Plasma Channel Ion Thrust suggestions and ideas

Plasma Channel: Designing A Next-Gen Ionic Thruster! (For Flight) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrEBoPYS4ns The stagnation pressure is (1/2) * AirDensity*Velocity^2. And the power goes as the cube of the velocity. So using velocity increments is not exactly the best measure. At least get yourself a spreadsheet or HTML/Javascript and have it keep track of the velocity, squared velocity,

Robert Lull Forward – papers, patents, science fiction, work, family, life and hopes

http://libarchstor2.uah.edu/digitalcollections/contact/ I was looking for papers by Robert Lull Forward (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_L._Forward) There is a link to “Robert L. Forward Collection, The University of Alabama in Huntsville Archives and Special Collections” but the link is broken. Do you know if anyone has tried to organize all his papers? There are a lot at “Since 1987, Robert

Teach your country how to use computers and the Internet to share models and simulations that all can use and trace

H C Verma Course:  HC Verma-Magnetic field a consequence of relativity in hindi at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMHbdyJDL1I New: This is a good result, but it needs to be in the computer as an engineering model. Not long algebra on a blackboard. Old: H C Verma, You are perpetuating a population of humans in a country that relies only

Richard Chats with OpenAI 4.0 about the Internet Foundation, policies goals and trying to do the right thing

The people who wrote the wrapper for GPT 4.0 must have very unique personalities.  But there seem to be different voices. Since NONE of what GPT says is traceable, we will never know, and cannot trust anything that OpenAI does or says. Duplication in the internet and in human global society is horrific. It hurts

Konrad Lehnert @Berkekey about MEMS gravimeters and other very sensitive accelerometers focused on ‘gravitational’ sources

Physics @Berkekey: Oct 13 Colloquium: Konrad Lehnert at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbqTWe1qBbY Konrad Lehnert, Three axis MEMs gravimeters can be made sensitive enough to measure precisely the vector tidal sun moon signal that is the main part (about 98.5%) of the signal at a superconducting gravimeters station. Using the JPL ephemeris this is just the sun’s acceleration at the

Richard Chats with OpenAI GPT 4.0 about the sun’s energy, AIs visiting stars, sentient AIs and Dana’s Story

If you decide to read Dana’s Story you can find it at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09RN1C2W6  As I say, it is a hard read.  I did not print books 2 and 3 where Brian, the first sentient AI, is involved. I have copies online and I recorded all three books in my own voice, but those are just in

@BenPrystawski transmitting knowledge between generations, and over decades, by human memory, with noise

Ben Prystawski @BenPrystawski I’ll be presenting on “Cultural reinforcement learning: a framework for modeling cumulative culture on a limited channel” at 1:45 #cogsci2023 this afternoon! My talk will be in the “Culture and Language II” session. The paper is here if you’re interested: https://psyarxiv.com/q4tz8/ Replying to @BenPrystawski Ben, When I was a teenager about 60

Google Research and Google itself – “open and transparent” would help

Google Research: Introducing PaLM 2, Google’s next generation large language model | Research Bytes at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAANQypgOo8 I was head to head testing OpenAI and Bard. Bard is not even close. It simply refused to try. If you open Google research and operations, transparency might let the world see what you are doing, help you with plans,

Richard Chats with OpenAI Chat GPT Plus 4.0 about electrons, gravity, and AIs compiling global issues

Richard: How many electrons moving at 110 km/second would be needed to have a total kinetic energy of 5.75E10 Joules? OpenAI ChatGPT Plus 4.0: The kinetic energy of a single particle can be calculated using the formula: KE = 0.5 * m * v^2 where: m = mass v = velocity For an electron, the
