thanks. Yes this is in line with my original thought too.
this makes me lean towards the fork even more.
Thank you for concurring with me. This is also the explanation i could come up with while observing food mixer blades(they resemble a fork more than a spoon), tough the flow is more turbulent in that case.
Yes i think shaking may induce good dissolution and mixing and may be higher intensity than mixing using spoon or fork.

My thought was on the lines of non turbulent mixing with spoon or fork, entirely on the basis of mixing efficiency.

Yes. This makes the debate futile haha.
Haha.. yes.. missed this candidate.
While i do understand that a larger surface area of the spoon will "flap" the liquid around better, but assuming similar motion with a fork might mean a more heterogeneous mix.

Of course we haven't mentioned the intensity of mixing. A food mixer's blades appear more closer to a fork than a spoon.

Thank you .. will do this experiment.

Ask HN: Spoon vs. Fork for mixing sugar in milk/tea/coffee

Generally speaking,between a spoon and a fork, which shape would induce better dissolution and diffusion of sugar into milk/tea/coffee ?I am wondering about this becauseForks: Their tines (usually 3-4 tines) should theoretically cause more agitation and enable better dissolution and diffusion of sugar with more "churns" while stirring.Spoons: They act as a shallow bowl and help in serving sugar...

Pretty cool.

I did that to a 2009 mac mini ( with an external USB-SSD) .. and it came back to life. Still use it for running some jobs.

This is really amazing. Pretty insightful. Thank you.
Ahh. thanks. Was looking for comparisons for a quick note program on this thread.

thank you, these are very helpful.
really cool project..!

Ask HN: Counting every unique sight in a lifetime

Pondering while walking that our eyes fall on innumerable objects, places, faces, even digital media like photos, videos and so many things around us (both physical and digital subjects).While there is some work done on how much of it can we remember at a given time, do you wonder how big our entire visual vocabulary be if we count every object, face, place (any subject that can be uniquely,...

Australian National University hosts a random number generator based on quantum fluctuations in the vacuum : https://qrng.anu.edu.au/

Question : With respect to breaking cryptography, today's cryptographically secure pseudo random number generators (CSPRNGs) seem capable. What threat scenarios would require true (or near-true) random generators?

This is a great idea. I assume that inference costs will be higher for the time being, but it does aim to solve a real problem. Kudos..!

I use Zotero and really like it, especially when working with others. This was the first thing that came into my mind on this thread.

Thanks, this is the link I've been looking for with regards to this thread.
In certain countries like India and Sri Lanka, fermented rice and lentil cakes (Idli) are extremely popular too as a healthy vegetarian option that is good for the gut.
Re:Lego price per part over the years – Brick Insights on Tuesday March 19, 2024 @11:13PM (#39762569)
This is really cool. Thank you.
Nice idea and clean implementation. I guess this something that can be implemented with discord/community channel new user verification (bot checkers) among other uses.

The 2013 Zeiler and Fergus paper also explains this based on activations during training of the network resulting in feature detection across layers.

Greg Brockman from OpenAI inserted the program drive for a game of Dota vs Dendi (popular Dota 2 player). Really memorable.
Re:Kdenlive 24.02 open source video editor released on Tuesday March 12, 2024 @05:45AM (#39677690)
Been using Kdenlive for a while now and it is really good for all of the basic video editing i need. So far I've been updating it manually. Would anyone know if there is an auto-update feature available within Kdenlive?
Thank you for the non-paywalled link.

Yep. I read chapter 10 too to start with, really nice content on Transformers and self-attention.
This helped my understanding of VC/founder relation much better. Thanks for putting a broader perspective to the situation described in the original post.
