  • Inertial confinement doesnt produce a “stable reaction” it is pulsed by it’s nature, think of it in the same way as a single cylinder internal combustion engine, periodic explosions which are harnessed to do useful work. So no the laser energy is required every single time to detonate the fuel pellet.

    NIF isnt really interested in fusion for power production, it’s a weapons research facility that occasionally puts out puff pieces to make it seem like it has civilian applications.

    Imagine the AI was 100% perfect and gave the correct answer every time, people using it would have a significantly reduced diversity of results as they would always be using the same tool to get the correct same answer.

    People using an ai get a smaller diversity of results is neither good nor bad its just the way things are, the same way as people using the same pack of pens use a smaller variety of colours than those who are using whatever pens they have.





  • If you want to be like that then “people” love trump and musk everywhere and its not unique to the UK. Saying “people here love trump and musk” when for example 55% of people in the UK have a “very unfavourable” opinion of him is very misleading. More people are very unfavourable than unfavourable, neutral, favourable very favourable and don’t know put together.
