What I meant was that I find the Chicago style way too thick, heavy, cheesy, slow to cook. It feels like a manifestation of the country's preference for heavy-handedness and excess. This may be an ungracious take. In any case it looks

After tossing peeled, sliced, sections of potato in some fat / oil before putting them in the oven, I wouldn't add further oil to them - does this mean they're not basted, or they are (by the original covering)? Is beef welli

Well it's indeed unfortunate that you're so agitated by this. I did mention etymology, and appreciate that you cited a british white goods manufacturer's oven-door-naming system as a counterpoint. I'm wondering if I were

They appear to be so poorly defined that no one here's come up with a strict, exception-free, definition. Or rather, lots of people have come up with definitions, but they're all different.

Check my (much larger) reply elsewhere in this thread - though the tl;dr is that roasting involves flame / fire / maybe coals, baking does not.

Thanks - I can't imagine ever wanting to eat, let alone cook, a Chicago style 'pizza'.

Sometimes I'll reheat some puff pastry wrapped items on a metal pizza tray (one of the ones with regular series of holes punched in it) as it helps with the keeping a crispier texture on the base. This doesn't mean that my chick

Alas my record keeping back in 2011 was not so good -- I'm quietly confident it would have been in St Mawes, but, as noted, 13+ years back so it's doubtful that the restaurant, chef, or menu remains.

Absolute best baked (what some people mistakenly call roast) potatoes I've ever had were in a small restaurant in Cornwall, England. They were almost definitely locally grown, doubtless extremely fresh, and almost definitely an heirloo

In 2013 we did the overnight train from Paris (~10pm) to Barcelona (~10am) - this was a recently revived option, and I think it only lasted a few years in operation - presumably the economics just weren't there, unfortunately. The &#x2

I don't expect you were genuinely seeking an answer, however I'll point out that the crux of the mystery described in TFA was that it was such a rare event - someone tremendously wealthy didn't avoid this tax - that it was

A fascinating reddit post was mentioned here about a month ago - about the mildly famous (if a little macabre) 'Buy, Borrow, Die' cycle used by the obscenely-wealthy to - multi-generationally - avoid tax obligations. https:/

Often you'll find there's '-chat-' and '-instruct-' variants of an LLM available. Trying to chat to an INSTRUCT model will be disappointing, much as you describe.

Indeed. I'd started to add an aside to the effect of 'ten years ago it was probably easier to go ECC'. I'll add it here instead. A decade ago if you wanted ECC your choice was basically Xeon, and all( ) Xeon motherboa

Thanks, and all good - it was my fault for not following the link in this story to your post about the actual build, before starting on my mini-rant. I'd heard the original ZFS memory estimations were somewhat exuberant, and recommenda

Surprised to not find 'ecc' on that page. I know it's not a guarantee of no-corruption, and ZFS without ECC is probably no more dangerous than any other file system without ECC, but if data corruption is a major concern for y

It's using llama.cpp, so it's going to be the same benchmarks as almost all other apps (given almost everything uses llama.cpp under the hood).

Server infrastructure is mostly a solved problem - hardware (snmp/ipmi etc) and OS layer. I think it'd be very hard at this point to come up with compelling alternatives to the incumbents in this space. I'd certainly not wa

Hang on - 87% of end-customer marketing is already aspirational, potential quality (of life) - over measurable, quantifiable - outcomes. To your second question, I believe a popular adjective might be 'invigorating'.

My dude, that is a despairing world view you have there. First, no UBI proponents are suggesting that it be a) combined with a bureaucratic dictatorship, and b) implemented absent significant concurrent social and financial changes. Your ph

My point was, and remains, that the current de facto, whatever is considered 'normal' in whichever country you currently reside and work, was not piloted or effectively tested . You inherited your place in it, and it is therefore

I don't think you can usefully equate 'UBI' to a single outcome of UBI. One of the goals of UBI, as I interpret it, is to reduce the cost of living closer to zero. And that's the literal cost of living - not the macr
