It’s exactly what you’re talking about. The claim was “i was in industry -> therefore i know if you control the other variables you can tell the difference”. For one, controlling the other variables is an obvious step you need to take wh

It’s fascinating, isn't it? “Experts” are more than willing to dish out hundreds of dollars for finer microns and consistent particle sizes, and even measure those sizes using LASERS. They will go through the trouble to make fancy edit

It's not an important insight at all - it's a credentials fallacy. "I was in industry so I am right". Many people have spent many years nerding out on coffee, myself included, but you'll note I don't use that a

Do you live in Europe by chance? When people in the USA talk about coffee they are typically not talking about espresso, which is a different beast altogether, and something I have no experience with.

It doesnt need to be convincing - I’m not the one making the claim that $200 coffee grinders make better coffee, so I’m not responsible for backing up that fact with data.

I’m sorry but what is an “amateur” coffee drinker? Is coffee drinking so complex that you can become an expert in it? Get over yourself, you’ve been drinking the koolaid, not the coffee. People who own v60s tend tie the promotion of v60s to

Tasting a difference in grind size does not equate to fine particles being “bitter” and larger particles being “flat”, nor does it result in a slightly uneven grind being “better” than a more consistent one…

I love nerding out on food as mich as the next person. On food and cooking is one of my favorite kitchen tools. Sichuan chili oil is a staple condiment in our house. That said, i find the following to be an oft-repeated bs phrase parroted a

I don’t mean to sound pretentious but i have a hard time understanding how anyone can have a difficult time differentiating between art nouveau and art deco. The only similarity between the two lies in word “art”.

Oh certainly. But they didn't need to swipe players cards to get the 200k.

I’m awestruck that anybody would take the time to devise such a scheme and not recognize the insanely high/low:risk/reward for swiping their players cards.

If you want high quality home goods from amazon then you have to search for high quality materials: silk, linen, wool. Same for knives: damascus steel, high carbon steel, etc. If you just search for knives or sheets, or even cotton/bam

Hoping for punishment on a group of humans based on their birthdates is intellectually dishonest and frankly quite cruel. Let’s keep this type of comment on reddit.

I see what you're getting at but I still disagree, for a couple of reasons. First, the sentence itself doesn't strike me as lending itself to the idea that "the point they're making is that no other country would have as

All, I am not saying that having a solid vocabulary isn't valuable. Of course it is valuable. What I am saying is that potentially , for most people , having a vastly expansive vocabulary might not be as valuable as it used to be.

That's a great point. As someone who isn't really a programmer I wouldn't have seen the value in that feedback until you pointed it out.

In-context learning also seems like the best path to commercializing LLMs. I'm surprised that Microsoft is going the D2C route with ChatGPT rather than commercializing it in a B2B fashion. ...Or maybe that's coming? Imagine feedin

Humans are incredibly adaptive. Is there much reason to have an expansive vocabulary nowadays? We are taught to speak and write as concisely and understandably as possible. We can look up the definition of any word at our fingertips. "

This is super cool! Curious what is the advantage to carving from glued wood laminations rather than carving from solid wood? Is it just more consistent (i.e. you control where the knots are)? I know nothing about woodworking - apologies if

No, my argument is still that a significant portion of the population is ineligible. The anecdote above is just to help you understand a large piece of that ineligibility. If you want to understand that ineligibility yourself, feel free to
