Or... is that the game, I should be able to ID the notes irrespective of octave?

The one at TIA is much sharper, altho still some moire.
Interesting that at wholeearth.info the earliest they show is the 1970 issue. But very sharp, photographed in color rather than a monochrome scan.
In short, as a tool for an art director or illustrator trying to avoid the expense of a model or a photo shoot, it's fuckin' useless.
I guess I can see how a person might want to promote some old book whose present-day relevance is being overlooked, but the utility of actually printing hardcopy seems minimal.

It's pretty good stuff. She builds a devastating case very methodically, showing how the identical glowing review text is posted to yelp, to FB, and to Google, by different users -- and then traces other reviews posted by those same user ids showing how they are plagiarizing Tripadvisor posts.
> We also demonstrate ByteFormer's ability to perform inference with a hypothetical privacy-preserving camera which avoids forming full images by consistently masking 90% of pixel channels, while still achieving 71.35% accuracy on ImageNet.
So the way this algorithm smooshes the matrices is "privacy-preserving" because it doesn't actually take in all the bytes. Just some of them. So it is not an invasion of your privacy, if your phone checks all your stored photos for child pornography, because it never actually _looks_ at the images. It just _peeks_ at a bit of them.
They should have named the system "Blindsight"[1].
Apple has a serious corporate concern about proposed legal requirements to detect and report child porno[2], while other legal requirements try to protect user privacy. This appears to be an attempt to say, "We can detect your CP image storage without ever actually looking at your stored images."

Everything about travel to Mars and medical applications is contained in the final sentence of the discussion section,
> UIH may unlock applications ranging from new medical treatments to long-duration human spaceflight.
From that sentence the livescience reporter spun out a couple thousand words of speculation.

OTOH when I asked it to write a specific piece of PyQt6 code it botched it in several ways -- as did chatGPT4, to be fair. That's a niche area in which their training sets are probably deficient.

Bye bye
Now, to add a new slide... um how? Add new slide isn't on the popup menu.
Ah, it's command-return (I'm on a Mac)

Health maintenance was one; somebody else in this thread has already commented on married men living longer. It works both ways, too. Each partner keeps tabs on the other, notices problems, encourages them to stick to health resolutions, etc. Plus you both are much less likely to forget things or miss appointments, because the other one is there to say, "Didn't you say..." or "Weren't you going to...?" and so on.
There were other, more subtle but still powerful effects. In general, I and my wife, as a couple, were a bolder, smarter, more adventurous "person" than either of us was alone.
So my advice to Rosenstock would be to seek another dedicated introvert. Of course it's hard to get their attention...

"Introversion is the state of primarily obtaining gratification from one's own mental life". There is a considerable popular literature on the benefits and drawbacks of being introverted.
