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.

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...

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.

LLNL un-diversity

By scooby
Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
