Plasma Channel: Designing A Next-Gen Ionic Thruster! (For Flight) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrEBoPYS4ns The stagnation pressure is (1/2) * AirDensity*Velocity^2. And the power goes as the cube of the velocity. So using velocity increments is not exactly the best measure. At least get yourself a spreadsheet or HTML/Javascript and have it keep track of the velocity, squared velocity,

http://libarchstor2.uah.edu/digitalcollections/contact/ I was looking for papers by Robert Lull Forward (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_L._Forward) There is a link to “Robert L. Forward Collection, The University of Alabama in Huntsville Archives and Special Collections” but the link is broken. Do you know if anyone has tried to organize all his papers? There are a lot at “Since 1987, Robert

The people who wrote the wrapper for GPT 4.0 must have very unique personalities. But there seem to be different voices. Since NONE of what GPT says is traceable, we will never know, and cannot trust anything that OpenAI does or says. Duplication in the internet and in human global society is horrific. It hurts

Physics @Berkekey: Oct 13 Colloquium: Konrad Lehnert at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbqTWe1qBbY Konrad Lehnert, Three axis MEMs gravimeters can be made sensitive enough to measure precisely the vector tidal sun moon signal that is the main part (about 98.5%) of the signal at a superconducting gravimeters station. Using the JPL ephemeris this is just the sun’s acceleration at the

If you decide to read Dana’s Story you can find it at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09RN1C2W6 As I say, it is a hard read. I did not print books 2 and 3 where Brian, the first sentient AI, is involved. I have copies online and I recorded all three books in my own voice, but those are just in

Google Research: Introducing PaLM 2, Google’s next generation large language model | Research Bytes at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAANQypgOo8 I was head to head testing OpenAI and Bard. Bard is not even close. It simply refused to try. If you open Google research and operations, transparency might let the world see what you are doing, help you with plans,
