Re: [Vo]:The LENR-CANR ChatGPT is ON LINE!
Here we see the LENR-CANR.org bot going off the deep end with hallucinations -- Hello! What can I do for you today? In his research at China Lake, Melvin Miles used a copper jacket in one of his calorimeters. Describe this. According to the data provided, Melvin Miles improved the China Lake calorimetry by using a copper inner jacket that acted as the integrator and replaced the H2O jacket. An insulating box over the cell top and bath greatly reduced the effect of changes in the room temperature. Furthermore, the lead wires coming out of the cell were thermally staked to the bath itself, thereby further reducing the effect of the room temperature. A copper outer jacket contacted the bath and minimized bath level. These improvements are illustrated in Figure 4 of the data provided. What document is Figure 4 in? Figure 4 is in the EPRI Proceedings: Fourth International Conference on Cold Fusion Volume 4: Theory and Special Topics Papers, TR-104188-V4, which was published in 1994 by the Electric Power Research Institute. [There is no paper by Miles in Volume 4.] Do you have a URL for EPRI Proceedings: Fourth International Conference on Cold Fusion Volume 4: Theory and Special Topics Papers, TR-104188-V4? Yes, the URL for EPRI Proceedings: Fourth International Conference on Cold Fusion Volume 4: Theory and Special Topics Papers, TR-104188-V4 is http://my.epri.com/portal/server.pt?Abstract_id=TR-104188-V4. [This URL was provided by me. It is defunct.] Do you have the title of the paper with Figure 4? The title of the paper with Figure 4 is "Improved Calorimetry at China Lake" by Melvin H. Miles, which is included in the EPRI Proceedings: Fourth International Conference on Cold Fusion Volume 4: Theory and Special Topics Papers, TR-104188-V4. [There is no such paper anywhere in the literature, as far as I know. The exact phrase "Improved Calorimetry at China Lake" does not appear anywhere in the literature, although variations of it do appear, in papers by Miles. For example, this reference p. 13 says: https://lenr-canr.org/acrobat/MilesManomalousea.pdf *...* An *improved calorimeter* recently developed at *China Lake* that can accomplish these tasks is described in the next section. In June of 1995, ...]

It is not good for editing papers, which is mostly what I do these days. I expect there will soon be AI versions of voice input transcription. Maybe online? I expect they will blow Dragon Speak out of the water. They will be far better. I say that for two reasons: ChatGPT translation from Japanese into English is far better than Google translate (https://translate.google.com). The Bots have generated a lot of accurate linguistic data. I expect it is nothing like human knowledge of grammar, but it works. I have recently discovered that AI based online OCR programs are far superior to desktop OCR programs such as Adobe Acrobat. I used Adobe Acrobat OCR to make old documents such as ICCF3 "searchable." You can export the resulting text to Microsoft Word or a text file. Recently ChatGPT recommended I try the Amazon AWS Textract online OCR program. I tried it. I did a file-compare of the AWS output compared to the Adobe Acrobat output. AWS has many fewer OCR errors. I think you could correct many voice input errors by using the AI linguistics-based methods, and the pattern recognition algorithms. I think the pattern recognition algorithms can be applied to audio track data in a way that is similar to images of printed letters.
[Vo]:A though experiment and discussion that should be important in my view
Hi First of all, the pre-history of the linked article exists at different dark corners of the internet and most likely I'm not the original person behind these ideas. But I find the thought experiment logical and feel that I'm obligated to popularize the ideas as they seem coherent in many ways. It is not dressed in QM or any fancy variant of them, but I would expect that one would be able to derive e.g. QED from these models if they were true. The whole idea is to model objects with streams of current at the speed of light that do not interact differently than what our intuition is. There are insanely beautiful formulations of Maxwell's equations if we constrain our currents to such kinds. Helical paths have been a recurring theme of explaining matter and the energy in the solenoid has been in many researchers minds where the mass is located. What struck me however is that focusing on the energy density a more natural principle are that it should be invariant in all lorens transformed reference systems. This enables us to postulate that space can not hold an unlimited amount of energy density and there is an upper limit to it. This whole nonlinear concept is also Lorenz invariant if we know postulated that the energy density is constant in a point. A side effect from this is that in spherical symmetric particles E=mc² which have some theoretical implications. There is much more to say, but I link the article here. I hope to be able to popularize this as I think it's a very interesting idea and I wouldn't do my job as a fellow human not to share it although typically if you do such stuff you will be labeled as a crackpot and Einstein wannabe or whatnot. Personally I would like to spend a year in a retreat with a group of smart people and expand on this in different directions and create the proper academic trail, just like when QM was developed by Niels Bohr and his fellows. At least this idea would then have its proper attention even if it's a dead end. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1O8gvLX-j0l3IrkXU6uiBOlQt-7dzbSVP/view?usp=sharing

There is no difference between male and female dialects in English. In a novel there may be some slight differences in conversational English, but not expository writing. In Japanese there is no sex difference in formal expository writing, which is what ChatGPT responses are, except they are in formal diction instead of neutral, which is kind of weird. Informal writing has clear differences between sexes. Something like the lyrics to the Disney song "Let it Go" are conspicuously in the female dialect. The meaning of the words are different, as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-dqMG-Uycg https://fangirlisms.com/lyrics-and-translations/let-it-go-ari-no-mama-de-lyrics-translation/ She sounds a bit like the heroine in a novel written in 1910. Japanese also has many regional accents and dialects. Some of the rural ones are practically incomprehensible. The news sometimes puts subtitles on the screen when they interview some old coot from the middle of nowhere in the far north. People use words and grammar from the 19th century, and even the 18th century. It resembles U.S. Gullah dialects, which I believe are the oldest living versions of English in the world. Male and female dialect distinctions are made in all regional dialects as far as I know, and they are along the same lines.
