The energy output is 80% neutron radiation. Surround the reaction chamber with a mix of molten lead (for neutron multiplication) and lithium (for tritium breeding) and run some cooling pipes through it.
Yeah its the same here about most new technology like ai and improvement in solar and battery technology. One thing I have noticed is that some of the most vocal people have formed their opinions years ago and now they are not aware or ignore all the changes/improvements that have occured since.
It used to be that blue checks represented celebrities, official brands, journalists and politicians. Now it's almost exclusively right-wing trolls and Elon stans. How is this an improvement?
I'd be very interested to see the breakdown of input energy costs. Most notable is the raw energy cost required to power the lasers and control machinery in the experiment. But then there are other costs, all of which must be amortized over time for any real-world use case to exist. I say this because the journalists in this piece imply that net gain is simply based off of the amount of energy pumped into the experiment while it operated, but the total input energy would clearly be more than that.

On the extreme end, there's the energy cost of building the machine and engineering its components. For the vast majority of these, we can probably all agree that were a fusion power plant to be built, the net gain would fully eclipse these initial inputs fairly quickly. This may sound silly, but remember that the economic context where fusion so often sits is one that centers on renewable energy and sustainability. These costs do have to be accounted for.

On the other end, there's the energy cost consumables. For example, the deuterium and tritium fuel input into the device, which need to be purified (deuterium from water, possibly tritium from the atmosphere) or otherwise isolated (from what I understand, tritium is a byproduct from fission reactors and they serve as its primary source in scientific applications). It may well be that the energy cost of acquiring these consumables is fractions to fractions of a fraction of the energy cost of running the device, effectively constituting a rounding error. But I think when we're talking about net gain, a clear definition and accounting of the input energy required to run the experiment would be useful to communicate to the public.

I hope we see disclosure of these details with all the expected caveats when the peer-reviewed article goes to print and journalists have another feeding frenzy.
I had written a long reply but I don't think it was particularly constructive. I'd dispute it being inaccurate to talk about a generational divide when one clearly exists. We shouldn't avoid discussion of such a divide to save blushes.

I think one can be simultaneously excited about a big breakthrough like this, but also understand that there's still a ton more to do before we have viable fusion power.

And it's unreasonable and annoying to expect everyone to say "This is amazing, but..." rather than just "This is amazing". Yes, we know, fusion power isn't ready, and we have no idea when (or if) it will be.

I haven't been "holding my breath". I've been watching from afar, checking in occasionally (like when this sort of news comes out), and I genuinely think this particular breakthrough is exciting. I don't need the tiresome -- yes, incredibly, frustratingly tiresome -- legion of naysayers coming in and stating the obvious every single time.

Contrary to popular belief, the US is socialist. Many people live on income received from the government.
Engineers tend to have a problem solving demeanor towards novelty, which is excellent for finding the problem with things.

Showing a room full of problem solvers an unfinished problem that lacks critical supporting evidence will no doubt elicit a general response in the skeptical-to-cynical range.

I would respectfully argue that is is a health and normal response given the audience, and should be an expected bias on HN.

This is a “show me the evidence don’t tell me about the possibilities” crowd.

I for one and deeply excited if the data proves out, but my bias is “wait and see.” This could be a massive leap towards proof it will work.
Wow, it's almost like ADHD is independent of mental health.

Look, if you want to die, go right ahead. But leave me and my family out of it. We love our lives and each other and I'd like for us to live as long as we can. Proclaiming your disdain research in this field because "death is good" without elaborating on that (and when the obvious conclusion is the exact opposite, see: The deaths of children with cancer, the deaths of world-changing intellectuals like Von Neumann, the eventual deaths of every good person/pet that you know), does not come off in a flattering light for you.

You're not hearing me. Taking the 5 to GC is slower. It takes 45 minutes (according to the timetable) to ride the 5 from Gun Hill Road to Grand Central for what is effectively an 11 mile route.

How is this "lack of results"? This particular announcement is a huge result!

Maybe it's not the result you think it should be ("with all they hype over decades, we should have fusion power by now"), but... too bad. It is what it is, and this particular announcement is indeed impressive.
And the internet isn't print journalism, yet it struck a near-fatal blow to newspaper budgets. That's the economic side of it.

> We are releasing Unstable PhotoReal v0.5 trained on thousands of tirelessly hand-captioned images

They seem to have created a much smaller dataset than LAION's, it would not work to train a generative model on such a small amount of images (obviously the images here do not have a single domain).
Because people and news organisations see these results and run with the idea that having equal in your coffee gives you anxiety. When the research is giving an animal that weighs 0.03 percent of an average human, 15 percent of our recommended maximum. Thats 8 cans of soft drink worth of sweetener to a 19-gram mouse.

> This website is seriously infested with reflexive contrarians and it’s a not healthy.

I don't know. Looking closely at the article reveals that the researchers achieved 1.2x energy gain from the lasers, which are about 1% efficient. Given the SOTA for such lasers is closer to 20% efficiency, this means that they achieved about 60% of break-even. But that's energy, no electricity. Even with the best current methods, about 60% efficiency is the best we can hope for in terms of getting actual electricity from this. So in practical terms they achieved 30% of break-even.

Is that good progress? I'd say so, for sure. Is this a breakthrough? I don't know, especially since the article itself says the data is still being analysed and the actual results aren't published yet. 95% of the article is just fluff about the potential and quoting 3rd parties who celebrate a result that hasn't even been officially confirmed yet.

So, no I don't think it's cynicism, I don't think it's contrarianism, and I do think it's VERY healthy to approach sensationalist headlines with a level-headed and down to Earth attitude instead.

> While the term “influencer” often conjures up images of vacationing women who are as thin as they are wealthy, the reality is that it’s a broad industry, and cooking, cleaning, parenting, and budgeting influencers

They should also mention tech influencers. Weren't tech bloggers the first influencers? For me it was Spolsky, Atwood, Hanselman, etc. I like the idea of more down to earth celebrities rather than just movie stars and sports players. And a recession could simply divert attention from the luxury/travel influencers to other types. Or maybe that is what people want when they can't afford to buy luxury or travel.

spot. Boys think its cute. She's happy. Some mean bitches tell her
it's ugly and probably skin cancer. Now it's a problem. Nothing in
reality had changed of course. And that's how solutions looking for
problems go about the world creating new problems. It's in their
interest to.

Probably not directly related, but mainly due to fewer opportunities. This is one of the reasons I strongly agree with universal basic income. The capitalistic game is harder than many people are capable of playing. They shouldn't have to suffer enormously because of that, and neither should society. Otherwise, should we assert that ethics are inherently easier for some people, yet penalize all people the same regardless of their capacities?

I guess the retort is that even when such projects fail, they leave behind something material that can be repurposed.

> Is there any evidence ADHD is genetic? The only connection I've read about is that parents who are diagnosed with ADHD are more likely to have their children diagnosed with it, but that itself is not evidence of a genetic trait.

Short answer: yes, there's lots of evidence of genetic factors. One reason this isn't better understood is that a close relative can have undiagnosed ADHD, so people don't see the family ties. And also because it's stigmatized in some families, it's like a "don't ask, don't tell" situation.

I mentioned a great podcast by Dr. Andrew Huberman, a Stanford neuroscientist earlier in the thread that mentions how the genetics of ADHD works [1]:

I've never really gotten the "proliferation risk" in the context of US power production (or China, Russia, or even France, for that matter). We're talking about existing nuclear powers, they already have the capacity to make nuclear weapons. If they wanted more they would make more, for the simple reason that having nuclear weapons is table stakes for being a serious player in geopolitics.

All this Reddit/Bitchute/newspaper stuff is a non sequitur — we're talking about Twitter and Mastodon, not any of those other things. Censoring Mastodon is a new policy under Elon.

The point of the "hate speech" comment is that there's a plausible reason to suppress Bitchute that doesn't involve stifling competition (especially because, as GP mentioned, Bitchute isn't actually a competitor to Twitter). So it's not even analogous to what's happening here.

I'm a late ADHD diagnosis (37 now, diagnosed 35) and one thing I noticed is that I needed way less than they would prescribed. I was given 2 15mg tablets a day, and I would take 1/4 of one once in a morning, maybe twice a week. It has been life changing, for days when I need to work through a to-do list rather than something intrinsically motivating. But if I had continued with the prescribed does, I would have stopped—since it had so many side effects.
Also this assumes we get 20 years and the science budget will not be eaten by emerging endless crisis and wars.

I would guess business trying to sell stuff will gauge which of the available avenues - i.e. influencers, ads on facebook, ads on the side of a muni bus, etc. - helps them sell their stuff more effectively and cheaper...Certainly not every business nor every product/servcice is the same, but i would guess if using influencers is not as cheap or effective, then yeah, that practice might wane a bit; though it will difer per industry, per product, per business, and so on.
Despite seeing myself almost precisely described in that video and the original article, and despite having been diagnosed with ADHD as a college student...

I realize anecdotes aren't data etc. etc. but my grandpa was very fit up through retirement (and stayed spry after retirement) since he repaired dishwashers, washing machines, and dryers for his whole career. Still got an absolutely terrible case of Alzheimer's that led to his death (and made me much more worried about my potential of getting it when I get older). Won't even try to think about if he and my grandma were sexually active though, too gross.

So being physically fit definitely doesn't guarantee you won't get Alzheimer's.

Windows ME still had the same loading sequence as Windows 95/98. That is, DOS kernel booted and then loaded the Windows code. Now it is true that Windows 95 and above mostly bypassed DOS once it was loaded, and DOS was used as merely a boot loader. And Windows ME made that more hidden. But you could still extract a DOS version out of ME (open a command window, use "format /s", then copy the various DOS command executables from the one directory to the floppy). You could then use this to boot DOS, and type "win" or something like that to load Windows ME.
