honestly no, for the most part. that's mostly things like automated reports and poo poo. a lot of these blogs pay bloggers in developing countries pennies on the dollar instead. to be honest i'm not sure there's much of a difference in the quality of writing since they're mostly esl and it shows because almost nobody below the level of seven figure monthly audiences pays for a copy editor

Fusion doesn’t do anything better than fission except spend public funds on nuclear weapons adjacent research.

The oil industry will astroturf fusion out of existence the moment it looks viable, as they did to fission so many years ago.

There's two things with fusion: engineering Q > 1 will probably actually happen by 2030 by at least one or two ventures, but fusion will forever have a much higher LCOE than current renewables (ie it isn't economical or practical). It has applications in space propulsion and the navy will probably be interested at some point, but there's not enough tritium in the world by an order of magnitude to ever fully provide full fusion energy for the whole planet.

If this were all happening in the economics of like 30 years ago it would be super promising, but solar PV and wind have gotten STUPIDLY cheap and are so much easier to install.

in what way? from an electricity generation perspective:

fission is fusion but "worse" because it actually exists and we have empirical evidence of its disadvantages

fusion is fission but "better" because since it doesn't exist neither do any of its disadvantages and we can pretend they don't exist since no one is actually making a commercializable design




A Bakers Cousin posted:

yeah sorry for sure all the OG fission research was related to nuclear weapons, I was just meaning the current research into fusion weapons and in particular the computer modeling stuff

they were pretty much developed to test that sustained fission was possible, and to make plutonium, both of which were necessary for nuclear weapons. i guess technically you can go with uranium based weapons and not need a reactor, but mass producing those is basically impossible since highly enriched uranium requires a whole lot of work to separate from natural uranium

the whole "making power" thing was way down the list of priorities
