It depends on how much caffeine is in your cup. Rather than measuring the size of a cup, I would go by the amount of coffee, as in the weight of the beans, used to brew it. The actual amount of caffeine is not as easy to measure, and even for the same kind of beans, there is natural variation.

For a traditional Italian espresso, about 7g of coffee beans are extracted. For a third-wave double espresso, it's usually 18g or more.

In my opinion, 10x7g is a lot. 2x12g is more than enough for me.

I feel this is more precise than the ml cup measuremnts, but if you wanted to be really precise, you'd have to specify the type of beans used (the caffeine content varies widely) and even the brewing method https://oldchicagocoffee.com/coffee-bean-caffeine-content-by....

And - there is an influence - even in the region the beans are grown. In the link I provided they even go so far as to differentiate as to genetics of the beans.


caffeine extraction is largely a function of time in contact with water. Espresso is quite quick brew, so has less caffeine than other brewing methods (yes, there are plenty of other factors)

There is no realistic scenario where, no matter your extractions or bean selections, 6-10 shots of espresso a day is not an enormous amount of caffeine

A grande americano at Starbucks is a 16 oz drink with three shots of espresso. Have one in the morning and one in the afternoon and you are at six shots of espresso. That doesn't seem all that enormous to me.

75mg per shot = 450mg caffeine

That's a bit over the recommended limit of 400mg a day the Mayo Clinic, FDA, etc. recommend. Not sure it it qualifies as 'enormous' or not.


The amount of caffeine that humans require to live is 0 mg. So ...

Irrelevant to the question (How much is 'enormous'?).

It was a slight attempt to highlight that the conversation about a purely subjective thing is missing the point entirely. In the context of scientific discovery trying to qualify the outcome based on an individual's personal interpretation of descriptive words is a fool's errand. Attempting to justify one's personal habits or predilections is squarely in the flat earther camp of scientific belief.

The page doesn’t actually say that explicitly

True, Apple's developer and support pages are not all fully up-to-date or explicit. From the macOS 26.4 release notes (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-note...):

> There will continue to be support for older, unmaintained gaming titles leveraging Rosetta along with software running Intel binaries in Linux VMs.


That's just your reading comprehension.

They are reporting on an anti-solar NIMBY movement and mention how the far-right is pushing the issue. That doesn't mean they share the same opinion.


Manual dependency injection is fine, but it doesn't scale. Especially when you start refactoring things and dependencies need to be moved around.

The other issue is dynamic configuration. How do you handle replacing certain dependencies, e.g. for testing, or different runtime profiles? You could try to implement your own solution, but the more features you add, the closer you'd get to a custom DI framework. And then you'd have an actual mess, a naive non-standard solution for a solved problem, because you didn't want to read the manual for the standard implementation.

By the way, Spring dependency injection is mainly based on types. Annotations are not strictly necessary, you can interact with the Spring context in a procedural/functional manner, if you think that makes it better. You can also configure MVC (synchronous Servlet-based web) or Webflux (async web) routes functionally.

When a bean is missing, the app will fail to start, and you will get an error message explaning what's missing and which class depends on it. The easiest way to ensure this doesn't happen is to keep the empty @SpringBootTest test case that comes with the template. It doesn't have any assertions, but it will spin up a full Spring context, and fail if there is a configuration problem.

The only complicated part about Spring Boot is how the framework itself can be reconfigured through dependency injection. When you provide a certain "bean", this can affect the auto-configuration, so that other beans, which you might expect, are no longer automatically created. To debug this behavior, check out the relevant AutoConfiguration class (in your IDE, use the "go to class" shortcut and type something like FooAutoConfi..., e.g. JdbcAutoConfiguration).

In a good codebase, the configuration itself would be tested. For instance, if you did something a bit more complicated like connecting two JDBC databases at the same time, you would test that it read the configuration from the right sources and provides the expected beans.


Fusion power that uses steam turbines to convert heat into electricity will be more expensive than solar/wind


Only if we first colonize the Solar System, so land becomes too cheap to meter too.


This makes sense if you assume that

1) Foreigners are all trying to punch you

2) Your government is not

3) The FCC is acting in the citizens' best interest and this is actually the best way to increase security for router consumers.

Are 2 and 3 valid assumptions at the moment? In the extremely polarized US, that probably depends on your political affiliation. From the outside, I can't tell if this is a power grab, protectionism or just a decision I cannot get behind. Vulnerabilities and backdoors in US network equipment prove that "Made in USA" does not necessarily improve security. What the ban does improve is the administration's control over what's sold.


None of these assumptions are required to avoid hypocrisy.


> Is Google search engine that leads to NY Times or Fox News or Wikipedia and makes us manually choose sources as per our biases "better" than Google's Gemini engine that summarizes content from all the above sources and gives an average answer?

That's not what Google's AI mode does, though. It presents a bunch of sources along the answer, but in my experience, the sources in many cases don't actually back up the claims generated by the LLM.


Yeah, it would be interesting to know how much work is spent on it. I sometimes submit sites when I am targeted by a campaign, but I'm not sure if they end up in their deny-list.


Banks are slowly moving away from their old COBOL systems. It's about cost as much as it's about catching up with the neo-bank competition.

The main thing that makes this difficult is that in most cases the new system is supposed to be more capable. Transactional batch processing systems are replaced with event-based distributed systems. Much more difficult to get right.


The PDF is digitally signed with a cert from the Finnish „Digital and Population Data Services Agency“


I think it is safe to assume, given the buzz all around the donut battery, that VTT would immediately release a statement if this report was fake.

edit: https://www.vttresearch.com/en/news-and-ideas/donut-lab-comm...


Unfortunately that's not the same as VTT.

VTT would be more like "National Institute of Scientific Research"


Well there's this press release they would publish a report: https://www.vttresearch.com/en/news-and-ideas/donut-lab-comm... with as author the same name on the digital signature "Petri Söderena" for Organisation "Teknologian tutkimuskeskus VTT" and the chain is attested by "DVV Organisational Certificates - G4E" which is on the EU/EEA trusted list: https://eidas.ec.europa.eu/efda/trust-services/browse/eidas/... (by name and key signature). Looks like a legit VTT document to me.


It says its sign by this guy: https://www.vttresearch.com/en/news-and-ideas/petri-soderena...

He has an e-mail address and a phone number, I doubt that if the report is falsified it won't come out.


I just found a video of the same guy selling some magical AGI thing 9 months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilgJKjiDLV8

Promising the moon and stars just like with Donut.

Donut Labs also had a video presentation of some kind of automotive design software that also sounded too good to be true.

This guy is a serial scammer.


Elon Musk sells self driving cars since 10 years that don't self drive but his cars are actually decent cars and his rockets are revolutionary. Also, who isn't selling magical AGI since the last 4 years?

I think i will judge the battery and the magical AGI separately. The guy also sells magical motors that appear to be real with people riding motorbikes with those motors.
