On Twitter(x) there are many odd things. Someone says they can make a mm-wave gyrotron powerful enough to drill a 20 cm diameter hole into the earth at 20 meters per hour for 25.5 days. That would be 20*(25.5*24) = 12.24E3 meters. The total volume is pi*(0.2)^2*12.24E3 = 1538.1237632 meter^3. In the development, they mention

I had a conversation with the Grok program on X. It does not record the user conversation as both OpenAI ChatGPT 4 and Google Bard Gemini are doing. None are storing it in global open format, so none can really allow humans to engage in global open discussions. The conversations can be shared, combined, tokenized

I am interested in your “double exposure”. 200 ns would be 5 Mfps. Can you say which specific cameras from Imperix or elsewhere can support that? I am also interested in LWIR “thermal” camera for passive radiometry. Do you have anyone interested in camera interface standards? There are many cameras, and the cost of storing
