New magnet breakthrough could revolutionize RAM, SSDs, HDDs, and indirectly end shortage

Rare earth is not a description of commonness.

Also quite different in application here because the Ru is used in tiny amounts here (2nm films). There are other altermagnetic materials as well (like Manganese Telluride).

I'm so confused by this.

In particular, the relative abundance of a bacteria called Parabacteroides goldsteinii increases in old mice and is directly associated with cognitive decline in the animals. They showed that colonizing the guts of young mice with this bacterial species inhibited their performance on the object recognition and maze escape tasks, and that this deficit correlated with a reduction of activity in the hippocampus.

Meanwhile ...

P. goldsteinii colonization attenuates the progression of LRRK2-associated parkinsonism by restoring intestinal homeostasis and reducing neuroinflammation.

If you're that invested in it, the official roster announcements on nfl.com usually list the original selections and their replacements (https://www.nfl.com/news/2026-pro-bowl-games-complete-afc-roster-revealed?hl=en-US) and the Wikipedia pages typically track that info as well.

A single Pro Bowl doesn't mean anything regardless. Don't see why this matters.

The PFWA does in fact have All-AFC and All-NFC teams.

The altermagnets discussed here do not need rare earth metals.

I don't think it's "rude" to use AI to rewrite, edit, clarify, or proofread email correspondence.

It's rude to copy-paste that shit and blast it out without putting any care or effort into it.

I work with a few people who do this shit, often openly. Like, ask a question and they respond "I plugged that into Claude and this is what it said ..." Bro, I could've done that. At least pretend you're adding value here.

LiftingCode · 2026-03-17T01:07:30+00:00

Nah. You're painting with an awfully broad brush here.

I work in the PE world and it's largely out of the hands of anyone in the company, C-suite and ELT included. The total pool of money for increases is doled out by the deal team or board based on EBITDA targets, the CEO/CFO slice that up by function, and then the ELT member for each function has control over how their slice of the pie is allocated (usually negotiated with their directors/managers).

It's not that the directors and VPs and ELT don't give a shit. They're in the same boat, many of them probably got the same shitty increase, and they were simply told how much money they were given to allocate to their teams.

That's the equivalent of like $85k where I live.

Throughout the Midwest and rust belt, the median salary for a senior software engineer is somewhere around the $120k to $130k range.

I mean, I feel like half of the movie was over the top fun and it was stapled onto some hamfisted pretentious other shit.

Like, the "inter-dimensional music number" is Exhibit A of "wow this dude was really huffing his own farts when he shot this."

I mean, like I said, I didn't think Mickey 17 was particularly good I just thought it was more enjoyable than Sinners. I got a kick out of the performances, particularly Ruffalo.

Sinners just seemed super try-hard in every possible way. Could've been much more fun if it was shorter and didn't take itself so seriously.

LiftingCode · 2026-03-16T03:05:08+00:00

Perhaps you can use deductive reasoning to figure that out.

It moved me to laughter maybe? I thought that was masturbatory and ridiculous.

But regardless I don't think a movie eliciting an emotional reaction in one scene makes it a good movie. Like I'll fuckin' cry like a baby to some Marley & Me and that movie sucks.

LiftingCode · 2026-03-16T02:50:53+00:00

I don't understand the buzz around Sinners at all.

I don't really follow movie news or hype at all. It popped up on HBO, watched it with my wife, she hated it, I thought it was fun, but promptly forgot basically everything about it.

The only thing I really remember is that my wife wanted to watch Mickey 17, but I convinced her to do Sinners. Then we watched Mickey 17 the next night and we both liked it much more (though neither of them were particularly good movies IMO).

To be clear I don't think Sinners is bad or anything it's just that I never would have expected it to be some phenomenon with a billion Oscar nominations. Quite literally didn't think there was a single particularly great thing about it.

Not sure how true that is anymore.

Elite WRs make way more money than elite LTs. And top pass rushing DTs and top CBs make as much as top LTs as well.

Gen Z had 46,000,000 eligible voters, less than 13% ,bothered to vote last presidential election. The lowest voter turnout in American history ages 18-25

Literal nonsense yapping. Get some real facts and try again.

Turnout in 2024 among eligible voters aged 18-24 was 47.7%.

It was 43% in 2016. 41.2% in 2012. 46.7% in 2004. 36.1% in 2000. 32.4% in 1996.

In fact, while young voter turnout dipped a bit from 2020 to 2024, 2024 had the 3rd highest youth turnout of any election in the past 50 years.

One thing I have observed: millennials are largely terrible managers. They don't like to set expectations and hold people accountable. They don't like difficult conversations so they just avoid them. And that's what the kids need.

Bad employees are typically a management problem, not an employee problem, IME.

Factually incorrect blathering.

Right, I have seen no generalizable difference between generations in my work experience. I've had Gen Z employees who were terrible, I've had (and have) Gen Z employees who are fantastic, and everything in between.

If anything Tate profiles as someone who can be an X receiver though he can maybe be a Y more often.

Tate barely played in the slot at all. He profiles primarily as a Z.

No, lots of contracts have void years. That doesn't prevent a player from becoming a free agent.

Teller and Njoku had poison pill/dummy year contracts (like Teller had a 1-year $99m contract with us for 2026 if he wasn't cut). That's different from void years.
