And I'm pointing out that there are people with access to all of the required equipment today, who are experiencing a schizophrenic break... biology grad students.

The Colorado movie shooter was a Phd student. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Holmes_(mass_murderer) Someone like him would have access to the "properly stocked lab". That's the nightmare scenario.

As much as people may dislike Regan, his goal for reducing taxes on the wealthy was based upon the laffer curve. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laffer_curve The hypothesis is that lowering taxes rates will actually incr

I've been running Windows 11 via Parallels on my MacBook Pro - with my primary purpose being to run SolidWorks. However, my secondary purpose was to run games from my Steam library. So many of my games don't run on the native Mac

An alternative approach would be health care for all - with the caveat that there is NO private pay option. The unfortunate situation is that that ultra wealthy have greater influence over the political process due to citizens united, and a

After Cambridge Analytica, my "intelligent" friends basically abandoned the platform, while my distant conspiracy inclined uncles started posting baseless slop.

You can use it to find anomalies in data sets. I'd read somewhere that Starbucks coffee prices stick out on financial audits using benfords law, because they're over represented. In my scenario, I simply had access to a massive da

I'd recommend allowing 2 digit exploration. I've used it in the past when analyzing hard drive failure logical block addresses.

Can you offer this in a more traditional Amazon or Apple ebook store?

I recently made a phone call from the US to UK. I was horrified to find that my unlimited calling didn't apply to that international route. Really?!? Countries should be fighting to remove those fees. I can call Mexico or Canada withou

Can someone use this on Elon's "my heart goes out to you" video, and compare it to... similar gestures. Would be interested to see exactly how close it is.

Can you reduce the lower limit? I think my piano is tuned to just under that lower frequency and thus those fundamentals aren't showing up.

I've been reading Peter Thiel's Zero to One book, and read about his Christianity along with his opposition to charity, which seems like a paradox. I'm curious if he would have objected to funding leprosy elimination, as it&#

Dang. I wanted to try tuning my piano.

Having worked at Amex and other huge banks, let me assure you that there's much worse than Amex. Amex's Fraud analytics team was good. Risk was good. Ben's team is good.

I just tried a watermelon app called MelonAid. It predicted my melon was ripe to overripe. Cutting it up, my son seems to agree with the assessment.

Side note, I was playing with your app on my piano, checking each key. I noticed that the lowest keys didn't actually have the lowest values in your app. Maybe I'm misunderstanding how the app works?

There apparently are a bunch of watermelon ripeness checker apps. None get great reviews. Maybe you can get it to work. I only learned about this phenomenon while walking through Costco trying to pick out a good watermelon and asked Claude

Why does it only go down to 32.70 Hz? I just learned that watermelon ripeness can be determined by the FFT of 17Hz. Tried thumping my phone on th watermelon with your app. No luck. Can you make it go lower? Or is this some fundamental limit

You might be on to something. Starship is moving its launch facility to Florida. Elon previously suspected a sniper shooting at the SpaceX rockets. Moving the launches to Cape Canaveral would make them much harder for a sniper to target. An

I'm thrilled you like it. It seems to cut right to the core of the current "left/right" divide. I'm mostly concerned that once the government begins reviewing AI models prior to release, they'll all start parro

There are some piano tuners I've found who are a bit on the spectrum, who believe they can tune a piano in a way that no digital device can replicate. I'm skeptical, and would like to see how this method holds up against one of th

I was able to corner Claude Opus 4.8 into eventually conceding "Yes". ChatGPT 5.5 Instant: "Yes" I don't appear to have access to the full 5.5, and not giving them another $20. I highly recommend pushing on Grok. Th
