The usual lossy images from NASA

World and Science @WorldAndScience Astonishing: The James Webb Space Telescope captures the rare moment just before a star’s death in pin-sharp detail. (Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Webb ERO Production Team) https://pic.twitter.com/ofXtCVflZj Replying to @WorldAndScience The usual from “NASA” – lossy images, no meta data, no provenance, no links, very little scientific or educational value.

3 Billion humans not on the Internet might be a good thing

Interesting Engineering @IntEngineering Approximately 3 billion people globally lack internet access, a gap companies like Starlink and Astranis aim to fill. Starlink uses numerous Low Earth Orbit satellites to provide internet, but it’s expensive and faces connectivity issues due to the rapid movement of satellites. https://pic.twitter.com/nj5nXlNJQg Replying to @IntEngineering Thank you for sharing this.

Solar eclipse oscillations dataset for open sharing and updates, active surfaces slide or pull through air

Stephen Wolfram @stephen_wolfram Preparing for 2024 … analyzing video I took at the 2017 eclipse. Here’s the light curve I got. The dip is totality. Anyone know what the glitches up and down are? iPad exposure control? (They’re too slow for shadow bands) https://pic.twitter.com/E9RhIEgMv5 Replying to @stephen_wolfram Stephen, have your favorite AI search ( “solar

Gravity can be linear, but also nonlinear with flows and fluctuations

Science News @ScienceNews Jonathan Oppenheim thinks that gravity might be fundamentally classical, meaning it isn’t quantum at all. https://sciencenews.org/article/gravity-quantum-mechanics-physics-theory Replying to @ScienceNews Yes. 20 years ago I used the small network of superconducting gravimeters to measure the speed of gravity. At low sampling rates, the field is nearly perfectly Newtonian. At micro nano pico femto

Lightfield emitters for compiled patterns for specific purposes. Also AIs need to be trained as humans and certified

Ben, I can probably interest some groups in creating cost effective light field projectors.  I got three projectors today but have not had time to use them and research them. I bought Lytro cameras back in the day and follow those technologies and purposes. If AIs “go to college” that will expose the weaknesses in

Content based servers and user controlled viewers and user tools

Juxtapposed: I Redesigned the ENTIRE Steam UI from Scratch at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDY2p1CTkPo Nice work, but just one site and one topic. If all games on the Internet were handled by one game viewer (with all the things you listed and more), then the game suppliers and sales outlets would serve content for the “game viewer” and
