- Comment on China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible 5 days ago:
In sum, these guys at EAST got the Greenwald limit elevated in their tokamak, which indirectly influences the Lawson criterion: nTTau, density * time at said density * plasma energy released. Lawson is the master finish line for measuring whether a fusion system can actually make more power than it consumes.
To date, when you cross the Greenwald limit, the man/woman in the operators seat should expect the plasma inside the device to become uncontrollable, hurting the reactor by touching the walls or instruments inside, a so-called “disruption”. Only a few topologies like the stellerator can exceed the limit, and so far, only by 5x.
But here we have a way to exceed the limit in the much more researched tokamak. This research has positive impact for all but the weirdest/niche fusion devices.

There are topologies which don’t require steam heating for electricity generation…

Dude stfu. I build diagnostics that go into these systems among others, it’s moving along a lot faster than your dumbass knows.
Remember this comment, fuckhead.

Foam earplugs on motorcycles, folks!
In city at low speeds? That’s ok, you may not need them.
Anything on the highway? Earplugs, the wooshing will eventually woosh your ability to hear away.

Oh dude, glue stick 100%. PETG is my preferred print material, wouldn’t dream of printing without the glue stick.

I encourage you all to read “the plutonium files” if you’d like to read about even more fucked up shit the US govt has done.

I’m glad you posted it. Wherever, as long as I can read it. I appreciate the other person’s spirit too, but just glad for knowledge being shared.

There’s positive tech stuff out here too, bud. You’ll likely need to look for yourself though, the recruiter reaching out to you is better funded for some reason.

Damn, that sucks too. Not sure which outcome I’d pick in retrospect.
- Comment on These should be brought back 1 month ago:
In retrospect we’re all like “how could you make such a mistake”, but I guess ya gotta start somewhere.
Apparently that “somewhere” happens to smell like crispy flesh. Who knew?

If you tear out the parts that talk to Google, then the phone hardware isn’t spying on you. It’s just hardware.
The critical piece tying your phone to Google every 3 minutes is called “play services”.
Calyxos was an OS for the pixel hardware that replaced play services with a FOSS library (called microG) which tricked regular apps into thinking they were talking to and getting responses from Google, when it was actually all happening on your phone.

Got a pixel? Check out calyxos, it’s a free system upgrade that rips out anything google but allows almost everything to work, even the play store and all your usual games and bank apps.
