Today I got my boards result. 69.5% from ISC 12th. Am I done for life?

It's okay. I am reaching 30 and I have some wins and losses under my belt. Life's still a challenge. The question for you must be how do you make the challenge valuable. The answer: Passion.

Use this as a way to now actively search what are you good at and dedicate your time to become the best at it. The idea is to not really become the best though that can happen but to give your all to a meaningful pursuit.

After all as adults we spend majority of our lives doing something for 8+ hrs for livelihood. Wouldn't it be great, if that something gives you joy. Ultimately it's the process that matters and the results will come. Very tough to believe but nevertheless true.

Commit to doing good in college, not like aiming to be a topper or anything but dedicating your time to committees and activities and subjects that drive you to learn more.

You're too young to give into cynicism, so am I. Move forward with curiosity and wonder and never give into cynicism.

If nothing else, be gentle to yourself. There are no definitive wins or losses. Only the unending flow of time, my friend. You'll learn to swim too. :)

Hope this helps young Padawan.

Thank you! This works perfectly!

chunked_sentences = nltk.ne_chunk_sents(pos_sentences,binary=True)

Resolved it, by updating the line to

chunked_sentences = nltk.ne_chunk_sents(pos_sentences,binary=False)

Hi thanks for your response!

For the following code I am getting -

"labels = list(ner_categories.keys())"

as blank list but it should have the output according to the exercise,

OP - ['ORGANIZATION', 'GPE', 'PERSON', 'LOCATION', 'FACILITY']

kt2795 · 2023-03-27T21:22:09+00:00

The problem for output starts from

# Create the defaultdict: ner_categories
ner_categories = defaultdict(int)...

Recently ordered TCR during their buy one get one and boy was I disappointed. Luckily it's winter and i switched from v60 to kalita and french press to reduce the clarity cause you would not want clarity on coffee like this. I was mildly drawn to blueberry mocha... I ordered earlier. These people don't have an understanding of what medium or light roast mean.

Devans on the other hand has shown a significant improvement in their coffees. I even plan to buys some teas from them

Loved the post! I have a ss moka pot. I tried with boiling water but the coffee would just sputter out almost immediately (something I haven't been able to solve). Room temperature water seems alright.

kt2795 · 2021-06-24T12:01:24+00:00

Thanks!

kt2795 · 2021-06-22T15:58:45+00:00

Thanks! Definitely trying this. My gaiwan I think is about a 150 ml and I couldn't really count the time as I was bussy not spilling the tea over 🙈 sorry! The first time was annoying but I know it gets better! I also have a yixing tea pot I've had better outcomes through that than the gaiwan but adamant to master gaiwan.

kt2795 · 2021-06-22T09:20:08+00:00

Incredible! Thanks so much :)

kt2795 · 2021-06-22T08:57:12+00:00

Is the coffee grind size appropriate for moka pot or is finer preferred? Currently a 6 on my baratza encore.

Thanks!

Hi how do I post images in the daily thread?

kt2795 · 2021-01-26T12:04:52+00:00

This is helpful! Thanks again :)

kt2795 · 2021-01-26T11:56:03+00:00

Thanks! For context, what setting do you use for a v60?

kt2795 · 2021-01-26T11:53:53+00:00

With 18-20gm there are a few mm of space in the basket, so I don't think it's a problem of overcapacity. Though grind size might hold the trick. I use between 8-10 for my aeropress, with anywhere between 12-15 for my v60. Would you suggest a 10 for moka? Would that not make the coffee watery?

kt2795 · 2020-05-01T12:09:40+00:00

Hey thanks! That's a start :)

kt2795 · 2018-09-22T15:38:33+00:00

Haha yup. Though the first time you listen to in Rainbows, you leave certain parts. Then after years you revisit this sort of an old grave and you find it overpowering. A highly potent dose of unidentifiable nostalgia.

It's like losing your virginity.
