What kinda technology do people use to listen to music in the locality space setting? Is it the same as irl or is there cool sci-fi technology for it, or both? Is it different for pajiir and delphonus?

This is such a good question, Kendrick, and it helped me iron out some worldbuilding thoughts about warps. I'm guessing this came from my ask answer about Pat's old stuff, which got me kind of stuck to start - the reason he has old music stuff is because in Old Canon he was the music guy, king of the radio. The canon was weird back then, with Spinder's whole family being faeries living on Earth. I believe canonically Spinder was born in 1958, so radio and record players were a big part of his childhood. But factoring in all of the locality space worldbuilding, and keeping my timeline straight, I think it's a little more complicated.

The space era that they live in, with relatively easy access to space and permawarps, came to be about 90-100 years ago, which means that's about when there started to be a major shift in music delivery, because you could then receive music via warp from just about anywhere. I think there was already essentially a galaxy-sized Napster network, because warp witches and also starships existed before the launch era, but in terms of radio/streaming formats that's when things really took off. The only problem was you needed a warp receiver, and at first the only stable mechanical warps were those generated by enchanted machine song, which meant that all of your music was delivered with extra noise, something like how CRT TVs make high-pitched whining noises. Not ideal, but extremely popular. Then someone figured out how to besmallen the technology used for warp gates, and true hi-fi warp radio was born. Which is a long-winded way of saying by the time Pat was born 40 years ago this was a solved problem. The thing is, I always imagined him having vintage stuff because it's stuff from when he grew up, not because he's a collector (though he could be that too). So what makes his music paraphernalia outdated?

Partly it's that it still relies on midsize receivers, which are still small enough to fit in a stereo, but fill a very different niche than the much smaller receivers that became available when he was a teenager and that he probably still owns instances of. I also think he's kind of a nerd about music stuff and was into amateur radio, warp and otherwise, for a while, so he has that stuff too. Also, despite the fact that magic allows most ship environments to be fairly planet-like, oh boy is it easy to market a music storage format to planetsiders based on the fact that it could work in zero g. Don't ask me how it works in zero g, but it does, somehow. Maybe not even well, because that's not the point - 99% of buyers are going to be using it in an environment with gravity. But in general formats did get hardier. I think it would be extremely funny if current music storage formats are just like. cuboids. and you put them in the player slot and its suspension-laser-refraction array can read a shit ton of data out of it, sort of like encoding things in diamonds. I'm not totally sure about that one but making the jump from "space CD" to "music cube" or something similar would make a lot of stuff outdated. So I guess to answer your second question it's kind of the same, especially for planetsiders (radio waves never became obsolete &c.) but there's some weird scifi stuff in there somewhere beyond warp receivers, which are pretty everyday.

Now for Pajiir and Delphonus I do actually have a more solid answer, which is: it's mostly the same as real life, with some 1920s-30s flavoring, though a lot of technology is circuit mycelium on the inside, and the internet has been around a whole lot longer so the concept of streaming/digital files/internet radio is even more established. That said, there is one fictional format that actually is integral to the whole plot of Icepith: the twist. (I swear I had a cooler name for it but this works.) The basic concept is that pieces of music tracks are recorded on metal wires and twisted together as essentially an industrial cable segment. A player can play them all in tandem, but importantly, you can untwist the twist and replace parts of it, which makes remixing easy and has led to a huge remixing culture among imbrath (the underground bat people, like Rolf), and by extension nswl. This is the basis of Snap and Rolf's doomed music career, and of Oruga's pirating. Rolf's friends/lovers who supply Oruga are wire producers.

This is my review of the X3 from Attack Shark. I came across this mouse shopping on Amazon by searching "3395 Gaming Mouse". I took a chance and I paid it for $39.17 and received it the same day.

Specs

Sensor: PAW3395

Size: 118.5*61*39.7 mm

Weight: 49±3grams (my copy weighted in at 54g on my scale)

Polling Rate: 125Hz-1000Hz.

Main Click Switches: Kailh Black Mamba Micro-Motion Switches, 80 Million Click

Scroll Wheel: TTC ENCODER

Connectivity: 2.4Ghz Wireless/Bluetooth/USB-C Wired

Battery Life According to the item description: Up to 200Hrs

Build Quality: My first impression of the X3 was, for a peripheral that cost less than a sushi dinner for one, this thing is built fairly well. If I squeeze the heck out of it, there is no creaking or popping. When I shake it, there is a very slight rattle of the scroll wheel, but nothing that you would feel in game (there is no rattle at all on my lavender copy). The bottom of the mouse doesn't flex when I push on it. The clicks feel nice and snappy. They are a little heavier than I would like, but that is my personal preference. There really isn't much pre/post travel on M1 or M2. I enjoy the scroll wheel quite a bit, it has some really nice defined steps and isn't too loud or scratchy. Mouse 3 and 4 feel nice with some post travel. The weight balance seems to be okay, If anything I would say it is potentially a bit back heavy. That may be due to battery placement inside the shell.

Performance: I had no issues with sensor tracking and did not experience any spin out. The polling rate seemed to be stable, and I did not feel any stutter or jitteriness. My main shooters are CS2 and Overwatch 2. I felt I performed well, and the shape really grew on me. The shape seems to pretty much be the Ajazz Aj199 and doing a little searching around Amazon, Attack Shark might even be a sub-brand of Ajazz(?) I don't know that exactly, I could be wrong. I also used the mouse to play Dota 2 and the X3 will now be my main mouse for that particular game moving forward. I use a relaxed claw style grip and have baby hands (17cm x 10cm). I never dealt with cramping or discomfort. Battery life is pretty dang good! It holds are charge for about 10-12 days with about 5-6 hours of use a day. Overall, I had no real issues with the mouse in game. The software is pretty basic, but important to download so you can update the firmware. This will allow you to change the debounce timing.

Overall Thoughts: My overall thoughts about the X3 are that it is a pretty decent little mouse if you are low on funds. Is it anything that shakes up the market or adds something we haven't already seen? Not at all. Is it worth $40? I would say it 100% is. It will be in my rotation moving forward, and I am hoping its durability stands up with the test of time.

Edit: I now have two copies of this mouse and the first one (in white) is still going strong. My Lavender one feels even better build wise. Huge Fan of the Attack Shark X3

Machine Learning Models Simplified: HawkStack's Step-by-Step Approach

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, machine learning (ML) is one of the most transformative fields, revolutionizing industries from healthcare to finance and beyond. However, for many, the complexities of machine learning can be daunting. How does a machine learn? What are the different types of models? And most importantly, how can you effectively implement and use them in real-world applications?

At HawkStack, we believe in simplifying the process, offering a clear, step-by-step approach to help demystify machine learning. Whether you're an aspiring data scientist, a business professional, or simply someone interested in understanding this powerful technology, our goal is to guide you through each phase of building and deploying machine learning models. Let’s break it down.

Step 1: Understanding the Problem

Before diving into any machine learning model, the first critical step is to define the problem you're trying to solve. Are you trying to predict a future outcome, classify items into categories, or maybe cluster similar data points together?

For example, if you're working with customer data, are you trying to predict churn (whether customers will leave) or segment your customers into different groups for targeted marketing?

By clearly defining your problem, you set the foundation for the entire machine learning process. This clarity helps in selecting the right type of model, the appropriate data, and how to evaluate the model's performance later.

Step 2: Gathering and Preparing the Data

Machine learning is data-driven. This means that the quality and quantity of your data directly influence the performance of your models. At HawkStack, we emphasize the importance of data collection and preprocessing. Here are a few key tasks you might encounter in this step:

Data Collection: Gather all relevant data, ensuring it's representative of the problem you're trying to solve.

Data Cleaning: Real-world data is often messy. You'll need to clean the data by handling missing values, removing outliers, and ensuring consistency.

Feature Engineering: Transform raw data into meaningful features that your model can work with. This could mean normalizing values, encoding categorical variables, or even creating new features from existing ones.

The more effort you put into preparing and cleaning your data, the better your model will perform. A well-prepared dataset makes all the difference in the success of your machine learning project.

Step 3: Selecting the Right Model

There is no "one-size-fits-all" in machine learning. The choice of model depends on the problem you're solving. At HawkStack, we guide you through selecting the right model based on your needs. Here’s a brief rundown of some common models:

Supervised Learning Models: Used when you have labeled data and want to predict an output based on input features. Common examples include:Linear Regression (predict continuous values)Logistic Regression (classify data into categories)Decision Trees and Random Forests (powerful for classification and regression)Support Vector Machines (SVM) (used for classification tasks)

Unsupervised Learning Models: These are used when you have unlabeled data and want to find patterns or groupings. Examples include:K-Means Clustering (grouping data into clusters)Principal Component Analysis (PCA) (dimensionality reduction)

Reinforcement Learning: A more advanced approach used for decision-making problems, where an agent learns by interacting with an environment and receiving feedback.

Choosing the right model is vital, and it’s often an iterative process. You'll need to experiment and tweak until you find the best fit.

Step 4: Training the Model

Once you’ve selected your model, the next step is to train it using the data you've collected. Training involves using algorithms to adjust the model’s internal parameters to minimize error, so it can make predictions accurately.

This process involves:

Splitting your data into training and testing sets.

Feeding the training data into the model so it can learn patterns and relationships.

Evaluating the model's performance using the test data to ensure it generalizes well to new, unseen data.

At HawkStack, we provide insights into how different algorithms work and how to fine-tune them for optimal results. From adjusting hyperparameters to understanding overfitting and underfitting, this stage requires careful monitoring and evaluation.

Step 5: Evaluating the Model’s Performance

The goal of machine learning is to develop models that perform well not just on training data but on unseen data (test data). At HawkStack, we focus on evaluation metrics to help measure a model’s success. Common metrics include:

Accuracy: The proportion of correct predictions.

Precision, Recall, and F1 Score: Especially useful for imbalanced datasets, like fraud detection.

Mean Squared Error (MSE): Commonly used in regression tasks.

Confusion Matrix: A detailed breakdown of prediction performance in classification tasks.

The evaluation process is critical because it allows you to understand how your model will perform in real-world scenarios and whether any improvements are necessary.

Step 6: Tuning the Model

After evaluating your model’s performance, you’ll likely need to fine-tune it to improve results. This might involve:

Hyperparameter Tuning: Adjusting the model's hyperparameters to enhance performance.

Cross-Validation: A technique to assess how your model generalizes by training it multiple times on different subsets of the data.

Feature Selection: Identifying which features are most important and removing irrelevant ones.

At HawkStack, we often use grid search and random search for hyperparameter tuning, and other advanced techniques like genetic algorithms to optimize the model.

Step 7: Deployment

Once your model has been trained and tuned, it’s time for deployment. This is where the model is integrated into a production environment, where it can make real-time predictions on new data. Deployment often involves:

Model Serving: Exposing the model through an API so it can be accessed by applications.

Monitoring: Tracking model performance over time to detect drift or degradation in accuracy.

Updating: Retraining the model periodically with fresh data to maintain its relevance and performance.

Effective deployment ensures that the model continues to add value long after it has been built.

Step 8: Continuous Improvement

Machine learning is an iterative process. The model you deploy today might need adjustments tomorrow as new data becomes available or the problem evolves. This is why it’s essential to monitor performance and iterate on your model.

At HawkStack, we emphasize continuous learning, encouraging teams to regularly review model performance, retrain with new data, and refine their models for sustained success.

Conclusion

Machine learning can seem overwhelming at first, but with a systematic, step-by-step approach, you can break down complex tasks into manageable steps. HawkStack's methodology ensures that you are not only building models that are accurate and effective but also scalable and maintainable in the long term.

By following these steps, from defining the problem and preparing data to selecting the right model and deployment, you’re setting yourself up for success. So, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned expert, HawkStack is here to guide you through every stage of your machine learning journey.

Missile Tracking Systems Market Share, Size, Trends & Forecast to 2033

Robotic smart motors are sophisticated electromechanical devices designed for use in robotics and automation. These motors incorporate a range of components and technologies that enhance their intelligence, functionality, and flexibility. Key elements of robotic smart motors include motors, encoders, motor controllers, communication interfaces, sensors, power electronics, among others. According…

[everythingismadeofchaos]

Couple things. These are ideas for Stellaris.

Well maybe three.

First of all, you can include a text file with each save file; note functionality within the game. That is, you start playing, and then maybe you start taking notes for yourself in this little file, and then when you save the game the file is saved with it, so that when you reload the game a year later you can see what you were planning on doing. While you're playing you can pull up a note window and it's just controlling a text file directly. I try to encode notes for myself in the save game names but there's not much room, and anyway I just continue the game when I start it. I just think this would be cool.

Secondly. Is there some way to change in the game what happens when specific notifications pop up? If I have a newly founded colony notification I would like the game to pause. There are probably other notifications this would be good for.

If you could alphabetize the planets in the slave market menu, that would be great. Or give us the list in some other order. Or better yet let us change the order depending on preference, or search the whole list with the planet name, or sort by size, or sort by something. And let us double-click the entry in that list to open the planet window. That would be very helpful.

I think you guys are underplaying your hand with the leaders. I'm playing a big giant sprawling easy game just to explore the functionality and try to learn more what's going on and what I should be aiming for and I'm using a huge number of leaders. I never knew the names of my leaders or really paid that much attention when I only had a few, because the number is so restricted. Now I've got this big sprawling giant empire and I could really use like a couple dozen more and I really notice what their strengths are and so forth. I have so many and I'm using the crap out of them, but they're costing me all these penalties, but I don't really need them; I just think they're cool and I want to have them. This is engagement with the game and kind of fun. It reminds me of when I was playing Star Wars: Rebellion in 1999 and you could send armies and ships and stuff all over the Galaxy, but you could also send Han Solo or Princess Leia or a whole bunch of guys who only had names on their action figures, but they were real guys with real names in the movies and it promoted the lore. If you would use whatever system you're using to generate people's names and generate 10,000 or 20,000 of them with permanent starting statistics, people would start to recognize them and notice them over and over again, game after game, especially if you increase the number of aliens that are available. Hell, give every race in the game that's not currently playing the current a 1% chance for a leader; then you hire him and find the whole galaxy but there's this mysterious culture somewhere in the Galaxy that nobody knows where it is and you spend the whole game trying to solve the mystery of how there is no human empire and there never was any human empire because you're playing an all robot playthrough or something, I don't know if you can even do that, but somehow these humans cropped up from somewhere. No population, no home planets, just some guy, eg Gaius Baltar.

I feel like if you had permanent characters like this you might start getting fan fiction. Is there Stellaris fan fiction? I don't know. Then maybe in 5 years there would be a movie deal. It would also give you the opportunity for more sci-fi in jokes because you could give people names that were secretly hints at other pieces of sci-fi or fantasy or even anything at all, like having a commander who's really good at hunting one particular type of space fauna and his name is Ahab. Or maybe Quint, the guy from Jaws. Or if you can't refer to a specific person, like you can't put Captain Kirk in the game obviously, you could have somebody who's secretly an homage to that person, like having a Captain Church whose icon is a brown haired white guy. "Kirk" is the word "church" in some other language; I can't remember which one and I don't want to lose my train of thought to go look it up but just as another in joke you have his opening line when you get him hired is he talks with an accent in that language. I think that would be funny, because almost nobody would get it and then somebody would and they would tell everybody and the information would spread. You could put a lot of in jokes in that way. The robot from Lost in Space. Hal 9000. Could be fun.

God I am having so much fucking fun playing this game. I don't get stoned all the time or anything, just once or twice a week for the anxiety, but I've discovered I can still stay functional enough to play the game if I microdose and play at a low difficulty level. And I am having a super fun time, let me tell you.

Sorry this is so long-winded. I can't play this game for more than a month or two, but I always find myself going back to it, and there are only three or four video games I can actually enjoy these days. Cranking the difficulty down just makes this so relaxing and fun and I can just enjoy all the content and interactions with my neighbors, who are all friendly because it's so easy for me to be heavily armed.

Thanks so much you guys for making this game
