Studying formation and optimized collaboration of global communities. Applying the Internet to solve global problems and build sustainable communities. Internet policies, standards and best practices.
Every group has systemic issues, that every group faces, so if you are one who works on systemic issues, you can literally work on all topics. For the Internet Foundation, classifying all human activities, I separate “global topics” and “systemic issues”. With 5.4 Billion Internet users, the are often tens of millions of viewpoints on

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1278689162297491 Why is H-alpha so popular? Are there low cost ways to look at fine detail of events and processes on the sun? Multiple frequencies? Energies, densities, temperatures, velocities, concentrations, entropy measures, etc? I am finding more and more groups sharing data about the sun on the Internet, and some of it is accessible in

Many discussions about large language models (LLMs) and whether they can truly “reason” are, honestly, missing the point. Inspired by recent research like Physics of Language Models(https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.20311), which examines reasoning processes by constructing tasks with fewer https://pic.x.com/0ygRGPm3Py Replying to @limoquan in Large language models (LLMs) I saw a note about a group called “Large language

I do not see an obvious shared archive or mention of any long term sky camera and lossless image sharing mentioned. I worked at Georgetown University Center for Population Research and USAID for many years. GU was supposed to be founded by Jesuits, but I never met any. I grew up Catholic so your goals

Your image is beautiful, but I just wasted hours with OpenAI GPT and am not at all happy that their company refuses to give me ways to save my work in shareable form. I was trying to work on solar images to make the analysis and modeling accessible to all 5.4 Billion humans using the

Amber, for the Internet Foundation, I have a project called “all human languages” which aims to standardized and organize the sounds and transcription, storage and use, of all languages used in the world, with emphasis on the languages of the 5.4 Billion humans using the Internet. There is a Korean king who created Hangul, a

But I absolutely hate that you used a lossy format so I cannot study the pixels with deep algorithms I know and design. NONE of the colors will match the original. Because you let the bad jpeg algorithms chew up your raw sensor data and

I have whole sections of my DNA matches that are off by two generations. Everything is crowded into 3rd and 4th cousins and many of them make no sense. I have found that part of that is mistakes in trees that are propagating faster and with less and less review. Ancestry does not give sufficient
