The "obvious" solution that I think you're describing is the Hammersley sofa (1968), which has A=2.2074. For a long time, it was thought this might be the optimal shape, but it was never proven. And it couldn't have bee

You're getting at the crux of the issue: it's very hard to distinguish legitimate DMCA takedown requests submitted by individuals from illegitimate ones, and occasionally, they're going to make mistakes. Anything that the aut

An alternative business model is that you, or more likely your insurance, pays $20/mo for unlimited access to a medical agent, built on top of an LLM, that can answer your questions. This is good for everyone -- the patient gets answer
