Opened comments to post this. There is a lot of inharmonic stuff around. Even piano strings are audibly inharmonic, more so in vertical piano than in grand piano, and a lot of world's beauty is hidden there.

Do you host your own AI?
Technically, TTS/STT are mostly MLs; I'm pretty sure many people run these. I have a setup but I'm better with buttons that with spoken words, and I listen to ambient sounds or music. I think some day I'll make voice assistant for talking to while driving, but that's not a trivial task hardware-wise, even if I used cloud LLM layer, which I won't. Putting AI on baremetal sounds like an interesting project.
I have a homemade "local agent" that can actually "code" somewhat, I use it just to figure out how this thing works on the inside practically. Mostly useless otherwise (also I have GPU that's older than AI, so it's kind of fun technical task to run this stuff on pure RAM+swap). Feels like the whole hype is greatly overrated, but I appreciate a chance to learn something new anyway.

PDRC Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling taking off ?
Reply in thread
I'd say, all the "remaining" areas - like edges, cracks, tiling imperfections - could be... just, you know, painted white high reflectance paint that'll be soon covered in dust anyway? This whole technology looks like a few % optimization over widespread and long adopted "white buildings are cooler in hot environment" thing for hype and whitewashing. Sure it's worth doing in punk DIY setups.
Not that I'd adopt that, I still live in cold climate, even with all the warming, I'm going to burn black all non-greenable and non-solarable surfaces black to get some extra heat energy locally.

It's official: Finland approves alcohol home deliveries, Alko outlets open on Sundays
Alko is overpriced, has extremely limited selection and most stuff is of very low quality, and it actively kills off all local small manufacturers. We have 2 wineries in my town, neither got into Alko. They only exist to feed government funds and corruption now (top management just happens to get bonuses, not even mentioning total lack of monitoring of bribes from industry), who cares about healthcare of population when people can import alcohol through EU, cook it at home, and until recently just smuggle extremely poisonous stuff from Russia (I know people who did it repeatedly well after the border was "closed").

Machine go brrrrrrr
I remember my senior advisor student tellimg me a story how she went to industrial lab internship in a hospital with these things.
They had their own little collider there. They made synthetic radioactive cocaine to study something in the brain.
They didn't measure the drug dosage, they just filled the syringe and waited holding it near a radiation counter for radiation to drop to desired level.
Once she spilled something and dipped her hand in it. She was told to hold a hand away rfom the body for a day - on a train ride home, in shower, in sleep - to protect internal organs. Next day, radiation was gone, down to natural level.
These things are amazing.

That's... a bad underestimation. And weighted by what manner of sex, it's closer to 99.9999% maybe.
Yet still not porn.
Best web comic IMO.

Actually it's the other way round: mostly nigredo in alchemy, as it's by far largest part, and in physics he literally invented the rainbow.

Kiddo is going to remember this forever
My grandpa (electrician) was telling me about electrons. I was so fascinated with things like current not being speed, and magnetic force, and batteries. I think I've learned now everything there is to learn about electrons - electronics, electrochemistry, magnetooptics, electron microscopy, positron tomography, xray generation, power generation, electrites, etc, etc.
Still unemployed lol.

Mint
Tried planting mint for several years in a row - seeds, transplants, nursery plants (yes those exist). All died. Finland is a harsh place.
