The options are Teflon and brass. Teflon offers less friction of course which makes the extrusion more reliable. Brass leaves a bit more texture on the surface of the pasta which is beneficial for getting sauce to stick to the pasta.

Reply to comment by TheLianeonProject in TSMC reportedly building 1nm chip fab in northern Taiwan by Saltedline
I don't think you knew that given the first sentence in your original comment. I didn't either. After some quick googling, looks like the 5nm process has transistors spaced around 51nm at minimum.

Reply to A recently submitted paper has demonstrated that Stable Diffusion can accurately reconstruct images from fMRI scans, effectively allowing it to "read people's minds". by iboughtarock
A few things to note based on the comments here.
(1) This isn't particularly new or noteworthy. This kind of thing has been done for at least a decade. They claim better results than previous efforts, but their examples don't appear categorically better. Setting aside previous efforts, the results here are just not that good. They kinda get a sense of what the participants are viewing, but that's it.
(2) This isn't mind-reading in the colloquial sense that people are interpreting it as. They are using brain activity while participants are actually viewing images, not while they are imagining them. That is a big difference and is much easier than anything that would generally be considered "mind-reading".
(3) Even if it was mind-reading, and even if it actually was high-fidelity, this requires a million dollar MRI machine and having a participant basically bolted onto a sled for a couple hours. All the comments by people talking about how we're all doomed and privacy is gone seem to be missing that fact.
