I didn’t know Jacob Drawfee posted here. BONUS

More people around bitching that they can’t farm karma with their tired opinions.

I actually think you have to go so slow that your (probable) position extends to the other side of the wall. Unfortunately speeds that slow are incompatible with (the processes of) life.

Nope, the Aussies quantum entangled whole atoms, and were able to do a Bell test on objects with rest mass. It’s news: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp9n5QwVgu4

BTW, before a detector aparatus can be created, many physics results were (are?) identified through observation, which might include a measurement or might be qualitative.

It’s Goodhart’s Law.

IIRC, most of the people that actually work at ITER don’t expect to live to see commercial fusion.

We’ve achieved controlled ignition several times, but there’s a lot of steps still between that and delivering fusion power to your local grid, and I don’t think I would trust anyone to give a concrete timeline.

I really thought Polywell Fusion would be the trick, but Australians (and probably the US DoD) have good evidence it doesn’t “scale” in a way that will give a energy-positive/fuel-negative cycle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polywell#University_of_Sydney_experiments

Thank you for the link, TIL. I really thought it was still a bigger problem than that.

My point mostly stands; I’d personally like to get to where I feel independent without a personal vehicle, and I think it would be better for all of us if there were fewer of them in active use.

Climatetown represent!

That’s not the only reasons you might not be able to walk, and we do need to keep non-walkers in mind when designing cities.

I believe there are better solutions that each individual operating a multi-ton machine that requires non-renewable resources. (Even my EV requires tire changes, and AFAIK, we haven’t figured out a cyclic economy for them.)

Downey is invited to the BBQ, but he’s not trying to go full Dolezal. Never go full Dolezal.
