Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation: Can you tell me details of the suborbital test of Starship? Or are you out of date? Google Bard Gemini: I am up-to-date on Starship information. Starship has actually completed several suborbital test flights, not just one. Here’s a quick rundown: Starship prototypes undergo suborbital flights to test the vehicle’s

Note: In this conversation, I said there was no article on Gyrotrons in Wikipedia. It was that I could not search Wikipedia through Google. There is an article when searching inside Wikipedia English version at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrotron Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation: When people use the # to name things on Twitter, what is that called?

On Twitter(x) there are many odd things. Someone says they can make a mm-wave gyrotron powerful enough to drill a 20 cm diameter hole into the earth at 20 meters per hour for 25.5 days. That would be 20*(25.5*24) = 12.24E3 meters. The total volume is pi*(0.2)^2*12.24E3 = 1538.1237632 meter^3. In the development, they mention

I had a conversation with the Grok program on X. It does not record the user conversation as both OpenAI ChatGPT 4 and Google Bard Gemini are doing. None are storing it in global open format, so none can really allow humans to engage in global open discussions. The conversations can be shared, combined, tokenized

I am interested in your “double exposure”. 200 ns would be 5 Mfps. Can you say which specific cameras from Imperix or elsewhere can support that? I am also interested in LWIR “thermal” camera for passive radiometry. Do you have anyone interested in camera interface standards? There are many cameras, and the cost of storing

Your pages are all too low contrast for me to read. Please give a way to change the weight, contrast and colors of all things. Lines and equations, text and anything. Enlarging is not sufficient when the contrast does not meet ADA. It is not size as much as thickness. You guys can easily find

I broke the plastic connectors on my Raspberry Pi 4. and could barely get the Pi5 connector to work. It is just too small to see and handle. I want to design or find a better cable for all pi can mipi cameras. Those ribbon cables were intended for use inside cell phones and laptops

Diamagnetic magnetic levitation at nanoscale is one way to make chip scale gravimeters. A “gravimeter” is an accelerometer that can track the sun and moon by their gravitational fields precisely. https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.13555 The three axis signal allows “gravitational GPS/GNSS” and “gravitational compass” in 3D. Array for imaging atmospheres, oceans, magma and interiors of things. After
