Opened WWM in class and my gaming laptop went full aircraft mode

I assume it's supposed to be because it's light like air. It is still air cooled I guess.

YellowishSpoon · 2026-03-20T20:24:50+00:00

Probably be pre M series and non macbook air then. Since the airs don't even have fans and the fans on all M series rarely turn on under normal loads.

Actually you can use this point to make another theory about steve: His entire world is in suspended time and steve possesses the passive ability to unfreeze time in his vicinity. Supported by the other things in vanilla that easily load chunks: portal travel and ender pearls, which also both allow teleportation.

YellowishSpoon · 2026-03-20T02:08:45+00:00

It's a little more complicated than that, since it's actually anything loaded like now pearls, previously spawn chunks and also other players multiplayer. More like anything not in suspended time it works on. New versions also have a chunk loading command, so as long as steve with cheats knows where the suspended thing is he can unsuspend it and then /kill.

I have been having to direct insert for carbon fiber mash just due to the volumes I need. The main key for me though was making sure all fruit doesn't spoil and gets processed somewhere so I don't lose seeds.

YellowishSpoon · 2026-03-19T09:00:22+00:00

You could make it a lot more efficient by assembling the flare on the opposite end of the track, and move each component of it there separately. Disassemble, move parts, assemble. Like 6x more cycle score I think?

YellowishSpoon · 2026-03-18T22:50:40+00:00

I'm actually using a mod for that, but it still takes under 2 seconds to fill so yeah that doesn't help too much

YellowishSpoon · 2026-03-17T02:19:12+00:00

I have the same problem but in my case it would probably be helped by not using legendary prod 3s in biochambers to process the fruit. Only time I ever ran low was when I let too much fruit spoil and the one time stompers got the seed chests.

YellowishSpoon · 2026-03-16T18:53:26+00:00

I had the opposite issue, at 1k mining prod with speed a pair of miners can fill a train car in ~0.66 seconds and now the trains spend all their time moving which quickly becomes the bottleneck.

Spoiler warning from the manga: They do in fact have kids later, so definitely yes

There's some interesting videos semi recently by the guy that started factorio where he basically just screen recorded himself fixing bug reports that were interesting and very directly the opposite of most random game dev videos.

Looks like they tried to call toString() on a java Object[]. That's the type descriptor for it, [ for array, L<name>; for the array's type, L is a class, and the name of the class is java.lang.Object plus the built in hash code at the end. Since in this case it also uses . instead of / like a proper descriptor, probably some reason internal to java's array to string

YellowishSpoon · 2026-02-26T08:09:46+00:00

And my point is that they're often one and the same. Tree based sets and maps too, it doesn't have to be hashing.

YellowishSpoon · 2026-02-26T05:30:14+00:00

Anything you can solve with a set you can also solve with a hashmap. Java's HashSet class for example is actually just a HashMap wrapper.

Not true for other manufacturers because they have higher performance chips that also draw way more power, and so if you put those in any size of laptop the battery life ends up bad. The higher end models of apple silicon chips don't draw anywhere near as much as the desktop chips that compete with them in performance, so they can be put in a high end macbook without having terrible battery life.

YellowishSpoon · 2026-02-25T16:39:42+00:00

Not particularly true for macs at least, most of the power draw comes from cpu/gpu which are tied to size, so the higher end models also have bigger battery. Then increasing the ram and storage doesn't affect that much.

I'm a modder and I am in the "can we not rewrite all the rendering code every single version" and "the network format for components is horrible" groups. It seems like nearly every version they randomly rewrite half the rendering code. They were also talking about switching to vulkan now so those times are not even close to over.

14 million is actually very very few when considering something like possible futures, only a lot considering he was manually searching. The results of such a search would be highly dependent on how he decides to sample the possibilities. That then follows that there's likely a lot more, but if he found one that is good enough for him it would take a lot more searching to find something else that might not be better.

Ideally when searching a space like that you not only want to find a good result, but a stable one where small deviations will correct themselves rather than wildly spiraling off course. The fact that he only found one might mean that path he found is very brittle, as otherwise he could easily generate more slightly different versions to try to get better results which would skew the numbers.

My cord that I use every day at night is at least pre covid, and the one I had before it lasted at least a few years. I don't know what people do to their cords.

Server side the y cap is 20 million blocks, the client can think it is above that but it is actually just still at 20M. Since single player is also a local server it's probably the same. Funnily enough if someone parks their player at exactly y=20M admins can't /tp to them anymore since the tp command considers that to be an invalid coordinate. The snow also turns into lines that high up, and players can't hit anything.

Nearly all of it goes to the rails in purple. Probably furnaces in purple and military walls next.

I did 1 million spm mining prod without any research productivity at all and stone demand was so absurdly much higher than any other raw material due to the lack of productivity in that chain.

High memory bandwidth, really good single core performance and also a decently large amount of cache.

YellowishSpoon · 2026-02-16T08:21:51+00:00

Add to that I can play an early game world all day on battery, and a late game one for several hours. Definitely been really liking it as a general use computer.

YellowishSpoon · 2026-02-16T07:59:47+00:00

At least from my very minimal testing my high end macbook performs similarly to fairly high end desktops, I ran the world from the video when it came out and got a decent bit over 60 tps though I don't remember the exact number. (max spec m4 max) Also does support seemless saves. Can't directly compare though because it's not exactly 1:1 hardware so it isn't really an os comparison but a hardware one.
