A rule that “data containers” and systems must credit and bidirectionally link the original developers. Edward Mehr, Thank you for sharing your experiences and insights. Process and control systems optimization is critical to efficient global and heliospheric industries. When the methods are not refined and shared, individual groups might benefit, but reduce the potential of

DNA genealogy – global, open shared, lossless, efficient, fair and for all humans

Richard K Collins All Global Open Devices, All knowledge, All Languages, Assistive Technologies, DNA Genealogy, Efficiency Prizes November 8, 2024

I have whole sections of my DNA matches that are off by two generations. Everything is crowded into 3rd and 4th cousins and many of them make no sense. I have found that part of that is mistakes in trees that are propagating faster and with less and less review. Ancestry does not give sufficient

Assemble macroscopic materials with bond energies averaging 10 KeV not 10 eV.

Richard K Collins All Global Open Devices, All knowledge, Atomic Fuels, Efficiency Prizes November 3, 2024

https://x.com/AloneHemant/status/1852757181927698686/photo/1 Assemble kilograms or metric tons of materials with bond energies averaging 10 KeV not 10 eV. There are many such stable materials with active containment. Asking for new fuels and materials to act like old ones is limiting the search for useful things. It just has to be reliable, practical, and useful. It does

I was not familiar with Aachen University. You might want to include links to Wikipedia articles in English, German, Chinese, and other human languages for a more balanced and complete overview and history of

If you hate disease and inertia, work on positive and responsible things.

Richard K Collins All Global Open Devices, All knowledge, Efficiency Prizes, Global Open Resources September 12, 2024

Adriano Aguzzi @AdrianoAguzzi A student told me that he visited a lab to explore a possible postdoc position. He spoke to a dozen people, and no student/postdoc explained him what they were doing or show any data. What a sad, wrong and self-defeating way of doing science. Replying to @AdrianoAguzzi If you hate disease and

Born, raised, live in Texas. Growth is not enough. It needs caring and sharing, and much greater engagement with the world and its future.

Map Pack: Why Texas is Becoming THE Most Powerful State at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRJ6_djB6kE Born, raised, live in Texas. On my Mom’s side from about 1860 and on my Dad’s side about 1920. My Dad and his brother grew up in the oil fields. My Maternal grandmother wrote a small book, “Living in the oil fields”. Many

Results of Experimental Studies on Thorium Migration in Electric Thrusters – Doug Codron, Keith Goodfellow, Daniel Erwin https://www.researchgate.net/publication/268479296_Results_of_Experimental_Studies_on_Thorium_Migration_in_Electric_Thrusters My Comments: Thank you for sharing your research. I think it likely the conditions for “superconducting” thermionic/photonic emission are not hard to achieve. Adding nuclear and electromagnetic ionization sources is one practical way to start controlled avalanches.

Foundation updated – One “Seldon year” is worth 1000 years of humans doing it unaided

Richard K Collins All knowledge, All Languages, Efficiency Prizes, Internet efficiency, Internet Foundation July 31, 2024

The Trantor of Foundation only had 40 Billion humans. With nuclear, atomic and true AI, most everyone could see the sky. The food and material intermediates flowing to human consumable and fabrication locations, can be energized by nuclear and atomic power sources. Mainly gamma, electron, ion and isotope forms – which are well understood and

Morning Brew: Why the Internet Is Running Out of Electricity at http://youtube.com/watch?v=xHuoWV3Jwik The Internet as a whole is grossly inefficient, sending megabytes where a few Kilobytes would do. Gigabytes where MegaBytes would do. Rarely do you get offered an index and selection from data “sharing”, it is “click here to download petabytes, see we’re sharing”. The
