“If commercial fusion energy becomes available by the end of this decade, it could ease all the various possible pathways to [carbon] net-zero by 2050.” The expectation is that any technical difficulties will be overcome and Polaris will produce net electricity, demonstrating the viability of Helion’s commercial product.

But the science of why it matters is, by comparison, relatively simple. Superconductors are already employed in certain limited applications for storing energy. Right now, though, the huge energy required to keep such systems at a low enough temperature that superconducting happens makes their applications limited.

Rather than restoring from a backup the entire operating system, which gets you everything up until the moment of that last backup, then you still have to add in what’s missing.

People are making that comparison very directly. I wouldn’t say that it was a net accelerant by any means. It’s been a taxing time for everyone, so I don’t think it was a net accelerant. I think that there are applications of labels that are effective. But I’m looking at something like Spaces, for example.
