Yep, there are some great performance mods for Fabric. This ecosystem of mods is not quite as thorough as paper, but it is improving over time and there's no technical reason Fabric modding can't be used to bring about scaled-up Minecraft without hiccups.
Not quite the same thing, and I meant for tall buildings.

Venice is built entirely on a clay swamp, the wooden piles support the full weight of absolutely massive stone structures including St Marks Square, the tower and cathedral.

Given that the relatively short wooden piles combined with clay produce such strength... what's stopping very tall wooden buildings existing?
I guess a more specific term would be “composite”.

Has Sweden never heard of the USA? They are acting like this is some magical new technology.

The US builds tons of buildings from wood. It works just fine, and the US does not have more fires than other places.

However concrete is better for apartments - it blocks sounds better.

And I'm not sure why they think building a wooden building is quieter, there's tons of noise - saws, nail guns, air compressors.
The article says that 70% of them hadn't bothered to bring their ID. Hardly the result of draconian laws, is it?

It also doesn't say how many of the 30% actually had the right to vote. It only says that they "brought a type that was not accepted".

I did social drinking and in the beginning it was cool. At some point however it became really boring and I stopped completely (well ok in 10 years since I'd stopped I might have drank 3 glasses of wine). I still hang out with the same friends and there are no problems at all.

Active preaching of alcohol, this is the dumbest advice I’ve ever heard, maybe just after some people preaching for pornography. A drunk you is objectively not any better than a sober one, rather far worse. You have one life, don’t waste it.
I think the abstract point is that you bought something at a certain price and would like it to not be devalued, by whatever criteria you used to value it at that price in the first place.
The tokenization algorithms I encountered all had around 50000 tokens, which fits nicely into (and makes good use of) a 16-bit number. Is this just a coincidence or does it have advantages for the token to be a 16-bit representable number?
Tokens are integers that map to text tokens.

Tokens are part of words, approx 4 characters or 75% of word.

It gives a list of tokens with their probabilities on output.

It's a short list with highest probabilities.

Temperature controls which tokens to pick - usually 0% = top one only (consistent results), closer to 100% means more randomness (more "creativity").
This is very dependent on location. There are places where, eg, the buildings from the 60s are rather well built, but the later buildings are terrible. It's not the age that matters. My previous apartment was brand new building, but cheaply built to cash in on certain developments nearby (new transport links, new faculty building at the university). I doubt it will still be there in twenty years. My current building is much older but much nicer to live in (thicker walls, better ventilation, no creaks and whistles when the wind blows the wrong way). I think it must be 40 years old or more.

If youre both managing a property portfolio as well as building on it, free capital gains for no work are a pretty good deal.

Sure, if you're a small builder you want to build ASAP for cash flow reasons. However over the past decade both the UK and Irish building markets have become dominated by REITs who do in fact benefit from increased land prices in the absence of building.

As writing this in a 140y old wooden house in a neighbourhood of alikes (some of them even several stories high, consisting of many apartments), I would say that lifespan of 200+ years can be reached easily, as long the foundation and roof are checked regularly and maintained properly.
Of course the modern wooden element engineering and it's lifespan is a mystery.

When that Python interpreter is running on the computer doing model-predictive control of your country's natural gas pipelines, or the plant that mixes your mayonnaise.

Just so you know, the Python interpreter is already there in those places, and so is Internet access, because suits like their dashboards with real-time graphs.

Is there any sort of guide for a webdev to learn enough c++/c/assembly/hardware knowledge to understand this sort of blogpost deeply?

I am vaguely aware of some of the topics discussed in here like how when he mentions setting the write and read indices to the cache size he is referencing the L1 cache on the processor and how the L1 and L2 caches are different and every step up in memory on the processor is a order of magnitude difference in time to access. I know this about as well as the fact that I know that the stratosphere and troposphere are separate from the atmosphere, in that I know they exist but I don't understand all the implications.

I'd like to learn more of this(relative to my own software layer) deep magic but I don't know where to start.
The best part of an empty bar to me isn’t just the lack of noise, but total freedom to drink slowly. Delays the effects of inebriation and there is more time to relax and contemplate all your choices in life.

This is the scaled up equivalent of an external laptop AC/DC power brick. It’s faster because it’s supplying much, much more power. Multiple homes worth.

Batteries need DC to charge and putting the transformer in the external fast charger means the one in the car itself only needs to be sized for lower power domestic charging.

But that's not what this article is about, it's about attempting to create some type of AGI, highly experimental seemingly non-aligned, which is connected to...the internet. Which is why I do agree with others, even if this is a a weak attempt (I have no idea, not an AI researcher) if it was to be successful could be hyper destructive.

The project seems really quite loose and the author seems to be lacking in awareness with regards to the consequences of such a project. I do think others are right in saying, we really should understand more bout where people can and will try to take these ideas before we keep putting models on the internet for consumption by just anyone.
I live in such a building. Only the facade is hundreds of years old, the rest has been completely redone multiple times over its lifetime. The entire building gets stripped, including the floors. New floors are placed, then the walls, then the interior walls. Even the foundation was completely replaced once.

I wonder if your idea of what going to a bar is has been coloured by TV, movies etc. It doesn’t have to be glamorous. Most bars do not have a dress code. I don’t usually dress differently to go for a beer than I do when I am working.

Interesting perspective, but I think it’s a little conceited to claim you haven’t missed out on anything because you have deeper conversations with people during the day.

I do agree that it’s an awful drug with terrible health consequences. Living the healthiest life possible as often as possible is not necessarily the best way to live, in my opinion. Of course best is subjective.

Another way is to realize waves of different frequency are literally orthogonal vectors. Also, RGB colors form a literal color space. So at the cost of sacrificing normally colored objects, you can have rainbow banding in the 4th direction. Imagine along the 4th dimension there's a hallway with evenly spaced lightbulbs tinted in RGB such that looking down the hallway you see rainbows. If you are moving in the direction of the 4th dimension, these rainbows will appear to be moving like waves rushing towards you from the vanishing point. If you are moving perpendicular to it, the bands of rainbow colors will remain constant relative to your motion. In general, the apparent speed of the background color banding patterns will be proportional to the component of your motion in the direction of the 4th d. The rings of rainbows are easily spaced, so looking at the scene you can tell how far along the W axis it is by seeing how tightly the rings are bunched (must be approaching vanishing point if they seem close) and also by just eyeballing how often the rainbow has repeated between your position and the object, judging distance as if you were counting floor tiles.
I also grew up in a family and cultural setting that didn't involve any alcohol at all until I was about 25.

I've since done almost a complete 180, and now it's very unlikely that a week goes by without alcohol consumption of some sort. I have tonnes of fun and it makes social interactions so much easier for someone like me. And pretty much all of my close social circles have a reasonably healthy relationship with booze, so it's not like we're going out and getting plastered on weekends.

I guess what I'm trying to say is: there's all sorts.

Edited to add: What 'contrarian1234 said in a sibling comment as well.

Re: getting drunk on alcohol free beer. I remember one time in college at a party when I drank a large cup of Cola or Fanta something. Then colleagues laughed and told me it was half vodka.

In like 5 minutes I could barely walk. Then they laughed again, told me there was no vodka, they were joking. A minute later I was perfectly sober.

Then they laughed again and said the joke was that there's no vodka, actually it was. Predictably, minutes later I was intoxicated again.

To this day I don't know if there was vodka involved or not.
You must not remember the 70's.
I think it's quite normal to live in a 100+ year old building in a European city center. Though they're usually made from brick and not concrete.

And do people who have built their own house usually demolish it and move on after just 30-40 years? That's when you've just paid off your mortgage, heh.

At my parents' house, they just replaced the roof, which was well over 30 years old. The house itself is over 100 years old and completely fine to live in.
They do but it’s a matter of time
constraints. Pace. Deal flow. Take too long to scrutinise a good thing and it’ll be snapped up from under you. The group that poached might have even less time to do proper due diligence.

Your concerns are valid. Statistically you are in greater danger every time you cross a busy city street. People do run red lights, lose control, etc.

Talking about heart ops. I have a friend who had a complete heart transplant around your age. After 28 years, that heart started stiffening up, etc so he's had a second heart transplant and doing Ok. With COVID there were some concerns about his immune system, etc. But all under control and he is going well.

Another friend has had two heart valve "repairs" (I'm not sure exactly that entailed). He is back to running, playing squash, taking the dog for long walks.

The best option is to ask to talk to some of your surgeon's former patients. From what I have observed, there are such groups based around hospitals. I think their experiences are more likely to be relevant to your questions.

As for any ticking noise. I would be far more concerned if it should stop.

Yes! The old refrain, "they don't come with a manual!" is such a load of ignorant self-serving garbage. There are plenty of resources to learn from. Ideally, not mommy-bloggers who misrepresent parenting techniques.

At the other end, modern parents have so many restrictions and expectations put on them.
In the UK, property developers are forced by the govt to build a certain proportion of social housing into their developments, or to subsidise the building of social housing elsewhere.
Obviously, this means the high end property is less desirable (because big spenders are forced to live next-door to social housing tenants). And the social housing built will be boxy and low standard, so again, less desirable, and unprofitable for the developer.

Whenever the govt distorts free markets, it creates shortages. And housing is one of those markets where we REALLY need the private sector to be allowed to build properties that will meet true market demands, rather than properties that will satisfy govt ideologies.

If housebuilding was unconstrained, there would be more of it, which would be good for people at both ends of the market. More high end property means lower prices at the high end, more people moving up out of mid-scale housing, and so on. Prices would fall across the board, and eventually no one would need social housing. We’d ALL benefit.
I don't consider that space a competitor, it's just a fan-run forum for people to discuss some gaming stuff.

I still consider the growth of the forum as a net positive (because it's a cool space which has produced cool things in the past), but since it's running on spare time and money, our ability to absorb new users is limited. And won't scale really quickly, because we don't plan on making money out of it.

An age old question... Is the code wrong for not being optimal, or is the compiler/JIT wrong for not optimizing it? I've seen optimizing compilers like clang, gcc, rust optimize constructs similar to this to the same machine code. Ideally you want your high-level stuff that makes code easier to understand to be completely transparent and not have a performance impact when the code actually runs.
Ach, I understand, there are a lot of issues with alcohol. Had quite a journey myself.

That said, I liked the article and might give this a go some time. My hearing is lousy for the same reasons as the author.

Whilst I don't drink regularly I have many friends who do. My favourite place to have a catch up and a deep talk is on the hill walking my dog, but that's a bit intense for some friends, and cafes, restaurants and such can also be pretty noisy.

Judging others' drinking misses the point of the article. As we age, we need different spaces and mechanisms for socialising. This is one I'd not thought of, and I enjoyed the author's solution and story.
Historically, I don't exactly think women were loved, respected or cherished by men, at least not all the time, nor how we think of it in modern terms and I don't think contraception is the cause of it.

Women in many cultures and times were just seen as baby machines and failing to have children often led to intense shame especially if the women failed to produce the right gender. And for those with unwanted pregnancy - suicide was a common option either by failed abortion, or trying to make ends meet in other ways, or just straight suicide I read quite a lot of stories of it. People made things work or just didn't and finished it quickly, they were expected to and I'd say that the concept of love was a lot different then how we think of it now. People did things because they were supposed to (or were forced too), not always because they wanted to.
You can look at any time in history and see this, the Bible has a ton of examples of poor women in bad situations (Leah & Rachel, Hagar, Bathsheba, etc). It also even brings up when to abort a child as a way to prove guilt or innocence of sleeping around (Ordeal of the bitter water.) But you find concubine stories, slave stories, multiple wives all over the world, ... Women historical were often treated more like children or objects then treasure. The Bible also shows cases of women in power too (Deborah, Miriam, etc) and the love of them is mixed. I'm just saying you might think it's a 'modern problem' but it's always been a part of history. Conception has always been around too even if not well understood, the rich having the best access.

I do agree that relationships nowadays can be much cheaper though but for particular generations like millennials for example sex in general is at an all time historical low. I'd say in general more people are afraid of relationships then anything due to money, family trauma or many other cases be it America, Europe and Asian countries. It's more stress and fear related then anything I'd say besides the devaluing of children (in cities they are an expense, on a farm an asset). Plus with many families separated because of work, it's harder to rise children with lack of community in many places.
Don't know about ice cream specifically, but for rum cream, they use rum essence rather than rum liquor. You'd need so much liquor to get the flavor people expect, it wouldn't be creamy anymore. I expect the same is true of other rum-flavoured things. Rum essence can be alcohol-based, but propylene glycol also is common and works just fine.

Seeing this website here made me chuckle. Mr. Hörenberg was a teacher at my school. He once held a "guest lecture" within my CS class where he told us about his hobby of breaking engima codes and how his software worked. He once used multiple of our schools computer rooms during summer break to run his software. Luckily for him, we had CAD classes and therefore appropriate workstations.
Some of it is explained here:
