I think there is a consensus that developing AGI is the most important thing for the continued existence of human civilization. And we know a chair or table will not stand with just two legs. In fact some believe the USA grew into the most

I'm honestly not familiar with audio compression. But if its very low amplitude reference tone, isn't that the sort of thing that would get removed during compression? and if its large amplitude wouldn't it become a matter of

I get that you can monitor phase shift in a signal, if you have knowledge of what the reference is. If I expect a 1kHz sine wave, and you transmit a signal that sounds imperceptibly no different than a pure 1khz sine wave (to a human ear),

Thought we're talking about fuel for operation of a power plant. How much mining and transportation does it take to get sunlight to reach a panel? Or wind to reach a turbine blade? If you want to discuss the capital expense of nuclea
