why do we want to hate on other projects.
for cookies, you can try to open devtools, and then go to network tab, and there find the pdf file, and then right click, and you will find an option something in lines of ‘copy as/for cURL’, copy that, and paste somewhere. repeat exercise for some other file. this should give you some pattern as for how to make a query. it most likely just needs a bearerauth/token in header cookie, or something alike that.
in this case try to fetch a list and then fetch your cookies from browser, and use curl and scripting to fetch stuff.
try something in lines of
wget -r -np -k -p "website to archive recursive download"may work, but in case it does not, i would download the the page html, and then filter out all pdf links (some regex or grep magic), and then just give that list to wget or some other file downloader.
if you can give the url, we can get a bit more specific.

Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Researchers prove that atomic vibrations can transfer orbital angular momentum directly to electrons in a non-magnetic materialEnglish
6·17 days agonot my domain, so i looked the title online (the original article is in nature, and not open access, and currently not in uni, so can not access through uni wifi)
here is a theoretical version establishing physics for this effect - https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.23083v1
I am also not reading the linked article, as it is too flowery for me.
so here is a tl;dr - if you know seebeck effect, this should be somewhat easy. seebeck effect is a effect where if there is a temperature gradient in a material, electricity can be generated. i will not go on about why that happens, but as a statistical argument, just keep in mind that as things are heated, they jiggle (very specific physics term, definitely not me stupidifying oscillations). if it is a “bond” between two atoms (aptly named atomic bonds), we consider a quantisation (fancy way to put number to how strong the vibration is, there is more to it, but not for now) of these oscillations as phonons. another thing is that in materials, these bond are often arranged in some special manners. for most materials, these arrangements are periodic lattices, (think junglee gym bars or rubik cube or some other periodic arrangement). in these materials, phonons can often transfer in different modes, always trapped by the ends. in some materials, these bonds can form helices, where phonons instead of going in straight line, will travel across the helix. if you know what angular momentum is then great, if not, think something with some “speed” going in circles. in that case it will have some angular momentum along the axis of that circle. coming back to main topic, here we have some phonon going across helix, having some angular momentum. now essentially this motion of phonon can create spin current. this requires us to go into separate tangent, abou what spin is, which is well hard to explain. in most materials, there are 2 types of electrons, and we just name these 2 spins up and down (and it has practically nothing to do with up or down directions). as to why there are only 2, is a really big topic we are not going into. but roughly, it is because of nature of material. in non magnetic materials, they behave same, but in magnetic materials, they do not. in some other words, you can say magnetic materials are magnetic because these 2 spins behave differently in these materials. in normal current, we have electrons going from 1 direction to another (kinda, but that is tangent to tangent, not going there). in spin current, these 2 electrons flow in opposite directions. since both are electrons, there is no charge difference created, a spin potential is created. this tudy showed that in non magnetic materials (tungsten and titanium), you could generate spin currents by “injecting” a angular momentum from quartz crystal phonon. if yo have ever heard of angular momentum conservation, this is a consequence of that, as spin current is a kind of angular momentum.
as to why this could be special, spintronics (the name for using electron spin instead of charge for generating currents and making devices) requires lower power than electronics. one of the problems was that you required special magnetic materials, this is a demonstration without magnetic materials.
in my physics world, this is big (in a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being theory of everything done, 1 being boring desk work - this is 5-7 - very big in spintronics, and reasonably big electronics), but to someone outside -not that big, like for decade(s). we made first transistors in 50s and 60s, an reasnable electronic devices (the semiconductor chips) by 70s and 80s. we made first spin transistors in 00-10s so i guess another 10 or so years before we see some industry level production.

1·19 days agoi partially agree. i would request you to check back to discussion in the pinned post where we decided to ban schadenfreude. there were lots of bad things happening to bad people, or stopping bad things from happening, and community decided to stop that.

2·19 days agothis would fall in schadenfreude. asking other mods for their decisions. i know the situationm and it was great that he was removed, but him being found guilty is now a bad thing happening to bad person. it is not hateful, so i am contemplating.
sorry to break it to you chief, but in reality, neptune is not darker blue, i learnt it recently, but the darker color comes from some magazine print which got very popularised. from the images, the look basically same.
what does i0 even mean, like what is the sign even for
reason for them not appearing is that xmpp is a largely relaxed platform, that is, all implementations are not equally strict. some may implement certain extensions, others may implement other. encryption (omemo) is a common one that most implement, but then client (the user apps like gajim) may or may not implement them correctly, or they may have a fallback (first communication between 2 clients maybe is not encrypted), and other different problems with encryption being flaky (firstly, it is not perfect forward secrecy, it is a bit prone to failure (messages unable to decrypt), etc.), hence it is not recommended much.

Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Frog gut bacterium eliminates cancer tumors in mice with a single doseEnglish
4·1 month agoas someone who is doing some kind of science - titles are a lot more fancier and designd for absurdity. Often, the decision to perform something is a lot more logical than dciding random animals to test from. for example, some of the people from their group may already have been studying that specific frog line for some reason (maybe for it’s gut only), for example, they may have observed that these frogs live a long life or something, then they decided to find why is that, and may hav ecome to conclusion that it is this gut bacterium. or maybe they may hav eknown of this bacterium, and found out where they could source more of this.
but sometimes, it is totally random luck, lik you accidentally messed up experiement, and spilled some unrelated gut juice from a frog from a separate experiment, and it just so have happened to worked, so you now studied it closely.
I have absolutely no idea what may have happened in this one, and i am not a biologist, so do not know what is the usual way, but it is usually among these.

3·1 month agoI am interested in it, because i have 3 package managers, arch, uv and cargo (binstall) so this covers me well hopefully.
adding to this comment, the best way that we currently know how to extract this energy is using spinning black holes, with theoretical efficiency of ~42% (answer to the universe)(src: a minute physics video precisely on this). the naive solution to just touch them gets like 0.01-0.1% of total energy, so in bad case, we need trillion years.
technically, it uses a lot of energy (depending on how much the blade weighs). it is not electrical energy, but gravitational potential energy

Math Memes@lemmy.blahaj.zone•(sorry for not a meme) Euler's unsolvable conjectureEnglish
2·1 month agobut did euler really try hard enough? my conjecture leaves out just enough room in it’s current form to become unfalsifiable.
on a more serious note, at least 1 part of my reasoning was that someone will give examples of instances where euler was not successful, and the fact that we had to come up with a relatively recent solution, it really puts feathers to euler’s hat









that was really heart warming
