The SVS PB-17 Ultra advertises a range of 12-220Hz at -3dB. I imagine it could play a pure 7Hz tone if you turn it up. And most speakers can play infrasound for many non-sinusoidal waveforms [0]. They'll drop the fundamental and some l

My comment was mostly a joke. I don't think there's anything "special" about GPT-5. But these models have exhibited a few surprising emergent traits, and it seems plausible to me that at one point they could intentionall

I agree with many of the comments here, but also feel part of this is caused by the declination of our collective physical and spiritual health. It's easier to care about your job when you're capable of doing a good job. But the a

1) Preliminary election-night results (provided by ballot-counting software ) will change drastically as new ballots arrive, and it is harder for voters to understand margins. For example, a 2022 miscount in California for a board of educa

Have you not heard about approval voting? Or do you not see it as another path to multi party elections?

Well, it seems logical that any "overgrowth" would need more space - but it looks like our skulls are malleable and continue to fuse into adulthood. I wonder if there's a process where they grow to the size needed by the brai

Yeah I'm curious if the negative effects of autism could be due to the brain physically running out of space and getting "compressed?" It reminds me of trepanation, the old-school mental health procedure to just drill a hole

IMO "muting" as a user-facing concept should be done away with. It's inherently negative, basically meaning "not enabled" and as such, `not muted` == `not not enabled`. Just say whether their mic is on or off, and r

It's an unstable equilibrium. The more necessary evils we depend on, the more things that can fail and further perturb the system. Stopping now helps nudge us back towards the stable equilibrium we had.

I read over the pandemic that dogs are hyper-sensitive to space [1], and I believe that humans are too. Much more than we're aware. And while bad internet connections, mics, webcams, etc all contribute to a less enjoyable time collab

Could it be ADHD? I have both ADHD and "hidden hearing loss" and I chalk both up to my brain struggling to filter out noise/distractions.

I understand wanting to make better use of the space, but this seems like the wrong move. Co-location is the entire value of the hybrid model over remote. By forcing 2 employees to use the same desk, you are capping one of their teams to be

The real problem is that all negatives make it harder to understand things. They open the door for double (and triple) negatives to find their way into the code, and then bang: The only person who can read it is the person who wrote it. S

The main concern seems to be around bot accounts spamming comment threads? If so, it seems as though account-level signal/noise weighting could help. New accounts and ones that are consistently downvoted could be given less prominence

I was gifted a nice Our Place pan set for Christmas which uses Ceramic nonstick [0]. Ceramic nonstick doesn’t use PFOAs or PTFEs so some people think it’s safe. From Our Place’s FAQ [1]: > our Always Pan uses a sol-gel non-stick coating

Nash equilibriums exist when bluffing is involved? It seems like it would introduce a level of predictability that would make it easier to know when the opponent is bluffing.

Wow, that's crazy. It seems like it would be easier for AI to do, since it doesn't have any tells (it's easier to have a poker face when you don't have a face at all). I remember playing poker as a kid, and experimenting

Yeah this is one of the reasons why I find it more dull than chess. There is an incentive to just not move your pieces, so that the other player thinks they're bombs. As a result, players only activate 2-3 pieces at a time. In chess,
