I must thoroughly second this! It has been fascinating to learn about the process of woodblock carving; something I got obsessed with after seeing a Hiroshige and Hokusai (e.g. "the wave") exhibition during the pandemic.

More than a "Google" of new compute is of course still a lot, but it's not many Googles' worth.
By extension, if the big publishers are getting $3000 per article, that could be a fairly significant windfall.
Outwardly, it seems to be limited by unmasking too few tokens per round, even when the heatmap shows many more high-confidence guesses available. On some of the larger puzzles it looks like it's wasting many rounds filling in the 'obvious' shapes, and then gets the interesting bit in the last round. It also doesn't seem to have learned the idea of "the background is blue with shapes drawn on top," where background is often 50% of the solution in these puzzles.
Ran into a few bugs.. It seems to think I'm in the middle of an adventure (the little book icon correctly identifies a character and chapter etc) and is prompting for my action, but there's no actual story text being displayed. Maybe just a rate limit thing.
Also dark mode immediately crashed the application.
I'll still need to implement some kind of "AI" opponent or hack together P2P networking to demo it though; playing against yourself is fine for testing, but not really how the game is meant to be played.
It's hand coded so far, but I'm hoping AI can be a big lift for churning out the multiple thousands of named special rules, as most of these are very simple (+1 here, reroll there, etc).
Any WH40k players out there? Love to hear your thoughts!
I think that's a disservice, and it's worth standardizing; just like many of these, it can be surprisingly hard to get just right.
Related to the broader catalogue, I had fun in my Riflery and Table Tennis classes in college.
And the only counterpoint is pineapple juice, which you should just buy in the can -- it doesn't hold long at all once in air.
You also can't open a switch to stop the current because it's basically a giant inductor, it really wants to keep the magnetic field (and current) constant. Meaning if you suddenly disconnected the winding, it would arc across the gap (continuously, for quite a while until the stored energy was spent).
So what they do is vent/boil off the liquid helium which is keeping the magnet cold, such that it's no longer superconducting and the current will die off. You can't reclaim the helium, hence you need a fresh refill to chill down the magnet again.
That said I do also get misdelivered mail, which I don't get Informed Delivery for. I've gotten tax documents, jury summons, settlement checks, you name it. People really need to file a change of address.

Plug in your own longevity and uptime assumptions, but if that roof-mount kit costs on the order of $50k, it seems viable.
I don't know if this is the central takeaway I get from this. Moreso it shows Bitcoin dodged a bullet, in that there was still a central figure or group with enough clout to roll back and fork the chain.
There's a decent discussion on that topic here [1], as a starting point. Not saying it's absolutely conclusive, but gives some food for thought. I suppose where determining an accurate value might be most difficult is parcels that rarely turn over, so have little direct or nearby sales data.

He does a whole series on the Great Wave. It was interesting to learn that it's essentially impossible to know if a given impression is "original" as it was widely copied in Hokusai's own lifetime. He compares copies from various museum collections, and finds many of them come from different block-sets.
