   "What’s so bad about repetition?” the compulsion asks. But, no, really, what’s so bad about repetition? Or perhaps it would be better rephrased as: What’s so good about innovation?" Surprise is delightful to the mind. When the m

    Some important things to consider: 1. Location estimates are noisy--you have to integrate over many samples to get a statistically significant result 2. Location estimates are 2-dimensional. The noise and statistics for lat are not the sam

    No disrespect, but historical evidence does not support this argument. I've seen similar claims made in other threads. Fertility rates have been decreasing (multiple factors) since 1850, even while general prosperity has been increasi

    For those who played in high school and then put your instrument down for 40 years, you can pick it back up and play again! One of the great joys of my life now is playing trombone in a local band with other people just like me--relearning

    I’m thinking about volunteering at a local museum. They get school groups to visit. I may have the opportunity to build a few interactive things for them. Maybe there is something like that near you?

    Just spitballing, but what if multiple AI agents played different parts and had to synchronize, harmonize and even improvise with each other? This might add the texture necessary to make the result more "listenable"? Anyone out t
