It would be nice if the song titles history was listed so it is possible to figure out what song you just listened to. See Soma.fm for an example. Might be difficult if that info is not available digitally (though maybe you could use Shaz

In New Hampshire and a few other states it is illegal to record audio from other people without permission. I know because I was part of a team building a social network (CenceMe) that shared sensor data from phones so people could see wha

How about going a step further, train an AI on the actual live pet and create an AI that emulates the pet. It could be virtual (on a screen) or a robot. A tracking collar and some strategically placed cameras could be the source of the tr

I've been using 16GB Macbooks and Linux PC's for many years and often have 500+ tabs open (going down rabbit holes is how I find new things.) I find todays OS's are not really fully debugged for situations like this. I run

Maybe as a human presence detector for security, control of musical instruments, monitoring vital signs. In all those cases you probably don't want a radio emitter near other equipment (especially in a hospital). For security systems

We never needed to track who was using the web sites since it was only our group and related researchers, so there was just one password and everyone had it. The data displayed was not very sensitive. If you are concerned about ownership

I preferred to use a web site. If you send data/analysis via email or documents then people lose them, can't find them, ask you to send them again. If it is on a web site they can always find it. If there is new data/analy

This seems like it was caused by the reduced accuracy of forecasts due to the climate crisis. NASA made its plans based on an early forecast and later forecasts increased the wind speed estimates after it was too late to move the rocket.

I predict all art on the web will soon include a tag that says "Permission is not granted to use this image to train an AI algorithm". Perhaps something similar also as a general legal notice for all content on all web sites. St

Is that wholesale price for solar panels? I don't know of anywhere I can buy a 100W panel for $36. Cheapest I've seen is just under $100 and they have been in that range for years.

So does work like this essentially mean there will always be strange edge cases in AI algorithms so that they will never be 100% accurate? Which means the AI driven cars and robots will also never be perfect at navigating the world? What

I've been a proponent of VR for 30 years and have noticed that there is strong resistance to it, not because of clunky headsets or field of view or graphics quality. The objection seems to derive more from concerns of a Matrix style w

My guess is that Java is becoming less popular because nobody wants to maintain someone else's legacy code. If you only admit to knowing a recent language you get to write your own new code in that language. Then eventually the new l

I've always loved brainstorming sessions but I have also noticed they often don't produce much in the way of results. I attribute this to the fact that nobody else (except me) would prepare for the sessions. Ideally the session

Maybe dark matter does have electromagnetic interactions with normal matter, but they are at an exceedingly high (or low) frequency. Science has limits in what frequencies it can probe, matter may not have the same limitations. A century

Don't worry, they can just keep raising prices to make up for declining profits. Seriously, this seems to be the philosophy of a lot of companies. I suspect a lot of companies large and small currently see raising prices as a way to

Writing code has little science behind it. Mechanical engineers can base decisions on physics and knowledge of materials. Software engineers have no such base to stand on. For example you can get rid of all buffer overflows with a compil

Here are some thoughts: * Mass produced housing built by machines. * Biological innovations (cures, manipulations, treating biology as circuitry to design stuff). * Robotics. As AI becomes more powerful robotics gets more useful. Robotics
