💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🧲💡 Sang-Woo Kim’s team at #Yonsei University in #SouthKorea built a small floating capsule that purifies #water using only magnetism.
Shaking it for three seconds powers a sensor and generates electrostatic fields that pop open bacterial membranes, with no #batteries or #chemicals required.

New instance, new #introduction time.
Formerly intrepidhero@vmst.io.
I post a lot of #hiking, #mountaineering, and #caturday pictures, #cooking, #gardening, #diy projects, esoteric #programming and grumpy #tech and #design thoughts, and #poetry, both my own and attributed. I like #scifi and #fantasy and when I post about politics it will get a CW.
Posts are meant to be ephemeral. Anything I want to keep up long term will end up on my website.

LLMs don't "know" anything. They're just guessing the next word. 🤯
But that guess is built from 100B+ parameters, trained on basically the internet.
We explain how it works, why it lies sometimes, and how to run one (Gemma 4 / Qwen 3.6) on your own PC.
