    Interesting topic, but the article is devoid of numbers and implications to water payers rates.

    I remember when I was in college reading about some chemistry grad student getting busted for making mdma in the lab. The oversight may be more relaxed than necessary.

    I've been playing with this for the last few hours. Hosting it locally, and have Claude Opus 5 connected to it, building some test parts. Impressive for a first release.

    And I'm pointing out that there are people with access to all of the required equipment today, who are experiencing a schizophrenic break... biology grad students.

    The Colorado movie shooter was a Phd student. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Holmes_(mass_murderer) Someone like him would have access to the "properly stocked lab". That's th…

    And then their employees were removed from the country, right? Right?

    As much as people may dislike Regan, his goal for reducing taxes on the wealthy was based upon the laffer curve. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laffer_curve The hypothesis is that l…

    An alternative approach would be health care for all - with the caveat that there is NO private pay option. The unfortunate situation is that that ultra wealthy have greater influe…

    After Cambridge Analytica, my "intelligent" friends basically abandoned the platform, while my distant conspiracy inclined uncles started posting baseless slop.

    You can use it to find anomalies in data sets. I'd read somewhere that Starbucks coffee prices stick out on financial audits using benfords law, because they're over represented. I…

    I'd recommend allowing 2 digit exploration. I've used it in the past when analyzing hard drive failure logical block addresses.

    Can you offer this in a more traditional Amazon or Apple ebook store?

    I recently made a phone call from the US to UK. I was horrified to find that my unlimited calling didn't apply to that international route. Really?!? Countries should be fighting t…

    Can someone use this on Elon's "my heart goes out to you" video, and compare it to... similar gestures. Would be interested to see exactly how close it is.

    Can you reduce the lower limit? I think my piano is tuned to just under that lower frequency and thus those fundamentals aren't showing up.

    I've been reading Peter Thiel's Zero to One book, and read about his Christianity along with his opposition to charity, which seems like a paradox. I'm curious if he would have obj…

    Having worked at Amex and other huge banks, let me assure you that there's much worse than Amex. Amex's Fraud analytics team was good. Risk was good. Ben's team is good.

    I just tried a watermelon app called MelonAid. It predicted my melon was ripe to overripe. Cutting it up, my son seems to agree with the assessment.

    Side note, I was playing with your app on my piano, checking each key. I noticed that the lowest keys didn't actually have the lowest values in your app. Maybe I'm misunderstanding…

    There apparently are a bunch of watermelon ripeness checker apps. None get great reviews. Maybe you can get it to work. I only learned about this phenomenon while walking through C…

    Why does it only go down to 32.70 Hz? I just learned that watermelon ripeness can be determined by the FFT of 17Hz. Tried thumping my phone on th watermelon with your app. No luck.…
