Thanks for clarifying and your understanding of why I continued to respond to an obvious troll I have a feeling Castle and some of the site mods had a large number of items in their Inbox this morning. One easy way to reduce gaps in site mod availability would be to take on an additional mod...- bfreedma

You’re welcome. It’s hard to convey to anyone who didn’t follow last nights posts how bad that thread got, so I understand why you were disappointed your content got caught up in the thread deletion.- bfreedma

It was, by a large margin, the worst poster and thread I’ve ever encountered on Head-Fi. The first 10 posts were fairly normal trolling. After that, the OP lost his mind and posted zero content related to audio. The next 100 were on the topics I listed. Edit: The OP is now ranting on the...- bfreedma

Without quoting the original post, it’s impossible to tell what you’re responding to. You really think the thread deleted last night was the run of mill trolling we typically see? Were there previous threads that included nazis, gender bigotry, religion and ethnicity? If so, I must have...- bfreedma

I’m lost - we’re supposed to be nice to a troll who dives into Nazis, bigotry, personal attacks and religion? Posters in sound science tend to get firm responses based on their initiation of insults. I’m not in favor of coddling obvious trolls, though I do think most of them are best ignored...- bfreedma

Having been part of a moderator group on another platform, it really doesn’t work. Too many back channel conversations and disagreements about what and who can stay or go leading to some hard feelings amongst the moderators. Yesterday’s thread was the first time in my 12 years here that a...- bfreedma

As someone who had a lot of posts in yesterday’s thread, I’m glad you deleted it. The OP’s post content was reprehensible and there really wasn’t anything worth preserving. After the first 10 or so posts, there was zero content regarding audio.- bfreedma

Low Pass freq for crossover for LSR305 for adding subs
80hz is is where bass loses its directionality so that’s generally where subs are crossed over. Location flexibility with a sub also provides options to address room modes. The location of your main speakers may not be ideal for bass reproduction. Subs are able to produce more bass that the...- bfreedma

Hope this help you to explain Hi-Res music to your CD friends
Yup. In the early days, they exclusively did Metallica covers but have broadened out since then.- bfreedma

And Apocalyptica. 4 cellists playing Metallica sounds odd but somehow, it really works.- bfreedma

You either didn’t read my response or didn’t understand it. I tried having a rational conversation with you, but clearly, that isn’t possible, so I won’t continue to try,- bfreedma

The bias in the question was intentional. The intent was to demonstrate the bias of the LLM by attempting to have the ML engine response limited to audio science and avoid marketing material. The LLM/ML engine was unable to remove the subjective viewpoint from its response.- bfreedma

I can’t pass that test either. My ego thinks I should be able to, but my brain just won’t cooperate. I’m clearly just guessing.- bfreedma

Good question about 3.5 vs. 4.0 Yes, GPT4 is better than GPT3.5 when used by ChatGPT. Microsoft copilot uses a similar architecture to ChatGPT, but does not utilize as full an implementation as ChatGPT and is also very early in its initial public release. I don’t think one could definitively...- bfreedma

I did read it for myself, apparently before you did. Your original post was simply 56%=Pass, with no reference to test sample count. I even referenced the 10 test, 80% Pass from the link. Thanks for catching up though. Without deep diving into the basics of statistical analysis, any single...- bfreedma
