I am building such an AI tutoring experience, focusing on a Socratic style with product support for forking conversations onto tangents. Happy to add you to the waitlist, will probably publish an MVP in a few weeks.

Pretty cool result with lots of experimental evidence. Another purely speculative example - Geosmin is the human-recognizable indicator of rain, and given how intensely sensitive we are to this molecule, I wouldn't be surprised if many

Oh! I think this explains the issue I had on Android Firefox where every so often my phone would randomly consume 10gb/day in data (costing me $stupid on phone bill). I believe a news site was playing audio and was loading new ads on r

Choral/string music is quite nice - the musicians have an opportunity to bend pitch as locally appropriate to make perfect intervals. I definitely did this when I was singing in a chorus. But piano is still my first love :)

> Perfect pitch means that I can sit down at a piano (or other instrument), play one random note, and you can instantly tell me what note that is. No preamble, no tuning yourself up, you can just do it. Yes, I can do this. I don't u

fp4/fp8 for neural networks don't work the way you think they do - they are merely compression formats - a set of, say, 256 fp32 weights from 1 neuron are lossily turned into 1 max value (stored in fp32 precision) and 256 fp4&#x2F
