Lift (data mining) Puns

These are the things not mentioned in the patch notes. Because everyone loves hidden nerfs and changes, right?

Note: This is all found via datamining the changes between live servers and the PTR. It is not a full list of stealth changes. There are a LOT of changes that I either didn't look at (crafting recipes for example, which are too large to view via browser), that are not easily understandable, or that I may have simply missed when skimming through the files.

#Greataxe Changes to the Executioner Greataxe quest.

Reap: Damage decreased from 110% to 70%.

Gravity Well can possibly no longer crit (CanCrit: Null to False; unsure if null means it could crit before).

Haste from Blood Lust reduced from 30% to 20%.

#Bow Blood Soaked Arrow damage reduced from 57.5% to 50% (possibly a bug fix as the tooltip said 50%).

#Warhammer Path of Destiny stun reduced by 66% (HitStun 30 -> 10).

Path of Destiny now gives the same stun regardless of crit/block. (BlockHitStun 25 -> 10, CritHitStun 35 -> 10).

Path of Destiny possibly no longer gets backstab bonus (NoBackStab: Null -> True; I'm unsure if null means it could or could not).

Path of Destiny no longer causes camera shake.

Clear Out's fortify buff is reduced.

Perks related to rend on shockwave are nerfed.

#Ice Gauntlet

Ice Storm Freeze base cooldown reduced from 7s to 6s and tickrate from 10 to 7.

Entombed light attack break mana cost reduced from 20 to 10.

#Musket

Powder Burn duration increased from 15 to 20.

#Void Gauntlet Putrefying Scream healing reduction reduced from 25% to 10%.

#Bonuses for post-200

Each skill has a different amount of exp required. Armoring, for example, requires 1,764,000 for the full reward (a box that can have various legendary patterns). The 2 sub-rewards (at 33% and 66% exp) each give 1 suspended vial of azoth (that's it, no other possible reward).

Also note that not all trade skills have unique rewards. For example, cooking and jewelcrafting only get a single vial of suspend azoth at all 3 reward levels. There are no unique rewards like armoring has. It seems only armoring, weaponsmithing, arcana, furnishing (which has current legendary trophy materials), and engineering have unique drops. The rest have either nothing but vials of azoth or vials and what most people would consider non-pickup greens (e.g. small quartz crystals).

I also don't really understand the differences in exp requirements. For example, mining needs 49,480. However, skinning requ

Hello everybody,

Happy Lunar New Year Wintersday! Now first things first:

• This will be the very last patch before End of Dragons releases (bug fixes aside)
• Lunar New Year is already included in this patch.
• The gemstore is filled with new items until March.
• They have also filled the returning gemstore schedule up until June.
• It's expected to release somewhere two months from now.
• Because the gemstore schedule of the previous patches already gave me a headache (and this one would be impossible to do in the old format) I've built a new page that will automatically show the latest information available. It's still a work in progress but the best I could do on very short notice to further automate things.

Edit: that's it for this year!

Last but not least,

Enjoy the holidays and see you all in Cantha!

Hello citizens!

I'm the developer of SC Trade Tools, a trade route finder for Star Citizen. Since the data for the website is extracted from the game's files directly, I can keep SC Trade Tools up-to-date automatically. In addition, I can also give you the Traders' patch notes: all the trading-related changes in this version! *As I'm doing this report by hand, something may slip, but fear not: it's all tool-automated on SC Trade Tools!

Surprisingly enough there are trade-related changes in 3.16! In essence: they patched scrap by changing a few selling locations into buying ones.

On the other hand, there has been no mining changes in 3.16 regarding deposit distribution and composition.

Changed locations

These locations have had their stock changed, be it their buying commodities, selling commodities, inventory or refresh rates.

All the details for scrap can be found here!

If you're wondering how this will affect your bottom line, I invite you to check SC Trade Tools, which has been updated with all this data!

If you wish to support the project, you can do so here and here!

I'm an academic statistician and recently started data mining the copious UFO reports logged on NUFORC's website. I want to use this data with my students, because I think it will be interesting and fun. But I'm also a UFO neophyte, so I'm very interested in this subs thoughts on my findings thus far.

Goal:

In line with the "do your own research" mantra, I thought it would be interesting to (1) look for patterns and trends in UFO reports and (2) ask whether or not these findings are consistent with various hypotheses (e.g. most reports are mundane; most reports are ETs; most reports are atmospheric phenomena; etc).

Data Set:

I downloaded all of the NUFORC reports from Jan 1990 to Jul 2021. Thus far, I've only looked at monthly and annual counts, but plan to look at the spatial distribution of the data once I have the time to clean it up. Roughly speaking, the number of reports increases from 1990 to the mid 2000s then stays constant for a bit. There's a big spike in reports around 2011 to 2015 and another spike from 2019 to 2020.

One caveat is that we have to consider both what factors will lead to more UFOs in the sky but also what factors will lead to more people submitting NUFORC reports.

Changepoint models:

A changepoint model tries to determine when the number of monthly NUFORC reports changes significantly (increase or decrease). Such a model found the following time periods and average monthly reporting rates. The ** indicate the two biggest peaks in UFO reports.

Annual Periodicity:

There's a strong seasonal trend in reports. Reports peak in July and drop in Jan & Feb. Presumably, this is because nice weather means more people outside where they can witness UFOs. Most NUFORC reports are coming from the USA and secondly from Canada.

Internet Access:

The rise in reports from 1990 to the mid 2000s precisely aligns with the spread of the internet across US households. So my first claim is that more internet access means easier reporting means more reports logged. This doesn't tell us whether or not there were more UFO sighting, but just that there are more reports being submitted. Luckily, internet coverage

Hello everybody,

Here are today's items, next update will be the 4th beta weekend in 3 weeks. The gemstore schedule is a bit longer than usual but it looks like they've already filled it with seasonal items until the launch of End of Dragons (new items and sales are excluded)

Hi, I'm a graduate student in Math/Stat department. I'm thinking about learning ML but I'm not sure what language they use? I only learned R before. And what jobs/industry would require the applications? I haven't decided which industry/position I will go to after graduation, so I hope I will leran something that has a broad application. What pre-req of the course I should learn? I learned nothing in computer science before, but I do know how to code. Thank you!

Since i use a type 9, i can only use 3 lasers, but usually takes me some time to full att 512 cargo space.
I was considering chaging to a anaconda with less cargo space but with more 2d laser mining.

Does any calculation was arealy made? if so, would anyone be able to direct me to it?

Thank y'll in advance!

I'm graduating this semester and I need one more computer science elective. These are the only two I can take and I'm trying to decide which one. Has anyone taken either of these classes and can share some information about the workload or the professors (Thomas Kinsman/Scott Johnson)? To be completely honest I'm pretty burned out at this point and just want to take whichever one isn't going to eat up all of my free time.

My mining probability data sheet has been (finally) updated for 3.15.1

Sorry it took a while to get this updated; the XML format has changed so i had to re-write all my scripts and i simply havn't had the time.

I'm still trying to figure out things such as "how many rocks spawn on a planet at a time" etc to get node density.
Consequence of the changes to the XML format, biome data is now easier to identify, so i plan to expand on this to include what spawns in what biomes, though that will no doubt require something a little more complex than a simple table allows. In short, very future project

Recently I've been rummaging through the game files, and first of all I'd just like to point out that there's a whole mess of data. The overall feel is that there's either a lot of remains of old ideas, or that AGS is playing 4D chess and is planning stuff 13 steps ahead (it's probably a little bit of both). For example, did you know that running and exploration used to be skills?

https://preview.redd.it/l782i0wgzdw71.png?width=931&format=png&auto=webp&s=8a2d01bdb7e2d57fa2bda7293d19f84231b81766

There's a lot of overlapping data that doesn't add up, for example there's a list with mob levels and base health, as well as a list with health multiplier depending on mob type (Solo, Elite, Boss etc.). But when you compare that with the actual health of some mobs it just isn't even close.

So, the following calculations all come from actual game data, but I guess there's a chance I'm not using the current way to calculate health that the game uses for example.

I've combined data from 3 different tables, and have made a number of assumptions and limitations:

• It assumes the mob's chance of dropping gold is the same as its chance of dropping loot
• It calculates a "toughness", which is based on HP and physical mitigation, for example 1k health and 0.75 mitigation would be 4k toughness
• It only includes mobs with a toughness of 2k+, as some of the best toughness-to-gold ratios are low level mobs that you could kill a lot faster than they spawn, so they're not worthwhile anyway
• It only includes (non-named) mobs in the category "Solo"

So without further ado, here are the top 10 best/worst mobs to kill for experience/gold:

Top 10 XP

Top 10 coins

Bottom 10 XP

Bottom 10 coins

The actual names of the mobs are somewhere else in the game files, I can look them up but it requires manual work for each name (at least for now). For example, "Skeleton_2H_Sword_MSQ_11_Elite" is "Celestial Docent".

Anyway, I hope you found this intere

Trying to find a last minute class for next semester, anyone taken this class before/have input on it?

Hi,

I'm starting out for my third year at Deakin University, it's probably going to be online again considering the circumstances.

Has anyone does this unit before? Would you be able to tell me exactly which topics they cover that I can prepare for beforehand? It would be very useful for me.

I would also appreciate a general review on the teaching staff and learning material provided for this unit.

Thanks

As per the title, is this prof good? By good, I mean clear, organized, and open to helping students? Also, can you (if possible) link some resources, like textbooks or syllabus so I have an idea of how he structures his lectures?

Okay, so it took me longer to get to this post than I planned and we had super crops (aka why are we getting so many seed bags and ingredients?) since I collected the data but I chopped some obstacles to compare and it seems this is still good :)

Without further ado, on today's episode of 'I have no life': Small Planters - to dig or not to dig?

To answer this question I did over 500 chops and more than 100 mining actions towards Snow White castle (my last build on main) and Maui's castle (that I was upgrading while working on Prince Frog castle on PC).

My key findings are below. And in case you're keen to data and averages, check the rest of this post.

1. Should I spend energy to chop small obstacles or dig them out?

>TL/DR: follow your preference
>
>There are differences but IMO not enough to say digging is bad.
>
>When chopping small obstacles, 1190 energy is spent and the mine is rebuilt once to get 2 1h builds and 1 5' build.
>
>When digging them out, 1175 energy is spent and the mine is rebuilt 2x to get the same 2 1h builds and and 1 1' build.
>
>I'll continue chopping the small obstacles because they generate slightly more chests, castle and hero pieces, and it takes less times rebuilding the mine. But if you're short in space, the losses are not much. And if the small obstacles and planters bug you, well... this is a game, let's have fun :)
>
>See 'Digging vs Chopping Small Planters' below for details.

2. Is it better to fully upgrade a castle before starting another? Or upgrade one and build one in parallel?

>In my scenario, chopping medium and large obstacles for castles that are already complete while having another castle in progress seemed to result in better ROE (Return Over Energy) as it also dropped pieces for the new castle and the average for the remaining items was not affected. So, between these 2 options, IMO it's better to upgrade one and build one at the same time.
>
>Note: I recently completed Snow White castle on main. I didn't unlock Cinderella's land because I wanted to upgrade castles and so far Boots' obstacles are yielding 1 T2 piece more for each medium obstacle than the average I hit before. I only monitored the chopping of 5 medium obstacles for Boots, so can't really say this is a pattern.

3. Should I merge small and medium chests before opening?

Hello citizens!

I'm the developer of SC Trade Tools, a trade route finder for Star Citizen. Since the data for the website is extracted from the game's files directly, I can keep SC Trade Tools up-to-date automatically. In addition, I can also give you the Traders' & Miners' patch notes: all the trading and mining related changes in this version! *As I'm doing this report by hand, something may slip, but fear not: it's all tool-automated on SC Trade Tools!

Nothing much

I'm afraid I couldn't find anything different in the delta from 3.14.1 to 3.15: neither trading, nor mining, changed in 3.15! After all, this is not the economy-pass patch, but the inventory and medical gameplay one. That being said, let's remember that there is now 30K protection and that an important shop inventory bug was fixed late in 3.14.1, which means that trading works as intended on LIVE (i.e. Laranite is still rare, but at least other commodities should be available). Happy farming!

If you do notice discrepancies, let me know and I'll look into it :D

If you're wondering how this will affect your bottom line, I invite you to check SC Trade Tools, which has been updated with all this data!

If you wish to support the project, you can do so here and here!

My friend is studying IT. He failed the data mining course because he wasn't wearing a helmet.

Is anyone else super excited about what people will find inside the game through data mining? All the interesting cut content and stuff. It was already awesome to see what people were able to find in the pc version of RDR2. I simply cannot wait

I will create a Python program to scrap data from any website you wish in formats such as CSV, Excel, JSON, Pandas Dataframe, and SQL.

I will automate boring tasks such as daily computing routines and scheduling/sending emails.

I will develop simple discord, Twitter, and telegram bots.

My rate starts at $50 per project.

Many things are connected. Like graphics card/playstation price scalping/fixing scheme is connected with your personal data privacy. This is specially true in terms of graphics card because companies can do machine learning using graphics card. And the output target of their dataset? They will use the cards to find out how much price gauging they can do with hardwares next month so they can get away with it without citizens or senators passing laws that curb their plan to gauge price.

=======

Hardwares have privacy issues. According to these articles, closed source peripheral apps have security flaws and sometimes borderline spywares.

Asus and Gigabyte peripheral apps had security flaws which they were quite slow to fix-

Gigabyte Fusion reportedly gets blocked by anti-cheat, specially Riot’s vanguard anti cheat.

Corsair icue was very intrusive and sometimes disabled hardware if you don’t update, because it got bundled With windows 10 updates.

MSI bundled with Cofspeed, which kinda works like a virus. Even if you uninstall Cofspeed, you have to delete some startup files because it is likely to install itself on next boot.

https://www.reddit.com/r/MSI_Gaming/comments/lpesjv/dragon_center_download_includes_virus_like/

Lenovo had Superfish scandal a decade ago and paid millions in settlement. It was not a gaming app, it was more like an encryption chip app. It was a big scandal, look it up.

Really? Tracking mouse movement and keylogging? Even though it is voluntary, but it's still too risky. A group of hacker can find zero day bugs in the closed source app and all our data will be exposed.

Other hardware makers also collect lots of data. For example- NZXT, Coolermaster etc. collect your data but they claim that ‘we only collect m

I am delighted to share the result of my analysis through visualization of the data mined from the Open Government Data(OGD) Platform India as a beginners project in Data Science and Visualization

I would also like to add that the platforms like geeks for geeks and kaggle helped me lot in understanding the concepts and served as a great reference material.

The following image visualizes the number of start-ups through their location and the area of the circle represents the no. of start-ups

Pie chart is always useful to interpret the data , here we display the cities with the no. of start-ups .
