Say your reactor has a neutron injector on a rotor. The fission fuel has started vibrating, creating a feedback loop that could cause the reaction to become unstable. Running the rotor in reverse would change the pattern of incident neutrons just enough to stop the vibration. And the way you make a rotor go the other way is by reversing the polarity of its drive current.
That's the best that I could ground this technobabble off the top of my head.
Indeed. Typical MAGA-level of no insight whatsoever.
especially with how tepid the results are for the money poured in, it seems much more the case that we are seeing a lot of nakedly cynical playing of the 'give us what we want, lest the chinese win' by people who are otherwise on deeply shaky ground
I'm ok with it as long as I don't have to bail it out if it fails.
And now accuse Peter Gutmann of the same. I dare you.
Incidentally, I know what is at stake. But I also, quite unlike you, understand why "QCs" are not a credible threat.
You still have not read or understood what I wrote. There is nothing wrong with Physics experiments. There is a lot wrong with claiming Physics experiments are computers, when they are anything but.
Not all of them, but most of them. Which is one reason why they like LLMs so much.
You seem to be disconnected from reality. The problem are not tariffs. The problems are unpredictably changing tariffs.
Your evidence has no connection to your argument.
The thing is, it is not a narrative. They have worked pretty hard at making it a reality.
Your assertion that this information is actionable is totally unsupported by any evidence.
Only by any evidence you have seen. Which seems to be none at all, as you so conveniently state. And that is because you have not looked. Really, all you are doing is showing how incapable you are.
What stupid-ass summary is that? What you should not do is predict a technology will be useful "soon" when all the evidence says otherwise. For QCs, if they scale linearly (they likely do much worse), they will be a problem for current encryption around the year 4000 or so. There is nothing wrong with running Physics experiments. But you need to see them as what they are.
Pay attention. These jobs are _already_ in China. This is about bringing them back. Which is a _lot_ more difficult.
