Global open sharing for global early warning

Subject: Bringing all the climate and earth data into a global living model of the earth, oceans, atmosphere and fields Jennifer, After searching for these authors, I found their profile pages, some of their papers, and this article from July 2023 on ResearchGate, “Prospects for meteotsunami detection in earth’s atmosphere using GNSS observations” at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/372308871

Gravitation potential and ether wind

FractalWoman: Michelson Morley Experiment : A Shocking Revelation at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VNkLk_vZ8k You are kind of all over the place, but perhaps this will give you an idea. About 20 years ago, I used the network of superconducting gravimeters to measure the speed of gravity. It turns out that the speed is the same as the speed of

The MaunaKea Observatory group of 12 nonprofit observatories cannot seem to operate a single live lossless video feed of one part of the sky

I am looking at the live internet video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76rwjwc07DI labeled “Meteor Shower and Starry skies 24/7 LIVE from the Subaru Telescope on MaunaKea, Hawaii”, I tried to figure out the camera location, direction and parameter, fundamental for any one of the roughly 5 Billion internet users to understand what they are seeing and when

Elon Musk giving back the night sky to all humans, especially those in large cities – lossless too, for study

I heard that Elon Musk was going to put high resolution lossless format cameras on all his satellites — pointing at all part of the heavens, to give all humans a live stream of their part of the night sky. Thanks, Elon, for giving back the night sky. Two billion kids say thanks. @X,  Could

Richard talks with Google Bard about NVidia, “open AI” and the future of the human and AI species

Just chatting about things I am curious about. The AIs now are all intended to harvest human knowledge and make that company’s AI look smarter and more attractive to sales, contracts, subscriptions, consulting. Richard Collins: I keep seeing references to “NeMo Megatron”. I know that “Megatron” is probably an oblique reference to a character in

Accelerator Neutrino experiments, The nature of the gravitational potential fields, breaking up global monopolies

The LHC experiment to detect flavors of high energy neutrinos showed that they can detect neutrinos from the accelerator. But they did not optimize the generation for specfic types of neutrinos, just “bang bang, try to produce something”.  It worked, but you do not need those high energies to make “earth penetrating” neutrino beams.  They

Using Gravimeter Arrays is not hard – Stack Exchange

https://earthscience.stackexchange.com/questions/9192/prompt-gravity-signal-induced-by-the-2011-tohoku-oki-earthquake-could-this-rea The Tohoku earthquake registered on both the superconducting gravimeter (SG) and broadband seismic networks. The SGs are accelerometers with roughly 0.1 nanometer/second^2 sensitivity at 1 sample per second. The broadband seismometers are about 10 times less sensitive, but usually store at 40 sps or 100 sps. And the broadband seismometers are three axis, so

Add machine vision to Internet videos, control lighting and gather statistics on video and audio streams

東京農業大学奥多摩演習林 × Forest Notes 360° VR Live at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik51hMMZNE4 ​You might want to make an app or extension that lets you control lighting and contrast. Dark forest or night — change the display intensity and use false colors to see and analyze better. ​Just read the frames with Javascript content script, change each pixel, display

YouTube lossy formats – Audacity Spectrograms Mahler Symphony, Dojo Cat

https://vloggergear.com/youtube-video-formats/ Thanks for gathering and sharing this. I am looking for lossless open video formats for scientific sharing, and where AI machine vision is important. Recommending permanent lossless archives for some feeds where it forms the basis of global open collaborations. Experiments, weather, sky, wildlife, crops, storms, stars and things in the sky like satellites,
