Trump Media Announces Merger With Nuclear Fusion Company

Short article from The Huffington Post:

Trump Media & Technology, the parent company of Truth Social, is set to merge with TAE Technologies, a fusion power company, in an all-stock deal worth more than $6 billion.

The merger would create one of the first publicly traded nuclear fusion companies in the world.

Devin Nunes, a former Republican congressman and the current CEO of Trump Media, will be the co-CEO of the new company, along with TAE Technologies head Michl Binderbauer.

The companies aim to create the first “utility-scale fusion power plant” in 2026.

“Fusion power will be the most dramatic energy breakthrough since the onset of commercial nuclear energy in the 1950s,” Nunes said.

Neat. Did someone build a working prototype or did I sleep through it?

One thing’s for sure, it won’t look like NIF.

By the way I wasn't sure if you were going to publish the physics analysis produced by the chatbot, claiming to show why this won't work. As far as I know it does not reveal anything of a sensitive nature, and results of this sort could easily be generated by other AGI systems. The surprise was that (whether or not it was correct) it produced that answer after only a few questions, from someone familiar in general terms with various aspects of higher mathematics. This reminds me of a story my father told me about von Neumann, evidently he would walk into a room and solve hard problems that had perplexed many people, when he was acting as a consultant to industry or government research labs. I do have the overall impression that the chatbot can do this in some circumstances -- for example its work on 163, and so forth, which still perplexes me in a sense, or this apparent work relating to fundamental physics of plasmas based on Loureiro's work.

This is proof that AI is making us stupid.

Trump is to gut the labs.

By scooby
The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
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...

Rumor corner

By scooby
LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.
