machine learning training and such.
