Test it ASAP -- I'm an 80s/90s kid, I loved Pump Up The Volume and I did a little umm broadcasting of my own (so I love your vision) but I would have concerns that even if the larger FM stations aren't coming through there can still be enough power there (you should be able to test that though) to nix out your low-power signal.

Also:

> Stations authorized in the LPFM service will operate with effective radiated

> powers (ERP) between 1 watt (0.001 kW) and 100 watts (0.100 kW). In any case,

> the distance to the 1 mV/m (60 dBu) contour from an LPFM station or

> application will not be permitted to exceed a reference distance of 5.6 km.

Your area map seems a little big(?)

Good luck!

It's worse than that. It's ultimately a military technology. The end-game here is to use it offensively and / or defensively against other countries. Whoever establishes dominance first wins. And so you have to push adoption, so that it gets tested and can be iterated. But this isn't about making money (they are losing it like crazy!) This is end-of-the world shit and about whoever will be left standing once all the dominoes fall -- if they ever fall (let's hope they don't!)

But it's tacitly understood we need to develop this as soon as we can, as fast as we can, before those other guys do. It's a literal arms race.

I've lost over 100lbs in the past year.

* I only eat one meal a day (supper). It's usually a very large meal, very high in lean protein.

* I avoid sugars and starches of all kinds and minimize other carbs (fruit, root veg, grains).

* After eating, I do 30 minutes on the treadmill.

For a middle-aged woman (a category which finds it particularly hard to lose weight) this has worked rather well. I can eat as much meat, (non-root) veg, dairy and soy as I want and I just keep losing weight.

So no, calorie restriction isn't the 'only way'.

This study had no controls at all, and can safely be ignored.

>The participants reported not previously using noise to help them sleep or having any sleep disorders.

All this study said was that people who didn't need noise to sleep had their sleep disrupted when noise was introduced. It has absolutely no implication for people who use noise to help them sleep.

Meaningless trash.

This tells you all you need to know about OpenAI, honestly.

Personally I'd like to see the model get better at coding, I couldn't really care less if it's able to be 'creative' -- in fact i wish it wasn't. It's a waste of resources better used to _make it better at coding_.

works excellent on m2 max -- thanks! good times.

I'm glad B5 is still getting a new audience.

This article sounds very AI generated though.

I compose all sorts of music but the only music people really like (and give me money for) is pirate music.

Not pirated music. Pirate music.

Right, but that's the point -- prompting an LLM still requires 'thinking about thinking' in the Papert sense. While you can talk to it in 'natural language' that natural language still needs to be _precise_ in order to get the exact result that you want. When it fails, you need to refine your language until it doesn't. So prompts = high-level programming.

Yes, because you have your own style. You do things your own unique way. That's what makes your music your music.

While large language models don't have enough nuance for AGI, there is some promise still in multi-modal models, or models based purely on other high-bandwidth data like video. So probabilistic token-based models aren't entirely out of the running yet.

Part of the problem with LLMs in particular is ambiguity -- this is poisonous to a language model. And English in particular is full of it. So another potential that is being explored is translating everything (with proper nuance) to another language that is more precise, or by rewriting training data to eliminate any ambiguities by using more exact English.

So there are ideas and people are still at it. After all, it usually takes decades to fully exploit any new technology. I don't expect that to be any different with models.

The vast majority of schools in North America don't allow teachers or students to download and run software on school computers (let alone AI models), so I don't entirely know who the audience is for this. I suppose home users? Maybe it's different in the UK.

Also magnesium! Magnesium bisglycinate, in particular. Great stuff.

You don't need a conspiracy, you just need the right incentives (aid) and the rules (freely available). People are going to independently figure out how to game the system.

Then there's also Occam: if you're a poor nation and you'll get more foreign aid if you inflate your population, you will inflate your population, full stop.

Yes, except that China also uses its population as a military threat. It going down would take away some of the impact of that. So it always needs to go up, to reinforce it.

Wisdom comes from knowing what you don't know.

In many countries (Canada included) if you pass through security into the international terminal, you have to 're-enter the country' back through customs and immigration if you don't get on your flight.

'Answer in the manner of a German army surgeon'

I have super-bad genetics. Not so bad that I have an entirely terrible life, but bad enough that I wouldn't wish them on a child. I know they would hate me, since I am aware of how bad my genetics are.

People who have children think having children is the right choice, generally. They have to, to find meaning in all of the work of having and raising a child. That's understandable. But it is by no means the right choice for everyone.

I had a lousy childhood -- not just because of my genetics. There's no license, no mandatory training for having a child. You can just have one. Many parents are not qualified, by any measure. This keeps therapists well-employed.

Only have a child if you would like to be that child. Only have a child if you feel competent, and able, and certain that when they are an adult they will not resent you -- yes, it's natural to have some resentment for your parents, but this is not the sort of resentment I am talking about.

Do not UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES have a child if you're just looking for 'legacy'. Write a book. Give to charity. But this is a terrible reason to have a child! Don't.

On-premming your Internet services just seems like an exercise in self-flagellation.

Unless you have a heavy-duty pipe to your prem you're just risking all kinds of headaches, and you're going to have to put your stuff behind Cloudflare anyway and if you're doing that why not use a VPS?

It's just not practical for someone to run a little blog or app that way.

The GenAI is also better at analyzing telemetry, designing features and prioritizing issues than a human product manager.

Nobody is really safe.

Honestly middle management is going to go extinct before the engineers do
