Their 3rd party audit didn’t catch this…

I guess we’ll see how they respond.

I’d take it one step further and say they deserve to have their rights respected as well and the outcome pursued by law to reinforce the ethics undergirding law. It seems like this person was a target and they would have eventually got him — this was simply an expedient shortcut.

In the pour-over section, the authors hit on a good point about height and creating a vortex in the slurry. Water temperature and flow rate are important variables too. Combined with the coffee grounds' quality (i.e. grind consistency) and whether it has fines or lots of chaff will also dictate how long it takes to draw down and therefore whether the pour height's effects will change if static.

I do like the advice grind coarser and extract with more water -- that's made my V60 coffee quality fairly consistent, but everyone's mileage will vary based on how they like their coffee and the roast profile.

There are so many other variables that didn't get a mention: Coffee varietal

Water hardness (and even which other ions are present in the water) and its effects on acids and other compounds that highlight certain varietal's defining characteristics.

Vessel temperatures.

The filters used (materials, paper thinness).

Pouring patterns (circular, concentric, hypotrochoid, more?)

The filter shape and material.

Even the grinder used conical vs. flat burrs and high RPMs vs. low RPMs creates palpable flavor profile differences.

The rabbit hole goes deep and continues to expand.

Imagine being so intelligent to do so many things with a skill set, yet choosing to spend so much time on an animation that can be measured in microseconds. The proportions are staggering. Truly bizarre to me how something I’ve never even noticed while using the feature could drive a person to this level of obsession.

Finally got my $45 payout from the last class action suit against Apple for the butterfly keyboard fiasco. Seems like Apple didn’t learn the overarching lesson here: keyboards have to be robust and replaceable because they frequently need replacement.

I agree. The title is incomprehensible.

Apparently OpenAI has zero interest in private user data. I have a hard time understanding how they’ll deploy this defense of “what about private user data?” in court.

I’d like to know what happens to cell phone use after school lets out. Are these students more likely to spend the rest of the day online? I could also see it going the other way. And if that’s the case, Cardozo is one of the first cell rehabs for students. Terrific to see!

At least with medicine there are ethics and operating principles and very strict protocols. The first among them is ‘do no harm.’

It’s not reassuring to me that these companies, bursting at the seams with so much cash that they’re actually are having national economic impact, are flying blind and there’s no institution to help correct course and prevent this hurdling mass from crashing into society and setting it ablaze.

It’s not worth much if a human has to fact check the AI and update it to tell it to “forget” certain precepts.

Speaking of dozens. I’m on a 12 Mini and will be hard pressed to give it up. I also replaced the battery recently and am still quite pleased with its performance!

I see teenagers driving these things because I think they have such low horsepower that they don’t require the regular class of driver’s license.

That’s how they get you. You’d better anticipate a lot of emails offering you deals to re-up for another few years.

I pulled the plug on Nord years ago and haven’t looked back.

Steady the course my friend.

Responsibility and who pays are certainly important, but isn’t it equally concerning that there isn’t an investigation initiated directly to determine if there’s malfunctioning technology?
