World Bank, UN, USA, .cn and the world can combine their information to map (Myanmar OR Burma) deeply @WorldBank I am looking at your Country Partnership Framework for countries which leads to pages like   https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/110961589818564510/pdf/Myanmar-Country-Partnership-Framework-for-the-Period-of-FY20-FY23.pdf   On those pages the “Official PDF” download link is still coded as HTTP (not secure) and Chrome browser

KeV and MeV bond reactions with practical applications – atomic fuels, and extended nuclear materials

Ideal Weapon: Can Hafnium Bombs Replace Nuclear Bombs? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHPzQrJ8D7M Suggest you use NuDat3 at BNL to see all the isotopes that can be used. You also need all the magnetic moments, which I think they will be adding. Most of the radioactive isotopes can be used for their reactions. Not just stable ones if

“Artificial Intelligence” needs to change to “Intelligent Algorithms” for the human species

@CaseEngineer @CWRUalumni @cwru   I was reading the History Computer Engineering and Science Programs at https://engineering.case.edu/computer-and-data-sciences/history-computer-science   It is a bit incomplete. I think because it does not consider all the departments. Case Institute of Technology was my first university. My scholarship was based on chemistry, but within a few days of arriving in 1967

“As perfect as possible AIs” are needed, not cheap sales gimmicks

Monica Lewinsky (she/her) @MonicaLewinsky  Doctors use problematic race-based algorithms every day. Why are they so hard to change? – STAT https://apple.news/AbFJCF8d6TPOLH2lF7TGvZQ Replying to @MonicaLewinsky It is a good thing to aim for “attentive, caring, individual, personalized”. It is not the use of methods or writing things down to help guide one self and others. It

Most Internet terms have deep histories, many groups and people, in every human language

Patrick Mineault @patrickmineault  My weekend project http://ismy.blue is at the top of hackernews and nerds are now arguing about psychophysics and the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. What a time to be alive! https://pic.x.com/v3ksycog7d Replying to @patrickmineault I started following psychophysics, psychophysiology and psychometrics in that sharp rise during the 1960s. There are a LOT more.   https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=psychophysics%2Cpsychophysiology%2Cpsychometrics&year_start=1900&year_end=2022&corpus=en&smoothing=3

Startups routinely fail. Nothing is permanent or cushy any more

Adriano Aguzzi @AdrianoAguzzi  Some friends, accomplished scientists aged >55 and with H-index >100, gave up tenure and moved to industry. Then, the company’s fortunes changed, they lost their job, can’t go back and are too old to start anew. Academia can be annoying but think twice before leaving. Replying to @AdrianoAguzzi I am 75 this

Jeff’s brain was not an organoid, brains in many forms, “human” takes prayer devotion and caring

Ricard Solé @ricard_sole How complex can cognition be in brain organoids? Since they do not sense or act on their environments, they lack cognitive complexity or agency. Without the organism, the “spherical brain” (my drawing) is a fascinating window to evolution and disease but not to actual cognition. https://pic.x.com/6r4kshpocm Replying to @ricard_sole Jeff’s brain was
