Also called the Lawson Criteria, fusion triple product defines the threshold that must be exceeded for a plasma to produce more fusion power than the heating power injected. It marks the point where the energy balance across the plasma becomes positive, and the fusion reaction can sustain itself without (or with greatly reduced) external heating. The triple product is derived from three factors—ion temperature (T), density (n) and energy confinement time (τ). In any future fusion power plant, a

Extending That XOR Trick to Billions of Rows

Can we extend the XOR trick for finding one or two missing numbers in a list to finding thousands of missing IDs in a billion-row table? Yes, we can! This is possible using a data structure called an Invertible Bloom Filter (IBF) that compares two sets with space complexity based only on the size of the difference. Using a generalization of the XOR trick [1], all the values that are identical cancel out, so the size of this data structure depends only on the size of the difference. Most explan
