https://x.com/RichardKCollin2/status/1848782359967002993 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs8iGuyocCs Sharing Lossless images and videos on the Internet Very expensive hobby, lots of specialized equipment, remote location, communication services, software and time. And no shared raw data or videos. I have always hated ‘astronomers’ who say “look what I can do and you cannot afford”. When I was little I had people who

The X Grok2 is another shallow toy, not even vaguely resembling a real tool that will last forever

Richard K Collins All Global Open Devices, All knowledge, All Languages, Solar System Colonization October 20, 2024

The X Grok2 is another shallow toy, not even vaguely resembling a real tool that will last forever @ElonMusk, I hope your X Grok people read this. But I expect not. In my vision of the future, every AI has effectively infinite memory, so that all things said or seen, done or heard or stored

Richard K Collins All Global Open Devices, All knowledge, All Languages, Collaborative Model and Data, Global Open Resources October 19, 2024

The state of “chemistry” on the Internet is atrocious compared to what is possible. The ACS 3D model at https://www.acs.org/education/resources/undergraduate/chemistryincontext/interactives/nutrition/3d-model-beta-fructose.html seems to be broken today. If ACS posts it, ACS corporate is responsible. @AmerChemSociety   You have a lot of things on your website. ( site:acs.org) shows 21.7 Million entries on GoogleSearch. Having reviewed most

Today I was reviewing the #deserts of the world and their human populations. Significant portions of the worlds surface, including much that is frozen, could be greened and improved.
