Jorge, To become a global open resource for any topic or any resource is not hard, it takes dedication, patience, and years. Also good database, organization and open communication skills. (“70s vinyl” OR “70s vinyls”) has 143,000 entry points today. I recognize it but have not made effort to gather and organize it.

Jorge Jimenez, I have already written several books, but it is a burden to try to share blobs that big with anyone. So I write reviews, comments, suggestions, recommendations, analyses, studies, policies across the whole Internet. Hundreds a year. You want to get into publishing, or to promote and be part of something. Look in

1963 and 1964 were important years for me. I was taking my first chemistry class from a rocket scientist in high school, learning all mathematics and science as fast as I could. My Dad was working at Cape Canaveral and meeting people like Wernher von Braun. We could see and hear and feel the rocket

We do not need 8.1 Billion ways of writing down the sounds we make and encoding those in symbols. Sounds for words, symbols for sounds, a chaos of spellings and fonts. LLM groups choosing arbitrary local tokenizations and not using a finite set of global open tokens – with the cooperation, involvement, agreement and benefit

Handling ALL human and natural sounds is NOT impossible. I apologize. I turned 75 this year and I have been working every day for the last 26 years on the Internet Foundation. Just when I see how it all works and can be improved substantially, I am getting too tired to change anything. So

Debra, I have not received the DNA invitation yet. I looked at the tree. My immediate reactions are (1) Mexico, not a lot of DNA matches, (2) not a lot of trees filled in deep enough (3) lots of people not knowing their families (4) requires extensive international account research. (5) many people with no

Audacity recordings of Google Translate voice of “girl boy tree sand sky house bird grass water wind” clipped to Paint to twitter(X). (@elonmusk) One small set of tokens for ALL phonemes and

I was simply checking to see how accessible and clear the data and methods, the sources and provenance of the information. If things are broken, or if they are difficult, to impossible, to access. I was checking to see if the pages were accessible to 350 Million blind or restricted vision, 450 Million deaf, millions

Physical Review Letters @PhysRevLett An exact full set of matrix product states of highly degenerate tricritical Lifshitz points in the quantum spin model with anisotropic interactions has been discovered https://go.aps.org/3Q3Pxna https://pic.twitter.com/w22Em2B3EZ Replying to @PhysRevLett It only looks simple because you use simple potentials with no real world inputs. In the real world, every tiny cubic
