Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Sandbox science. As soon as Bechtel leaves the scientists go cowboy and study anything that just springs to their mind. This really boils my blood. What do earthquakes have to do with anything at LANL or nuclear weapons? Machine learning at a NNSA lab is crazy just crazy.
No actual technical knowledge, huh?
Never heard of how to improve worker safety, health, and environmental management, using machine
learning techniques? Not big on being situationally aware, huh?
If you believe situational awareness only applies to hunters and soldiers and not to scientists in the lab, you are a potential danger to yourself and your lab coworkers. You may have a scientific or technical background, maybe, but probably not at LANL or LLNL, or you are a new hire.

Exactly my point and why it is a waste of time to have something like machine leaning at an NNSA lab. We do not do situation awareness at the labs and as you noted there is no technical knowledge either.

That was referring to you, not to the labs.
