I would have thought that they remove the Lignin and replaced it with a (structurally better) resin.

Fair enough... Honestly, I wasn't using Cursor for a long time because I thought that, as a MS project, it wouldn't be available on Linux.

Same. It's usually very good at generating greenfield projects from scratch, but once you get going you have to manually provide all context to get good results.

Not true and if only then by choice. VSCode/Cursor run natively under Linux.

Yeah, we do that. Given that most home appliances use more than 800W (even in Eco modes) we often use more than our production. E.g. our washing machine uses 1000W over a prolonged period of time which would be perfect to run on a sunny day

We actually do have a Balkonkraftwerk im Garten :-) Now that the sun is out for longer periods each day we are "wasting" energy to the grid a lot. I don't really see how to capture that energy though. 1. Buying a battery quic

Yes, but ... A PV system is not accessible to many. We have a small 800W system in our garden, but for many the price or just getting permissions from their landlords makes a PV system unfeasible. Also, if you are heating with solar you cou

Problem being that electric water heating is a lot more expensive in e.g. Germany where gas prices are lower than electricity prices per kWh delivered. (~12 vs. 39 eurocent per kWh) So blindly converting a gas water heater to electric will

> It is the electric car with the lowest consumption (12.5 kW / 100 km) That is actually one of my pet peeves ... some basic math gives you: 12.5 kWh/100km * 0.4-0.8 €/kW = 5-10 €/100km [1] 12.5 kWh/100km

Iirc Comanche used a ray tracing approach to render the terrain [1]. No Voxels there, just a 2D height map that is sampled. (They called it "VoxelSpace" ... so some confusion is warranted) [1] https://github.com/s-

This ... ... since 30 years (of not longer) it was the "hottest year of all times" some where on Germany. One or two years in a row? Random chance ... Every, single, year for 30 years? Yeah something is definitely wrong here.

With weed I am mostly concerned with the second order effects. I know a handful of long term users (mid-30s to mid-40s with decade long use) and the pattern that I see is that all of them just don't care about their life. They just nev

It's not the clutch ... It's 100+ €/h for a skilled worker who replaced that clutch.

Yep ... To the point where we had first year university students (20yo-ish), who never used a laptop or desktop pc before.

There actually was a podcast around that concept when (I think) GPT2 was current. Basically one generated story per day. Absurd in places.

Confusing to the points where I had (university) students that told me "I _only_ have the file in Excel [and therefore can not share it with you]". That statement confused me until I left academia and was forced to work with MS Of

Stable Diffusion did cost 500k to train ... I wouldn't call that "minimal effort". (And that is only the computation cost.)

Yeah, there are some good rhymes in there. Actually better rhymes than those ChatGPT delivers if asked for lyrics or poems.

I spend some time in Cogmind and can confirm that it is one of the most aesthetical pleasing ones. But these days I don't really have the time to really get into games and after discovering only little of the lore I lost interest :-&#x

Honestly, for a long time this was the standard way of learning in academia. Lecturers gave lectures and everything else was on the students to find out (from books). Right now we reached the other end of the pendulum swing, where everythin

Hmm ... Good question. I would assume that JAX and XLA is based on LLVM (like everything else these days) and that you could probably grab the IR at some point to compile it to your target.
