New Math Suggests 'Impossible' Third Type of Particle Could Exist


Quantum mechanics has long classified particles into just two distinct types: fermions and bosons.
Now physicists from Rice University in the US have found a third type might be possible after all, at least mathematically speaking. Known as a paraparticles, their behavior could imply the existence of elementary particles nobody has ever considered.

youtube.com/watch?v=KnozAHKTz9… the thing about "clearing the uncanny valley" is that the audacity with which various teams claim they've done it is nearly perfectly inversely proportional to how badly they've stumbled straight into it. and this same cycle has repeated for decades now.
meanwhile, pixar et al have been content to confidently hold a sick handplant at the near edge of the valley, with well-acted stylized characters. at some point you have to ask what ideologies are being upheld here.

November 2020: the Servo project moved to the Linux Foundation, pretty quickly everyone understands that the project is abandoned..

September 2023: the Servo project joined Linux Foundation Europe, and is now one of the most active projects there.

January 2025: Google together with The Linux Foundation have announced a new initiative to fund future development of the Chromium ecosystem.

I wonder how independent Linux Foundation Europe is from the Linux Foundation?

The #Plushtodon (shown here with a small owl pal) is about a third larger than I expected, but I am delighted to report that it is just as friend-shaped as I hoped. :3
A yellow plush mastodon sits in an armchair next to a small brown plush owl. An old-style yellow-on-black Pittsburgh Pirates hat is perched on the mastodon’s head. The armchair sits in front of a pair of bookshelves; the books are difficult to make out, but appear to be largely TTRPG rulebooks and scifi and fantasy novels.

NEW: Platformer has obtained the dehumanizing new guidelines moderating what people can now say about trans people on Facebook and Instagram. Employees tell me these changes are likely to inspire more violence against LGBT people: platformer.news/meta-new-trans…
And in a follow-up questions about whether denying that a protected class violates the hateful content policy, Meta also answers no. It gave these as examples of posts that are now allowed on Facebook and Instagram: "There's no such thing as trans children." "God created two genders, 'transgender' people are not a real thing." "This whole nonbinary thing is made up. Those people don't exist, they're just in need of some therapy." "A trans woman isn't a woman, it's a pathetic confused man." "A trans person isn't a he or she, it's an it." These seem like strange allowances for a policy that begins: “We believe that people use their voice and connect more freely when they don’t feel attacked on the basis of who they are,” and later states flatly, “we remove dehumanizing speech.” It is hard to imagine speech more dehumanizing than to tell someone that they have no gender and are an “it.”

Is AI able to generate a picture of watch showing a specific time? Guess what, it can't. Here is an image #ChatGPT generated and no matter how hard I tried it made the same mistake over and over.

A fundamental issue with #GenerativeAI models is that they haven't seen something before they can't produce it. Watch images on the net all show 10:10 hence models only know how to produce that specific configuration.

If you think you're interacting with something that's "smart" think again!
