That's the absolute worst analogy of wormholes as well. They don't fold space, so stop folding the piece of paper.

If it ends up working though it's not a waste of power is it? And if it doesn't work then, oh well.

Big tech companies do a lot of cramp, but this one I actually don't really mind. You never know we might actually get the Star Trek utopia we've always wanted from this, it's unlikely but it's not impossible.

The best way I have heard it described is that Fusion is going to happen next year but probably not in the next 12 months.

We think Fusion must be coming soon because we understand all of the fundamental principles around how it works, so what we need to do is put those principles into practice. For some reason though that doesn't quite work what we end up with is a machine that makes a lot of noise but doesn't really achieve anything

It's also not as if there are not other nuclear power stations in existence. There is plenty of storage capacity as you say.

This is just the standard hating everything tech companies do because, AI equals bad

This wouldn’t just hurt Google – this would have negative consequences for Android users

Oh please, as if Android users don't sideload apps all the time. It's like the number one reason to get an Android phone over an iPhone is that you can sideload apps onto it relatively easily.

We just write them off when they board the Ryan air flight.

The EU has always been prepared to negotiate with Russia why wouldn't they. But Russia has indicated on multiple occasions that it has absolutely no interest in negotiation. Of course Russia has long gone past the point at which negotiations would end favorably for them, but that's their fault.

So this idiot is calling on the EU to do something that they were always prepared to do, and continue to be prepared to do. Meanwhile his chum is the one getting in the way.

At, so they are good plans then and likely to work.

You have to be on some pretty spectacular drugs to fall over the railings of a balcony. Millions of people all over the world manage to not do it by accident all of the time.

They've already demonstrated they can get it in orbit. The fact that they've not done it for this mission was intentional, not a limitation. They wanted the ship back, they didn't want it sitting around in orbit doing nothing being in the way. They don't actually have a mission for it yet, its mission is to prove that it works, so if they put it in orbit then what?

The whole point is that once it's in orbit it has virtually no fuel on board, because that's how they get around the rocket equation, they do fuel transfer on orbit. So in the testing scenario they would have a vehicle with virtually no maneuvering capabilities parked in a stable orbit more or less forever. Eventually its orbit would decay and it would uncontrollably into the Earth, which I think we can all agree is a bad thing.

Why you continuously talking about AI you're the only one talking about AI here I'm talking about power load in general. And what you can do is irrelevant because you aren't the only human on the earth. Lots of people are not in a position to put solar panels on their roof so their load has to be supplied from the national national grid. Where does that energy come from at night?

Yeah, That's what base load is.

It would be really nice if you could educate yourself a little bit rather than being rude to people on the internet.

That cannot possibly work. The easiest workaround would simply be to highlight all of the text it'd be pretty obvious to see that a section of text was now highlighted that was previously invisible.

Oh for 4 seconds worth of work you could just rewrite the assignment into the context window. It's like 10 words
