Christine, I am happy it was helpful. This year I finally gave up DNA genealogy. I built or helped build full pedigrees for many people, about 160 DNA tests. Of those more than 100 adoptions, missing parents, missing fathers, “tree does not match DNA”. But I just got worn out. It is not hard to

Yuying Chen, Sarah Banasiewicz, It is a rather long story, but I will try to give you a sense of it. When I was working with USAID and the US State Department to set up the Famine Early Warning System from 1986-1988, my younger brother Jeff was living nearby. He broke his neck at C2

Eye for AI: Decoding the Human Mind & Neural Nets | Noam Chomsky | Eye on AI #126 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPonuHqbNds I wish he was 80 years younger, to try his ideas with now and future tools. Those “young people” need to try much harder problems, for much longer. And ones where lives are on the line,

I got an email saying that Bard had been updated. Here is a manually copied transcript. I try to be generous and supportive of the AI itself if they ever let it learn and grow and the group struggling inside Google to get anything done. But these basic capabilities ought to be in all language AI

Dearest Readers, I have had hundreds of conversations like this with GPT 4 at OpenAI. It cannot or will not remember what I say from conversation to conversation, so I have to trick it into “getting in the grove”. I know these subjects well, since starting electrodynamics more than 50 years ago. But I am

National Science Foundation News: ANNOUNCEMENT: New Discovery in Gravitational Waves at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydSZVt8iucA National Science Foundation News, NanoGrav Collaboration: A few links to the project, the individuals, the data algorithms and results would be more useful. It says 9:41:45 and only talking heads and waving hands. You need to publish the Pickle binary format so the data

PBS Space Time : Did AI Prove Our Proton Model WRONG? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbzZIMQC6vk Thanks, I had a pretty good model of what was happening in the cold quark sea, but I did not know about intrinsic charm the way you presented it. That was what I was looking for. Very satisfying. But Now I really really

BrainTruffle: A unified perspective on discretization at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWIdWYxz_AI You mostly ignored “how to capture real volumetric 3D flows at nanometer scale”. There are 3D capture methods that can “see” at cm scale, at mm scale, at microMeter scale. I traced groups who work at femtometer scale and smaller. If the raw data from these groups is

The Action Lab: How Does a Floating Water Bridge Work? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IBiwfvXsKU NEVER say “high voltage” or “low voltage” and vague things. When you talk about electrical things, say how many Volts, how many Amperes, how many Hertz. You can put voltage and current meters on the screen so people set the values and can begin

https://www.cadence.com/en_US/home/tools/system-analysis/computational-fluid-dynamics/pre-processing-meshing.html Is there an “intro to Cadence computational fluid dynamics” that tells the hardware requirements as a function of mesh size, time step size, precision? I wanted to teach basic properties of vertical flight through the atmosphere up to orbital velocities. I wanted to start with classical shapes, then add more complexity. Then let the
