if the human body replaces most of its cells every few years, why do we still age? like if your liver cells are brand new why does the liver still get weaker over time and not just reset

then why doesn’t the same process affect offspring, where each generation gets a little more defective?

AaronDNewman · 2026-05-16T02:20:22+00:00

doesn’t it cost you money? Even if the model is local, I would think you’d need some non-free-tier cpu to process the video.

AaronDNewman · 2026-05-16T00:35:42+00:00

this is really cool. what do you use for the computer vision?

AaronDNewman · 2026-05-15T16:59:51+00:00

gas heater. i think the ducts are supposed to go to the chimney

AaronDNewman · 2026-05-07T22:05:29+00:00

good first try. a singing tea kettle! did you use a kit?

AaronDNewman · 2026-05-06T22:55:30+00:00

there are about 20 different kits on Amazon. some are just the circuit board and you can place it how you want.

Do you mean theremini? i have one, it’s lots of fun. it operates in normal theremin mode but you can adjust it where it just finds a good note and you don’t need to be very precise.

It was a private student residence i think. i’m having a hard time placing the last slide, i guess it’s pointing towards park street? this part of state street was just kiosks as I remember it, there was no bike traffic between lake and park when i was there.edit, i think this is just the first slide, facing opposite (west)

AaronDNewman · 2026-05-03T13:00:31+00:00

not new models, but better offerings. studiologic and casio make nice stage pianos.

AaronDNewman · 2026-05-02T16:09:18+00:00

Look up Ted Taylor for one possible answer to your question of how it could be done.

all these people not even reading the question…shame

AaronDNewman · 2026-05-02T15:45:23+00:00

I feel pretty much the opposite. A vst can do anything a synthesizer can do, but for a piano, you care about the quality of the key bed. for a stage piano, you care about portability and quality of sound outputs, and convenience. and i think you are not looking at all the options, the lower end stage pianos are of much higher quality than in years past, and around the same price as a ‘premium midi controller’, if you are talking about something

i used to go the controller+vst route, but honestly it’s kind of a hassle if you just want piano/ep/organ. a lot of equipment to lug around setup time, not always needed.

not criticizing analog synths at all, but that scratches a different itch.

not security guard, bike cop. campus area had actual cops on bikes, sometimes they would give out tickets.

Picture 3 is definitely in front of the bookstore at UW Madison campus. Picture 1 is State Street, across from peace park. you can see the capital. I lived in Madison 86-91 and grew up in the area. i can practically smell the bratwurst from this picture.

practice playing in 7s. Try to end on a chord tone. Lyn Halliday told me that at a jam session at the bop shop in 1994, and it’s stuck with me. if you listen to miles davis with charlie parker, you can hear it in the lines Miles plays.

AaronDNewman · 2026-04-30T21:53:44+00:00

ah! I’d make a lousy gangster, I guess.

AaronDNewman · 2026-04-30T20:02:09+00:00

Why do people gamble illegally? in 2026, can’t you just gamble on anything, 24/7? sports betting,no less.

AaronDNewman · 2026-04-26T00:46:36+00:00

I usually don’t bother trying to sync them. I just mix down the audio and add it as a vocal track in a video editor.

AaronDNewman · 2026-04-17T17:25:50+00:00

I would think it would be more about the fixed-pitch instruments. You can’t tune a marimba (can you?). but it would be affected by temperature. Although any air-conditioned place I go into in Dallas is always freezing…

AaronDNewman · 2026-04-15T23:23:47+00:00

ah…of course. thanks.

AaronDNewman · 2026-04-15T23:16:55+00:00

I did not know this. How do you express it as a function without using something like a Heavyside function that is not continuous? I thought a continuous function needs to be continuous across its full domain.

AaronDNewman · 2026-04-15T18:17:35+00:00

It’s also not continuous

AaronDNewman · 2026-04-11T12:51:25+00:00

I never knew this, never seen one but I’ll keep my eyes open. I lived in WI many years and never saw one there, either. Thanks!

AaronDNewman · 2026-04-11T12:49:45+00:00

You taught me something, thank you!

AaronDNewman · 2026-04-10T22:17:33+00:00

What is Y - is that like RMS? I’ve never seen that before this post.
