There is a lot of desire for an amazing cup of coffee, and this desire pays for a LOT of ritual and effort, which is reflected in the kinds of information you can find out there for making coffee well.

If you’re okay with “just” a really good cup of coffee and your real desire is consistency with a strong secondary criterion for efficiency, there’s less information out there (probably because this type of person has less desire to make blog posts about their “just” really decent coffee).

The process for this efficient, consistent, “just” really good coffee is pretty simple, though.

The efficiency and consistency criteria require brewed, not espresso (espresso requires expensive equipment just to get started, and requires relatively high effort for consistency - that’s what you pay a good barista for).

The quality criterion requires you to “grind to order”, as ground coffee oxidizes quickly and that tastes bad - buy whole roasted beans that you like the taste of in small airtight bags (whole coffee beans are still slightly perishable).

The consistency criterion requires a consistent grind, which means a high quality grinder, specifically the “burr set”. With hand grinders you are paying for just the burr set, while electric grinders you are paying for other things too, so pick a good hand grinder (James Hoffman has extensive reviews of hand grinders and his style is likely very palatable for tech people). This is the only part you should invest in research.

The consistency criterion also requires a robust brewing process without too many pitfalls or rituals, which is immersion brewing. A Haribo Switch or any French press is the answer here. You should mis-use the French press, though: do not plunge, just let it steep and settle, then bring the strainer down to just above the liquid and gently pour out most of the liquid.

Doing it this way means you don’t have to worry about water temperature, blooming, puck prep, channelling, clogging, or any other of the myriad ways in which a cup of coffee might go awry.
Just grab trained employees is a strategy that only works because most employers are shit. You think you have an airtight mathematical argument. People aren't numbers.

Everyone is both looking to grab other firms already trained employees and train their own.

Exclusively using the former strategy is only a useful strategy in markets full of shitty employers. Functional good employers will lose no more on average to poaching than they gain from it.
No one is stopping in DC in the morning because most jobs there are very particular about employees being on time. It would have been a better experiment to start busikonh around 5pm instead.
Odd. We got taught how to use either teco or sos on tops-10 and it was in our first term (british university term based not semester based) in 1979.

They taught command scripting and code management later.

Debugging was a black art.

I really like the idea behind this. And the first impressions for me were that I loved it.

It has a few issues but should be fixable:

- Lofi needs to keep playing more than one song. I've read elsewhere, and I agree, that when the music becomes recognizable, it doesn't have the same effect in terms of helping to maintain focus.

- Loop of playlist for background noises shouldn't fade out/in before replaying

- The To Do list when entering, it doesn't wrap at all. And once it's entered, it doesn't wrap based on words so a word is split in two which is awkward.

These feel like they should be easy to fix though.

I'm keeping it bookmarked and will look for the updates. Good luck!
Demand for milk and eggs is definitely elastic. And we're seeing inflation in other goods that aren't staples as well.
No. We haven't. Any reasonable definition of understanding includes knowing what's real and what isn't. We've created software that does a great job of simulating responses. The software is unable to "know" anything, let alone that it's assertion that the current year is 2022 is false. It would be possible to coerce ChatGPT into generating the assertion that 2 + 2 = 5 and it would follow the simulation of the argument that this was so, generating text along the way that seems to brim with confidence.

The ability to generate text from statistical models of text is not understanding. That we can fool vision systems with decals is because those vision systems cannot bring a model of the world to bear on the interpretation of the statistical matches coming in through the detectors.

Because I need my morning cup of coffee before I can perform any elaborate ritual to create the perfect cup, I stick to immersion and my French press. Very satisfying coffee every morning. If I want something amazing, there’s about a dozen coffee shops I could visit that can truly nail that last few percent I can’t/won’t.
It takes as low as 100gr of coffee (could be less depending of the batch) to set you back a few thousands USD.
That’s OK, thank you for your dv. I don’t expect all users to have insight into their conditions. Like I said, there’s straterra, which is a non-amphetamine alternative and effective. But there’s some barriers. Initial constipation is a problem to do tolerance of the GI tract to amphetamine. Another barrier is the loss of “adderolling” which users enjoy.

Thats 190.4-194℉ for those more familiar with old degrees.
It's an optics problem. Most of the scattering when looking down is near the objects because that's where the turbulence and air density. Looking sideways has to go through all of that - it's dense, uniform, and turbulent in comparison to the atmosphere above a point.

Another way to reframe this is that you would get a higher resolution looking at an object 100 miles down from space then you'd get looking at an equivalent object 100 miles up.

(Keyhole satellites are at 200 miles.)

Of course, knowing when satellites are above you is a bit easier to know and prepare for (the governments usually know where sophisticated adversarial satellites are). The smaller satellites I think are quite a bit higher - 300 miles - so the balloon can probably beat them provided it can get with 100 miles (even though there's a lot of those).
What I am looking for is actually something much simpler. I have a laptop and a desktop. I want to click a button to switch between them for the same set of monitors and USB-connected devices.

The USB-connected devices is ok since I can use a USB switcher. But I can't figure out how to switch my monitors' input sources without manually using their OSD and control buttons.
I was working in retail, which means we were trying to forecast human behavior—how much of a given item people would want to buy at some time—but we only cared about that behavior in aggregate, not at the level of individual people. That definitely makes it qualitatively different to the sorts of prediction and optimization that the paper talks about.
Elon had every programmer literally print out their code on paper. Occom's razer suggests that he just didn't know what Slack was and thought it wasn't important.
Oh, I agree that that's what corporations should be doing -- I just trust my government to give them laws and regulations to follow, to steer the lumbering economic engine to the goals that we as society value. (I also tend to think that companies that people think are good tend to last and have broad social support, so doing good does have merits even to bloodthirsty capitalists).

If companies break those laws or regulations, the penalties should be extremely steep (I imagine we probably agree on this bit, but let me know if not).
Too much fuss for making a lot of coffee per day . . . I'm happy with my $30 electric grinder and $220 SCAA-certified drip machine.

That’s too much fuss too. I’m happy with my $15 hand grinder and a $10 Turkish coffee pot.

Let's get down to brass tacks. What recipe do you use? [1]

Aeropress is also my favourite method. It's easy to experiment with the main variables than most other devices - water temperature, grind size, immersion time, coffee/water ratio. I find better than the French press - and I think the main factor is that you add some pressure to the process. Aeropress is also easier to clean.

Many people like Aeropress for their immersion brews. That's what I use for my "just good" cup of coffee
> Intrest rate hikes also slow down business investment which makes supply less responsive.

That's kind of a simplification. Interest rates affect business investment. But many kinds of business investments are just "business" for other companies. E.g. when TSMC invests in building a new chip fab, they buy EUV systems from ASML. ASML uses that money to pay their suppliers and employees, etc. Also, interest rates affect real estate prices, which affects real estate development, which is a big source of employment. Government debt is also more expensive, so high interest rates also apply downward pressure on government spending.

I agree that there's too much market consolidation, and that isn't impacted much by interest rates.
>But spend like $800-$1600 on a nice grinder and espresso machine

The issue with this pricing model is that it is entirely driven by lack of scale. Both grinders and espresso machines are well understood and pretty old tech. Sure, there are improvements, but I doubt most people can tell them apart in double blind tests from equipment that is 50 years old. Due to this lack of scale, coffee stuff gets into 1-2k territory even at the beginner level, unlike most other household appliances that are in the hundreds territory.

The only positive development I've seen here is that grinders from China (like df64) have become good and cheap-ish.
"When inflation is actually driven by consumers having too much money, fine, go for it."

Except that interest rates don't really affect that either [0]

Inflation is always, everywhere, a lack of competition problem.

Firms will charge what they can for their output. Inflation is causes by people paying that price because there isn't another alternative in the market, and 'no deal' isn't an option.

This is great. If I ever become a tech billionaire (pffff), MRI availability would be a thing I'd champion.

I had to have imaging done last year and while the attending physician stated that they would have like to give me an MRI, they didn't have one. Only a CAT scan machine.

While medically useful in some cases (more useful in non-soft tissue than soft tissue), they're often used more than they should be because of the availability vs an MRI. I assume availability correlates with cost.

It would be great for patients to be able to avoid ionizing radiation and receive the proper imagery to assist in their diagnosis.
Rittenhouse or Old Overholt
Yes and no. Information theoretically, tokens are pretty well compressed, and you can't get another 6x losslessly.

Moreover, anything even kind of looking like a hash table in the input/output space is ruled out by the observed facts that the models can extremely respond frequently to samples crafted to not be in the training set and that it takes into account many long-range dependencies (i.e., the hash table would have to be exponentially larger than it is to match the model's performance).

That said, they are just statistical party tricks. The magic happens because the lookup tables are in a latent space. That's why you can drop in garbage like "uberworldchefinatormichelingodfoodpleasureorgasmmaestro" when asking for recipes and food recommendations and get an experience planets apart from queries excluding the nonsense phrases. The model is just pulling together some token associations, and throwing in the right tokens can take advantage of those in situations where a thinking person would barely be able to parse what you're asking.

Your question feels like it has a motive though. What are you really asking?

As far as cryptography is concerned, I think one of the best options these days is to teach the libsodium API. It's very rationally structured and well documented, and also available on every platform and in every language. Most importantly of all, there's nothing in there that you shouldn't use, which is one of the biggest problems with real world cryptography.
but is the nda worth it?
It sounds like you want to learn and get a deep understanding of topics. I find books are much better than online articles.

The incentives are different. Click based revenues tend to drive towards interesting things to click on that are easy to digest. Book sales are different, people often buy books based on other people's opinions. So the books need to be of better quality.

It would be incredible, but incredibly awful.

Also, a series is going to have a (set of) formula, but what makes an episode good is if it deviates from that formula.
Not true, you can also (selectively) increase taxes to take out excessive money supply.

Me too, after 18 years!

A decade ago I decided that I should probably learn the idiomatic way to do things and went through different learn-to-vim tutorials but none of it ever stuck. I finally decided that the way I use vim is the way I use vim, and when I can’t figure out how to do something and can’t do it with another tool, I’ll learn a little more which may or may not be retained.

There’s a mountain of things vim can do and adding plugins on top of that makes it a never ending climb that I’m happy to climb as I need too.

That doesn’t really answer your question, except to say, me too, and that I’ve just let it go. (And vim is compete’s with a web browser as the program I spend the most time in).
More like people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

They should prioritize prosecuting other parts of the government for known offenses. Then when those high level officials are serving long prison sentences they can take the same action against private entities without looking like hypocrites.

What vim can do that emacs often is a little too slow for and IDE:s can't is to have finished even quite complicated incisions and changes to your text before you've become conscious that you asked it to do the thing.

This means it can help keep out intrusions about editor maneuvering from your mind at work.

Some people see no value to this and fill their vim bundle with plugins that slow everything down a lot, but some of us really enjoy just surfing the high source and watching our thinking materialise on the screen seemingly effortlessly and immediately.

I use IntelliJ all day every day too, but it's mainly for admin and control stuff and certain types of refactors it can handle better. It's to my code editing as gitk is to my version control. It's where I run the tests, all the plugins, can get docs prerendered, things like that.

It's not where I can quickly navigate the code base, jumping immediately from file to file as fast as a fuzzy hint can get me, and then within the file as fast as Space+string can get me. You might have a keyboard layout with a forward slash easily available, mine doesn't so in normal mode space is /. Navigating in vim can be hjkl w b and so on, sure. But it can also be search. Just say the place and poof, you're there. It's wrong but very similar to where you want to go? n for next or try to name a new place.

This doesn't work in IntelliJ and it's a little off in emacs. I mean you can certainly technically do it but it's slow. There's waiting and the application twitches when it tries to imitate the vim way. Pretty much all finding tasks can be powered by fzf and ripgrep, and unlike IDE:s vim just does the thing when you tell it to. There's is no wait and then a dialog, there is none of 'ok, understand but Ide competent, knows many things, need more info before can do the thing' that tools like IntelliJ and Visual Studio do.

You also want jk to be Esc for sure. Esc is far away and CapsLock is for Control.

This argument is the same as people who said electric cars are worse for global warming because they are powered by coal plants and take more energy to produce. Completely invalid! If there is a cheaper and easier-to-scale system of converting carbon dioxide in the air into hydrocarbon fuel, then I’m all ears.
Ask HN: Are FAANG layoffs having an effect on high-profile open source projects?

Also is it a bad thing if it is happening? Will it slow progress or is it giving the rest on the industry an opportunity to catch its collective breath if the hype train slows down?
It's amazing how many CS programs fail to teach you even the basic tools of being a software developer. Yes, yes, CS is not programming, but there is a non-trivial amount of CS that is indeed programming, and that is generally what people do with their CS degrees, so it'd make sense for a CS program to teach the basics. Maybe even more than the basics.

I use (Neo)vim as my daily driver, professionally (for the past 4 years, coming from Goland). I've found every other editor to be too heavy/slow (VScode/Jetbrains), or too noisy (regarding features).

Neovim allows me to specify the precise minimum I desire to have a fully functional IDE-like experience (basically treesitter + LSP + DAP + minimal extra plugins).

It's super fast, I'm already in my shell, and my memory usage gets to stay super low :)
I’ve had good luck with this CableMatters USB KVM switch. It switches the USB devices along with a DisplayPort. So I leave the monitor’s input alone, and run its DisplayPort to this, and then DP cables out to my Mac and PC (well, DP-to-USBC for the Mac)

I have a few friends who were in a corps and as far as i can tell the general political standing wouldn't be that much out of place in the Kaiserzeit. Definitive not fascist, but very much "classist" and racist in a way that want to believe that non-white people are not LESS capable, but that they (the white guys in the corps) are just MORE capable. I think the word "aristocratic" would describe their mindset best.

In what way is the chart helpful? The article is from 2017:

> Then again, there already has been deflation from the peak of a little more than 19,900 to 17,600 dollars per Bitcoin. But nobody knows if the puncture will let the balloon slowly deflate or it will rip it apart, crash landing the Bitcoin.

Well, neither. Bitcoin went to 60k or something.

Did the tulip mania also have so many peaks?
In the past I was mostly the same, but then I realized that I was doing myself a disservice by not fully knowing my tools.

Every month or two I'd read a manpage for something and really experiment with using all the facilities - most of them wouldn't stick, but every now and again some would.

Just pick something like "less" or "bash", read the manpage, and try using something you've not done before. It's very helpful.

For Vim I went through the tutorial a few times a long time ago, and that really helps. (For twenty years I used emacs for "everything", and vim solely for email, via mutt and later my own client.)
I don't have any answers.

I've got an Emacs plugin installed that's kinda like easy-motion, and actually have started to use that.. but I think I'll be sticking to eg. `hhjjjj` for the rest of my life.

I write a lot of Lisp, so I wonder of learning more structural editing commands (eg. something like `jump-to-sibling-sexp`) could help me map my intents more cleanly, but wouldnt be able to carry that into other languages and expect I'd fall right back into my old ways.

Maybe it just isn't so bad. When your findger is on a key, there's a lot of value in not moving at all. Counting is taxing and lacks feedback, which is why I hate resizing terminal panes. Maybe there's more power in learning and integrating new habits, like easy-motion or search-forward (even for short distances), than in eliminating old ones.

As an aside, the most jarring thing about going back to Vim from Emacs (which I do multiple times a day) is not having nornal-mode & co. in the mini-buffer / command-line. Love how emacs treats it as just another buffer, so even eg. visual-mode works in there.
