  • I mean I am very concerned about the taste of my coffee, it taking 10 minutes to make a single cup of coffee by hand grinding beans and using an aero press is way outside the realm of need lol

    I have a number of friends with various other grinders manual and not. I looked heavily into the space for a while but I have never been able to tell that it makes much difference sans the speed, ease of cranking and general build quality. I'd love an automatic one but those all seem to be trash or crazy expensive.

    I can't say I notice any consistency differences from cup to cup with using an aero press and paper filters at least. The grind is pretty consistent, maybe because I use a coarse grind and the drill though idk. Have pretty much used the aero press forever so idk as much about other grind/brew variations either.

  • Coffee grinders are always crazy expensive and I dont really understand why when a ceramic burr is all you really seem to need (steel is fine but I think ceramic is better). I have a cheap hario hand grinder with a 10mm wrench bit crammed on the top for use with a drill and this setup has worked great for over 10yrs of daily use.

  • I think the baked-in political biases highlight how not "open source" the weights really are without knowledge of the training data. You can bias these systems however you want to and it's nontrivial or impossible to remove it once it's there.

  • Would be interesting to see a govt tackle setting up a trustless system like it required for cybersecurity best practices. I think it's a thorny issue without a trusted authority though.

    What stops an ID for being posted publicly or shared en masse? So one ID can be used unlimited times - just share the key with minors for $1 at no risk to oneself since there's no knowledge of the 'transaction' being sent around. Better for individual privacy but that undermines the political impetus for wanting the verification. Usage would probably have to be monitored or capped, kind of defeating the advantage of the anonymous protocol (or accept that abuse is unenforceable).

  • Interesting explanation. Democracy can't really work unless people have a trusted source of truth and those seem hard to come by these days with the struggles of for-profit news orgs (mostly owned by the same few giant media conglomerates). Would make sense that an effective angle of propaganda is to exacerbate that in any way possible.

  • This piqued my curiosity so I dug into it a bit on Wikipedia. Most worms are dumb as fuck, roundworms are about as dumb as they come with total neuron counts for a roundworm being comparable to a microscopic tartigrade (300 vs 200). Most of this is located in the head of the worm in a brain like structure though, so I'm betting the clones develop their brains independently with no information transfer. I doubt there's a ton of learning/memory forming going on at all though, based on how simple worms are, so it's probably functionally identical. I would be surprised if most worm species exhibit any kind of learned behaviors ever.
