So one of my kids complains about mouth breathers in their class playing super high pitched “mosquito” sounds in class because the teacher can’t hear it but the kids can. So I made a detector. Standalone JS. PWA for offline. Works on phones or pcs, zero tracking and MIT open.

Yes, I used AI. I have written my share of FFTs in embedded C but I draw the line at JavaScript.

It is not an extreme position to want to be able to think for yourself, to write by just typing words in, to learn things from other people or to make art with your hands.

Please, please stop supporting gen AI companies. It’s not worth it. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/pentagon-ai-claude-bombing-elementary-school

Every Australian knows the rule: if a tradie says "she'll be right" it means one of two things. Either everything is genuinely fine, or your house is about to fall down and he's already in his ute driving away. There is no middle ground.

Men (particularly, as responses are needed) of my acquaintance, but frankly anyone: the daughter of a colleague of mine is studying gender and stereotypes for a personal interest project for her Year 12 studies and needs responses to a short (it took me about 15 minutes) survey on crime and gender (particularly masculine) stereotypes.

With her permission, I am posting the link (Google Form). If you choose to respond, I encourage you to treat it with the seriousness it deserves. She's clearly doing something interesting here and might learn some very big things.
