i like your explanation and i even see one more way you are right about this (and i was wrong) : while it might be a long shot investing in this research, the cost of this is minimal compared to the benefit. So, it’s worth the shot (even if the chances of success are … hum … unknowable for now)

Thanks for your reply. You are probably right and I was commenting in frustration about researchers not giving enough credit to nature’s capabilities.

Wild species are extremely good at adapting to evolving conditions. Their ability in this is many more times more powerful than any developments these searchers will produce.

On the other hand, researchers are very good at convincing themselves that they should have more money … well, sometimes they are right.

i hope you are right but I’m growing pessimistic about this and believe it is just another smoke screen

Genocide committed by Israel is in full swing, so, like Joe Biden said (allegedly) to Netanyahu : stop your bullshit.

Two million Palestinians would vomit on your post if they had something to eat. (thanks @oakey66)

Pretending having “peace talks” and being at “war” while in reality commiting a genocide and butchering you makes it even worse.

Safeguards against LSi may include :
Sensor-based detection ?
Error detection and correction ?
Redundancy and duplication ?
Shielding // physical + chemical protection ?
Anti-tamper mechanisms ?
Randomization and noise injection ?

Hi @MicroWave@lemmy.world
Thanks for the wide & balanced news feed. You have more than 10,000 posts now : this is quite an achievement.
Also, very nice avatar logo, keep on the good work 🍰

From LLM :
“The Horseshoe Theory is a concept in political science and sociology that suggests that the far-left and far-right of the political spectrum have more in common than they do with the political center”

(you get my upvote 😄👍)

CdS is insoluble in pure water, yet :

Cadmium sulfide is toxic, especially dangerous when inhaled as dust, and cadmium compounds in general are classified as carcinogenic. (…) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadmium_sulfide

ideally you will hope to have a process in which this powder will be supported on a stable substrate … but eventually, if you don’t use pure water, any impurity can have any chemical composition … so, if you are working in the real world with a mix of unknown soup, you will end up with chemical reactions … especially if there is some acids you will leach out the cadmium as soluble compounds or you may get fragmentation and powder coming out, going to the environment, pickied up by wind, creating dust in the air (…) .

Still, the process might be viable if well controlled and if the gain by eliminating PFAS is great enough.

P.S. this process involves liberation of fluoride so you will get :
Cadmium fluoride : Solubility in water 4.35 g/100 ml https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadmium_fluoride

… using cadmium (also toxic) :
“The proposed method involves irradiating visible LED light onto cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanocrystals and copper-doped CdS (Cu-CdS) nanocrystals with surface ligands of mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) in a solution containing PFAS, FPs, and triethanolamine (TEOA).”

“In … systems theory … emergence occurs when a complex entity has properties or behaviors that its parts do not have on their own, and emerge only when they interact in a wider whole.”

Experimental demonstration of magnetic tunnel junction-based computational random-access memory
“In this work, a CRAM array based on magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) is experimentally demonstrated. First, basic memory operations, as well as 2-, 3-, and 5-input logic operations, are studied. Then, a 1-bit full adder with two different designs is demonstrated.”
https://www.nature.com/articles/s44335-024-00003-3
So, this is experimentally demonstrated, yet, only at small scale.

Thanks onno & @Hackworth@lemmy.world

… “the process universally disintegrates when it ingests content generated by the same process.”

For a Layman enthusiast like me, this sounds like people very isolated (i.e. in a station at the South Pole), go crazy after too much time alone.

Very few lemmy users have enough background to appreciate your work here.

They managed a substantial incremental improvement over previous models by first creating a better set of data as their starting point.

Math problem :
Knowing that Kuwait building fire kills 49 Indian workers, how many Kuwaiti workers would be killed in an Indian building fire ?
(it really sucks to be from a poor country)
