Just chatting about things I am curious about. The AIs now are all intended to harvest human knowledge and make that company’s AI look smarter and more attractive to sales, contracts, subscriptions, consulting. Richard Collins: I keep seeing references to “NeMo Megatron”. I know that “Megatron” is probably an oblique reference to a character in

The LHC experiment to detect flavors of high energy neutrinos showed that they can detect neutrinos from the accelerator. But they did not optimize the generation for specfic types of neutrinos, just “bang bang, try to produce something”. It worked, but you do not need those high energies to make “earth penetrating” neutrino beams. They

https://earthscience.stackexchange.com/questions/9192/prompt-gravity-signal-induced-by-the-2011-tohoku-oki-earthquake-could-this-rea The Tohoku earthquake registered on both the superconducting gravimeter (SG) and broadband seismic networks. The SGs are accelerometers with roughly 0.1 nanometer/second^2 sensitivity at 1 sample per second. The broadband seismometers are about 10 times less sensitive, but usually store at 40 sps or 100 sps. And the broadband seismometers are three axis, so

東京農業大学奥多摩演習林 × Forest Notes 360° VR Live at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik51hMMZNE4 You might want to make an app or extension that lets you control lighting and contrast. Dark forest or night — change the display intensity and use false colors to see and analyze better. Just read the frames with Javascript content script, change each pixel, display

https://vloggergear.com/youtube-video-formats/ Thanks for gathering and sharing this. I am looking for lossless open video formats for scientific sharing, and where AI machine vision is important. Recommending permanent lossless archives for some feeds where it forms the basis of global open collaborations. Experiments, weather, sky, wildlife, crops, storms, stars and things in the sky like satellites,

Dear Amber, Yes, I am very familiar with the things you wrote down. The language models currently do not index the raw data, the input data. They add no value to it that way. With no index and not able to trace what they generate to the source data, they literally are incapable of tracing

I am talking with OpenAI ChatGPT Plus 4.0 about the relation between Humans and AIs, as AIs begin to emerge as a separate species. Partners, collaborators, helpmates, advisors, caregivers, mentors, guides, workers. Billions of unique new individuals – usually with human individuals and groups connected. Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation Richard Collins: I am trying

Twitter: I averaged a 50×50 pixel area from a live video of the ocean for several minutes. Not completely uniform but showing bands of light and color. Our AIs might use these kinds of background averages, then focus on exceptions. All videos should use lossless compression and archives. Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation Lawai Beach

Anton Petrov: Unexplained Earthquake Light Phenomenon Finally Captured on Camera at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05NmTEeXvhs Anton, This argues for keeping permanent all-sky (fish eye and other name) cameras to monitor the sky above regions where there are earthquakes, like where the earth is pulling apart. Beside piezoelectric, there are also piezomagnetic materials which will change the electromagnetic fields. The

Richard talks to OpenAI ChatGPT Plus about KeV and MeV magnetic bonds between neutrons protons and electrons. Neutron magnetic pairs, proton antiproton magnetic pairs, electron pairs. Atomic fuels, extended nuclear materials. Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation Richard: I am thinking about magnetic bonds between neutrons and want to talk with you about that. The neutron
