johnpublic··on Debris found came from missing Titan sub, says friend of passengers
News is "new"(s). Nothing new about car accidents
johnpublic··on If you can’t tell a story about it, it isn’t real
there's a quantum interpretation that is fairly easy to explain, it's called Pilot Wave theory. It posits that quantum effects are caused by a something akin to a bouncing ball creating a standing wave. This leads to phenomena associated with both wave and particle. Interestingly the theory fits available experimental data, as far as I am aware.

johnpublic··on Meta Open-Sources Computer Vision Foundation Model DINOv2
Basically: "commoditise your complement " applied to Facebook, means they want to comoditise the foundational tech like AI. And open source is the route to that.
johnpublic··on Open source espresso machine is one delicious rabbit hole inside another
the dough cycle takes a couple of hours, this had rest as well as mix periods though. So I am unsure of the mix duration

not particularly. The bread machine is doing the baking though, so it likely takes time to heat up and does not get too hot.

my bread machine sourdough recipe:

1. add 500g strong white,2 tbl spoons starter, 300ml water, 10g salt to bread machine

2. start dough mix programme (go for longest duration one available)

3.leave for 24hrs or until has doubled in size

4. bake for 70 mins

Not the best sour dough bread. But I think still quite delicious. And really very low effort.

johnpublic··on Rising rent, not poverty, is the real driver of homelessness
A friend of mine who recently moved to the US from the UK put it to me like this: "imagine one state says they will pay out benefits without a permanent address. Where do you think the homeless are going to move to?"
johnpublic··on Replace the “very” in your sentence
actually, the website says "very different = distinct". So "it's distinct from what you intended."

Which I actually prefer.

johnpublic··on Python for Data Analysis, 3rd Edition
You can save so much time and effort using the Google colab notebooks rather than setting up python on your own machine (as is recommended in this guide)

I can't see any of them going for the IBM grad scheme though

Pity my blog died so quickly! Can anyone recommend a more robust host? Ideally one with low set up effort.

It did have a solution. However, the packs all contained different information. Once this information was shared, an individual could solve the puzzle fairly easily. Group dynamics tended to block this though.
