there is a parallel between managing context windows and hard real-time system engineering. A context window is a fixed-size memory region. It is allocated once, at conversation start, and cannot grow. Every token consumed — prompt, respons

yeah, so the turn in EU towards renewable energy is driving fwd the business of earthen construction. our core (validated) product is printing earthen acoustic barriers at ~4-5m3/hr. panels from loam are a great alternative to gypsum;

A huge share of the gypsum used in drywall is *synthetic gypsum* — a byproduct of flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) at coal-fired power plants. When SO₂ is scrubbed from exhaust using limestone, the reaction produces calcium sulfate dihydrate,

in usage yes, in terms of active development its a very different story

yes, it does and its realtime. personally, I use typst locally, but the online editor utilises WASM, so if I'm not mistaken, the rendering is real-time and handled by the front-end.

by jf___ 2y ago
no the depth of graphics API's in latex is really something, and an area that is underdeveloped in typst. it'll take a considerable time for typst to be on par.

by jf___ 2y ago
no, I pointed towards the joy of writing in a proper IDE. but to your point: overleaf is a key enabler of latex and its cool to see typst offers a similar route

I'm not arguing the relevance of latex, but merely underscore the joy of wielding that particular tool

by jf___ 2y ago
the masochism of latex is becoming increasingly irrelevant with every typst [1] release. no going back once you experience realtime rendering of your document, and support in VS Code is stellar IMO. [1] http://typst.app

Robotic wire cutting for architectural purposes has been a relevant innovation. That process is an order of magnitude more effective: you're cutting with a wire rather then a chipping a way with a milling bit. With a wire you're

Insulation is about retaining heat. In the netherlands there's been too much emphasis on heat retention in houses built over the last ~15 yrs or so -- these houses are uncomfortable during the summer, since retaining too much heat. An

It seems a bizarre statement to state that OpenCASCADE isn't fully capable. Its the only OS licensed kernel that'll read a STEP file. Also "modern foundation" is a misleading statement, any CAD kernel bearing any kind of

its actually a hard problem: the massive boom that's required to provide reach is inherently quite unstable, not in the mm or cm but we're talking decimeters here. some of the core tech of FBR dating back ~15 yrs addresses this ki

Subject to appeal, yes, but the ruling is binding as of yesterday. The WSJ article is misleading, by not mentioning this essential aspect of the ruling. The shell case builds on a landmark ruling [1] which has gone through Courts of Appea
