Is he mad that young adults can stay on their parents’ health plan until age 26?

I only used it for desktop applications. That’s good to know.

Screen sharing in signal seems to work reasonably well.

Helion is a completely different technology vs tokamaks which is what you’re thinking of. They pulse the plasma to create brief bursts of pressure/heating/fusion. They do already have their seventh prototype machine operational so while we can’t independently verify their claims, it’s probably not all bluster.

I have mixed feelings about their approach. They plan to use a deuterium and helium-3 fuel blend. That has a couple major advantages. Most of the reactions will be aneutronic and the energy is released in the form of highly energetic alpha particles and protons. The lack of a high energy neutron is a huge advantage for safety and longevity of a reactor. High energy neutrons are hard to shield from and they cause most materials to get brittle and weaken. Netrons are not good for personnel to be around and they can leave some materials radiactive making reactor maintenance/disposal costly. The other advantage is that since all the energy is released as kinetic energy in charged particles, they don’t have to try to absorb high energy photons or neutrons into a water blanket to drive a steam turbine. Instead, the kinetic energy results in an electromagnetic pulse that can be harvested by the same magnets that constrict the plasma to begin with.

Sounds amazaing, right? So why doesn’t everyone use this approach? Helium is rare, but Helium-3 is especially rare, making up only about 20 parts per million of helium found in geologic deposits. So simply put, it is currently infeasible to use Helium-3 at scale. Helium-3 can be collected as a byproduct of breeding tritium for use in nuclear warheads. Enough helium-3 is produced for some demonstration reactors, but any real amount of demand will quickly outpace what the DOE produces.

Helion plans on breeding their own Helium-3 in Deuterium-Deuterium reactors they will operate. However D-D reactions are not aneutronic. So all the materials lifespan/shielding/ maintenance nightmares that come with operating a nuclear reactor will still apply. That means operators will have to buy very expensive fuel from Helion indefinitely. Helion doesn’t exactly deny this drawback, but I really dislike how much they gloss over it in their public communications.

Here’s a video tour of their test facilities that explains the basics of their approach. https://youtu.be/_bDXXWQxK38

I’m inclined to think they’ve demonstrated enough results that they are likely to be able to build a working unit quickly, however, that would still be a long way off from creating any sort of sustainable supply chain that would be a viable option for anyone beside datacenters.

Are redditors still diamond hands on gme?

It was the circular oasis level of talos principle 2 on a WQUXGA display. I didn’t capture screenshots. https://eip.gg/guides/the-talos-principle-2-south-3-star-statue-puzzles/ If you look at images 9 and 14, the little prism that the red beam connects to was completely erased by dlss. I had to just scan around until the icon for establishing a connection popped up.

Dlss completely hid a small thing I needed to find in a puzzle game. There are game design drawbacks to having the gpu overwrite a bunch of the graphics. A spiffed up image that looks like the game you are playing isn’t necessarily preserving details you need.

The last option is what I do with my PS5 since my receiver doesn’t support HDR or VRR. However, I frequently have audio sync issues that no amount of messing with delay settings solves. So eARC should be considered a solution of last resort.

Why would they bother making an xbox layout when they’ve already gone through the effort of making the xbox controllers compatible with games? What advantage would that have over just using an actual xbox controller or one of the numerous generics?

Well my goal is more of a “get out” than “get ahead.” But maybe that attitude is why I’m not more of a winner.

Dang, guess I should have invested mine like you instead of putting it toward student loans.

The old mechanics are present, but there’s a lot of new mechanics. There’s also actual character dialog and story. If you liked the first at all, I think you’ll like the second. It adds a lot more than just pretty graphics.

Easily one of the top 5 games I’ve played in the last few years. If you like puzzle games, this is worth checking out.

Natural Intelligence has already proposed solutions. The real lie is in expecting us to believe that decision makers would be any more likely to act on the solutions that AI comes up with.

The shape they chose for the frame is a Möbius strip, which has the primary defining characteristic of having only one side and one edge. If you pick a row of keys to follow, after one loop around, you’ll be on the underside of the frame. Continue to go around another full turn and you’ll be right where you started. So both sides are actually just 1 side that loops around with a half turn of twist. A similar math curiosity would be the klein bottle, which has a single surface.

It’s one-sided…

That’s $700 for a digital only edition without a disk drive or vertical stand. It’s $810 to match the features of the PS5.0

Why not? The ps5 is good at pretending to do 4k, but is very much on the anemic side of graphics power for 4k gaming. Why wouldn’t people want a performance bump if it’s available and they can afford to upgrade?

Are you asking about the proposed merger between ARM and Nvidia? I believe that deal has been shut down by regulators.

Its amazing that Tom’s hardware manages to avoid mentioning AMD at all when talking about both discrete and integrated graphics. Intel is behind AMD in all graphics categories.
