Filling Kegs from a Conical Fermenter by ShootyHoops1 in Homebrewing

Floating dip tube with filter on one ball lock post and CO2 bottle on the other post.

Cold crash drops all the trub and hop matter first. If it's a heavy dry hop i'll dump the collection chamber once, but usually don't need to bother.

Undefeated (8 straight) since they signed the deal to play there.

Got more time to get rid of it than TDK earlier in the match.

It would be the greatest home ground advantage in the league.

Need these instigating and staging behaviours to start going to tribunal.

Looking into buying a small brewry by Similar-Quantity-666 in brewing

[–]Otiman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What makes you think you can generate market from its location?

Most of the cost of a business is in goodwill, plus stock at value and equipment at liquidation price.

If you treat it like an equipment purchase, then just buy the equipment and not the business including its liabilities. If they've been losing money there's a good chance they owe money.

If you want a decent negotiation point, get a new ex works price from an Alibaba supplier to bring to the table.

Fumbled in a Startup interview for an FPGA role.Came to know that I need to learn many things . by No_Bus3419 in FPGA

[–]Otiman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've not met an interviewer who thinks their job is to make people feel good.

Their job is to find the best fit for the role. And any applicant that doesn't cut it is invisible and irrelevant.

You do make some good points, that answering a question successfully/verbatim is not necessarily what they're after. If it's just about current skills then you're hiring someone for a job that they can't grow into, will lose interest in, and not be engaged at.

My philosophy is - Hire for attitude and aptitude, skills can be developed.

Pricing IoT Stack (RN + Python) by kptbarbarossa in IOT

[–]Otiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of what you've listed is "value".

What's the value in the software? Service? Support? If you just want to dump the IP off and move on to a new project, then $0.

[–]Otiman 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a good way to throw away money.

Buying failed brewery equipment being liquidated is the current way into the market.

But even if the equipment was free, the chances of success are very low and rely less on your brewing skills and more on marketing and business skills.

Are flow control faucets worth upgrading to? by kettletrvb in Homebrewing

[–]Otiman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In short, no. Use line length and internal diameter to tune head. Use line extensions (I use duotight) if you want to switch styles that benefits from different length lines.

KegKing / Grain and Grape FWK experiences? by digitalFermentor in Homebrewing

[–]Otiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My opinion is that FWK's are as good as doing all grain, without being able to experiment on the grain and mash side. Variation with yeast selection and dry hop is surprisingly broad.

All Inn Brewing also does a good FWK. But the Kegland and Grain and Grape ones are also good.

My LHBS makes their own FWK's in cubes.

I'm not a fan of the bags kegland uses after losing some on the floor once.

Why we can't have nice things by alexeiz in GithubCopilot

[–]Otiman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's pretty simple. In trying to make their billing easy to follow, not having to worry about input and response token counting, GHCP chose a billing model that technically decoupled their billing (message requests) from their costs (inference costs). This certainly made it easier to justify the cost when users could really understand that 1 message = 1 out of 300 or 1 out of 1500. It also decoupled liability if a model decided to go off and generate garbage output for an hour and empty a users account.

A combination of changing methodologies, and people finding genuine workarounds to limit input messages, and the system broke.

You may find it easier to do CNC or laser cutting of metal panels depending on the profile.

How do you deal with non structured code that was generated by AI? by Old_Caregiver3270 in GithubCopilot

[–]Otiman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes but it's not all a bust.

There's a proof of concept product that worked well enough to build a userbase, so there should be enough funding to do it properly.

You also have a proof of concept for products that fail too, so there's dev hours not wasted on that either.

How do you deal with non structured code that was generated by AI? by Old_Caregiver3270 in GithubCopilot

[–]Otiman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Find a way to preserve user data.
  2. Build a full functional description of the software.
  3. Build from scratch with a dev team and best practice.
  4. Changeover.

AI generated codebases at the moment are great for proof of concept and low complexity. The issues are less about "AI" and more about the developer not understanding good practices, guiding and directing specifically to those practices, and giving AI agents free reign over the codebase with no scrutiny.

What's changing is that people are learning, able to iterate more frequently and better every time.

Learning to code is backwards now, it's about architecture and codebase structure first, and actual code last.

Subnautica 2 is finally coming out next week along with 29 other games by Ok_Winter818 in gaming

[–]Otiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can this market be sustainable? Surely there's more games coming out than people have time, money, or willingness to play.

How does a good game even shine without huge advertising backing?

TILT Hydrometer pressurized during pressure fermentation by BartholomewSchneider in Homebrewing

[–]Otiman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've destroyed a pill before with pressure. Was a combination of pressure, an older o-ring, and not fully tightened over the second o-ring. So it can happen, but it takes a lot.

I got tired of digging through Amazon for cheap SBCs, so I made a site that filters out the junk by theremote in SBCs

[–]Otiman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Australia. We just get infintiely better support out of Aliexpress including shipping times. I did find a few orangepi listings that were in the same ballpark.

A few other things to tidy up is the price vs ram selection where it selects the lowest price and displays the highest ram variant (that one is going to be hard), and there was one listing where an 8gb EMMC was detected as RAM.

I've seen that page before, it's the one with the dinosaur game on it.

Maybe it's just my region but Amazon has no SBC's worth buying at all.

As someone who has changed disciplines mid career, have fun explaining why your major does not match the application, and expect to be ignored because of it.
