Indeed, John Wick. And yes, Hard Boiled is the business, full stop. Savage vid.

 
 
Of course the Technivorm Moccamaster came out on top.

That said, there are SCA Certified makers, e.g., Oxo’s 9-Cup maker, or makers from Sage/Breville, et cetera, which get the job done for less money.

For the price of a Moccamaster, I have the Oxo 9-cup and a Giannini Giannina...and I would buy the same if I had to do it all over again.

Make sure to save for a suitable grinder.


Cheers,
Ian
 
 
 
 
Ellen so in the pocket...

 

I think it's actually kind of sad when people take MBTI types and even Jung's works too seriously, claiming there's something "scientifically" or even "objectively" true about it. They strip it of its historical origins and cultural biases and treat it as some kind of authority on human behavior.

MBTI should be fun, and, at it's most serious application, can be used as a personal tool or a way to appreciate people's differences. What concerns me a lot, especially on forums like this, is when people use it as a way to judge someone on a personal level, giving their personal biases and prejudices more fuel and agency to discriminate as opposed to what typing like this was originally meant for.

Your personal bias is exactly that: your own "preference" for what you like or dislike about a person. MBTI doesn't give those preferences, in a social sense, any more or less legitimacy than what a person is able to dish out or take...

Just fantastic. I cried at the end.

In the late ‘90s I wrote a program that could recognize the vowel formants a, e, I, o, and u. I knew I could synthesize them via three bandpass filters, adjusting the frequencies for each vowel. By doing a real-time low-resolution FFT, I could check the amplitude of the partials, match, and voila. And it worked on any voice.

But full speech? I know nothing about plosives and dental fricatives.

I gotta say, that box was kinda sexy...black slab with VFD...hell yes. 🔥

Thanks for sharing.

Best,
Ian
 

I love how this demonstrates that AI has no I, and is just a sequence of transforms—often convolution kernels.

But number games are fun. Matrices!
