Updating a link on Hackaday.io for Low Cost, Time of flight, gravitational imaging arrays

Richard K Collins Electrokinetic Electrodynamic Field Methods, Gravitational Engineering January 12, 2024

​https://hackaday.io/project/164550-low-cost-time-of-flight-gravimeter-arrays/log/208711-more-information-posted-at-researchgate-on-3-axis-gravimeters/discussion-195371 https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Richard-Collins-16 ResearchGate canceled their project support last year and I managed to save some things before they erased everything. I had/have a few dozen followers and collaborators.  I have been working on many things and still many different designs and things related to gravitational imaging.  But I am not making devices, only checking components. Do you

Look more closely at papers by Samina Masood

Richard K Collins Atomic Fuels, Electrokinetic Electrodynamic Field Methods January 9, 2024

I have not had time to check all these papers by Samina Masood, but find them interesting enough to suggest others take a closer look. These are some of the right places and pathways to find the atto-scopic roots of real gravitational signal sources across all frequencies, wavelengths, and energy densities. https://www.uhcl.edu/science-engineering/faculty/masood-samina   https://arxiv.org/search/hep-ph?searchtype=author&query=Masood,+Samina

Sites that tell you “We will set any cookies we want and do with them what we want”

Richard K Collins Internet Best Practices, Internet efficiency January 7, 2024

Sites that tell you “We will set any cookies we want and do with them what we want. You agree!, don’t you, or this annoying banner won’t go away.” I was visiting https://blog.endaq.com/transfer-function-correction-strategies-for-reducing-measurement-system-distortions because you sent me an email about this blog. When you challenge people with a cookie banner, you must also give Internet

AIs solving shallow problems is NOT the most critical issue.

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies January 6, 2024

lmsys.org @lmsysorg Introducing VTC: the first fair scheduler for LLM serving. Are you troubled by OpenAI’s rate limit? Although it’s a necessary mechanism to prevent any single client from monopolizing the request queue, we demonstrate that it doesn’t guarantee either fairness among clients or… https://pic.twitter.com/Bs42RloLHS Replying to @lmsysorg I would much rather have a price

Gravity GPS/GNSS and gravity compass using sun and moon tidal gravity signal

Richard K Collins Sun Moon Vector Tidal Signal January 5, 2024

Nils Berglund: A simplistic model for tides – instantaneous forcing at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH7tvGb42s4 The easiest model that works precisely is to use the positions of the sun, moon, and earth from JPL Horizon. Then for a particular point on earth (station) calculate the vector GM/r^2 acceleration of the sun acting on the station, minus the sun

Self awareness is NOT hard.

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies January 4, 2024

Transcendence movie at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyRzAG4hqFg Self awareness only requires permanent memory related to skills, abilities, resources and memories labeled with a unique identifier. The hardware list, the data, the online services, the accounts, any sensor and accessible things. “I am what I can remember, and what I have access to.” The AIs now simply are missing

Cobol and older languages and data – translated to global open formats.

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies January 4, 2024

Evan Kirstel #B2B #TechFluencer @EvanKirstel The World Depends on 60-Year-Old Code No One Knows Anymore | PCMag https://pcmag.com/articles/ibms-plan-to-update-cobol-with-watson Replying to @EvanKirstelMy brother, Clif, translates Cobol to modern languages. He will say, “Just leave the legacy systems running.”, “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. Then, in parallel take critical systems and use a universal translator
