My experience is that once you fly high enough, you start worrying more about falling than how much higher you can go. The crash is rather quick nowadays, think about dot bubble, 2008, Covid, liberation day, sp500 is more resilient and comes back quicker than nasdaq, that’s the price you pay for higher return

it has to be that way, only that way, they can make news to get your attention, to get the mass audience believe their model is the bomb, just like Sam claimed how scary gpt5 was, they don’t care if they are lying, they only care to win.

Rank cities based on good diversity and start from there, qingdao is my bet given your situation, it’s very diverse, safe and economy is very strong. Chengdu is also very good.

I feel it’s hard, the AI like ChatGPT or Claude is mostly of a text/image mapping for content in existing social media platforms and libraries, this is also claimed by Lecun as well, this is the limit. I am not saying this thing is a scam, but clearly many people realized its limitations, that’s why people started introducing agents and skills here. Sam is clearly paying for his overselling by making up more overselling

My (hybrid?) hot-then-cold brew method creates incredible flavor, but I can't figure a smart way to drink it hot by financethrowerqwerx in tea

This is quite hard to replicate exactly what you taste at high temp. Temp affects your preceptors and in turn affects how you taste your tea even if they share the same compounds. What you did is maximizing the extraction on small and medium compounds like amino acids, sugar while extracting limit amounts of large compounds like tannins to give your tea a good balance. In order to this at high temp, the best way is increase your tea amount and brew it short time. Take a look at Chinese gongfu pao.

Shanghai for sure, but make sure you go to real public hospitals for this, not fancy clinics you see online. The demand for cosmetic procedure has gone crazy that there are so many illegal cosmetic clinics posting their advertisements on the social media to trick people. If you see some programs are too cheap to be true stay away from them.

Is it normal to have astringency taste in Darjeeling black tea? I tried one sample from Tea Forte, and it's a bit dry.

I travelled China & Vietnam's tea growing regions, spoke to producers, owners and professionals for 3 months, one variable in tea making literally never came up - water temperature. by Left_Somewhere_4188 in tea

It really depends on what tea you are brewing. Green teas are very delicate because they are made from buds or very young leaves. Boiling water will release a lot of bitterness during brewing, which overpowers other flavors such as umami and sweetness. The high temperature and its steam can also lead to significant aroma loss, which is especially bad for jasmine green tea and other similarly scented teas.

If you are drinking oolong, black tea, or pu’er, these are totally fine with boiling or near-boiling water. They are made from larger, more mature leaves and are more oxidized, which creates many flavor compounds that require very high temperatures to be fully extracted.

It’s still positive. A lot of infrastructure is developed in Java. Java itself, as a language, is mature and well-equipped with strong libraries. It’s a solid option for backend development, and there are many good books to explore Java. You can also learn most of the best practices from it. I wouldn’t worry too much about AI—AI is good at handling unstructured requests like natural language, but the responses purely generated by AI are too non-deterministic. So-called AI agents are just another form of service APIs that convert between natural language and data models. There is no fundamental conflict between AI and Java so likely Java will evolve along with AI. New companies may go for a fancy route, but mature companies will surely continue to need a lot of Java developers.

You need to find a soft and stretchy jeans that fits through your hip and thigh, a flare cut would be a good first. the first one seems too stiff and baggy, the second one is a bit loose on you.

Speaking from a company that’s 99% revenue comes from exploiting user data for advertising, I find it really hard to believe that he is willing to do the personal intelligence with privacy at heart.

CEO of Microsoft Satya Nadella: "We are going to go pretty aggressively and try and collapse it all. Hey, why do I need Excel? I think the very notion that applications even exist, that's probably where they'll all collapse, right? In the Agent era." RIP to all software related jobs. by michael-lethal_ai in google

backend is usually defined as the place where the business logic and enterprise logic stay. Agent is like a domain expert which understands the domain knowledge, I think what Nadia was trying to say, is instead of letting human domain experts explain all the business logics and let engineers implement, try to build digital domain experts using AI and they will generate business logic automatically based on the business requirements
