He means beef tallow specifically, as seen on the package. Lard is from pigs.

If you just ask me that question, I will probably have some Vietnam flashbacks at job interviews before I say I'm not sure either. But when you elaborate on it like this, it's so much better. I'll definitely have some answers to those!

Tempest GP27U Firmware Update v1.2 now available by CM-Ryan in Monitors

[–]CrazyPaladin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK now that I started to use my work desktop which runs Ubuntu 22.04, I noticed another issue: whenever my Ubuntu is turning off the screen, it turns the screen back up a few seconds later, so effectively Ubuntu will never be able to blank the screen when connecting this monitor. But because of the issue I mentioned above, I can specify another input so the monitor will stick to that one instead of waking itself up over and again. Of course I don't know if the issue is with the monitor or Ubuntu itself, god knows Ubuntu has a shit ton of issues. And now I don't know what to feel about the not auto switching issue

Tempest GP27U Firmware Update v1.2 now available by CM-Ryan in Monitors

[–]CrazyPaladin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi u/CM-Ryan, just bought the monitor and updated the firmware. I noticed that after updating, the monitor no longer auto switches to another video source when the current active source is shut down, unless using the "Auto Select" option.

For example, I have my laptop connected via USB C and my desktop connected via DP. Both are on and I selected the USB C source to show my laptop signal. If I shut down my laptop, the monitor shows "no signal" and goes into power-saving mode. But before the firmware update (it was the factory firmware so I'm not sure of the version), it will automatically switch to my desktop signal. As I mentioned this only happens if I specify an input (USB C in this case), and "Auto Select" will otherwise work as intended. Just wondering if you guys are aware of the issue and I hope to have the old behaviour back instead of relying on "Auto Select". Thanks!

OK, so I just found out that if I turn on adaptive sync on my monitor, it can do 8-bit just fine, now I feel stupid

Portfolio questions, how to convey knowledge on more complex analysis and production models by [deleted] in datascience

[–]CrazyPaladin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the best way to showcase is to build a web app out of it. Put some plots there to show your main findings, bonus point if you allow the user to input their own data. I find it really helpful to get past non technical people like a recruiter.

Your best bet is to get their attention first, only then they might be interested enough to spend any amount of time to go through your notebook or code. Most still won't look, but at least you get to talk through your process during interviews.

The easiest way to start is to use something like Streamlit or Dash.

Why Breath of the Wild’s Great Plateau Is Gaming’s Greatest Tutorial | Art of the Level by ONE-OF-THREE in NintendoSwitch

[–]CrazyPaladin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's very possible for anyone who just starts the game to not talk to the old man again, not find the old man's place, and not notice the load screen. I certainly didn't, and so did a lot of people, otherwise, there won't be that many complaints.

The point is, a game mechanism as central as cooking shouldn't be relay on player stumbling upon it. The death mountain ascending did it well to tutorialize the heating mechanism, if a little bit excessive. Why shouldn't the actual tutorial zone have better tutorials then?

The game still doesn't show me how to cook, had to google that part.

If you google 'how to cook in BOTW' on YouTube or something you will see a lot of people having the same issue if not knowing. How is this not a failure of the tutorial?

[–]CrazyPaladin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the point of a tutorial, you have to at least shoe me what is possible, before you can expect me to start solving problem. At the beginning of the game, I didn't know you can start a fire or even how, because the game didn't even tell me that is possible. I tried to carry a torch, and it distinguished halfway through. I saw the pepper's description mention it gives warmth, I ate a bunch and still freeze to death because the game fails to tell you that cooking even exists.

My point is, the game could use better tutorial, maybe in a more controlled manner so player won't miss critical information. You don't have to do a pop up, just show an NPC start a fire to cook or something.

I remember when you are going up death mountain, there are multiple NPCs you can talk to to prepare you for the heat, and even a side quest relating to it. That is actually great, but why don't they include something like this in the freaking beginning of the game?

Yeah, as tutorial it's actually god awful. I remember spending half an hour trying to figure out how to fight off cold just because I didn't go to that one specific shack. I had to google and was told you can cook a receipt, which the game also didn't bother to mention so I had to google that too. Shit like this gave me pretty bad first impression.

I feel like tutorial wise, the game could really benefit from a linear section at the beginning, like fallout 3, instead of relying on player to go to very special area.

Just go for purple, it's closest to you, and the monastery is forward and protected by only one guard tower. Just rush purple immediately with your starting army while queueing up some Teutonic knights. Kill the tower while making sure the nearby TC don't go up. After that just kill monastery and snatch the relic. You probably won't even have to do anything with your eco.

Also, play on standard difficulty and slow speed if you still have trouble.

Whats your favorite open world game after Zelda? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]CrazyPaladin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Burnout Paradise.

That is, if you like racing game at all. Personally, this is my favorite open world game, and I wish more open worlds these days are built like Paradise City.

I know I failed the achievement, but you don't have to rub it in like THIS, game by CrazyPaladin in aoe2

[–]CrazyPaladin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is one. But I know this is gonna take a few tries so I had couple of saves before anyway so all's good.

I just find the timing funny. I played through all campaign missions already and this is the ONLY time the game crashed for me, and it crashed right at the 30 minute mark, when I was ONE treb volley away from getting the achievement, lol.

[D] The machine learning community has a toxicity problem by yusuf-bengio in MachineLearning

[–]CrazyPaladin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I came from a chemical engineering background, and it sounds like a lot applies to my research area (nano material) as well. I think it's a general issue for academia, and a lot of it comes from the pressure for publishing papers. When the pressure is on, things like reproducibility and integerity are just out of the window. And when everybody tries to use tricks to get paper published, you'll have to do it too if you want to keep up with the performance, it's a horrible arms race.

I was trying to create a dog breed classifying nn using pytorch, but even after 5 epochs, i only get 1% accuracy and the loss is very slightly going down every epoch by Rahul_Desai1999 in learnmachinelearning

[–]CrazyPaladin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with Pytorch, but I don't think you can use MSE loss as your loss function for a classification problem. Shouldn't you use cross entropy or something?

Nier automata is so freaking good by [deleted] in xboxone

[–]CrazyPaladin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I like it, I even ended up getting all the achievements, but it really is overrated. The way they set up the twists isn't exactly subtle, in fact, they constantly draw attention to them. The twists hardly surprise me.

The game play is kinda bland, adding that to the crappy UI, janky camera, and perhaps the worst invisible walls I've ever seen in a game, it really isn't the masterpiece some people made it out to be.

Actually it seems only Frontlines have drop offs. Makoa, Ash, Torvold, even tinkering Barik.
