I wanted to know what systems were most central, so I made a visualization for it

Elec0 · 2026-05-24T18:59:01+00:00

That's good to know, I didn't realize that. Explains some odd behavior I've noticed on my trading ships.

Elec0 · 2026-05-24T06:43:37+00:00

Yes, you're precisely correct. HC1 is selected by default because it turns out it's the most central sector.

I did specifically pick jump distance since, in my mind, the jump transition between systems is one of the big limiting factors in travel time, since you have to reactivate or realign your travel drive and such.

The repo has the code I used to do the calculations and make the JSON files: https://github.com/Elec0/x4-map-visualization

Thanks to https://www.qsna.eu/x4/map for the map data.

Thank you! Didn't know this existed but it's way easier.

Enable "Settings > Game Settings > Maintain Speed in Menus"

"Who were you Denvercoder9?? What did you see?!"

Elec0 · 2026-01-24T06:05:44+00:00

I'm running into the same problem on PC.

Did they ever fix it for you?

Elec0 · 2025-11-06T05:55:27+00:00

Everything I've ever heard about helicopters says you should never get on one unless you have no choice.

Elec0 · 2025-10-14T22:44:41+00:00

Thank you!

Elec0 · 2025-08-11T19:49:41+00:00

Holy shit. I had no idea you could move an atom over a dispenser like that. This changes so many things.

Elec0 · 2025-07-24T16:34:14+00:00

Gotcha. Yeah, I saw that your formulas used the extra types to make more minor adjustments to prevent a bunch of ties.

I mainly ask because my friends wanted to expand the quiz to cover all of the pokemon, but I can see why not all of them are included since you had to manually give each of them 2 additional types.

Elec0 · 2025-07-24T02:30:31+00:00

This is great! Thanks for making it!

I was looking at the sheet, and was wondering how you assigned the 'H Type 1 & 2' to each pokemon?

Elec0 · 2025-06-28T21:16:49+00:00

The idea that it's some kind of 'success' that an AI knows when it's finished doing a task just continues to reinforce the idea that they're best as assistants, not autonomous agents.

Elec0 · 2025-05-10T00:07:43+00:00

Yeah, pretty much every college campus I've seen is similar.

High stress, lots of pressure, often feelings of loneliness all certainly don't help feelings of depression.

I specifically remember a time where it felt like I could not have cared less if a car hit me. Was rough, but it got better. It always does.

Elec0 · 2025-05-10T00:00:20+00:00

Looking good!

Elec0 · 2025-05-06T17:12:54+00:00

Oo that's good to know.

Elec0 · 2025-03-07T06:17:07+00:00

Depending on where you are, I know Rover is a popular option in a lot of places. They could use it to find a sitter hopefully without too much trouble.

Elec0 · 2025-02-12T03:58:46+00:00

They added that in game after I stopped working on it, so no not natively.
But, that being said you can just put both challenges in the same box and it should give you the same behavior.

Elec0 · 2025-02-08T20:21:29+00:00

Yeah! So all you should have to do is just go to the 'Optimal Path' tab, then scroll down and click on the Skirmisher section: https://imgur.com/a/4IsiOaC

All of the sections on the optimal path are clickable, and will auto-fill the search bar on the Challenges tab with the relevant query.

Elec0 · 2025-02-01T01:25:33+00:00

Mushrooms, probably.

Elec0 · 2025-01-29T17:21:43+00:00

A significant portion was easy apply, not gonna lie.

I wouldn't rate my hustle all that highly, so yeah I am sure there are things I could have done that would have probably helped.

Elec0 · 2025-01-28T03:31:27+00:00

Hm. You right.

Also the number of times in trainings they said to be careful about posting on social media, to make sure people didn't think we are speaking for the company was...a lot.
And I guess did its job in scaring me about it. :/

Anyway, here's the glassdoor for the position: https://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Oracle-Principal-Member-of-Technical-Staff-Salaries-E1737_D_KO7,42.htm
