   Interest point! For Canada I used the canadian billboard as source https://www.billboard.com/charts/canadian-hot-100/ Indeed this might be indexing on English Canada

   This message made my day. Thanks so much for sharing! Funny enough, part of the inspiration for this project came from a trip to India I took just a couple of months ago. Love your country and its music

   Yeah, I think the matching algorithm is struggling with some non-english speaking countries. I'll have to manually check. If you have the time and want to open an issue here's the link (but no pressure, this is already helpful) h

   Similar idea. This is less of a radio, free and open-source :) https://github.com/matteocantiello/88mph

   Nope. I am scraping a number of different sources, mostly un-related to spotify. See https://github.com/matteocantiello/88mph?tab=readme-ov-file#...

    Thanks! Data sources are shown here: https://github.com/matteocantiello/88mph I agree it would be cool to not just expose the top singles of the year, but potentially choose the top songs in a different genre, so that

    You are 100% right. I started with the 5 year interval for simplicity, and then I noticed what you pointed out for the exact same reason (I grew up with Grunge so this was very obvious to me as well). I started adding more granularity, so e

    Thanks! Also from Italy :) For Italian hits I took data from this repo: https://www.hitparadeitalia.it//hp_yends/ But yes, there might be mistakes across the charts. Sources used are documented here: https:/

    Thanks! The suggest feature should allow to add lists for new countries (just need to change the type): https://88mph.fm/suggest Let me know if it doesn't work for you

    Thanks for the feedback! Yes, there are still some inaccuracies that I am fixing manually. I implemented a suggest feature so that I can get some external help to expand and polish: https://88mph.fm/suggest

    Thanks! I'll fix that. Re charts: English-speaking countries were easy to scrape automatically, and recent charts for most countries were findable too. But older charts for non-English markets are a different story. For old Italian top

    At first I was a bit puzzled about why OpenAI would want to get involved in this somewhat niche project. Obviously, they don't give a damn about Overleaf’s market, which is a drop in the bucket. What OpenAI is after -- I think -- it’s

    The findings in chimpanzees indicate that both humans and chimpanzees exhibit population-level asymmetries in handedness, though humans show more pronounced lateralization (e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles

    Interesting work. One aspect that doesn't seem to be discussed is that the formation of mentor-mentee pairs is not random. On average, in the realm of physics and astrophysics that I'm familiar with, it's more challenging to

    Yes, I agree with the point that Oxygen is not answering the question definitively. The issue is that say, you build a very, very expensive space telescope and you have to decide if you want it to look for Oxygen or CFC. CFC is a shot in th

    Why would the pollution vastly outlive the polluters? It's not obvious to me. Mixing and recycling timescale of an atmosphere seem very short compared to other relevant timescales of the problem. Impactors, volcanic eruptions... the me

    I thought the idea of searching for industrial pollution was actually a pretty bad one. We've been polluting at detectable levels for just ~100 years. And if we keep doing it we'll likely wipe us out in a few hundred more. Overall
