Preliminary analyses suggest the reservoir, which sits beneath the seafloor and appears to stretch from offshore New Jersey as far north as Maine, was locked in place under frigid conditions around 20,000 years ago, hinting that it formed in the last glacial period due, partly, to thick ice sheets. https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/rivers-oceans/enormous-freshwater-reservoir-discovered-off-the-east-coast-may-be-20-000-years-old-and-big-enough-to-supply-nyc-for-800-years

An expedition off the coast of Massachusetts has confirmed the existence of a freshwater reservoir beneath the seafloor. Now, scientists are starting to understand when and how it formed.
The renowned researcher was reticent. “Usually we don’t support direct-to-consumer type DNA sequencing because while generating data for genomics is relatively easy for us, interrogating that data is really hard and challenging,’’ he said. “But Paul said, ‘No worries, I’m a data analyst and I’ll figure this out with the help of ChatGPT’.” https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/technology/tech-boss-uses-ai-and-chatgpt-to-create-cancer-vaccine-for-his-dying-dog/news-story/292a21bcbe93efa17810bfcfcdfadbf7

Hendrix’s mission was to reshape both the electric guitar’s envelope and its tone until it could feel like a human voice. He tackled the guitar’s constraints by augmenting it. His solution was essentially a modular analog signal chain driven not by knobs but by hands, feet, gain staging, and physical movement in a feedback field. https://spectrum.ieee.org/jimi-hendrix-systems-engineer?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
