After Building the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility, He Spent 16 Years Pioneering a New Generation of Nuclear Energy

Source: Wen Wei Po, April 11, 2025

Reported by Xu Qimin

The world’s only operational fourth-generation nuclear system—a 2 MW thermal power thorium-based molten salt experimental reactor (TMSR)—is now running with thorium fuel in Wuwei, Gansu Province.

Can anyone think of a tvOS app that launches another tvOS app? (Or settings?) The back button walks bath thru launched apps, so if my app launches YouTube, then hit BACK and it goes to my app instead of Home Screen. (Annoying.) Looking for other examples but none come to mind. (An app that launches Settings? Store?)

@atpfm Apple TV tvOS 18.4 has bought back "Time Per Slide" !

Screen Saver / Memories & Slideshows / Style / Classic / Time Per Slide

For any families who used photo screensaver in social settings, this gives enough time to discuss a photo before it disappears.

5s /photo was more of a solitary viewing experience speed.

(Now if only Ken Burns had some adjustable settings other than time-per-slide. This also applies to Ken Burns despite being located under Classic.)

@gruber In Dithering you say that magnets affect modems (like Apple C1 or Qualcomm) and that it is a very hard problem.

Wut? You gotta write or talk about that. That is completely non-intuitive. What else do batteries affect? The only one I'd have guessed is the compass.

I mean... I'll be Googling it, etc. But you knew that fact for HOW LONG!?!

@atpfm Please critique Apple TV photo montage screen saver.

18.2 still hasn't addressed loss of control of photo cycling... time /photo. It USED to be controllable and Apple REMOVED the setting.

I've spammed Apple about this. Maybe ATP is my last avenue of complaint. (Am I crazy? How is this not table-steaks? Am I overlooking the setting?)

Ideally:
- Duration /photo.
- Strength of Ken Burns 0-100%. (100% being current strength.)

I could program this myself! Super-simple stuff.

@AlisonCreekside I'm trying to advance some GPC policy proposals to end our blanket-ban on nuclear.

Would this be of interest to you?

(Currently nuclear is THE lowest-carbon source of energy. Zero during production and entire-lifecycle is the very lowest.)

I don't like the expanding red lines.

Red is coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

Not like Blue. Blue is soft and smooth.

@atpfm I'd be curious as to why ATP thinks Apple storage tops out at 8TB.

Bought MBP M1 64GB 8TB (for video editing).

Today possible to buy M4 with 128GB RAM but still "only" 8TB storage.

I'd think RAM is hard, but SSD is easy? Seems like an easy $ for Apple?

All the non-laptop configs face same constraint, but easy to dangle storage from back.

But with a laptop? Even SLOWER storage would be fine, if it could be vaguely "internal" and not cable-bump duct-tape risky.

“That movie [Blade Runner 2049] sucked,” Musk posted, responding to news of the lawsuit.

Alcon expressly denied permission to use any images from the film.

“Musk personally became aware of Alcon’s permission denials and express objections” the lawsuit alleges. “He thus personally knew and understood that to incorporate ‘BR2049’ into the event presentation at all would be improper and an unauthorized misappropriation of ‘BR2049’ goodwill.”

"Princess Leia iPhone Case" ...and I had to look up how to spell "Leia", just in case you don't appreciate how challenging these last 5 minutes have been.

@overcastfm I'm swiping left-and-right on ATP "608:Boot to Toot". I thought there used to be a circle-i icon on one of these pages?

I back out, and see the circle-i in the list of episodes... IF i expand the drop-down.

Think I need that circle-i when drilled down into the episode too? Or I'll be asking you this again a year from now when I forget.

Any fans of Three Body Problem willing to double-check a fan-edit MP4 ?

https://disembiggened.com/#download

I've shrunk the 22.5h Chinese TV show down to 6h, in 3x 2h parts.

1of3 is now available in English, and I've been relying on ChatGPT to make the default English Audio, but there's also Chinese Audio track. Do NOT want both to playback together.

If anyone sees the current streaming configuration as flawed, gimme heads-up? As NOW is the time for me to learn!

RFK Jr. Was My Drug Dealer, by Kurt Andersen.

Back in my dorm room 10 minutes later, I got a phone call.

“Hello?”
“It’s Bobby.”
“Hi.”
“You took my straw! There are crystals inside it, man, growing. You took it.”
“So … you want the straw back?”
“Yeah, man.”

Hoping they can provide analysis like this on just about every question asked (dozens were asked) but also broken down by gender.
