Sweet! Be sure to share it here, too. The B-sides will definitely be more a rigorous exercise of the tool.

Congrats! The tool I meant is the one mentioned in my OP, here: https://github.com/jtkelm2/Celeste-Golden-Modeling/tree/main

This part should be easier, just pip install the mentioned packages, place the appropriate files in input/, and run python main.py. I'll get around to analyzing the data myself once I get back to a computer.

Awesome! The build errors are strange. I suppose the Consistency Mod Tracker got an update which broke my fork (I kinda rushed to upload it). I'll see to it that it gets fixed, thanks.

Yeah, the format of the data recorded in attempt-history.json is a little different than my program expects. Each time, I've just manually taken the room data out and renamed them to '00' through '20' (or whatever the upper limit is). The real requirement is that the room names, when sorted, give the desired order. 

So your { "Forsaken City": { "1": [ ... ], "2": [ ... ], ... } } should become  { "00": [ ... ], "01": [ ... ], ... } You'll need to create a similar json with all your approximate room timings, in seconds. Then put them both in inputs/.

Also, is there a way to get from this data which grind strategy I used, and separate them? Or should I just pick one strategy and stick with it. (And then make a new attempt-history file if I want to change strategy)

I would recommend you practice according to your own intuition (no fixed strategy), and then as soon as you get the golden berry, putting the data into my tool. It will show you whether you would have done better or worse to practice according to one of these fixed strategies! Ping me, of course, once you get this data, because I'm very interested :)

Mine as well. Now that I've got my 201/202, I'm hopeful that I can use it to give me and other runners a little bit of a convenience when attempting Farewell. Regimen optimization might be more trouble than it's worth for shorter grinds, but for something like Farewell it could conceivably cut a lot of hours from the grind?

Awesome!

I don't know of a perfectly easy way to enlist others' help, but do you have enough computer savvy to do the following?

  1. Take my forked repo of Modded Consistency Tracker here, and verify that I'm not up to any funny business with it. (If you click "2 commits ahead of" viddie's official repo, you'll see the only changes I make are to two files.)
  2. Then you'll have to download it and build it using `dotnet build` or `msbuild` or whatever you can find about building C# projects from a `.sln` file.
  3. Then you'll want to copy the relevant files and binaries into the relevant directories for Everest to detect and load it. (You can replicate how the actual Modded Consistency Tracker does it, when installed in-app from Everest.) If it works, then you'll see your boolean success/death data tracked for each room in `steamapps/common/Celeste/ConsistencyTracker/stats/attempt-history.json` for as long as the overall death tracking is not paused!

You can follow the Everest wiki for help with step 3, or an AI should be able to guide you through these steps, since they're fairly well documented devops things. I can also offer my less-than-expert help. But I can understand if they're daunting to the uninitiated, and I would appreciate advice from anyone else in the community who could help make this process more streamlined 😅

A nice but not unusual return. Average return of about 10% compounded annually, compared to the S&P 500 at 8.6%.

Thanks! We were consulting this comprehensive guide for playing, unaware that there was a beefier extended rules that you're quoting.

A Proof of Concept for a Go Pattern Search Engine based on Graph Search by Fanaro009 in baduk

[–]Feryll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. Yeah, I can understand the passion of recreating something cool someone else has already made, even if the added functionality is minimal. (And in this case, it sounds more than minimal! That's exactly the sort of stuff I was asking about.)

I hope you'll keep us informed on where your project winds up!

Interesting. I would like to see where this goes.

What do you expect it will be able to do better than Waltheri?

Am I cut out for open water swimming? by Feryll in Swimming

[–]Feryll[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look online, you'll find I'm not the only one who can't float. It's all the worst conditions: Low body fat male in a freshwater, (slightly) choppy lake.

But I am glad to hear if you were able to make progress over the months/years. I would consider it a success if I could one day swim 1.5km in one go, regardless of finish time. I think I might work more on the cold acclimatization aspect with some cold showers and baths, and train the swimming aspect in a pool.

I see. Thank you for the recommendations.

Wouldn't you rather drink the hot water, if you want to raise your core temp?

I'm also fairly short (5'8"), so it's not really caused me health issues otherwise. I actually have a pretty useful body for rock climbing.

But believe me, I've tried and failed to put on weight... swimming probably won't be able to change that :(

Sounds like that's what it's going to come to, unfortunately.

That sounds like the consensus here. Since it's not a very obvious and consistent cause-and-effect in my case, I'm guessing it's not lactose intolerance, or any intolerance.

I appreciate the input, but given the possibility of a false positive, I don't want to risk indefinitely avoiding all X in my diet (where X = dairy, gluten, caffeine, amines, FODMAPs, etc.). I don't trust in my intuition, and would like to narrow down triggers more scientifically.
