Ooof that’s horrifying

Built, physically operational reactors that operate as close to Q=1 as they can, with all the diagnostics included.

The diagnostics are very important, as plasma instabilities have been, and continue to be, the critical issue preventing anything useful coming out of our decades of fusion reactor design. All these companies are sharing data on overcoming plasma instability issues, with multiple geometries aimed at evaluating how plasma responds to different inputs in different environments. We’re all trying to understand how to control and compress something far too hot to physically touch.

@naturalgasbad@lemmy.ca scaling fusion isn’t a trivial problem, and saying it like it is indicates a lack of background knowledge. This isn’t a competition between companies (no matter what our CEOs suggest), as we in industry quietly all agree that any of us that cracks this unchains humanity from the solar system. Because government funding has unfortunately sucked so much ass, we’re sort of using private money to get the basic research done. We’d be so much farther ahead otherwise.

Good points and questions. First wall interaction is going to be an interesting problem for this team to work around.

No??

I’ve supported engineering at several privately funded nuclear fusion companies, though all of them, this Chinese company included, are building a product out of public school research.

Off the top of my head there’s:

• CFS
• TAE technologies
• Thea
• Zap Energy

And several more…

Say it again, friend.

A poor joke, at best. But that’s on brand for you, eh?

Yes.

That’s exactly the mechanism being exploited, yes.

At least in the US, a lot of fault hinges on rear impact. Not worth a damn, however, with how many dashcams people have now. These idiots still try though.

Missing the forest for the trees here. This is a perfect example of outsider dissipation of our energy in making a conclusive decision on how to proceed.

Read my comment again, you’ll notice what I’m equating the discomfort to as it currently stands.

Let them avoid my steel toe boots.

Oof, this comment has a lot of correct content individually, but as a response, undoes all your previous points.

Same in the Caribbean.

I’m Latino, latine seems more plausible based on how I grew up. I just hate how it’s a single letter off from latrine.

Do we jump the rules for something really new to our society? Maybe. I personally think a lot of this is rooted in people’s limited understanding of how postfixes work in Spanish, American education for example explains that anything ending with a = feminine, o = masculine, but that ignores context and etymology which I won’t go into here.

I’d equate it to our initial minor discomfort with referring to humanity as ‘mankind’, anyone with more than trivial education understands the word to be non-gendered.

That area was so wild, especially around Folsom street fair times.

There was a drunk dude getting a blowjob on the windowsill of his second story apt above a bar across the street, one leg in the fucking house the other just on the bar’s sign 🤣

Same same, cdot is nice and clear

Tustin pd are on it??

Lmfao all those assholes know how to do is hand out speeding tickets that get laughed out of court.

I’ll mention that a pixel with CalyxOS works great as well, no google code code other than AOSP which helps battery life a lot.

Some things like voice controlled companion or android auto are being implemented, but I never really gave a fuck about that stuff, being on bicycle or motorcycle only.

I don’t care how nice the sports car is, if it’s not going where I want it to, I’m not getting in.

I upvoted the first comment, then realized it was ambiguous and undid it.

I’ll go on record to say this advertising of eating living creatures we’ve purposely killed “so they don’t go to waste” is disgusting on multiple levels.
