S3: The future of Nuclear = Small, Mobile, Microreactors, Radiant at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTgS7tOOzsE This reminds me of Elon Musk – low tech (graphite, heat, coolants, everyday materials) rather than fields and high energy density. At least the people are able to do those things now. Remote chemical processes can be economic with mostly heat, not electricity.

I am not sure who is working on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmhSWP9M_zI but with higher temperatures, the image is often saturated, showing little detail. If you were to put a computer between the camera and streaming, it can monitor the range of pixel values, and remap the colors to be more informative. That can be done using browser Javascript,

Jaber Hassoun @Jaber_Hassoun “Hey computer, go discover all of physics”~@sama no such thing as “all of physics”: any science (or domain of knowledge for that matter) is created by conjecture & refutation all observation is theory laden, knowledge is created fallibly & thus grows forever x.com/GaryMarcus/sta… I have considered problems of this scale most every

Happy Researchers @hapyresearchers Unpopular opinion: Every year number of PhD admissions are increasing. But, the funny thing is academic positions to absorb these PhDs are comparatively reducing or kept vacant or given to someone who is close to 70 yrs. Replying to @hapyresearchers You need to create entirely new fields, then no glass/class ceilings. It

Happy Researchers @hapyresearchers https://pic.x.com/ixid8eeqwu Replying to @hapyresearchers 98.5% of all PhD and research work now can be farmed out to machine algorithms. And you do not even have to know how the machine does it. Knowing how to get computer programs to give useful answers is a skill as good as asking the right

Dulwich Quantum Computing @DulwichQuantum Projections by @TobiasOsborne for the number of noisy qubits on different platforms. @PsiQuantum, does this check out? https://youtube.com/watch?v=Go7iPIt2_w0&t=939s https://pic.x.com/htctpqein9 Replying to @DulwichQuantum @tobiasosborne and @PsiQuantum Please, all groups using noisy qubits: record your noise as precisely as possible. It ultimately links to gravitational and vacuum noise. Plus human and geophysical data.

Beltran Lab @BeltranJBio One year as Assistant Professor! Grateful to the people in our lab for their valuable efforts, my colleagues for their support, and the 40 students who appreciated my teaching. Science is fun and love my job! https://pic.x.com/n7uagvhw4m Replying to @BeltranJBio If you have something to share – for the same effort, you can

@audubonsociety I do not have opportunity to observe young birds in nests. But I would expect there is some element of learning from parents. I was thinking about parents doing small things like nest maintenance, that the children could observe routinely. I was asking Bing Copilot about this. But its human programmers preclude it

I simply keep track of all states, and then collect the many models, datasets, and estimates of measurements or properties or guesses. When I say “lossless”, I generally mean “simply absorb it all”, verify, try to link to all related things, and “let the computer do most of the work, but never let it run

Jen Murray Star Trek VI at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzUfCkbHN5g In 1966 we were a few years from landing on the moon. Then half a century of fiction. It would have been much easier to just explore space than watch space operas. With low cost AIs, and 50 years of advances in all fields, it is now cheaper to
