Adding a note to Maxwells equations on Wikipedia that will likely be erased – something better is possible

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell%27s_equations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_vector_potential https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_scalar_potential https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_calculus_identities Currently: Known as [[electromagnetic radiation]], these waves occur at various wavelengths to produce a [[Electromagnetic spectrum|spectrum]] of radiation from [[radio wave]]s to [[gamma ray]]s. Today there is theoretical research on waves with frequencies from quectoHertz (1E-30 Hertz) to QuettaHertz (1E30 Hertz). Practical measurements are roughly from nanoHertz (1E-9 Hertz) to YottaHertz

One hand does not know what the other is doing, or They have no clue

Some things really disgust me. This is one. “This content will become publicly available on April 16, 2025” https://www.osti.gov/biblio/2357015   If OSTI linked the open version, it is not obvious. I think they did not, do not, and do not care at all.   Nuclear Charge Radii of Silicon Isotopes https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.132.162502   Nuclear Charge Radii

Too narrow thinking is an academic stamp, rather global open resources

Claudio Fantinuoli @DrFantinuoli I wish a PhD student would dedicate their research to developing a formal, robust, and operationalizable method for evaluating interpreting performance in real-life settings. When will somebody finally take on this challenge? Replying to @DrFantinuoli You want one person for a short time, when you could have the world for the rest

Work smart, work small, work with care for all humans and related species

Eric Betzig @Eric_Betzig  Absolute madness. Future generations will curse you for what you’ve done to yourselves. x.com/disclosetv/sta… @disclosetv NOW – Germany blows up the cooling towers of the Grafenrheinfeld nuclear power plant, once a symbol of the country’s energy independence. https://pic.x.com/c0oeesviil Replying to @Eric_Betzig Now you can replace it with current and future nuclear and

The effort to impress a few can start global open networks

Brianna Bibel @biochem_bri  Updated updated metabolic pathways poster for peer review before I order them printed for my class. Thanks in advance! PDF: https://bit.ly/bbmetabolicmap JPEG: https://bit.ly/bbmetabolicmap_jpg https://pic.x.com/1grzqomght Replying to @biochem_bri Do not print them on paper. Make it a living tool on the Internet that all can use easily, connected to living resources for deep

USB over ethernet cable

USB over UTP cable: Testing Voltage Drop and Transfer Speed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6jk1r3Puzw Thank Ron Mattino: This makes sense, since more people use and rely on low loss ethernet. It is highly optimized. I wish you had tried 100 meters or 20 meters or 1 km. And computer to computer USB peer networking. Richard Collins, The Internet

Machines are only as smart as their designers and handlers

Flowers @flowersslop  Except GPT-4 is around 21 million times bigger than this. Our brain is also magnitudes bigger, more complex, and still more efficient than GPT-4. But at the level of the neurons, both do nothing fundamentally different. And *something* emerges from all this. In both cases. Machines are only as smart as their designers and handlers,

Facebook groups have to make up their own policies, because Facebook, in spite of its size does not improve

Since the Solar Photography group is using Facebook methods. When any of the group runs into things, it is also a Solar Photography group issue. Is “joining” the same as following? One day it might be useful for the group to use servers that support sharing and collaboration on solar images. I think about things
