I am not convinced a single lamp placed over the dining table would provide sufficient irradiance to inactivate viruses and other pathogens in the large room. Consider having an infected individual sneeze or cough at the table. The expiration jet would spread so rapidly. This lamp is like a tiny flashlight placed above the dining table. Furthermore, far UV gets absorbed by oxygen in the air. The net irradiance of far uv is worse than 254 nm at a fixed distance from two equivalent (in power and form) sources.
The lamp would be effective if you were able to quickly circulate the air in the room past the lamp.
It is wild that the founders have very little experience in the space, and that their claims are based on sparse research. That said, the Substack article doesn't seem any more credible. Other than the name DC Fusion LLC, I missed any indications that the founder was working on a fusion startup. The article correctly identifies as an opinion piece but doesn't seem worthy of credible referencing.
Someone help me understand why the Ray-Ban branding? Meta should be able to make the frames themselves. Ray-Ban doesn't seem to be a strong enough brand that Meta couldn't go it solo and build a glasses brand themselves.
writeroom-mode looks great! I typically have my Emacs frame split into 5 windows (thanks to revive.el). Instead of spawning a new frame (C-x 5 2) to write a blog post or work on the book, I'll try writeroom-mode.
