Sigh. Bigger ecosystem for the rest of us I guess.

Guess I’m not buying anymore sparkfun stuff.

Shame.

He’s been on the clearly wrong side of bad takes numerous times at this point.

2006: “were the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust exaggerated?”

2010s: racist shit about black people

2019 on: anti-masking drivel

2020: stop the steal

2023: livestream, a poll says 25% of black/brown folks feel a bit weird about if someone were to say “it’s ok to be white”, Scott says “best advice I can give to white ppl, get the hell away from black people, there’s no fixing this.”

Almost every newspaper was already close to breaking, they all basically drop him and syndication cancelled.

Me: Healthy, alive, & pointing and laughing at his dead, dumb ass.

Lol I wonder why it’s always an outback? Like I’ve heard the jokes, but where’d that come from?

More like grouchy Marx, amrite?? Eh? Eh?

I’d talk to you if you were on the map 👍

Be the change 😎

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…

Unlike this captain positivity’s social life, fusion is making some sizable strides forward in short order.

I design diagnostics going into systems like these, there’s a lot of positive news coming our way.

Helion’s gonna have some problems though.

What a low quality joke. The humor was bad too.

They have extremely poor diagnostics on their plasmas on top of everything else.

Lol… glad you got a better answer somewhere else in this discussion.

Be safe out there.

Right?? I literally put them on blast outside the restroom sometimes lol

Their tools still used calculus, just indirectly and without their understanding.

Importantly, I replace dy/dx with ∆y/∆x when I need a really quick sanity check for simple calculations.

I 'member them from early 90s till late 2ks.

The x-ray dept 🤢

Strange, so am I. I’ll refresh the ublock lists again.

Unfortunately no, it appears to have a refresh in progress faster than I can press the reader button, which pulls you out of reader mode.

Here’s an example: https://realgreekrecipes.com/baked-eggplant-with-tomatoes/#recipe

It’s not a big deal, I just block JavaScript completely, but I wanted to bring awareness to this.

Carry an awl and gently shred the speaker through the grille.
