It all depends so much on the tea. There are many, many varieties of green tea.

My goto for an "average" green tea is a maximum of 70C and for most other teas (Oolong, Red etc.) it's 95C but the temperature is only one variable. Leaf to water ratio and steeping time are the other two. I usually brew Gongfu style (more leaf, shorter steeping times). For a nice Gyokuro on the low end of the temperature scale, I usually go with 50C and 6g/100ml of water/120 seconds steep and then increase the time in 30 second increments for the next two brews. After that I increase the temperature to about 70 degrees to squeeze out another brew or two but it's the first three that I'm really after :)

My goto "lazy" green is a Long Jing which can take hotter water (I usually go to around 80C) and it's just my daily tea so I usually brew it "western" style 0.6g/100ml, 2min first brew, 3min second brew.

It's a lot of fun to experiment with different teas and do comparison tastings (I did this quite a bit for white tea with the same tea brewed at different temperatures, steeping time etc.). But beware, it can turn into a bit of an obsession :)

And don't forget to smell the tea and leaves after brewing. It's one of the nicest things about a good cup of tea.

Lyft continues to push that they are social conscious and cool. Even 2 years ago i had friends who wouldn’t take an uber because uber was such an evil company. Lyft spent significant marketing money on putting that in people head and it was really the only thing the company had going for them.

I wonder why your account is attacked by spam so often. Conversely, I've never had any account get so little spam as my Telegram account. My email gets literally dozens of spam mails per day. Telegram, I'd say less than once per month.

Exactly yesterday I thought that I got a spam message, it turns out that the sender is a SpaceX fan and a real interesting human, not the crypto-pushing bot that I had suspected at first when I read the greeting "hi".
Show HN: GPT UI similar to ChatGPT but with sudo access
This is an interface on top of the OpenAI API for GPT-3 and 4. It looks similar to ChatGPT, but has a few more features.

It does require you to have an API key for the GPT API. The API key is stored in your browser local storage , but a hash of it is used to make sure your history is unique to you. The hash is stored in the backend.

There are two main reasons why I created this for myself, you also might find it useful:

- I would really wanted ChatGPT to have access get contents from websites

- I don't like subscription fees and I don't like how slow the free ChatGPT is, I like to pay-as-I-go, and GPT API already allows me to do that

P.S. There's also a Chrome extension for summarising pages, but it's my first time creating a Chrome extension. It's ugly and buggy, and the slow review process of the Chrome web app developer console doesn't help.
Browsh relies in Firefox to generate pages quite accurately I think
"-ough" vs "-ought" are not a problem since they are different, and this there can be a consistent no-exceptions rule distinguish a them.

Same as "sch" and "tsch" are pronounced differently in German but are still considered phonetic.

Although/through/ebough is a problem tho. I wish the general public cared enuff to push a spelling reform thru.

Sure! If you are honestly interested in the truth, it's quite easy to find information about all things nuclear. The veneer of falsehoods causing people to believe that nuclear is cheap and safe when it clearly isn't is very thin and will only affect those who don't really want to know.

Here's an estimate from 2016 for Chernobyl, the total back then was estimated to be around 700 bn USD but with some uncertainty. It's probably safe to say at least 600bn now, and it's ongoing.

https://uscglobalhealth.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/2016_che...

The yearly costs for handling Chernobyl (before the recent war) were over 5% of the national budget of Ukraine, and countries as far away as scandinavia still have ongoing costs.

>Even the more extreme estimates claim $200B for Fukushima

200 bn is the actual estimate from the government. (Extreme estimates are already at 1000 bn).

82 bn was spent in the first 11 years, meaning the average is over 7 billion yearly.

https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/14762193

The 200 bn estimate is very clearly extremely _optimistic_. It's frankly unreasonable to think that another 15 years will see the end of expenses related to Fukushima.

Now imagine if we could spend all this money on energy storage instead. I think it could go a long way, we just need to do it.
This was my immediate thought when they released chatgpt plugins. They had this little demo where it generated a recipe, pulled the calories from wolfram alpha and then generated a one click to order link for doordash.

It's no stretch of the imagination that this will replace many, if not most app ui's. For the time being there's still some programs that are much better off with a dedicated interface, but the future where the starting point for most day-to-day computer interactions is a unified natural language text input is very near.

It's striking to me how close this matches the depiction in the movie "Her".

Messenger apps like telegram do have an opportunity here, but I think the most likely way for this to play out is that apple and google will eventually make their assistants the front and center way of interacting with your phone and their won't be much that messenger apps can do about it, even if they are substantially faster at implementing this.
Ok, you misunderstood. My comment was about exams more than about teaching. And if the AI fails the test, then the vendor can train the AI and try to do better next time, anyway.
You probably used GPT-3.5. That said, I didn't manage to get GPT-4 to calculate 36,330 * 26,951 correctly. I suggested casting out 9s, casting out 11s, doing long multiplication, reversing the digits - nothing.

I have a theory that it does arithmetic badly because the logic goes right-to-left, when LLMs write left-to-right. If the digits were to be reversed, it might not make as many mistakes. I ran out of attempts before I could test this properly.

I was with you until the end. Originally doesn’t mean shit. Who cares if Laravel is a Rails clone? For the record, I have no idea if it is, let alone if it is beyond the degree that plenty of other things are “Rails clones”. And this is ignoring the fact that Rails had been inspired plenty by other projects throughout its lifetime, as it should.

I’m interested in using the right tool for the job, not getting caught up in weird inside baseball attribution wars. IMO, PHP is often not the best tool because it’s a shitty language. If it has a “Rails clone”, that makes it better, not worse.
Because most “democratic” countries are not really democratic. Elected representatives can and will act against the interests of the public they represent.

While here in Switzerland we have direct democracy, where such decisions have to be confirmed by national referendums (we have several each year), and most certainly this one would not be approved.

> It means the SEC has a limited enforcement budget and is pursuing actions that it believes have the best chances of success.

I’d have expected enforcement to practically print money due to fines. (That one of the deliberate design aspects of fines would be that they would cover all the agency’s investigations, successful and unsuccessful.) Is this not the case?
Maybe they want to regulate it because its biggest posterboy (SBF) ran the biggest ponzi since Madoff...

Or maybe because its second biggest posterboy (Do Kwon) ran the second biggest ponzi since Madoff...

Crypto fanboys will defend this trash so much that they've already forgiven and forgotten SBF and Do Kwon.

If this industry wasn't filled with scams siphoning off literally tens of billions in real cash, maybe the SEC wouldn't want to regulate it so strongly.
MSR can pay well, but top flight universities (in CS at least) do actually pay pretty well.

But MSR is in some ways almost a university in and of itself. It has extremely good talent and is as competitive as many faculty departments. The appeal of MSR (to me) is from the research opportunities afforded to them. The product of MSR researchers is still mostly papers. In other words, they are still researchers and research (papers) is what they want to produce. They serve on conference committees, the works. It's easy to go from MSR to academia and back again.

The professors who give up a big salary are those who could take the skills they developed and apply it in a more industrial capacity, where their innovations are not public or published. This is worth a lot more to a company. Taking highly motivated and intelligent people and having them solve the hardest problems at the biggest companies in such a way (i.e., secretly) that gives the company a competitive advantage is going to pay quite well.
> Once you flip it around like that it becomes much less attractive to think of forcing banks to make loans that they expect to lose money on.

That's not what I'm proposing, though. I'm proposing that each loan would come with the creation of central money, such that any that falls through results in nothing more than a little bit of inflation. And the people who issue the loans would effectively be government workers. Or contractors or whatever, but they would do all this on behalf of the state.

> Which, again, we already have.

I have to confess ignorance here. Do we have rules that forbid specific industries from contracting loans? (Industries that are otherwise legal, I mean.)
PHP CMSs are not as relevant today, as they were years before. Nowadays you can quickly generate a static website using Hugo or 11ty and host it on Netlify or Cloudflare Pages for free.
While I agree with all of that, what's the adoption of gold? It's almost entirely stored in vaults as storage of value and never "used", not even looked at.

I still believe in crypto as a store of value and hence as a possible future global currency, but 10+ years later and it's still almost entirely speculation.

Recently, some big names (Saudi Arabia, Brazil, maybe China) are moving off the dollar and in search of a new global currency. Let us see.
'Virus' is a neuter second-declension noun

> "Without addicts there would be no dealers."

"Addicts" do not consume drugs out of their own free will. They are addicts, their condition is out of their control. The dealers have free will and willingly choose to ruin society.

> Someone switches bags with you at the airport, in a part of the airport where no cameras are...you have no proof, and you are sentenced to death for being "such a menace"?

You raise a good point - and believe it or not, that is actually a fear I have of travelling to Singapore. Even though it's obviously unlikely, there is always that fear of "but what if it happens?"

This is why the defendant deserves the best defense possible, and that doesn't seem to have happened in this case. It's also why the government should absolutely prioritize a high level of certainty when assessing if someone is guilty of such a serious crime or not. Personally, I wish they opted for life sentences as opposed to execution. You can free someone from prison. You can't un-execute them.

> "Finally, does the prosecution and sentencing of many mainly black men in USA for small drug crimes"

America has for-profit prisons, corrupt police, and a long history of racism. These factors play a major role in why minorities are targeted.
I benchmarked both with a cross platform program. btrfs is massively slower on windows, especially with random IO (but also with sequential). Its even more disparate with compression turned on both.

I cant remember the linux results... not that it matters, as I avoid NTFS writes on linux like the plague, even with the new kernel driver. Just this year, I tried trusting it for a little while, and linux ntfs killed an entire backup HDD by corrupting the partition table :/.

Mounting NTFS as read only is OK though.

One life tip I've learned is that the Windwos Store's .msixbundle packages are just zip files that you can extract and usually will run fine.

Change the .msixbundle extension to .zip, and open with 7-zip. Inside the archive, open & extract the appropriate .msix file for your architecture. Now you have Windows Terminal Portable. (I've done this with other apps too)

To obtain a download link for a Windows Store package, you need to go to third party websites where you input the Windows Store URL, and it gives you the download link. Make sure the download link is from Microsoft domain.

But in Windows Terminal's case, the bundle is published on their Github so you can download directly. If you want the Cascadia Code font, you need to install it manually by double clicking on the font from the package.

Japanese green teas are not usually steeped multiple times (though most will allow for a few steepings, and a few are designed for that).

This sounds a lot more like chinese teas, which are designed for multiple short steepings (gongfu ceremony) and more or less require a rinsing first steep.
> I find the closest to an unbiased news source is Reuters.

Maybe for American news it is unbiased across conservatives / liberals, however from a non-American point of view Reuters is very VERY much biased towards US / CIA (even though it is incorporated in England).

I've been at companies like that, when I told my manager I was leaving, he was basically "lets wait to tell HR until X date so they don't walk you out and you can transition your stuff". Didn't bother me, as the benefits mentioned in article applied.
> I am a tea worm, I use to consume several kg of tea annually.

Is it japanese green tea? Because that's what the article is about, if you're drinking black tea, or chinese teas, that is utterly irrelevant: they are different cultivars, selected and grown differently, with different harvesting and processing, and different brewing methods and temperatures.

You might well be Spiff and still have no useful input.
Even if the app is not e2e encrypted, that is much better in my eyes than the targeted advertising in WhatsApp. Go to the toilet more often than usual, suddenly diarrhea-related ads. Drop a friend off at a smoke shop, suddenly marijuana-related ads. I don't want to imagine if they have the drug dealers' and prostitutes' locations mapped, and what would happen if you stop there for some reason.

Interesting coincidence, huh ;)
I don't think any trader at a broker/dealer would think that, but it's possible people on the buyside thought that. There are plenty of funds who have a strat of just allocating say 95% of their holdings to the Russell or something and then putting the remaining 5% into some high-vol bets (like putting them into LTCM or whatever). They don't see it as a hedge exactly, but it means that they hardly need to work at all and when these pay off they say "look this is alpha" and when they don't they say "look, your error vs the Russell is less than 5%". Some funds (eg big pensions) have enough AUM that this risky piece is a very significant amount of money.

I was working in the city shortly after LTCM failed and one of the interesting things I heard is that several large European institutions were using LTCM for overnight treasury. So at cob in Europe they would sweep funds into LTCM and then move them out the next morning for trading. If that was actually the case it would have caused massive fluctuations in their assets during the day which would be extremely hard to manage.

Languages have different dimensions, including spelling, pronunciation, conjugation, grammar. English is moderately easy in spelling and pronunciation, but with exceptions and exceptions to the exceptions, it is harder than say Korean. Mandarin has more difficult spelling and pronunciation than English, but the low number of conjugations and tenses makes it much easier grammatically than English.
In a few years (1~3), regulations (Crit'Air and low emission zones) will prevent me from keeping my '08 car (or at least getting it out of a closed parking lot, controls are planned to be done via fully automated license plate recognition).

Sad because it's stupidly reliable and in great mechanical condition, I expect it to run another 15 without batting much of an eye if properly maintained.

Ironically if it were older (like, > 30 years old) I'd be able to keep using it, as it would be considered a collector car (... provided it's vetted on a case by case basis by local authorities).

But then other regulations would take effect like max mileage per year and limited allowed range (e.g leaving local administrative area), which you can only exceed with more vetting from local authorities and under specific circumstances (e.g participating in a collector car showcase)

But this thread and my entry to it started with this statement by someone else:

>> My contention is that the chart I posted would have looked largely the same whichever party was in power.

It might have done, but Brown didn't argue that. In the leadup to 2010 he argued that he would simply not increase it further, in contrast to the "savage cuts" planned by the Tories.
Why would adding middlemen lower prices? If it dit, why not require another layer? Brokers of brokers, etc. I think you can see that it doesn't make sense.
In Singapore you don't have a right to a lawyer when questioned by police (you can have one after a statement is made). If you don't answer police questions or don't sight a statement, that can be used against you in court as proof of guilt.

I ported Forth across because I was trying to debug one of mine, and wanted a way to poke the chip registers directly to see what was going on. Initially I ported SBUG across to it, but I've always liked Forth and that meant I could write and run test programs easily.
"The actual thing that the debt ceiling does is stop the Treasury from issuing debt to pay for things Congress has already decided to pay for."

It's unlikely it does that. If it came to a court the judge would have to decide which of Congress's instructions take precedence or how to reconcile them. That falls into territory of implied repeal and reinterpretation of the Federal Reserve Act.

If the Democrats had any backbone, they would instruct the Fed to pay what Congress has authorised and if the Fed said 'no', take them to court to force an interpretative judgement to settle the matter. (which I call the 'empty chest' problem).

Which would almost certainly involve reading section 15(1) of the Federal Reserve Act using the same 'futurity' that the courts have used in appropriation bills.

(ie the deposits it talks about are past, present and future deposits).

That would imply a balancing amount held at the Fed, and the debt ceiling stops the Treasury refinancing that balance into bonds.

Both the spending and the debt ceiling requirements of Congress are then satisfied - and the tool is neutered.
Ext4 was explicitly designed with maintaining backwards and (limited) forwards compatibility in mind precisely for the reason pointed out in my sibling comments.

Depending on the filesystem features you enable, you can even mount an ext4 filesystem with the ext2 kernel driver, and you can already mount an ext2 or ext3 filesystem with the ext4 kernel driver.

A large part of this compatibility is due to the bitmap of compatible, compatible read-only, and incompatible filesystem flags in the filesystem superblock.

For example, when ext4 got support for extents, that's an incompatible feature; you cannot mount an ext4 filesystem with extents with the ext3 kernel driver. This does not even require ext3 to know what an extent is because it's just indicated as an unknown (from the ext3 driver's perspective) incompatibility flag.

On the other hand, the implementation of sparse superblocks (keeping fewer copies of the superblock around to allow for more blocks to be used for file data on filesystems intended to house lots of large files) is merely a read-only compatibility bit; you can mount an ext4 filesystem using sparse superblocks with an ext2/ext3/ext4 driver that does not support them, in a read-only manner. This cannot be mounted read-write because the implementation may try to place a filesystem superblock where file data is supposed to be, which would lead to at best wasted space (negating the feature) or at worst limited filesystem corruption.

When feature changes that could break things are made to the ext4 implementation in the Linux kernel, they are always done so using these (in)compatibility flags, ensuring that only implementations that can entirely support the feature can mount them read-write, and that implementations whose ability to read would not be affected can still mount them read-only. This allows you to create future filesystems (using e.g. mke2fs(8)) and not turn those features on while doing so, if you want the filesystem to be used by other implementations. Something you already have to bear in mind if you're creating a filesystem using a modern mke2fs but intended to be read by ancient Linux kernels.
