Solar structure and evolution, some notes on a global model of the sun, open and universally accessible on the Internet

Joergen Christensen-Dalsgaard, You have described some of the pieces relevant for study of solar structure and evolution in words, pictures and pictures of equations.  The equations in the PDF are not in portable symbolic mathematical form.  The data from all the steps in the calibration of the model and its variations is not readily available.

Comment on Welding – semi-robotic, solar system colonization, contract work in vacuum, atomic fuels

https://www.weldingtribe.com/automated-welding Randy, Thanks for the site!! Some good advice here. There are lots of options for making intelligent tools for human welders, rather than completely replacing them with robots. Have you run across this yet? For instance, I came to your site from a search “welding” (“current” OR “amperes”) “sticky” looking for the physics and

3D Video, Camera accelerometer gyro inertia, depth, all sky, global correlation networks

I am watching many live videos on the Internet.  It is an exploding social phenomena on the Internet.  I am interested in the machine vision, artificial intelligence, image processing, sensor correlation network sides of it as well. Here I am looking at a bridge over a river.  At the moment I happened to start, it

IMT is now Atomica – Please also try making gravitational sensors

IMT sent me a note about their name change. I wrote back to ask them to work harder on gravitational imaging sensors which can be adaptations of MEMS accelerometer technologies they are already familiar with. I am encouraging anyone who makes MEMS accelerometers and inertial sensors to at least try to prepare for gravitational sensor

Comment on Odaiba Tokyo Live Webcam – Standards for live Internet data streams and archives

Dear Reader, I am watching your live webcam at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVmEjdoD2x8 with the title レインボーブリッジと東京タワー 4Kライブカメラ、お台場東京、高層マンションからライブ配信。首都高速台場線、お天気カメラお台場東京。【ちんあなご】Livecamera RainbowBridge I was curious what kind of camera you are using, its lens and horizontal field of view.  There are thousands of live webcams on the Internet now, and no standards for documentation.  I personally think it would be good if

Counting extensions and file sizes of project folders on GitHub to recommend changes

https://github.com/madnight/githut/issues/48 Over the past several years I have been studying groups on GitHub. Part of the Internet Foundation studies for global communities on the Internet for the past 23 years. Much of the human cost of learning these various projects, for any group size, is dealing with the many and different formats. A mature project

New Video: Energy Office of Science, PNNL Article, Climate Model, Sharing

Energy Office of Science, PNNL Article, Climate Model, Sharing https://youtu.be/qeYxTKO6nDw I received a note from (Energy.gov) Office of Science with some nice articles and references. But it was hard to use. One article leads to Pacific Northwest National Lab (PNNL.gov) and it was hard to read and use. So I recorded my experience and comments,
