    The jargon is precise, the translation can provide intuition. You often need both to get the full depth of a concept across. Good academic communication should be a mix of both, with introductions/overviews/conclusions/remarks interspersed along the way to help and conduct the reader, while the precise elements are also given in parallel to explain the technical aspects. Often in presentations the hardest bit is determining the level of precision that is expected by the audience. And usually, the format is intuition first, precise, jargon-heavy details afterwards.










  • The metaphor of the open seminar is misleading. In an open seminar, the presenter stake a claim to the work, even if incomplete. In this case, the work was in private repositories. A more precise methodology would be the AI overhearing the authors discussing in their office and using that as base for a proof. This is even sneakier because there has been no public claim of the method or results by the authors.

  • It started because my partner went fully caffeine free, so we went exploring. Up to now, this has been the choice we gave come back to the most often. I like the taste. It’s not coffee but it scratches the same itch.

    I might soon post another set up for another coffee replacement we have been enjoying ;) [drumrolls, suspense…]


  • It’s less acidic than coffee but similarly bitter, so while I drink my coffee often black and without sugar for the chicory I find having a sweetener almost a necessity. This is a blend with rye and barley, that makes it more round. I agree with the other commenter that it tastes a bit woody. It has similar earthy tones to coffee, but I wouldn’t say it replicates well coffee. It’s its own thing.

    The mug is form a company, so it just says the name of the company in binary.
