    Is anyone aware of open source piano sound synthesis software? Something like Pianoteq, but open?

    I must add that this feeling "people judging you" is mostly YOU. That is we THINK what other people are thinking, as we don't have direct link to their brains. The intensity of thi…

    If several possible motivations describe the same behavior, why go for the most cynical one? It is not a sign of intellectual rigor. There is a wide array of emotions, and not ever…

    I heard similar phrasing used by one psychotherapist that I admire, "I am different from my wishes" and "I am different from my (past) behavior". He once said jokingly that if some…

    It kinda makes sense to me. In the end he learned to shudder with his SO (she did a weird trick but is it that weird?)

    Because people live in a busy world, where knowledge is not transferred with enough love and integrity. And also people are afraid to say "I don't know" and what little they know t…

    Actually I was going for equality. Not equality of outcome, but equality of basic human rights. Let's take a recent example. Nobody deserves to be a sex slave trapped in an Epstein…

    I wonder how rich people even come up with the idea that they are above normal human beings. The idea feels completely unnatural to me, and I strongly believe that one would have t…

    This reminds of a quote by Nikola Tesla: “The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.”…

    I think it is great for vocabulary. But vocabulary is only a part of knowing a language. Apps mostly aim at vocabulary, and while approach is similar I think it is much better to s…

    I think there is no substitute for old style learning, teacher, classroom and stress of memorizing about 20 words for the next class. Did anyone use those small format notebooks wi…

    How come shortsighted thinking became so popular? Cut jobs, close factories for short term gain of the elites, but in the long term? There may be no one left to rule...

    It is not that you get smarter, you don't get more stupid. I think it has something to do with extraordinary energy demand of the brain. 50 year olds can restore their cognitive ab…

    Is Canary build safe? My version is 74.0.3726.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit)?

    Does this also mean that soon every computer will be making noise/radiating waves around 40GHz? Can someone with more depth in this area shine some light on this?

    I think it is done. There is no way China doesn't become number 1 in every way that is possible. The stupidity and shortsightedness of western companies that partly enabled this is…

    This is truly impressive. Is anybody aware of additional practical uses of GNU radio?

    See for example https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25879308 . I don't know why people are so care free about effects of nonionizing radiation. Current level of knowledge is in my …

    I was thinking about this kind of DIY short term effort to have an example of torrent functionality. Not collaborative development of a torrent library for 10 years.

    Is this possible without using any (torrent specific) library?
