It seems important to support this sort of diversity and openness in AI. Even if you don’t necessarily support the US, avoiding any single bloc dominating this technology is valuable for everyone.

Given the grind has already been specified as an espresso-level of fineness (we're talking about a cold brew recipe), most of the grinds are going to be able to get through the metal filter.

The original suggestion of plunging slowly and gently is entirely sensible, since it's the only variable available in the context.

The main tech is a very anti-reflective coating; the best I've seen on a mainstream TV. It is backlit but in Art Mode the backlight is turned down (you can control how much and there is an ambient light sensor that fine-tunes your choice). The combination of low emission, quite low reflection and static content is pretty compelling for me in a lit room.

I have the white frame on the bezel against a light-coloured wall and when displaying art it's much less imposing on the room than an empty black screen. Obviously it uses more power than standby but it's also quite a bit less than a dynamic screensaver.

Don't know that I'd get another one; the bugs in Samsung's software are annoying (I just want it to display the art, or a picture from a single HDMI input, how hard can they possibly make it?) but perhaps that's standard for modern TVs.

Their Art Store promotion is annoying persistent but not actually required if you put images onto a USB and have it slurp them up; all you need to do is ignore their requests for subscription when setting it up. All that's required is to resize them to full screen with your own matte, or you can just crop the images to the right aspect ratio. Depending upon your desire for fidelity, you could also use ML image extension to get the right aspect ratio.

This doesn't get around all the other annoying bugs in the firmware of course.

If the hammer isn't mechanically coupled to the keys he could also have addressed functionality such as the width of the keys instead of just aesthetics. The standard size piano keyboard is too wide for most female hands and many men to play advanced pieces comfortably (or at all).

Hi Timo, is there a document somewhere that describes how Conduit compares feature-wise to Synapse or to the Matrix spec? It’s not clear to me if the goal to develop a fully-featured matrix server, or if there is some subset of scale or functionality that you’re aiming for; could you comment on that?

Local bucketing does all of the calculations locally using extremely performant Web Assembly code.

I don't understand; are you bundling an entire WASM environment in the SDK to interpret flags?

Whether you are developing for the web, back-end servers, or mobile devices, we've got you covered.

Is desktop client support on the roadmap?

2.5°C seems very cold for a fridge and is likely well below the standard that the EU energy label uses (for reference, FDA recommends 4°C). How warm do you keep the kitchen that it sits in?

You already own any assets that you create by default. If you type a message into a text editor, you own the copyright on it. Under Facebook's Terms of Use, you more-or-less give up that ownership when you paste it into a form on their website. There is no intrinsic limitation in Web 2.0 technology that robs us of ownership, it is business incentives that do it.

Please explain how adding a crypto wallet or blockchain into this mix changes anything meaningful.

Japan is denying that they have tightened the requirements for scrambling fighters against Chinese planes on course to enter Japanese airspace since they deployed F-35[1].

I imagine that a Chinese fighter probably costs a lot less to get into the air than an F-35 does. The airframe and engines might not have a higher MTBF than F-35 (or maybe they do) but they are certainly cheaper and easier to replace, regardless.

There's an obvious economic and industrial capability question to all of this. A player with cheap planes can erode the benefits of the technologically superior one by simply encouraging them to be used more, or forcing the decision to not use them for fear of stretching supply lines... Thus reducing the required response time when it's decided to actually deploy the expensive weapon.
