Do you know that some Linux distros can not be downloaded in Cuba? Or
that you can not register in the support mail lists or forums?
No, any references?
Is that King Kong enforced or by the Cuban government?
But that sort of censorship is everywhere and getting worse.
rt.com is blocked here in the Netherlands on internet by local providers Russofobia!
Easy to get around in Linux, modify /etc/resolv.conf so it reads:
cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
Those are the google name servers, and those do not block rt.com
No idea what else they block here..

NIF has got (with a little help from us) several times the fusion
energy out compared to light energy in, but wall-plug efficiency is
still something like 1%, partly because the flashtube pumps emit wide spectrum light, little of which is coupled into the laser glass.
Pumping with semiconductor lasers would couple better.
Still, it's a long shot to generate power this way.

Unlimited energy is unlimited waste heat. Dissipating that waste heat
takes more energy and appreciable mass flows. Making small scale
electronics more energy efficient isn't usually motivated by energy
saving, but by desire to spend as little money and space as possible on
heat sinks.
A usual idea to get fusion "pumping the magnet" without
"self-sustaining ignition" per se is simple and obvious.
But so far impracticable for anything smaller than a star.
The old ideas of "chemically-assisted" or "low-energy"
nuclear reactions are still around (CANR/LENR).
Yeah, yeah, I know, "Pons and Fleischmann hoax".
It wasn't a hoax. It was a set of unexplained results, which - as far as
I know - still haven't been explained
Yet, Fritz London is still about the super-coolest physicist.
But he didn't say anything about low-energy nuclear fusion. The only
version I know about it is
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muon-catalyzed_fusion
which is impractical.

If they have "unlimited electricity"
it's not complicated, difficult, nor expensive,
to make "sustainable aviation fuel"
from air and water with a quite simple and low-maintenance plant,
that also being carbon-neutral.
Unlimited energy is unlimited waste heat. Dissipating that waste heat
takes more energy and appreciable mass flows. Making small scale
electronics more energy efficient isn't usually motivated by energy
saving, but by desire to spend as little money and space as possible on
heat sinks.
A usual idea to get fusion "pumping the magnet" without
"self-sustaining ignition" per se is simple and obvious.
But so far impracticable for anything smaller than a star.
The old ideas of "chemically-assisted" or "low-energy"
nuclear reactions are still around (CANR/LENR).
Yeah, yeah, I know, "Pons and Fleischmann hoax".
It wasn't a hoax. It was a set of unexplained results, which - as far as
I know - still haven't been explained
Yet, Fritz London is still about the super-coolest physicist.
But he didn't say anything about low-energy nuclear fusion. The only
version I know about it is
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muon-catalyzed_fusion
which is impractical.
It was very exciting news the Pons and Fleischmann, there was great disappointment when others couldn't reproduce the results of the
generated heat, whether that's to due with the palladium or so on.
Then later CANR/LENR address a number of accounts of either making
heat or particularly the creating helium from hydrogen, that of
course was the great claim of Pons and Flesichmann, making helium
from hydrogen, transmuting the elements.
The idea I saw about cheap fusion was making a fusion reaction pulse,
as an electromagnetic pulse, then just letting that pulse on out a
magnet and it results electrical current, which seems a good way to
get electricity from the electromagnetic pulse of a nuclear reaction.
The nuclear energy is much less explored its mechanisms, at least
publicly, vis-a-vis kinetic energy and electrical energy.
The isotope chart is a lot different than the usual periodic chart
of elements: it's a line.
There are lots of materials what make for conditions conducive to
reaction, nuclear reaction, like the lattices and so on.
https://www.nasa.gov/glenn/glenn-expertise-space-exploration/lattice-confinement-fusion/
A usual enough idea is that "cold fusion" is like that, too,
vis-a-vis accounts of sonoluminescence and the like.

Oh, I heard they found elementary helium among the products.
The whole idea of the palladium electrode was that it was

Yeah the idea is you just spark the tokamak then it makes
an electromagnetic pulse and that pumps the magnet, then
for something easy to understand, results electrical current.
Another thing fusion reactors find involved is "Faraday rotation",
which, you know, usual accounts of theory don't have. Before
you say "oh that's always been known to everybody", no, it hasn't.
A century of what resulted QED and QCD has resulted a nice little corner-case.

It's a pretty horrible way of making hard UV, but the nut-cases at Cymer

Thank ASML
ASML bought Cymer to acquire the tin-droplet EUV technology.
It's a pretty horrible way of making hard UV, but the nut-cases at Cymer
had got it to work. There's something to be said for having a culture
that supports of a lot high risk venture capital investment, but when 19
out of twenty go bust, you do have to wonder if there might not be a
better way to nurse developing technologies.
Phil and I made some fundamental discoveries about the tin droplet
optics, and I designed the first-generation droplet detectors, timing electronics, and energy sensors.
The Cymer people were wicked smart but hardly nut cases. They changed
the world.
Cymer already had a thriving DUV lithography laser business, which
they still manufacture in San Diego, as a division of ASML.

Such as?
I know people who are trying to build a gigantic synchrotron with
multiple FEL wigglers.
I think there could be an array of VCSEL lasers driving some nonlinear optical thing that triples the optical frequency. Get below 100 nm
maybe, but cheap.
One high-NA ASML system now costs about half a billion dollars. A
wafer fab costs something like $30 billion.

That's the 2-stage MOPA eximer laser that we did the timing unit for.
The bottom tube is the laser, the master oscillator, and the upper is
the power amplifier. The combination allows high-quality light to be >generated at low power, and then amplified.
It runs at 193 nm, which is apparently the shortest wavelength that
nature allows a gas laser to do.

Ask gogle AI about xla100 lithography
OK, got uit
I did (this was the reply for the others):
Overview of XLA 100 Lithography
XLA 100 is a specific type of ArF (Argon Fluoride) dry lithography light source utilized in semiconductor manufacturing.
It is designed to pattern critical layers on silicon wafers with high precision and reliability.
Key Features
High Precision:
The XLA 100 enables the production of smaller and more complex chip designs by accurately defining features on the wafer.
Reliability:
This light source is known for its consistent performance, which is essential in high-volume manufacturing environments.
Extended Module Lifetimes:
The technology behind the XLA 100 contributes to longer operational lifetimes, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Applications:
XLA 100 is primarily used in the following areas:
Chip Design:
It plays a crucial role in the fabrication of advanced semiconductor devices, allowing for the creation of intricate patterns necessary for modern electronics.
Critical Layer Patterning:
The light source is specifically effective in patterning mid-critical layers, which are essential for the functionality of integrated circuits.
In summary, the XLA 100 is a vital component in the semiconductor manufacturing process, enabling the production of high-performance chips with intricate designs.
Cool to have contributed to something with such a huge impact, nice award, congratulations!
