Yeah but having the water hit the grounds at the right temperature is what separates a great machine from an average machine. Yours doesn't do that. Congratz on everything you've done so far but I am your target customer and won't consider a machine that doesn't also manage the water temperature.
Rust copied algebraic data types from ML style languages, yet programming in a ML style is pretty bad in Rust because there is no garbage collector (languages like Haskell would be completely unusable without garbage collector). This could fix that.

Force ATT et al. to build out fiber trunks in rural areas, then allow competitive wireless offerings to connect last mile. (Excluding the trunk owner)

I was wondering something similar from a different perspective. I love to read, but I'm actually terrible at it. My eyes don't track well and I jump lines constantly, get confused about where I am, and have to start whole pages over sometimes. My mind also wanders, and I can go several pages before realizing I haven't really been reading. It takes me twice as long to finish a book as it does my friends, but I still enjoy reading and love books.

This is an incredibly complicated subject full of dissenting opinions and obviously people have their preferences especially across different brew types. In my opinion, the effect of densification within grinders with longer, or multiple cutting paths is universally positive for flavor. Fine particles accumulate with eachother and with larger particles and everything is rolled and rounded. One of the things to remember is that over-grinding coffee, I assume you mean by putting it over and over through the same burr set, is not the same as putting it once through a longer burr set. With the cylindrical burrs, the coffee is doing the same thing that any other set of burrs do, only over a longer distance period of time, so the coffee has more time to densify.

Below is a great James Hoffman video comparing traditional coffee grinders to roller grinders, though the company keeps a lot of the details a secret, their grinder not only has a very long grind path, but also a dedicated densification stage.

I have only done blind taste tests using my friends and family as unwitting participants, and they've universally preferred turbina over a 64mm flat burr grinder with titanium nitride burrs and a high-ish end conical hand grinder. But obviously, this may be a matter of preference!
It's definitely a high bar. I set it that way because there have been a handful of battery announcements claiming they can get to that number over the past 5 years. I want it and I want it now. Haha
Memorizing the words is necessary but not sufficient, there is still a ton of strategy and interesting dynamics to scrabble beyond the word list. The one that's most interesting to me is that at high level play it starts as imperfect information game but progresses into a perfect information game. At the start your opponent's rack could have anything, but once the bag is mostly depleted the challenge is not just to find the best scoring play, but to find your best play relative to all your opponents best plays for all possible racks they could have.
My take is that different types of reading affect the brain differently. Reading for facts stimulates the learning parts of the brain, reading comments stimulates the social parts. But Reading books, as in novels, is an act of immersing yourself in storytelling. It's not exactly learning or social, but it's own category.

Even before them, in Guénon and Vico.

While it’s mostly a laugh (a shock?) to read Guénon and Marcuse side by side, I think Vico is really misunderstood and under-appreciated in our present cultural moment and I think a lot of good could come from a revival of his thought. He’s influenced a diverse array of characters, from Marx to Rosmini-Serbati, and I see a lot of his thought in Horkheimer and Habermas (I.e., the side of the Frankfurt school that rediscovered the big questions in a non-reactionary, non-nostalgic way).

I’m “reading” all day long. Code, chats, news, documentation.

There’s really all the difference in the world if you can sit still and focus on a good engaging long-form work. I think most folk are losing the discipline to do that, as we all communicate in brief spurts of async messaging and anything published for mass consumption is written at a 4th grade level

> There is a pressure seal directly in the group head that holds the water in at the end of a shot.

Like a check valve? Does that mean that some (clean) water is trapped between the pump's output and the seal at the end of the shot? If so, this doesn't seem so terrible.

One thing I've often found odd about espresso machines is that they all seem to have some mechanism to depressurize the basket when a shot ends, and that this mechanism lets water that may have been in contact with the grounds go through some portion of the machine. What's the point? The pressure will naturally dissipate quite quickly through the grounds unless like kind of pressure-retaining basket is in use.

The part where it talked about how the brain changes when people practice reading more made the title and first paragraphs seem like they have the causation exactly backward. It sounded like they were saying "people are good at reading because they have different brains," implying some sort of unfair advantage, rather than that people who read a lot develop different regions of their brains than people who don't.

I'm surprised by the number of adults I've worked with who had graduate degrees and yet could not read a paragraph out loud on the spot and sound natural. I found out most of the reason I was having so much trouble communicating with them was because almost all our communication was in writing, and they couldn't read fluently.

It's hard for me to imagine completing, like, 5th grade without being able to read well, so it's a testament to their fierce determination that they'd been working around that challenge at such high levels!
Its arguable. Charlemagne controlled Rome, so he had a vague claim to be a rule of the largest successor state. The Eastern Roman empire did have political continuity but was not all the Roman - it was culturally and linguistically Greek, and did not control Rome itself.
Early cell phone manufacturing was more automated than it is now. The "brick" type phones (Nokia, etc.) were a stack of boards with cutouts for the thick components. The whole stack was squeezed together and sometimes riveted. So the internals were well-supported and very tough.

That kind of assembly could be totally automated. Pick and place to make the boards, stack and rivet to put it together.

Modern phones have little pieces and wires all over the place.[1] You'd think these things would be designed for automated assembly, but they're not.

Why does this need to rely on `static` variables in the implementation? Can we use QCell-like lifetime branding tricks to have multiple independent GC-reference graphs that are assured at compile time to always be disjoint, and might undergo collection by separate threads?
When smart pointers first came to C++ Herb Sutter gave a take where he claimed that 80% (numbers from memory as I don't want to rewatch several hours of cppcon videos to find the real claim) of the time you should unique_ptr, 15% shared_ptr - but that last 5% you need a mark and sweep garbage collector. I'm not a rust guy (I've only done hello world), but my understanding is it only gives you unique pointers - I've done enough C++ to state that over the base decade unique_ptr has always been enough for everything, though sometimes I've needed some thought to make it work in weird situations, while shared_ptr would have just worked.

There are known real world data structures that are sometimes useful (though I've never encountered a need to use them) where because you have circular references to things you have to use a mark and sweep garbage collector. If you happen to need such a thing in your Rust code than this will be useful.

It's a question of what we want to measure. There's a metric that represents how much a claimant sees in unexpected costs due to denied claims vs impact on care from the insurer.

A denied prior auth results in no unexpected costs but perhaps a change or delay in care.

A denied claim to an in network hospital may result in the provider losing revenue but nothing for the claimant.
> The European Commission […] targeted users who weren't interested in keywords like: Qatargate, brexit, Marine Le Pen, Alternative für Deutschland, Vox, Christian, Christian-phobia or Giorgia Meloni. The clear intention was to only target politically liberal or left users, but not conservative or right-wing users.

Arguably the clear intention was to not target the ultra-far-right… you know, the kind of folks who really like their shiny boots and stiff-armed salutes.

In other words this “microtargetting” is really a macrotargeting of the extreme left, the ultra far-left, the far-left, the left, the center-left, the center, the center-right, the right, and the far right.

But hey, keep shifting that Overton Window.
Near as I can tell, shifgrethor means something like personal dignity, prestige among peers, legitimacy, autonomy, and authority -- all at once. King Argaven considers Genly Ai's existence (and his offer of union with the Ekumen) a threat to his sovereignty as king, because of that Karhide's sovereignty as a nation, also because of that his worth as an individual. He can't separate these concepts because they are all one, they are all shifgrethor.

This insight helped me understand the mindset of the IBM executives, which I wouldn't have before; just dismissed it as wrongheaded pre-boomer silliness. The executives saw demeaning themselves with the scutwork of looking things up for oneself as an attack on their position, their dignity and worth as individuals, and the organization as a whole -- perhaps even society as a whole. Those filthy hippies with their (sissy voice) "collaborative work environments" and their "interactive terminals". They're working for the Reds, I tell ya, trying to unravel the nation from the inside!

I owe LeGuin a profound debt for opening my mind to mentalities vastly different to my own, yet still essential to the history of the computing world I live in.
I used to read books with ease but have had to limit my reading to online texts, both short and long form, mostly technical. I know for sure that I am not a reader anymore, because whenever I pick up a book I can't sit through it. It's an entirely different mode of consuming text, for me, one that I would have to relearn.

Also, people who learn to read very early end up weird: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlexia

I was hyperlexic, and I always found it very bizarre when people said they had a voice in their heads while they were reading (subvocalization.) I think I read so much as a very small child that I was exposed to much more written than spoken language, and I never needed subvocalization (or left it behind at some point.) After learning a second language with very different pronunciation rules, I realized that I was not only subvocalizing in that language, but was also now subvocalizing while reading English.

It struck me when I was reading a book on the operations of the House of Commons, and I realized I was reading "clerk" as "clark." The word "clerk" is spelled identically and has exactly the same meaning in both American and British English, but I was distinguishing them because I was reading in a UK context.

I actually wrote about it yesterday; using a database metaphor, I think I turned the natural primary key of the visual appearance of words into a composite key that now included the sound in order to distinguish between the meanings of very similar Romance language words from their English counterparts. I had to read in an accent. I'm considering blaming how impossibly hard it was for me to pick up a second language on the disability of not previously subvocalizing.
Yeah, one man’s "challenging but feasible" becomes the next man’s "arbitrary".

The difference between small increments and giving a status updates every week is that if your task needs multiple status updates, it’s not small increments.

Also small increments mean a piece of work that can measurably be evaluated as done. A status update is not a "done" status.

If someone fails to deliver a small increment, you find out soon, and the team can re-assess, and it doesn’t carry the stigma of missing a deadline.
I always wondered if there's a link between handedness and reading comprehension. E.g. Left handers tend to use more of the right hemisphere for language processing. Does this mean reading ability is diminished?

I myself struggle with reading and am left handed. It sort of feels like I'm forcing a muscle instead of using a muscle and strengthening it. I also have poor reading comprehension. I do read a lot but no matter how much more I read my comprehension and reading ability always stays the same.

I also wonder if left-to-right languages are better suited for right handed people. Often my eyes will jump around the text in a way that feels like it'd be easier to read text right-to-left.

Yes, though this is still not universal and still things go south with anime-original titles (WEP is 10/13, sadly)

> it used to be that anime would be produced while the manga was still ongoing and popular, which lead to filler as a much more common phenomenon.

> By all means, feel free to split hairs

Yes, I don't object this, though I was thinking more in how the media does not/translate. I even re-read Kaji/Akagi first story from Tsuredzure Children as this is the one best examples of a media adaptation.

Some years ago, I noticed that I read less and less, and it troubled me. Then one day I tried on a pair of reading glasses over my regular glasses.

I was amazed.

The trouble turned out to be it simply got harder and harder for me to read, and so I enjoyed it less, so read less. Getting progressive lenses fixed that.

Excellent summary. I'd like to address the denials in particular.

As the article says: "No industry malfeasance could ever excuse murder."

With that in mind, we should remember that every death that happens because a valid lifesaving claim was denied is a kind of murder, and no amount of fraud could ever excuse denying valid lifesaving claims.

The stakes are too high: all claims should be approved, then adjudicated later. Fraud should of course be punished severely (with prison, not merely returning the money), but no one should die to protect insurance companies from fraud.

Scalability issue in OP exceptions is because their code is throwing a lot of exceptions from multiple threads at the same time and therefore causing resource contention in libgcc unwind implementation.

Quite curious how this compares to docling - https://github.com/DS4SD/docling

docling uses an LLM IIRC, so that's already a difference in approach
The title said "contributors", not "contributions".
I don't think tabular data of any sort is a particularly good fit for LLMs at the moment. What are you trying to do with it?

If you want to answer questions like "how many students does Everglade High School have?" and you have a spreadsheet of schools where one of the columns is "number of students" I guess you could feed that into an LLM, but it doesn't feel like a great tool for the job.

I'd instead use systems like ChatGPT Code Interpreter where the LLM gets to load up that data programatically and answer questions by running code against it. Text-to-SQL systems could work well for that too.
Rust does give you reference-counted shared pointers, both within a single thread (Rc<>) and across multiple threads (Arc<>). But reference counting does not properly clean up objects in the presence of reference cycles: that's when proper tracing GC may be required.
Great timing. I've been wanting to learn how to do projects like this, but been so unsure what types of microcontroller I should get and what else could be needed. Similar in the software world where we all have our preferred tech stacks, I was so uncertain of what stack to use for these projects that it definitely causes a hurdle.

>While working on the game I used my newfound ESP32 skills to do some other projects, such as automating the remote-controlled blinds in our bedroom as well as a motion sensor that would send Pushover notifications to my phone.
