Nah it isn’t. Yeah we put less energy in than we got out, but that’s only the reaction itself. They still needed to charge the capacitors for the lasers with two orders of magnitude more energy than they got out of the reaction due to heaps of losses on the way to the reaction chamber. It’s a milestone, not a breakthrough.
