Building https://www.townhall-tracker.ca to help me and other Canadians keep tabs on their city council.

I moved to a new city 4 years ago and didn't even realize a municipal election was happening until a councillor knocked on my door.

I am building townhall-tracker to prevent this and shape the decisions that most affect my day-to-day

Not to get too deep in the underwater weeds here but sound propagation underwater is not omnidirectional like how sound propagates above water. And I’m not sure how true that is either

All that to say, I certainly understand the concern. But I would personally have to see evidence of harm

For underwater acoustic systems there is a well understood and effective marine mammal mitigation process that’s followed. Basically, slowly stepping up in power. Not sure if they’re employing that here but if it involves NATO, I would expect that’s being employed

This is very cool! I'm trying to do something technically similar by using LLMs to summarize the meeting transcript from youtube (https://parths-newsletter-78dbcb.beehiiv.com/).

Right now I'm doing this manually by copy/pasting into ChatGPT but I want to automate this aspect. I'm not very technical so any guidance you could provide would be helpful :)

Another interesting point about this is that he talks about how it’s mathematically probable that the clinical trial has the power of the larger sample size

Very cool idea and I think there’s a thread worth pulling here.

The CEO of Unlearn AI on this podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/whats-your-problem/id1...) talked about using AI to simulate a larger sample size for clinical trials which is similar to what you are doing here

Looking forward to seeing where this goes :)
