    Music Who is your favorite Jazz musician and what is your favorite song?

    Quite the band this. Never heard Mr. Mintzer before. Once JP went nuts it was all over.

    Music Cover songs versus the original track, which ones are better?

    A worthy successor to The Fifth Dimension. It is my belief that The Philippines has the greatest density of fine singers of any nation. I just learned that The Fifth Dimension met at a beauty pagent. I used to have a collection of big band versions of Age of Aquarius. That's what was...

    Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?

    Many fake Yanis V. videos on YouTube. Yanis himself was fooled by one of them. "I thought it was me" until he noticed it was wearing the wrong shirt, something no one else would know.

    Graduate Expected numbers of cards of a last color remaining

    Chance of one or more cards of same color = .35^1 + .25^1 + .40^1 = 1 Chance of two cards or more cards of same color = .35^2 + .25^2 + .40^2 etc. The answer is the sum over n from 1 to 35 of .35^n + sum over n from 1 to 25 of .25^n + sum over n from 1 to 40 of .40^n

    Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?

    If they believe they can get away with it, most people just do whatever they feel like doing. Then they come up with the weirdest "reasons."

    Music Today's Fusion Music: T Square, Cassiopeia, Rei & Kanade Sato

    My cousin Paul Harris was on one of those Shrapnel records. Once he showed me a tabloid from the UK full of rave reviews of him and his band. He had pretty much given up on music at that point and was completely uninterested. I have another cousin Tom Powers who was the same but also could...

    Physics for hobby

    I explore neutron stars, which seem a lot more interesting than the more popular black holes. Neutron stars are not part of the standard physics curriculum. I don't have any theories or understand the math, I just enjoy the extreme exoticism of this environment.

    Tenor Sax

    I say the tenor saxophone is the most versatile and expressive instrument. Here's Miku Yonezawa going full mid-period Coltrane. Hardly anyone plays this style because it's both unpopular and very hard to do. Usually she tones it down for the audience but not here. More orthodox is Lenny...
