Sounds on brand.

The generation is tricky too, vast majority of it is actually sourced from fossil fuels 😑

Why the hatched ground plane instead of solid?

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…

No. As an engineer, I can and will vouch for building a larger, stronger chain of regret against greed, lest this type of shit happen again years down the line.

The more people scarred by touching and feeling the results of their own greed and hubris, the longer it’ll be before we see such disregard for human life in an engineering firm.

The trick is how many more of us there are. The aristocracy seemed pretty complacent and untouchable, until one day when that changed.

Not saying it’s gotta get to that point, but making people see the direct consequences of their greed would be so good for us all.

Bullshit, these fucks led to hundreds of terrified deaths in pursuit of profit alone.

Accountants, engineers, manages, round em up and make them look through the wallets and personal possessions of the people who perished.

Nothing but time. So long as their testing is rigorous, they will catch up to Boeing… But will they be rigorous? History has repeatedly suggested, no.

But we in the west shouldn’t count on that continually being the case.

I was a long-time Xubuntu fan, tried Ubuntu directly from canonical for my new laptop.

It’s been a bit rocky, all things considered. I think I’m trying something else next time, maybe mint or whatever. Maybe Xubuntu, but only if this snap shit has been cut out.

I support an engineering org server, they access their files via nextcloud with a mariadb server and redis, plus some caching stuff for php-fpm, and an nginx front-end.

No complaints, checks (from what I see) all your boxes and has been very dependable going on 6 yrs now for all their simulation data both large and small off a little 1gbps dell r710.

Don’t install a lot of plugins. The setup documentation seems to be just right, getting you to the ideal destination of reliable and fast. Do take the option to run tasks in crontab, instead of internally.

Oh shit, same! I had to upgrade some oscilloscopes, and thought I’d get these. Dead, instead of a year, all 5x.

Well… At least all the ones related to platform IO and other embedded development. Can’t say every extension, since I’ve not tried them all.

Represent! (It’s vscode with all telemetry and crap removed, all your vscode extensions still work fine)

If you’re comfortable with it, an analog (non-networked) kvm switch can have its button connected to a single input Pikvm via the GPIO. You visit the PiKVM’s webpage, hit a button and you’re now connected to a different machine.

If you have a raspberry pi 1 or 2, this isn’t very expensive, but nets you an open source IP KVM.

Roll your own 😎 lots of folks have a pi 2 that’s not doing much

Maybe some enjoy the open-stack in terms of network security… I’d personally use this in front of a port multiplier, so you can have 8x machines going to a switch, the front of the switch toggled by one of the Pi’s GPIO pins.

Part of it is that the prices for the Pi’s themselves have dramatically increased lately.
