  1. Prof. Tim Garrett University of Utah: "The #thermodynamic forces of #inflation

    Wealth is physically tethered to how much #energy the world consumes. Even as economic production has become steadily more efficient, it has taken 5 watts of power consumption to sustain each one thousand inflation-adjusted dollars of Wealth. From year to year, for over a half century of recently available data, the number varies by a few percent in either direction."

  3. #Supervolcanoes are distinct #thermodynamic entities defined by the explosive ejection of over 1,000 cubic kilometers of bulk deposits (VEI 8) and the subsequent formation of massive #calderas through crustal collapse rather than edifice construction. There's no doom and gloom here, you might just as well relax a bit.

  5. The CEO of this company is total Silicon Valley right wing -pilled, but his tech is fucking solid.

    This is the right way to do #AI.. Fuck GPU’s, design the hardware for probabilistic computing from scratch.

    Result: 10000x less power required.

    This opens the way to me running AI some day: On my own device, without a network connection.

  7. 🤯 #Extropic thinks it’s reinventing the wheel with their #thermodynamic #computing, claiming it’s more energy-efficient than GPUs. 🛑 Spoiler alert: their "ultraefficient" #AI is basically tech jargon bingo with a side of probabilistic mumbo-jumbo. 🚀

    During morning centering, a thought came: #Depression is like #entropy —thoughts muddled, #purpose dissolving, #energy draining away.
    Turns out #brainentropy is real, and the #thermodynamic metaphor offers tools to cope.

  13. In this blog post by EGU Geodynamics Division, Ranpeng Li from GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Germany, explains how coupling #geodynamic models with #thermodynamic principles can contribute towards a holistic understanding of the evolving #mantle convection throughout the Earth’s history.

  15. Heat capacity measurements reveal Majorana fermions

    Researchers in Japan and Korea say they have found evidence for the existence of these elusive quasiparticles in the thermodynamic behaviour of a Kitaev magnet

  16. Analog computers make a comeback for calculating Neural Networks with huge improvements in power usage and time.

    Claims of 5 orders of magnitude improvement in performance 🫨

  18. I persist in being very angry they are calling this a #climate crisis. Then people say "The #weather's warm, you power hungry authoritarian!" and the "science sloganeers" then FALSELY sloganize "Climate is Not Weather".

    No, it is, you slogan-shouting halfwit.

    Where you went wrong was calling it a CLIMATE problem in the first place. It is a #THERMODYNAMIC crisis. Earth is now a net ABSORBER of solar stuff-that-moves-things (energy, capacity to do work).
