It may look like a debate to most people, but some people just don’t play by those rules. The whole idea of it being a debate just falls apart when you realize that what wasn’t reasoned in, can’t be reasoned out.
If we assume that they somehow survive all the way to the very moment when humans get a permanent ban to the Earth Server, then the changes should be gradual enough after that. The bad news is, humans love to play this game by recklessly exploiting every bug and glitch, so rapid changes (in evolutionary scale) are the norm.
I would argue it depends on the method humans get removed from the equation. Chances are, humans are going to leave behind such a mess of that it’s going to be pretty hard for most things to survive.
Anything living off hydrothermal vents should be fine, even if the Earth undergoes prolonged nuclear winter or even a snowball earth scenario. Everything else is at great risk of going extinct. Tardigrades should be fine though, since they can survive all sorts of weird extremes.
On top of that, they might not even survive the CO2 and consequent ocean acidification. If humans were to get eradicated by some super plague, then octopi might still stand a chance. However, the points you mentioned mean that they are playing this game in hard mode when it comes to winning by intelligence.
Once you run out of this ultra-charred-roast, consider trying some light-roast next time. IMO dark roast requires milk to cover the bitter notes, whereas light-roast is perfectly fine without any milk.
That means your CPU should be just fine, though single thread performance could still be an issue.
If the overlay can't show you all the cores separately, you would need to alt+tab to check the proper CPU graph from time to time. If single thread performance is a bottle neck, you should see a single core staying at 100% for a long period of time or multiple cores taking turns to briefly visit 100% load.
Check how much CPU is being used during normal activities (task manager, process explorer whatever). If individual cores visit 100% usage briefly, that's perfectly fine. If all cores go 100% for a while, that's probably fine as well. If you see that the entire CPU maxes out for long periods of time, that could be a bottle neck. If you see that sort of thing happening when doing something exotic, that's perfectly fine. You don't need to upgrade your CPU just so that some once-a-year thing runs better. If you see that every day, you might want to consider upgrading.
BTW you can also use the same method to figure out if your GPU, RAM or disk is a bottleneck.
Sounds like it could be a super ultra dark roast. Do the beans look like coal? Normal coffee should have a brown color, but if the beans are more like biochar, you can expect the coffee to taste like elemental carbon and ash. if it’s mostly carbon, all the sweet and juicy flavors have been destroyed during roasting.
According to Microsoft, you can safely send your work related stuff to Copilot. Besides, most companies already use a lot of their software and cloud services, so LLM queries don’t really add very much. If you happen to be working for one of those companies, MS probably already knows what you do for a living, hosts your meeting notes, knows your calendar etc.
If you’re working for Purism, RedHat or some other company like that, you might want to host your own LLM instead.
When it comes to communication, I absolutely do train them. Someone who always begs for money, doesn’t get very many responses from me, or very soon.
Someone who uses the wrong communication method, doesn’t get a response very quickly. I have a special arrangement with someone where we’ve agreed to use Slack for all sorts of random asynchronous communication and Signal for urgent stuff that requires an answer very quickly. We’ve made a verbal agreement about this, but some times they still violates the agreement by using Signal for non-urgent stuff. That’s when I ignore that message for a while. If my phone keeps on beeping, I silence Signal notifications for the rest of the day.
So far, training people has worked out pretty well.
And you get a temporary ban if violate the rules. The length of the ban in days is the same as the relevant number in that list. Repeat offenders switch from days to weeks.
I've heard that brewing with super fresh grinds can be problematic due to excessive amounts of CO2 bubbles forming a layer between the solid and liquid phases. if that happens, you might mitigate that issue by extending the brewing time and and ensuring sufficient agitation. Probably not going to produce the ideal brew, but should be better than under extracted coffee.
Extracting with water should work better. You can heat up the water close to 100 °C to speed up the extraction. If you use milk, you can't heat it up that much without running into all sorts of issues. If you use temperatures that are reasonable to milk (55-60 °C), those temperatures would be super low for extraction. That's why milky drinks use water for making a highly concentrated coffee (espresso) and then mix it with milk.
I know someone who bought a bad batch of coffee. It was dirt cheap and tasted like water. You just had to compensate by using an obscene amount of grinds to produce a little bit of something that is almost drinkable.
I've also bought some old coffee that was just barely within its shelf life. It tasted awful, but I guess you wouldn't notice if you always use lots of creme and sugar. I drink my coffee black, so the only way to make it barely tolerable was to use 2-3x the normal dose and use an aeropress to make a super fast extraction. The longer the extraction takes, the more bad stuff will end up in the cup.
Should I start with the basics like grinding and extraction?
I assume, those bags contain whole beans. If so, you need a grinder. You also need something like a V60 or an aeropress to handle the extraction and filtration. Oh, and using a scale is highly recommended, but not strictly necessary.
If these things didn’t sound familiar, you’re in for a wild ride. This rabbit hole goes deep.
