#KG Build Tech

All the information about who will supply each building part, the costs involved, and the carbon footprint is collated from the very start in the company’s software. His team focuses on using sustainable materials — responsibly sourced timber rather than concrete, for instance, since the latter is high in embodied carbon.

011h’s buildings have achieved embodied carbon emissions lower than 400 kg of CO2 equivalent per square metre — significantly better than current averages. Plus, construction time is also shortened, by around 30% versus the average, claims Carné.

Finally, even in 2024, bricklaying remains a crucial skill required for housebuilding in Europe, as brick-based construction remains prized by European homebuyers. However, bricklayers are among the workers currently in very short supply. Monumental, based in Amsterdam, has an alternative. 

“You tell me, ‘I want to build a façade for a house, it’s X square metres’,” says Salar al Khafaji, founder and CEO. “I will quote you a price and do it for you — but I will do it with robots.”

The firm, which has raised $25 million to date and has 32 employees, offers bots capable of laying mortar and bricks in a careful sequence in order to build a wall automatically.

The process involves three individual robots, which each take on a separate task: either supplying a brick, laying a blob of mortar, or putting a brick in place. Pointing, however — neatly finishing the exposed mortar joints visible between bricks — still has to be done manually.

Finally Finished Reading the Design Bibles

I took a lot of notes, and while I do, unfortunately, have to keep my blog spoiler-free for my friend (who has not played 3 yet, but we're working through it) I did want to share some highlights!

Ring on Jak's chest noted to be an "Eco Ring" that channels and holds eco force, which it odd because the Warrior is the only other person that uses rings in their design.

Gameplay note: Lurkers are specifically told to only deal with anyone who strays too far from the village. meaning the village isn't a target at all. Just realized this whole thing is in comic sans

Samos the sage is noted to be a "Scholar" of Green Eco. Skin has taken on green skin after years of exposure. Elements of his design suggest a harmony and closeness with nature rather than the noted potential corruption the human body would inflict upon it.

Kiera wants to be a sage. She also likes investigating precursor technology. These are two conflicting desires that any normal youth would have, however her noted interest in tech and building is more utilized than any eco knowledge.

Samos clearly has no problems with her pursuing this path.

Piercings and tattoos exist in the time of TPL The Warrior wears Three (3) rings, pauldrons, vambraces, and leg guards. Has a similar wrapping style in his arms and wrists to Jak, and is, more or less, the only other person that seems armed and prepared for any form of combat. His hair is also green. Being defeated by Kull was a huge his to his pride. Encountering Jak and Daxter may likely have inspired him to learn form his failure and continue onward

Willard and Gordy are the only other characters with names. Names may be attributed to those in close relationships, whereas strangers or acquaintances use reserved titles exclusively

The gambler made a bet the Warrior would outlast the lurkers and lost. That's why he's poor now.

Mosquito design justified by the utilization of the snoot as a literal bloodsucking eco-eater. Design bible notates the functions of a robot for planet-creation, however the design is distinctly more battle/war based.

Overworld concept art is vibrant and much more elaborate than the prints can give off. Overhead shots give great detail on the overall look of the world, likely able to be pieced together to make a semi-cohesive map.

Personal note: Love the inclusion of stylizing the trees to keep everything on-theme Precursor temple in concept art leaves less that it was built into the mountain and more that it fell and then settled there

Jak's hair is barely up to the Warrior's shoulder.

Renegade Jak is not much taller than his younger self. Notably bulked out in some areas, but also painfully thin despite it. Could be chocked up to the dramatic style change between TPL and Renegade. May need to superimpose over feet vs head to get full scale of actual growth, if I really want to work that angle (I do not)

gets new goggles! Those are different ones entirely!

"Dark Jak is INVINCIBLE!" lol, okay fam. 'Dark Jak' taking an intense physical toll on the body makes sense, given the transformation is due to the over-abundance of dark eco in his system. Dark Jak may act as a release of excess energy as much as a dissociative defense mechanism.

Young samos definitely smokes weed. Sig apparently wears a size 18 boot. (13 inches from toe to heel) Vin wears a bowtie

Torn's Facial tattoos are asymmetrical. Both in concept and on model. (I will never draw them that way)

Torn still has many connections with the KG besides Ashelin. Left the Baron's forces for explained reasons, and wants to take the baron down for those aforementioned reasons.

Ashelin started in the KG as a recruit and "fought her way up the ranks to become a commander." Loyal to a fault, still in contact with Torn even after his desertion.

Note: The only known KG commanders are Erol and Ashelin, with Torn being a former commander himself. These two are the only ones that have unique armour tailored to their position and style. Erol with the racing suit, and Ashelin with a more "horse girl" style. Neither contain any colour consistency between them, suggesting that customized armour is a perk to being at the literal top of the military hierarchy.

All Krimson Guards have tattoos to show their loyalty to the city. Models are all copy-pasted, but it's reasonable to assume they earn/get more when ascending ranks or branching into specialized units.

Design note: Torn has a tall torso, Vin has droopy ears, and is taller than Jak

Mar's own legend has contradictory accounts of weither he died. Precursor stone was attached to his sword. Interesting design choice.

Jak is roughtly tit-height to a Rapid-Gunner Metalhead

racing vehicles are designed with a slimmer, almost body-width footprint utilizing aerodynamics and rudders over the fish design of Kiera's original model. Additionally, riders sit feet-forward in a slouched, almost laying position that puts strain on their neck to continue looking forward. Neither model displayed in the design bible have more than one rudder for mobility, which is understandable considering the high-speeds they reach. that can't be good on your back, though.

HAVEN IS PLACED THREE HUNDRED YEARS IN THE FUTURE. PERFECT. THIS IS THE FKING CONFIRMATION I NEEDED. world concept art shows land outside of haven's walls, and even more, ruined walls, beyond. small areas that look to either be stations or small inhabited areas denote life outside of the city is not only possible, but likely. The Pumping Station is NOT misty island, nor is it geyser rock. based on foliage alone, may be adjacent to the forbidden jungle.

Sewers were MASSIVE in concept. filled with metal-heads, and winding enough to get lost in easily. Would have made a great quick getaway point if there were multiple access points throughout the city Haven Forest is a sacred place, filled with stone effigy's and an offering stand in front of The Tree. A wall may have been intended to be grafitti'd

Stone carvings depicting Mar's legend would be a wonderful touch, if incorporated.

Mar buried at the crotch of a precursor robot behind a MASSIVE door that perfectly illustrates the force required to have protected the city from Metalheads. Port was intended to be a more bustling area, complete with actual BOATS. and common areas! I would have loved to see these get modeled into the game, they'd be spectacular.

The stadium was clearly the favoured child. Drill platform is one of many, sees regular activity during the day.

If Daxter's two feet tall, and each bar is a foot, Jak is Five Feet tall.

Baron Praxis is even bigger than Sig. But still shorter than the Warrior. Kiera and Jak are roughly the same height Onin's outfit is basically the ugly nike shirt Tess is Taller than Jak. Erol is shorter than Ashelin.

Jak continues to wear wrappings up to his elbows despite not strictly needing to. Other concept has his forearms free. Headcanon explanation: Hates looking at his scars, so he covers them up to avoid it being seen or asked about.

There is not explanation for the Precursors. I fking LOVE it.

Every wastelander is designed with their hair either put up or cut short to prevent it from getting in the way. Every one has a a design with a pauldron of some kind, and while their clothing isn't entirely practical, it looks light and airy enough to provide protection from at least the sun.

return of the precursor robot

the proto-names for all of the cars feature animal names! Which, while cute, clearly did not last to the final phase.

"Wastelanders love their off-road vehicles" Sir, THERE IS NO ROAD

lol, kg segway

Precursor ship is fking HUUUUGE

The planet is noted to be "unfinished"

Huge variety of flora and fauna in the wasteland. Despite being a desert, it boasts its own ecosystem of a variety of cacti and also fully fledged trees. Concept art suggests that people are able to tame and mount large desert lizards to traverse the sands (nomadic tribes, likely)

Just from the concepts alone, i can tell the entirety of the wasteland was meant to be much larger and more elaborate than the one we ended up with. More diverse life, maybe less marauders, potentially mounts outside of Spargus, the oasis is an entire area unto itself and in the game it's just a puddle. There is so much more love and care in the crafting of the ideas and concepts of this game that sadly got left to the wayside from either time or money constraints. Haven is in ruins, New areas previously unknown have been uncovered, and there's an entire world out there that has yet to be explored in full. Were this game made today, and given the time needed to make sure it was well-produced and as elaborate as they wanted, it'd easily give Nintendo's LoZ a run for its money.

Kuon Hiyuki

 Kuon Hiyuki

Age: 27

Aliases: Sage (hacker name), That Moron, K-H-Y

Sexuality: Pansexual

D.O.B: 27th of September (Libra)

Height: 6’1 or 187 cm

Weight: 78 kg

Blood Type: A

Kuon Hiyuki was raised in an influential rich Family. From the very beginning he was pretty smart and techy, building machines and programming since he was a kid. His parents saw the potential and drove him to study all day and get top grades. However it was more compared to Military training instead of friendly encouragement. Which led Kuon to always be put on stress and he was brought to the edge of his capabilities. So as he was old enough going to college and moving out of his parents house he did the opposite... he became extremely lazy and used his tech knowledge to gather informations on anyone he can... it was also a defense mechanism... to those who tried to mock him or get in his way... he used it all to his advantage...

He mostly now earns money working in an IT-company trying to cover up for his Hacker persona Sage... yet one day he discovered something curious online... a blueprint of a device that was said to cross dimensions... and so he took the risk to bring some excitment into his dull life.

(Ed Ongweso Jr’s discussion of that stable diffusion lawsuit annotation that was going around is really interesting. the whole thing is here but relevant excerpt below the cut.)

One of my favorite projects last year was an annotated version of NYT columnist Kevin Roose’s "The Latecomer's Guide to Crypto" that sought to correct what amounted to be "a thinly-veiled advertisement for cryptocurrency that appeared to have received little in the way of fact-checking or critical editorial scrutiny." It was a pretty clear, persuasive, and effective rebuttal of many key points and narratives invoked by Roose that was threatening to be uncritically repeated and adopted en masse. So imagine my surprise when someone shared with me a project (“Stable Diffusion Frivolous”) following the same angle, but in defense of what promises to be one of this year’s hype tech products: “AI art.”

Some background: On January 13, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Stability AI and MidJourney, along with art platform DeviantArt for their use of Stable Diffusion.

Stability AI and MidJourney style themselves as AI art generators, meaning they use Stable Diffusion to take pre-existing creative work, use those works as training data for neural networks, and generate derivatives. In this lawsuit, it's alleged some five billion images were taken without the artist's consent and essentially remixed, amounting to a massive violation of copyright law for millions of artists.

"At minimum, Stable Diffusion’s ability to flood the market with an essentially unlimited number of infringing images will inflict permanent damage on the market for art and artists," the lawsuit announcement reads.

The annotations themselves aren't particularly interesting or well-argued, obsessing over technical details instead of fundamental questions. Consider the invocation of Jevon's paradox, an economic observation that when the efficiency of a resource's consumption is increased, its demand will increase. The annotations look at aluminum—once a precious metal that Napoleon used for silverware and the Washington Monument used as a luxurious capstone, but now is ubiquitous because it costs $2/kg.

AI art tools increase efficiency, yes. Contrary to myth, they rarely produce professional-quality outputs in one step, but combined into a workflow with a human artist they yield professional results in much less time than manual work. But that does not inherently mean a corresponding decrease in the size of the market, because as prices to complete projects drop due to the decreased time required, more people will pay for projects that they otherwise could not have afforded. Custom graphics for a car or building. An indie video game. A Mural for one's living room. All across the market, new sectors will be priced into the market that were previously priced out.

There are two things to address here. First: the economics rant is not relevant to the lawsuit, which is asking whether you are violating copyright law when you use unlicensed images as training data for AI art tools. Most of the annotations work like this, pursuing tangents or quibbling on points that are ultimately concerned with markets and efficiency, not the legal question. Opponents are dismissed as “whittlers mad at power tools” and complaints are fielded that a system that did ask for consent would be technically difficult to build.

Second: it is not immediately clear why expanding art markets and increasing artist productivity is a desirable path forward. This was, after all, more or less the core thrust of many pro-NFT arguments over the past two years: sure, NFTs won’t help you make more art but they will allow you to do more with your art—speculation, secondary markets to trade fractional shares, experiences, targeted benefits, social clubs, etc. Individually creating all of those things would be tedious and cumbersome, but simply throwing your art onto the blockchain could outsource some of that work to zealous fans and communities would create more markets, more revenue streams, and more opportunities for additional art to be created by yourself or them.

NFTs, however, quickly proved themselves to be a disaster. They created markets rife with fraud, outright theft, half-baked ideas and implementation, vaporware, and creative attempts to generate excess returns through speculation. There is a tendency to insist AI and crypto will help all artists, but experience suggests that recklessly rolling out these digital technologies to develop new markets tends to largely benefit con artists.

There is also a third point, a secret point, which is both and neither of the previous. Why is anyone pretending that what these AIs are creating is art? The other day, someone sent Nick Cave lyrics generated by ChatGPT in the style of his music and he wrote a furious blog post that was incredibly perceptive when it came to the question of what art is and why AI isn’t doing it.

Songs arise out of suffering, by which I mean they are predicated upon the complex, internal human struggle of creation and, well, as far as I know, algorithms don’t feel. Data doesn’t suffer. ChatGPT has no inner being, it has been nowhere, it has endured nothing, it has not had the audacity to reach beyond its limitations, and hence it doesn’t have the capacity for a shared transcendent experience, as it has no limitations from which to transcend. ChatGPT’s melancholy role is that it is destined to imitate and can never have an authentic human experience, no matter how devalued and inconsequential the human experience may in time become.

The core reason to object to AI art isn’t simply the legal question of licensing or the debates over how artists should make a living, but the fact that this is another front in the war waged by market zealots on life experienced outside of markets. In a bid to quantify the value of everything so that it can then be turned into an asset, its transaction costs made transparent, its production optimized, and its innovation ensured, market fundamentalists have created caricatures of how human minds, social networks, and communities are formed. They’re not interested in creativity, let alone any sublime element of what it means to be a human being―unless it can be linked back to a market. That’s a pretty depressing and increasingly dominant viewpoint of the world which shouldn’t be given any room to breathe.

So at the end of it all, this is an interesting document to read if only because it teases the shape of arguments to come as techno-optimists, venture capitalists, and market zealots reposition themselves to insist AI art is a net good. Advocates will avoid the central legal question (should you get paid for your work being used by a neural network to make similar work), and insist on reframing artists as workers who must produce more for less instead of creatives who should be provided a livelihood independent of demand for their work and spin new markets for speculation and commodification as opportunities for more ambitious artistic endeavors.

SAMSUNG 14" Galaxy Book4 Pro Laptop: A Detailed Review of the 2024 Model

In 2024, Samsung has made a solid move in the ultra-premium laptop market with the release of its Galaxy Book4 Pro. This model, boasting a 14-inch 3K AMOLED touchscreen, is part of the next-generation of Samsung laptops, aimed at professionals, creators, and tech enthusiasts who demand both performance and aesthetics. The Intel Core 7 Ultra Processor, 512GB storage, and cutting-edge security features set the stage for this laptop to be a standout performer in its category. In this in-depth review, we’ll cover every aspect of the Galaxy Book4 Pro, from its design and build quality to its display, performance, battery life, and overall user experience.

Galaxy Book4 Pro Laptop

Design & Build Quality

Sleek and Professional

The first thing that catches your eye with the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro is its stunning Moonstone Gray finish, which strikes a perfect balance between professional sophistication and modern minimalism. The smooth metal chassis feels premium in hand, with its brushed aluminum giving off a refined yet robust appearance. At only 1.4 kg (about 3 lbs), this laptop is impressively lightweight and portable, making it an excellent option for people who are constantly on the go.

The thin profile is just 11.9mm thick, meaning it can easily slip into a bag or backpack without adding much bulk. Yet, despite its slimness, the laptop feels solid, thanks to its well-built structure. Samsung’s engineering here ensures that it can withstand the wear and tear of daily usage, while still remaining a fashionable accessory for modern professionals.

Attention to Detail

The hinge on the Galaxy Book4 Pro is smooth and sturdy, allowing the display to open and close with a seamless, reassuring motion. Samsung has paid particular attention to the tactile feel of the keyboard and trackpad — both are well-positioned and responsive, delivering an excellent typing experience with a decent amount of key travel. The backlit keyboard comes in handy for late-night work sessions, offering multiple levels of brightness adjustment.

The laptop also features a wide precision trackpad, which supports all the modern gestures available in Windows 11, ensuring smooth navigation across tasks.

Display: 3K AMOLED Excellence

Crystal-Clear AMOLED Display

Arguably the standout feature of the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro is its 14-inch 3K AMOLED display with a resolution of 2880 x 1800. This panel is a feast for the eyes, delivering deep blacks, vibrant colors, and sharp visuals that are characteristic of Samsung’s best AMOLED screens. Whether you’re watching movies, editing photos, or simply browsing the web, the colors pop with an incredible range of contrast.

The 3:2 aspect ratio is ideal for productivity tasks, providing more vertical screen real estate to work on documents or browse through long web pages without needing to scroll as frequently. For creatives, the screen’s high pixel density ensures razor-sharp image clarity, while the 100% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage guarantees accurate color representation — an essential feature for video editors, photographers, and designers.

Touchscreen & 360-Degree Flexibility

The Galaxy Book4 Pro isn’t just about beautiful visuals, it also includes a touchscreen with support for multi-touch gestures. The touchscreen is responsive, accurate, and ideal for those who prefer a more hands-on approach to interacting with their laptop. With 360-degree hinge flexibility, it easily transitions between a traditional laptop and a tablet, making it highly versatile for presentations, creative work, or even just casual media consumption.

Performance: Intel Core 7 Ultra Processor & Beyond

Next-Level Processing Power

At the heart of the Galaxy Book4 Pro is the Intel Core 7 Ultra Processor (13th Gen), a powerhouse designed to handle demanding tasks with ease. Whether you’re running multiple programs simultaneously, editing high-definition video, or crunching large datasets, this processor provides the speed and efficiency needed to keep everything running smoothly. It’s especially capable in multi-threaded tasks, outperforming many of its competitors in benchmark tests.

Paired with 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM, the Galaxy Book4 Pro handles multitasking like a breeze. You can effortlessly switch between heavy-duty applications, keeping numerous tabs open, while still enjoying lag-free performance. This laptop is ideal for professionals who need to manage complex workflows, whether it’s content creation, software development, or data analysis.

Graphics & Creative Work

Although the Galaxy Book4 Pro doesn’t come with a discrete GPU, it features Intel’s integrated Iris Xe Graphics, which is more than capable of handling light to moderate graphics work. It can run creative software like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and even Premiere Pro with ease, though for more GPU-intensive tasks like 3D rendering or AAA gaming, you might find its performance slightly lacking compared to laptops with dedicated GPUs.

For casual gamers, however, this laptop still holds its own, handling less demanding titles and casual gaming without breaking a sweat.

Storage: Fast & Reliable

With 512GB of NVMe SSD storage, the Galaxy Book4 Pro offers ample space for most users to store their important files, software, and media. The NVMe drive ensures fast read/write speeds, allowing for quick boot times and fast file transfers. If you’re dealing with large files regularly, this speedy storage will save you valuable time, ensuring your laptop performs efficiently even under heavy loads.

For users requiring more storage, the laptop does offer options for external drives, thanks to its Thunderbolt 4 ports and USB-C compatibility.

Security: Advanced Protection

In today’s world, security is paramount, and Samsung has built some impressive features into the Galaxy Book4 Pro to ensure that your data stays safe.

Fingerprint Scanner & Windows Hello

One of the most convenient security features is the integrated fingerprint scanner, embedded in the power button, which works seamlessly with Windows Hello. This feature allows for instant and secure logins without needing to remember a password. It’s fast and reliable, recognizing your fingerprint almost instantly.

Enhanced Privacy Tools

Samsung has also included privacy protection tools, such as Samsung Knox, a security suite that safeguards your laptop from potential cyber threats, including malware and hacking attempts. Additionally, the webcam shield is a physical barrier that can be slid over the camera for extra peace of mind, ensuring that no one can access your camera without your knowledge.

Connectivity & Ports: Plenty of Options

The Galaxy Book4 Pro comes equipped with a decent selection of ports, especially considering its slim profile. It includes:

2 x Thunderbolt 4 ports for fast data transfer and 4K display output

1 x USB-C port

1 x USB-A port for legacy peripherals

1 x HDMI port for external monitors or projectors

3.5mm audio jack for headphones or microphones

microSD card slot for expandable storage

With Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 on board, the Galaxy Book4 Pro provides super-fast wireless connectivity, ensuring that you can easily connect to the latest wireless networks and Bluetooth devices.

Battery Life: Power That Lasts

The Galaxy Book4 Pro is equipped with a 63Wh battery, which provides all-day battery life under moderate use. Samsung promises up to 12 hours of usage on a single charge, and in real-world tests, the laptop comfortably lasts between 8–10 hours of typical usage — enough for a full day of work without needing to constantly search for an outlet.

Even when running more power-hungry applications or using the display at maximum brightness, the laptop still offers impressive battery longevity, making it an ideal companion for long workdays, flights, or conferences. And when you do need to charge, the fast charging capability allows the laptop to get back up to 50% battery in just under 30 minutes with the included 65W USB-C charger.

Software: Windows 11 & Samsung Ecosystem

The Galaxy Book4 Pro ships with Windows 11 pre-installed, which offers a clean and modern interface along with enhanced features for multitasking, productivity, and gaming. One of the standout aspects of Samsung’s laptops is how well they integrate with the rest of the Samsung ecosystem. If you’re a Samsung user, especially if you have a Galaxy smartphone or tablet, you’ll appreciate features like Samsung DeX, Quick Share, and Link to Windows, which provide seamless syncing between devices.

For example, Quick Share lets you transfer files between your Galaxy devices quickly and wirelessly, and Samsung Notes syncs effortlessly, allowing you to take notes on your Galaxy tablet and view them instantly on your laptop. Multi Control lets you control multiple devices from your laptop keyboard and trackpad, providing an intuitive multi-device workflow.

User Experience: What It’s Like Day-to-Day

From a day-to-day usage standpoint, the Galaxy Book4 Pro delivers a smooth, enjoyable experience. Its lightweight design, paired with the vivid display and responsive performance, makes it an excellent laptop for professionals who need a reliable machine for both work and play.

For students, creatives, and remote workers, the 14-inch form factor strikes a good balance between screen real estate and portability. Whether you’re working on a video project, giving a presentation, or just consuming media, the AMOLED screen makes everything look stunning, and the Intel Core 7 Ultra Processor keeps up with your demands.

The quiet fans ensure that even during intensive tasks, the laptop stays cool without generating distracting noise, which adds to the premium feel of the device.
