I'm a nonexpert and don't have time to develop expertise, even lay expertise, in this field. What I want to see before I get excited about fusion iss a practical application of the technology. I'd like to see it power something real: a factory, a server farm, or some other energy intensive facility.
Hopefully this is an important first step, but this seems like an extraordinarily hard problem. Often, scaling these technologies is the most challenging part of implementing them.
it's not about powering something powerful, I'm not sure if you're actually a "kid" like your username suggests, but when generating energy we're looking about the input and output of Watts or Megawatts. So how much energy do I have to put in to get to which output. What you do with that energy doesn't matter, it can be a server farm, it can be your grandmas kettle
Maybe Dang can use ChatGPT to pre-generate some standard low-information replies on every post? It could save a lot of time. I volunteer to help train it to do the "I can build this in two weeks" and "why does company X need so many people" replies.
I don't want to be 'that guy' buuuutttt can you turn down the hostility a few notches please?
I understand that HN is a multicultural place and that people across the globe express their opinions in different ways however, a quick look through your previous comments before deciding to down-vote or flag made me take a look at your previous comment history before deciding whether to down-vote or flag it.
We are all new to HN at some stage which is why I've taken the time to write this in an attempt to be kind, gentle and guiding.
