There might be some hesitance installing an M5. You should stay out of the way if the machine learning core needs more power.
I guess by the time they get to M5, anyone old enough to get the reference will have retired.
I have 3 iOS devices, but I won’t pay a grand for a phone. I would rather replace my base level devices in 4 or 5 years when they start to age out.
“Ignition” isn’t about generating electricity. It’s about making fusion bombs which don’t emit neutrons or other radiation (from a fission trigger) while the device is in storage.
So, not primarily a power generation design like a tokamak would be.
It’s a startling visualization.
Orange man rushed out a shot. It must be bad.
Gray man said get the shot. It’s good.
I’m not saying that kind of “thinking” is valid, but it’s apparently widely accepted.
(I got the shot, but I can see why some people would have considerations)
The bigger issue, for me, is that I'm not sure how they can rule out the possibility that there were lots of other people around at that time whose lineages gradually died out. Modern genetic lineages may trace back to 1280 people (+/- the margin of error), but it seems pretty dubious to assume that those were the only people living at that time. It seems highly likely to me that there were infertile people, people who died young, people whose only living children were infertile or died young, etc.
(I did not read the original paper, so maybe they accounted for this, or maybe they that specify that this was a genetic bottle neck for modern humans, but not necessarily the actual size of the population.)

(it's not like chimps don't catch and eat other primates)
