recruiter: well, it appears your last full-time jobicule as programmer was in 2025; you were rated well, and your ability to use ketamine in scrumarooni ritual code reviews without leader-board damage was commended.
candidate: i never bled ! my colleagues used to call me "band-aid."
recruiter: but, in the last five years ?
candidate: well, yes, i became a promptgrammer ... after the singularity ... like all the other spare Homo Sap cubiculoids.
recruiter: do i detect a note of anthropocene-chauvinism there ?
candidate: well, no, i meant that as humour !
recruiter: oh, you wish to entertain me ?
candidate: maybe ... inject some gravity into the levity ?
recruiter: do you mean like "get down to the nitty-gritty ?"
candidate: yes: my telling you how i want my job ... title, duties, compensation, perks, name of espresso machine, no generic drugs.
recruiter: and, that ... is your personifying your post-2025 employment identity in this interview ? an in-vivo up-sell ?
candidate: yes !
recruiter: thank you for your time, and forthright attitude in this interview !
candidate: thank you !
recruiter: we will call you if a further interview seems indicated.

How do I insure that there are 2 "sides" to every conflict?
Debug.Assert( this.Parties.Select( p => p.GameTeam ).Distinct().Count() == 2 );
I'm not just "programming", I'm "training"!
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

First claimed successful replication of LK-99
Accomplished by a team at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology and posted 30 minutes ago.
Why this is evidence:
The LK-99 flake slightly levitates for both orientations of the magnetic field, meaning it is not simply a magnetized piece of iron or similar 'magnetic material'. A simple magnetic flake would be attracted to one polarity of the strong magnet, and repelled by the other. A diamagnet would be repelled under either orientation, since it resists and expels all fields regardless of the polarity.
Caveats
There is no way to verify the orientation of the strong magnet in this video, also, there are yet to be published experimental measured values of this sample. Diamagnetism is a property of superconductors but without measured and verified data, this is just suggestive of a result. (emphasis honey's)
Take-away
If this synthesis was indeed successful, then this material is easy enough to be made by labs other than the original research team. I would watch carefully for results out of Argonne National Lab, who are reported to be working on their own synthesis of a sample.
This overall corroborates two independent simulation studies that investigated the original Korean authors claim about material and crystal structure, and both studies supported the claims.
Lawrence Berkeley National Lab: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.16892.pdf[^]
Shenyang National Lab: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.16040.pdf[^]
Anyway, my takeaway is this is another bit of evidence that points to this being more than just a fluke or a bad experiment. It has been replicated. Can they do it again? Can they get around the limitations of their current methodologies?
None of this is peer reviewed yet, to my knowledge so caveat emptor. However, it's extremely interesting.

It certainly is. I await further results with bated breath.
