The Download: a nuclear landmark, and China eyes Nvidia chips

The article highlights several technological developments across various fields. It begins with a report on U.S. nuclear power progress, noting that four microreactors achieved criticality by July 4, marking a significant step toward emissions-free energy. However, achieving criticality does not equate to immediate grid readiness. The piece then lists multiple other tech-related stories, including China allowing top AI firms to purchase Nvidia H200 chips, NATO developing an AI-driven defense system against Russian attacks, research into solar dimming to combat El Niño, Meta's AI device for emotion tracking, advancements in chip manufacturing, concerns over AI cheating in academia, a study linking parental phone addiction to child attachment issues, Elon Musk's legal settlement with the SEC regarding Twitter, and the development of small satellites for detecting nuclear weapons in space.
