“Elementary, my dear Watson”*…

From Keith Enevoldsen, “The Periodic Table of the Elements, in Pictures and Words“: a periodic table with a drawing of one of the element’s main human uses or natural occurrences. Larger (and zoomable) version here.

There’s another, textual (and more informationally- rich) version here.

* widely attributed to, but never actuallly “said,” by Sherlock Holmes in any of Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories

As we untangle taxonomy, we might send “eureka”-filled birthday greetings to Hieronymous Theodor Richter; he was born on this date in 1824. In 1863, he co-discovered indium (with Ferdinand Reich).

「生成AIの未来を形作るデータアノテーションの重要な役割 」： #INDIUM

「高品質なデータアノテーションの必要性

データアノテーションとは、機械学習モデルが理解しやすいようにデータをラベル付けすることです。モデルが新しいコンテンツを生成することを学習する生成AIにおいては、アノテーションの品質、精度、一貫性がモデルのパフォーマンスに直接影響します。従来のAIモデルとは異なり、生成AIでは幅広いシナリオにわたる広範なラベル付きデータが必要となるため、アノテーションプロセスは極めて重要かつ複雑になります。
生成AIモデル、特にGenerative Pre-trained Transformers（GPT）は、テキスト、画像、音声、動画などの非構造化データと半構造化データで構成される膨大なデータセットで学習されます。それぞれのデータタイプには、異なるアノテーション戦略が必要です。」

China curbs exports of five metals. What are they used for?

China has announced sweeping export restrictions on five metals used in the defence, clean energy and other industries.

Here is what you need to know about them:

Um Kupfer, Indium und andere Wertstoffe umweltschonend und profitabel aus scheinbar erschöpften Bergwerken zu gewinnen, setzt die Uni Freiberg nun Mikroorganismen als „Bergleute“ ein

Europa braucht neue Galliumquellen jenseits von China, um bei Spezialhalbleitern für Handys und Autos mitzuhalten, warnt FCM Freiberg. Auch der neue CO2-Zoll der EU könne für Lieferketten-Engpässe sorgen.

#Indium

A major obstacle for many people to buy an electric car rather than a traditional one is the typically long time it takes to recharge the battery. Now a lithium battery has been developed that can be stably recharged of an extended cycle of charging and discharging in just five minutes. It makes use of an indium anode. However, one problem is that indium is heavy and would better be replaced by some other material. See http://www.neat-news.com/2024/01/27.php. #indium #battery #fast_charge #electric_car

UrFU scientists have discovered that the use of #gallium and #indium can make the process of pyrochemical reprocessing of #nuclear fuel cheaper while maintaining its efficiency.

2013, #GeoscienceAustralia conducted a study of ‘Critical commodities for a high-tech world’. It found Australia was rich in #antimony, #beryllium, #bismuth, #chromium, #cobalt, #copper, #graphite, #helium, #indium, #lithium, #manganese, #molybdenum, #nickel, #niobium, #platinum group elements, #rareearth elements, #tantalum, #thorium, #tin, #titanium, #tungsten and #zirconium.

#Bismuth, #indium and #tin are top metals anyway IMHO 🥰 ,, but could they be the future of flexible, foldable robotic things? https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/06/liquid-metal-could-turn-everyday-things-like-paper-into-smart-objects/

@psychicparrot42 I recently learned that #indium is by far better than anything out there for heat conductivity. They sell it in thin sheets that you can cut and apply. No mess is generated.

#Indium 2.1.4 is out with support for using a different remote path for debugging #NodeJS projects:

https://indium.readthedocs.io/en/latest/debugger.html#setting-a-different-remote-root-nodejs

#emacs #javascript #debugger

#Indium currently fails to resolve breakpoints on #Windows https://github.com/NicolasPetton/Indium/issues/161. A fix is landing in master soon. #emacs #javascript

The documentation and installation instructions of #indium have been updated. If you use Indium from @melpa_emacs you should read it https://indium.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html #emacs #javascript

The new client/server architecture of #indium landed in master! Some explanations: https://emacs.cafe/emacs/javascript/indium/2018/08/14/indium.html #emacs #javascript

Was #indium's sourcemap handling too slow for your use cases?

Give this branch a try https://github.com/NicolasPetton/Indium/tree/wsc, we have a brand new and much much faster websocket client implementation.
