    I loved Nova, but a couple of years ago, I found AIO, and it just blew nova out of the water for me. I look around to see if anything better comes along, but so far, I've not seen anything that gets close to AIO for me. It is so customizable, everything on one vertical scrollable screen, email, notifications, calendar, apps, weather. I absolutely love it!

  • Interspecies Communication: Talking to Your Dog Will Soon Be a Possibility
  • Haggunenons Haggunenons Now 100%

    I think most people would be really surprised by what has already been uncovered. For example, prairie dogs have had their communication decoded to the point where we can identify adjectives, nouns, and verbs. We can tell if a prairie dog is seeing a person in a red shirt or a person in a white shirt.

  • Scientists figure out the elephant word for "let's go"
  • Haggunenons Haggunenons Now 100%

    That's interesting, I was always taught that the hearing range of humans was 20hz-20kHz. Is it more of a body vibration or actually hearing at 10hz?

    I don't think an audio file would do much good unless you are an elephant or a similarly sized(with. Few exceptions) animal. It's infrasonic, so the only way to hear it would be to shift it up to our hearing range which would be a different sound. Elephants do make sounds we can hear, of course, but a lot of their communication is super long distance, which is really only realisticly doable with extremely low sounds.

  • How Your Brain Knows if a Sound Is Music or Speech
  • Haggunenons Haggunenons Now 100%

    Maybe you would enjoy this radiolab podcast if you haven't heard it before.

    We'll kick off the chase with Diana Deutsch, a professor specializing in the psychology of music, who could extract song out even the most monotonous of drones. (Think Ben Stein in Ferris Bueller. Bueller ... Bueller ...)

    For those of us who have trouble staying in tune when we sing, Deutsch has some exciting news—the problem might not be your ears, but your language. She tells us about tone languages such as Mandarin and Vietnamese which rely on pitch to convey the meaning of a word. Turns out, speakers of tone languages are exponentially more inclined to have absolute—aka 'perfect'—pitch. And, nope, English isn't one of them.

    This looks neat! I don't remember it at all, Thanks!

    Oh yeah! These things are great. We've had a few posts in here about them. I know some people debate whether or not the dogs really understand what they are doing. Sometimes people will say that they are just filming so much and sharing the most impressive videos. I don't know though, there are certainly some really convincing ones.

    I wonder if anyone is working on any sort of AI tutor for dogs with this idea.

    Yeah, it has been relatively untouched even by fiction. Star Trek IV has some in it. The series Made For Love as well, but not in a very series way. I'd love to know of more. Oh, the children's movie UP has those headsets for talking dogs.

    Totally not due to science or anything, but the comedy series Wilfred with Elijah Wood is fantastic and certainly involves human-animal conversation.

    Yeah, for sure, there is always something to be learning. I've just left my computer for a month to try to decompress some. I've taken up card magic while away from it and have really been enjoying it. Even with no computer, I'm still so often on my phone, just tending more towards listening to things.

    I've not been paying as much attention to the animal world as I was last year and the beginning of this year. For a while, I was making sure I read and shared at least one article or paper a day.

    Seriously!! My reading list's growth is badly outpacing my reading speed. I don't see this problem going away either. It's the same with podcasts, I download at least 5x more podcasts than what actually get around to listening to. I'm looking forward to a good AI audio podcast summary tool.

    Yeah, An Immense World is definitely a great one. It's still one of the best I've read in the last couple of years. I'd go for it over How To Speak Whale just for its well roundedness, it really made me think differently about the various ways different species may be experiencing the world.

    Haggunenons

    Whereas most races are content to evolve slowly and carefully over thousands of generations, discarding a prehensile toe here, nervously hazarding another nostril there, the Haggunenons would have done for Charles Darwin what a squadron of Arcturan Stunt Apples would have done for Sir Isaac Newton.
