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?

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 🤣

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.

I don’t think sms will go away, that ping is fundamental to GSM & LTE so far as I can tell.

You may need an app that explicitly taps into the sms feature though

That’s what the article theoretically exemplifies, avoiding emission in the first place is the best bet.

Very lucid and clear comment, now I gotta ponder it. Thanks for the kindling.

I saw the same when I lived in OC. It’s pretty lively up here in Seattle too.

Same, I’ve been team calyx for several years now, the dev rocks and I’m very happy to donate to them for keeping my pixel 3 running.

Just about the only good thing he’d done.

Nah, what’re you talking about?

Case in point: whose foot?

Lol I’m a mechanical engineer with a lot of experience in software, so maybe that alters my protective a little.

It’s a beautiful Friday, enjoy.

Private industry now, which has its own problems. I previously worked in water/sewage, so even a recycled design works. The focus was quality for the public, we just had 6 guys doing a 2 man job. I secretly think there are more people than jobs at this point.

Private industry in a different field, it’s all about speed, quality be damned. Luckily I’ve gotten the chance to show quality leads to less time wasted overall.

Still a love of meetings and shit though, private or public. Waste of life time.

As a PE, fuck that guy, that’s fucked up.
