Don't feel bad! I just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out why my datatable data doesn't match the query in SSMS only to find that a parameter had changed. Sigh | :sigh:

It's the whole thing at the moment of 'Do This' the reply of 'ummm Okay with what and how?' Not least of which is

I have done it more than I can / care to remember... but a big % of those "stupid" questions have actually shown that there were faults somewhere else, that would have gone unattended if I hadn't asked that "stupid" question.

When I have trained newbies I always told them to ask everything: there are not stupid questions, only the answers might be it.

Today some physicists created ambient temperature superconductivity. If true this is watershed moment for our species.

Edit: Kenneth H. found this: https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.12008[^] (not peer reviewed yet)

Some years ago a couple of physicists somewhere in the US made a similar claim. Needless to say they could not provide proof.

Yeah.

Still, I'm keeping my eye out for any more information on this. It came by me indirectly through "the platform formerly known as twitter" (I refuse to call it X), which I don't haunt, but someone posted it elsewhere.

Since then I've been meaning to google some.

ArXiv is to my knowledge not peer-reviewed, so you will have to use your own brain to review the information. Which might be difficult (read: a lot of work) Smile | :)

It's one of those things I really don't understand the use.

The only time I see something related to superconductivity, they are levitating something.

I'll go educate myself.

It changes computing. It's like the invention of the transistor. That order of magnitude, maybe more in terms of what it allows us to do with silicon.

Supercomputing at your desktop. Supercomputers that make the current ones look like toys.
