You missed an important part of the headline "is feared to have..."

It says she caught a "cholera like" infection

I like that kbin and Lemmy aren't going to have an entire team of people doing continuous A/B testing to find what drives the most engagement.

Much less chance of this ending up as a dopamine slot machine.

Hi from Artemis 🫡

It's pretty great.

Yeah, something in the algorithm that prevents one magazine or one instance dominating would be the best approach.

To get even more pedantic...

It's defined on how far light will travel in a vacuum in the time it takes caesium-133 to do a certain number of transitions between hyperfine ground states.

It's cool how almost all units of measure are defined on caesium

Yeah, a flair or a robot is way quicker than a powered espresso machine.

I've been trying to optimise my workflow using a stopwatch and doing as much in parallel as possible. The key is to have water boiling and beans grinding simultaneously, and then milk heating and espresso extraction simultaneously.

I can make a flat white and be all cleaned up and packed away withing 4mins.

Process:

• add water to kettle and start boiling
• add beans to grinder and start grinding
• get robot off shelf and put into position with scale
• put milk into French press and in the microwave with time set to 1min (but not yet started)
• grinding has now finished. WDT and tamp.
• kettle has now boiled, press start on microwave
• water into portafilter and press (~30sec)
• empty and clean portafilter
• remove milk from microwave, froth, pour.
• put away robot, clean french press.
• ☕

I also have a robot and can't vouch for it highly enough.

Came from aeropress like OP, and I've found it very similar to the aeropress in terms of flexibility.

The only downside for me is the effort required in temp management to do really light roasts. But I assume this would be the same with the original flair.

Is creamer used in countries that don't regularly have milk in the fridge? I've never heard of anyone using it in Australia, but I've also never seen the need when everyone has milk and sugar readily on hand.

It's the defacto term for how we fit a statistical model to data, unrelated to any copyright concepts. I'm pretty sure we called it "training" back in 1997 when I was doing neural networks at uni, and it's probably been used well before then too.

Neural nets are based on the concept of Hebbian learning (from the 1930s), because they are trying to mimic how a biological neural network learns.

This concept of training/learning has persisted because it's a good analogy of what we are trying to do with these statistical models, even if they aren't strictly neural networks.

Do we trust them not to steal credentials?

It annoys me how none of the news articles mention spez's lying about the Apollo Dev trying to blackmail Reddit.

That's the singular thing that drove me away.
