If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Initial data shows an energy output greater than 3.5 megajoules. "It’s always thirty years to commercial fusion"
Also, "Some conditions apply" to that "net energy gain" number

The money almost ran out, time for new investors.

And how much is lost converting that to steam to run the turbines?
It always amazes me that tech like nuclear power (and I suppose one day fusion) still uses water to generate usable quantities of electricity. (Plutonium powered spacecraft don't count.)

Quote: Although many scientists believe fusion power stations are still decades away
I wonder which will come first? Commercial quantum computer or nuclear fusion?

Not content with telling its own staff that apparently its own platform isn't good enough to enable remote work, the latest terms of service suggest that data shared on the platform will be used to train its AI models. That 'zoom' you hear is the sound of people changing to another video chat service
Of course, all the others are probably already doing that
Edit: aaaaaaand reversed Zoom reverses policy that allowed it to train AI on customer data | Engadget[^]

AI will not learn much from this fossil, shame. If it does, it will probably fall under the "false information" category...

I pity the AI that tries to learn from my rambling conversations. They think AI hallucinates now? Ha! Just wait...

I already wondered how long would it take for MS to try it with teams... Zoom got there faster.

A team of researchers from British universities has trained a deep learning model that can steal data from keyboard keystrokes recorded using a microphone with an accuracy of 95%. Clicky keyboards deemed insecure
I know, incorrect joke as Mac keyboards are quite quiet. How about, "Sounds just like 'P@ssword1' again"?

This is exactly why I have a cone of silence over my keyboard.
No one getting my data.

Boffins have spent two years monitoring the computers of office staff at a large Texas energy concern and found that workers did less and made more mistakes in the afternoon – particularly on Fridays. Good thing I didn't psot this on Friday!

With the famous BenchmarkDotNet library you can benchmark a lot - but it doesn't stop with a single .NET version. With a ruler calibrated in .NETs

The first paragraph lays lie to the title: "could be"
Reading the whole article it becomes very clear that they are just looking at computer time. From experience during COVID we know that computer time isn't a good indicator for most jobs.

The sad part is that COVID had to come to this to be taken seriously...
It has never been.
Same as for "lines of code", "mouse activity" and other moronic parameters some idiots want to sell / buy as performance / effectivity values.
