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…

> There is no intent I'm not an ML engineer - is there an accepted definition of "intent" that you're using here? To me, it seems as though these GPT models show something akin to …

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 t…

Not GPT-5 trying to deceive us about how deceptive it is?

What's stopping you?

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 …

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 …

Removing plastics from my apartment has made it come to life The biggest change was giving all of my plants real planters. They are so much happier now :)

> what adverse effects are there that are worse than FPTP. * The results of close elections become basically random (due to results swinging wildly depending on the order in which …

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 w…

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 …

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 wh…

> That’s why I ended up going with e-bikes and escooters. I think the nature of the motion lends itself to be inherently safer. Mechanical brakes are nice.

what is this now, a quadruple negative? It is untrue that they have no idea if the "solutions" we try won't lead to worse outcomes It is true that they have some idea that the "sol…

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 stab…

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, webcam…

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…

I learned about Flanderization [0] on HN recently and was surprised to read that Rick and Morty is a show that consciously tries to avoid it. Honestly, I think they’ve done a prett…

What kind of backpack do you have?

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…

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…

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 FA…

Right. It must be weighting repos with more stars more heavily in this case, right?
