I came across a ZWO ASI715MC recently and bought one to check out. But they are NOT into machine vision or security, since their chosen market is astronomers. Over the years I see Sony doing innovative things, but finding a stable development environment is difficult. Perhaps working directly with Sony would be more productive, fundamental

ElectoBoom: Making a Water Railgun at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy81O7LrB84 1 cubic centimeter of water is 1 gram = 1E-3 Kg. Add 1 Watt Second = 1 Joule of energy. (1/2) * m * v^2 = Joules Velocity_meterspersecond^2 = 2*Joules/Kilograms Velocity_MetersPerSecond = sqrt(2*Joules/Kilograms) sqrt(2*(1 Joule)/1E-3 kilogram) = sqrt(2000 Joules/kg) = 44.7213595 (m/s) = 100.0388320956 Miles per Hour Note:

Tomorrow We Vote: What Do State Representatives Actually Do? – TWV University (Lesson 2) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRqe9cyxIDI It would be a lot of work, but I think it would be a good exercise in government to ask “What do the State Representatives of all States in the United States do? What are they paid to do?

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.
