By controlling and interrogating the quantum spin state of this crystal defect, researchers have been able to demonstrate field detectivity down to nT/Hz1/2 on length scales of a few tens of nanometers.
So only have to improve it by 14 orders of magnitude.
So well after Russia invaded Ukraine.
How do you think they got to be billionaires in the first place?
What is this fascination with numbers? It is absolute possibly to become a billionaire without doing any bad things. The fact that there are no billionaires that I am aware of who have not done bad things is not an argument that all billionaires do bad things to become billionaires. In other words, it should not be assumed that being a billionaire proves that you are a bad person.
It is actually quite disturbing to me that numerous people appear to think like this. The position assumes you know what is right or wrong in every situation. The world is not that black and white. Please stop this idiocy and THINK.
Speaking of thinking... It seems to me that Taylor Swift is a billionaire. What evil thing did she do to become a billionaire? Give millions of dollars to her team as a Christmas bonus? Without getting all "Cardinal Richelieu" on her, what has she done that earns the title of "awful"?
as opposed to an extremely niche use product with only novelty toy value for most people.
Niche product? AI is absolutely perfectly for a surveillance state. It can watch billions of video feeds at the same time and make judgements on a person's behavior. Society will finally be sorted.

When there is an imbalance in the economy, there is always a regular call to raise taxes on one entity or another. But why? Why not pass laws that ensure that money flows properly so it can be harvested in a healthy and sustainable manner?
Instead, it is ALWAYS "hey, lets tax this money so it can be sent into a black hole of corruption and mismanagement", when the "wisdom of the masses" can be used to manage the money more efficiently.

Thankfully you recognize this as a propaganda piece. Not sure how it came up on Slashdot. Probably just to get outrage clicks.
I suspect many Americans who can't pay for a $500 emergency expense are in this category.
There are. Just like there are fat people who are fat because they overeat. But just concentrate on those since it is simple to grasp. Do not EVER think of anything else that could be a factor since self discipline is always an easy target. People are not robots.
It's a thing. Don't buy the food, don't eat the food.
So you think that the obesity epidemic is caused by a lack of discipline?
When I was a kid, fat people were the outliers, not the mainstream. Since then, our food has been engineered. And suddenly everyone just lost their self-discipline? Or was the food engineered to have certain effects that may be undesirable on a personal level but highly desirable at the group level (if you own medical corporations)?
Self-discipline has ALWAYS been an issue throughout history... but not like this. But, whatever. You appear to be happy living in this manipulated and corrupted society, so why would you look?
Well, in this case, a distinct lack of needing to compile shaders.
And consoles have been 'PCs in fancy cases' since the OG Xbox. Arguably the Dreamcast.
I don't think any trajectory that ends under 6% can really be called skyrocketing.
Your personal wealth is less than 0.0009% of the entire worlds wealth. Your wealth suddenly skyrockets to 6% of the entire worlds wealth. Oh wait, it didn't skyrocket... it lazily flopped to 6% of the world's wealth?
I am curious how they identify kids that are using VPNs to non-hostile countries to then do what they want on the Internet. Are they blocking all VPNs? Are they decrypting all traffic leaving Australia? I can't imagine that the law is anything other than the most minor annoyance to minors.
Or are you folks keeping your kids uneducated and ignorant over there like they are in the USA?
