I check most technologies to see which might be adapted to low cost 3D gravitational imaging arrays. And testing how IMEC online processes work. It would be much simpler to let

XIMEA camera suggestions – global sharing of cameras for calibration, algorithm development

Richard K Collins 3D Scannning Replication, Assistive Technologies December 7, 2023

Ivan, The longest I have waited for a reply is five and a half years. Of course, I have written to senior people, only to find they have died or retired. Thank you for sharing the price of this camera. Since I wrote, I continued to research PCIe cameras. I have been following MIPI Alliance

AI should be accessible to all and not perpetuate the unconscionable hardware incompatibility fight between corporations

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies December 6, 2023

This may be Apple’s biggest move on open-source AI so far: MLX, a PyTorch-style NN framework optimized for Apple Silicon, e.g. laptops with M-series chips. The release did an excellent job on designing an API familiar to the deep learning audience, and showing minimalistic… https://pic.twitter.com/7EMUCdNrry Replying to @DrJimFan I used Apple II for work starting in

I think black holes have complex interiors, containing all the information of their lifetimes

Richard K Collins Atomic Fuels December 6, 2023

I expect, eventually, someone will model black holes with traveling and standing waves to find infinite ways to fill a region of space with complex energy structures where visible light is not emitted, but strong gravity is. My own view is that the big bang was just a quark gluon nova in a much large

Springer might gain more from helping open collaborations than more “publish and forget” journals

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies December 5, 2023

I know you are happy to better serve members of the Springer groups, but you might be slightly ahead of others encouraging global community sharing and collaboration. So keep in mind the broader needs of countries and humans who cannot afford your services, or are not able to pay for collaborative site services – directly

BRAC seems to be “processing the poor”, not teaching them to work together globally for the good of all.

Richard K Collins Assistive Technologies December 5, 2023

Title: BRAC could provide a way for all the people they help to work together, to help others Meghan, Donella Rapier, Irene Khan, At https://bracusa.org/why-it-works/ and in the 2022 Annual Report, you say “poverty and inequality are human-made”. How is BRAC changing human institutions serving 700 Million in many countries? Down to the individual needs
