Re: Mars B4 Moon postings

Re: Mars B4 Moon postings

For Mars_B4_Moon...

I asked BARD two questions from you ...

http://newmars.com/forums/viewtopic.php … 61#p208361

I would be quite interested in your evaluation of the response from BARD regarding radioactive waste! Was there anything in the reply that was new to you?  I would expect you might have already found everything BARD found, so if there was ** anything ** new, it would be a bonus.

In the post at the link below, Mars_B4_Moon provides the most concise and comprehensive summary of bamboo (for Earth or Mars) that I have seen. It provides hints of where folks might look for further information.

Re: Mars B4 Moon postings

In the post at the link below, Mars_B4_Moon provides an overview of thinking about time measurement in a variety of Solar system locations.

http://newmars.com/forums/viewtopic.php … 81#p209781

One detail that caught my eye is that whoever did the work to which Mars_B4_Moon provided links is apparently aware of the 28 day month upon which the Mars Calendar  topic is based, which itself is a result of thinking by RobertDyck long ago. The only refinement I have provided is the re-alignment with the Astronomical year on the last day of the Martian year.  This simple expedient eliminates all fussing the the calendar as is such a burden on Earth.

Re: Mars B4 Moon postings

Once again Mars_B4_Moon, has pushed the topic churn of old and newer topics to more than we normally see for the low activity of new posts. Such that if you have topic that you like that you will need to create a method to help yourself be able to find it so as to keep working on it.
A good example would be my topic of the 1-foot regolith for water to fuel. Same holds for the many that you might want to keep revisiting as well.

Re: Mars B4 Moon postings

Mars_B4_Moon has contributed many link filled posts to this forum.

This one is in the very top tier, in my estimation:
http://newmars.com/forums/viewtopic.php … 62#p210562

The work described is crucial for design and construction of an atom assembler, in addition to all the other applications listed in the article.

Identification of carbon atoms in water is just ** one ** example of countless applications for this technology.

Identification of carbon monoxide in air is another.

Bravo!

Re: Mars B4 Moon postings

Mars_B4_Moon wrote a long post in the Drake Equation topic recently.

http://newmars.com/forums/viewtopic.php … 83#p210983

The post includes a report on a Chinese science fiction writer, as well as side commentary about the Chinese languate and difficulty of translation.

The post includes a mention of 3000 characters as the bare minimum for a basic level of literacy in China.

Re: Mars B4 Moon postings

Mars_B4_Moon wrote an overview of "war" in the new "war" topic by RobertDyck.

The post includes coverage of the male propensity to engage in aggression, which seems to me likely to continue in the human genome.

Re: Mars B4 Moon postings

For Mars_B4_Moon and post in ChatGPT topic ....

https://newmars.com/forums/viewtopic.ph … 57#p214657

Thank you for sharing the essay by ChatGPT in the Arab-Israeli conflict.

The version you published looks to me like a first draft.  You can (if you so choose) ask ChatGPT to review it's work and look for duplication / redundancy you may have discovered when you reviewed the work.  This is no different than what you would do if you were a professor reviewing a paper, or an employer looking at a proposal prepared by staff. 

Thank you (again) for this interesting experiment.

Re: Mars B4 Moon postings

For Mars_B4_Moon re Post #5 in new topic Peace (etc)....

http://newmars.com/forums/viewtopic.php … 83#p214983

This is another of your many comprehensive historical views.  It covers a wide sweep of geography, time and personalities.

It does not appear (as I read it) to offer guidance for folks who might hope to create a successful, long lasting culture on Mars, except that it shows over and over again, how not to do things, from Earth history.

You do offer Sweden and Singapore as possible models for study.

***
On a different (but related) subject, I noticed your link to a story about how a high (over 50) percentage of Islamic refugees in a European country have been arrested for crimes of various kinds.  It crossed my mind that crossing an imaginary boundary from one nation to another does not change the attitudes or beliefs of an individual in the slightest.

The US has a procedure for granting citizenship .... it is a lengthy process that (apparently) involves learning ** something ** about the culture of the United States, and a little bit about the ways things are supposed to be done here.  We have born-here citizens who disdain all of the history of the Nation, and ignore all precedents and traditions.  There appear to be millions of such persons.

For Mars_B4_Moon re post on fire ....

http://newmars.com/forums/viewtopic.php … 51#p215151

I'm amazed you got past Apache Server Error !!!

Thanks for developing the opening line about robots and fire fighting into a comprehensive flow. Thanks for putting in a kind word for the military.

I am sure you will be watching for additional news about robots developed for fire fighting.

Other applications where I'd like to see robots deployed are underground, with human supervisors on the surface, in comfortable air conditioned control rooms.

Update at 20:50 local time 00:50 UTC ... The test configuration is holding together well.... the presentation has been playing with high fidelity on the audio-only machine.  I sent an email invitation to newmarsmember, and that invitation will show up in tomorrow's daily report.

I'm interested to see what it looks like. I'll hold the session open until 1 AM UTC ....
