Comment on Small and Large Gaps Between the Primes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp06oGD4m00 All this wonderful insight and technique, and most is lost because he does not store anything in the computer in a form that can be readily verified and improved upon. Yes, you can use symbolic math tools, rather than chalk. Human memory has carried us so far, but more people will benefit from communicating

Note about why I built Sculptor.Org

J, I talked to my sister, T, yesterday. She is one who has painted all her life. Maybe she will have time and space to do it again. For ten years, about 20 hours a week, back from about 1993 to 2003, I ran a website for sculptors. At the end it had 50,000 unique

Note to a dark sky site about renting cameras with telescopes and all sky needs of the world

I picked this because your example was “start at $600 per year”. But I have no idea what this does. Throwing a bunch of jargon at me means nothing. That picture of the equipment looks like a jumble of wires and objects. Can you see all parts of the sky? Does it run continuously? How

Comment on Pictor Open Source Radio Telescope – Recommendations

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70plmWJDt2k Open Source: https://github.com/0xCoto/PICTOR Website: https://www.pictortelescope.com/ Please leave the settings and all form fields. Don’t clear them. Just leave them the same as the last observation.  I am having to re-enter them ever time I make a request.  I am making series of requests.  Many people might.  Tell them how many files they will receive, how many

All sky cameras online should use lossless format and share with cities and schools and groups

https://www.facebook.com/groups/172438633343696 I tracked down your allsky camera images. When will people realize that jpg is a lossy format and that the pixels are not true representations of the intensities and colors of small regions. I call it “eye candy”, only suitable for eyeballs, or the truly desperate who have nothing else. Please ask him to

NANOGrav raw observing data – merging all global sensor networks on the Internet

Hello, I was visiting https://data.nanograv.org/ to see what kind of data you are sharing online.  I am tracking most all the sensor networks on the Internet, especially the emerging ones. If I understand this talk by Steve Taylor at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UptA7pkARo you are only observing at widely separated times for about 30 minutes? He talks about

Is anyone doing continuous quantum measurements? Are you picking up gravity, seismic, magnetic, ELF and other noise?

As the quantum detectors get more sensitivity they should be picking up fluctuations in the local gravitational potential and electromagnetic background fields of the earth. But I have not seen anyone running a detector continuously for the days or weeks or months needed to do the required correlations to trace things out. Nor, do I

Explaining to MathWorks about Infinite Levels of Knowledge and Hover

Jordan, Image Acquisition Toolbox: Your online, and now the attached price list, is not appropriate for “Home” users. Today someone fixed the website issue where the license information was not accessible.  I could not open my account information. Now, when I look at my account information, “Manage Products”, it has  “But Add-Ons” as a working

Comment to Allsky Camera Facebook group about context and daytime uses of cameras

https://www.facebook.com/groups/172438633343696/permalink/877591389495080/ I am looking at daytime uses of all sky cameras. Satellite images are a bit too bulky and not enough resolution for correlations. Need multiple cameras to recover 3D of clouds. I have seen groups aiming at comets, planes, clouds, rain, sky color, daytime astronomy (is possible), sun and moon tracking, shadows, reflections, multispectral,
