Deep Prasad (yug-cybera) @Deepneuron I should crack anti-gravity. https://pic.x.com/uuoe4njrnq Replying to @Deepneuron It is not “anti-gravity” it is “a synthetic acceleration field” that you design and apply for real tasks. Not magic, just plain old “gravitational engineering”. No cheating, no magic, no smoke and mirrors and false promises. Just “move it with fields”. And lots

Pádraic Fogarty @whittledaway “We studied 230 fisheries around the world. We found populations of many overfished species are in far worse condition than has been reported, and the sustainability of fisheries was overstated” We need a global treaty to end all industrial fishing https://theconversation.com/investigation-reveals-global-fisheries-are-in-far-worse-shape-than-we-thought-and-many-have-already-collapsed-237306 Replying to @whittledaway If you produce “fish” from other sources that

Make “food” from raw materials anywhere in the solar system

Richard K Collins All Global Open Devices, All knowledge, All Languages, Markets Products Industries Communities, Material and Process Model Calibration August 24, 2024

Flowers, there are whole “food production” technologies that can make edible materials for humans and related species. Taking wood and stems to make alcohol for fuel, there are industrial and sustainable industries to make sugars, starches – pretty much whatever you want. Perhaps what you are struggling with is “Is photosynthesis necessary?” or “Do

Queegle Mutlitask and Freena – Does anyone care?

Richard K Collins All Global Open Devices, All knowledge, All Languages, Gravitational Engineering, Queegle MultiTask August 24, 2024

Now Queegle Multitask had a girl-friend Freena, and Freena reminded him constantly of his promise to take her to the Moon for a week in orbit there. The rates were cheap now, because after the initial glamour of “orbit the moon”, everyone realized that the synth was better, cheaper and much more convenient. Synthetic experiences

Patrick Piantadosi @ptpiantadosi any calcium imaging folks have a good pipeline for correcting (or otherwise dealing with) rather severe motion in 1p miniscope recordings? https://pic.x.com/dr3cmdmywy Replying to @ptpiantadosi Many groups use registration, stacking, “lucky images” and “flow”. It is growing fast, and nearly impossible to follow completely. I label it as a “solved problem where
