Richard and OpenAI ChatGPT refine ideas related to sharing and using all data, forever Richard Collins: I am looking at some of the Rubin Observatory postings and sites on the Internet. It is ONE project but many fragmented sites, styles, purposes, methods and policies. What are the exact pixel dimensions of the test camera (“commissioning

I was looking at the AIA 171 videos at Solar Dynamics Observatory. I took on of the images into paint and checked the RBG and HSL values. I was surprised that the hue did not change. It almost seems as they used a fixed hue and changed the saturation and intensity. What are the equations

@LWV In 1993 the League of Women Voters published a book “Nuclear Waste Primer – A Handbook for Citizens”. Now many women are deeply engaged in scientific, technology, engineering, mathematics, computing, finance, government, running organizations, and global topics and systemic issues. I grew up with WWII just a few years in the past, through cold

There are many such stable materials with active containment. Asking for new fuels and materials to act like old ones is limiting the search for useful things. It just has to be reliable, practical, and useful. It does

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1412120169086103/ My Comment: Effectively eternal species colonizing galaxies Once an evolved species can make AIs to store knowledge and act, those entities are effectively eternal and can “live” long enough to colonize galactic and larger regions. So, most galaxies might each have their own civilizations held together by systems, but populated by natural species as

I do not see any open shared data. A static website, a team of two. You are hiring people, looking for students to fill your classes. Promoting your papers. Nothing deep or serious shared about what you are doing, how it is pursued in the world, how it changes anything real. Being outstanding at the

I am looking at Solar Dynamics Observatory images. During the year does the earth (and earth based telescopes) move above and below the ecliptic? Does the sub earth point of the visible center of the sun change in solar latitude during the year? ChatGPT said: ChatGPT Yes, the Earth does move slightly above and below

I work on gravitational wave detection and imaging for fun. I studied physics and astrophysics at several universities, but then worked in international development and computer systems for organizations to make a living. I studied statistical mechanics and thermodynamics at UT Austin in the 1970s when Ilya Prigogine and Bryce DeWitt and Madame DeWitt were
