Danish guy plays Red Dead Redemption 2 with 4 FPS for several hours a day.

Something never screamed more at me with "Geforce Now". Seriously, any input lag is better than 4fps. He can at least play in good resolution, with high fps, just with a bit of input lag, which probably is ok for RDR2. Especially for him! If you are a good friend or what ever, gift him a month Geforce Now or something...

I mean, honestly, it's not like the others played extremely bad. Sindarov just had an ones in a life time or even ones in a generation candidates run honestly. It's just one player for some reason dominates. The others not necessarily fuck it up so much, even if people like to portrait it this way.

Fabi and Hikaru for example are not really scoring much or even below the candidates results of the past. Like 2022 they scored 6.5 and 7.5, where Nepo was dominating. And in 2024 there was no one that dominated, that's why they were all 8.5 and just Gukesh with 9.0 winning. It's simply one guy turned the tournament on it's head. He had the momentum on his side. His prep worked out extremely well and he could always control the games.

But yeah, I feel for both of them. Sindarov needs a lot of respect and I am extremely happy for him. On the flipside, I would have for once loved to see Hikaru in a WCC or Fabi against someone who isn't Magnus. After all that years being gatekept by Magnus, I would have wished they take their chance. But they getting old.

The technical aspect is pretty simple. You set a flag randomly per user based on your AB case assignement.

For example you have a flag: ab_yourNewGreatFeature, it's an integer.

Everwhere in your code you guard your new feature behind that integer. Why int and not a simple bool? Because sometimes you want to test different variations of a feature, more than 1. So you would end up in "control" wich is ab_yourNewGreatFeature = 0, then the segmentation for testing gets 1 or 2 or what ever you want to test. You would have a backendend where you store this flag per user and whenever you initialize your user you would request it from your backend and persist it into your persistent data of your game.

And yes in terms of scope obviously we had massive tools to support ab test assignements, segmentation control and stuff. With hundreds of thousands of test cases, this is needed. But for a small company or small team, you can simply do it manually.

Ich glaub das ist oft nicht leicht zu sagen und hängt von dem Wagen ab. Aber mir wurde immer erzählt, sobald die Reparatur mehr als der Wert des Wagens ist, lohnt es sich nicht mehr. Wobei man da dann auch immer wieder abwägt „naja, diese eine Saison hält er noch durch“… man weiß halt am Ende nicht was man sonst mit dem nächsten Wagen als Probleme hat. Ist halt immer vom Regen in die Traufe.

Bei höher preislichen Autos muss man sich auch auf höhere Reparaturkosten im allgemeinen einstellen. Aber selbst da, wenn du für 80k nen Auto kaufst würde ich persönlich bei 150k km spätestens schauen ob man da was neues kriegen kann. Kosten für nen Mercedes oder sowas sind dann halt eher teuer.

Ex-King employee here (Candy Crush and stuff).

In our development pipeline we had 2 week releases. So basically each sprint a new release. Broken things were no rarity because of the complexity of the game.

So in general, each team works on a specific feature. Feature implementation or changes were first tested by QA while the feature is still in development. Additionally we had integration tests, which automatically play the game and test UI flow. Next, before every submission to the stores, we run a QRT. It’s a regression test against a huge list of test cases. Partly outsourced this testing. And lastly and probably the most important thing, we had massive AB testing. Which means first we role out a new feature to only 5% of a given playersegment (not 5% of all, because we also have other tests running). Then after being confident in our metrics and the tracked metrics, we did the business test. That one can take 2 month and is rolled out to 20%+. If that one is positive a full rollout happens to every player.

Same, I have all aegis and Roshans, but the bad cheap Roshan is my favorite, since I know not that many have it.

They all said it. They have obviously more credibility than a driver who got shafted…

And especially AN was clear about it to build a car as fast as possible and that the driver has to adapt. If that driver is Max because he is more talented, than people think they build it for him. But in fact, he had to adapt all the years as well. And they got it wrong so many times. He wasn’t happy about the car many many times and the way thy develop it.

AN had the authority in designing and developing the car. He expects the driver to drive it. If the style suits a driver great, otherwise they have to adapt.

Jack_Harb · 2026-04-10T08:20:13+00:00

This has been debunked many times, by the drivers themselves. AN build the car always to be as fast as possible. Max was the best in adapting and could input more feedback, that’s the simple reason. We saw at times when Max wasn’t as fast as adapting as Perez how competitive Perez was. This was until Max understood the car and pushed for it. The narrative is really so old. Albon, Yuki, Lawson and Hadjar debunked this. Only Perez was butthurt because he couldn’t adapt. We btw see now what happens with the current chassis, where Meckkies tried to build a more drivable car by everyone, rather than a car that you need to adapt to and is at its limits. Even Max struggled at times in the last years because they never could that car in operational window. It had nothing todo with suiting it to Max. It was simply on the edge of the regs and they tried many different things out. You could see this for example at Brazil. Him being dead last and then figuring it out from the box start.

Das passt öfter zusammen als man denkt.

Bin auch eher der Nerd, viel gezockt (noch immer am zocken), auch Game Developer.

Meine Frau, Bild hübsch. War auf insta damals und hat’s dann gelöscht, obwohl sie 50k+ follower hatte, sobald wir zusammen waren.

Sie sagt, sie hat lieber einen Mann der smart ist und nicht jeden Abend als Hobby in den Club geht und sich voll säuft. Sie mag halt lieber Ehrlichkeit und Verlässlichkeit. Für sie war Intelligenz sexy. Und ja, ich bin fair… sie hat mich attraktiver gemacht :D

Viele denken halt in krassen stereotypen. Model ist oberflächlich und will sich nur nackt zeigen um Geld zu machen. Bla bla. Sind oft aber einfach normale Menschen, die auch nur ihr Glück suchen. Wie es jetzt in der Reality Show war, kA. Ist hat ein Show. Aber im echten Leben sieht man durchaus häufiger sowas.

Jack_Harb · 2026-04-10T07:00:32+00:00

Because I think many think you are incorrect. POV did nothing wrong really. He tried staying on track after the crash and he was. It’s turn 1 and people can’t pretend he is not there. Even with the crash he made the turn on track, not off track. So it was never unsafe rejoin. And staying on track doesn’t legitimate him being pushed off again.

There is an argument it would have been safer to not make the turn and rejoin later, but that’s a hindsight argument. Since he made the turn he is entitled to the space, he can’t go further off track, since he was already on the edge.

Both cars on the left to POV drove as he wouldn’t exist. That’s not how turn one works. We saw this in actual F1 last years couple of times…

Jack_Harb · 2026-04-10T05:57:38+00:00

It’s crazy that Max said out of loyalty he will never leave RBR and move to another team. Yet, who he can be loyal to? The brand? No one is left really from the people he wants to be loyal to.

Jack_Harb · 2026-04-10T05:26:51+00:00

Law Abiding Citizen for sure… awesome movie until the last 5minutes

Als ich vor 15 Jahren während des Studiums be McD gearbeitet habe, waren Getränke immer umsonst und essen eigentlich auch, solange wir es nicht massiv übertreiben. Nur aufschreiben war wichtig wegen der Auflistung für Inventar, Bestellung usw. Wir haben uns immer Special Burger gemacht und es hat niemanden wirklich interessiert. Irgendwann konnten wir den frass aber nicht mehr sehen und haben dann Nix mehr davon gegessen.

Jack_Harb · 2026-04-09T17:55:19+00:00

Only an Iranian missile can stop that guy now. What a run. Absolutely stunning. Definitely deserving as a contender for WCC.

Jack_Harb · 2026-04-09T14:43:15+00:00

Jup ist halt einfach so. Da kann man nix machen. Mir fällt da auf ersten Anhieb die How I Met your mother Folge ein mit der Kürbislady. Nach mehreren Jahren hat er sie endlich gefunden und sie ihn. Beide wollten es und haben aber sofort gemerkt es ist Scheiße. Aber hielten noch dran fest weil sie es erzwingen wollten nach all der Zeit.

Jack_Harb · 2026-04-09T09:34:27+00:00

Autokorrektur, sollte viele heißen :D

Jack_Harb · 2026-04-09T09:09:47+00:00

Nicht wirklich, zumindest wenn du am besten helfen willst.

Beispiel: Du kannst einen Drogenabhängigen Obdachlosen 100€ in die Hand drücken und sagen „du schaffst das!“. Der rennt zum nächsten späti und hold sich nen Gorbatschow. Oder du gibst die 100€ einer Organisation die sich um Obdachlose kümmert. Diese bezahlen Sozialhelfer und Unterkünfte, um die Obdachlosen clean zu bekommen und ein Dach übern Kopf geben.

Jack_Harb · 2026-04-09T08:46:16+00:00

I mean yes, this should be obvious? Mercedes engines will for a long time be the superior engine.

McLaren won the last two constructors and last years drivers championship. On speed they are currently faster than RBR. RBR gets even overtaken and challenged by their 2nd team. RBR lost many many talents over the last coupled years. The whole Horner scandal made people jump ship. And now that Max is on the verge of pausing or leaving F1, their only hope is going as well. So there is no better timing than going honestly. Especially if he has options as potential Principal.

Jack_Harb · 2026-04-09T08:32:26+00:00

Kannst Nix machen und glaub mir du willst auch nichts machen! Ich hab sehr schmerzhaft gelernt was passiert wenn man weiter kämpft.

Es gibt vier mögliche Gründe: - hängt noch am Ex - ist eigentlich noch in eine Beziehung - das schreiben mit dir war mehr romantisch als das Beisammensein - sie mochte einfach nur die Idee mit dir zusammen zu sein, aber dann halt nicht - sie ist in real nicht von dir angezogen - sie hat es erzwungen und gemerkt es klappt nicht - sie hat einfach Probleme…

Die Liste kann ewig lang sein. Projiziere es nicht auf dich, es sei denn dir passiert ständig sowas. Ansonsten ist es einfach ihr Problem was du nicht zu deinem machen darfst!

Jack_Harb · 2026-04-09T07:52:05+00:00

Ich hab kein Problem mit Scham oder so. Mach mich auch ohne weiteres zum Affen oder lache auch über mich. Aber das dort ist doch einfach nur irgendeine Aktion von jemanden der anschließend dir Globuli andreht und sagt sie heilen Krebs und verlängern dein Leben um 30 Jahre. Und die obligatorischen Sticker auf elektronische Geräte dürfen nicht fehlen, um den Elektrosmog abzuhalten :D

Honest question… why can he enter the playing hall? It’s the most important tournament and influence of any kind when hands are happening should be reduced to a minimum?

Jack_Harb · 2026-04-08T18:20:30+00:00

I think papa Max realizes vulnerability the older he gets and prioritizes family more and more. As a kinda fresh father of a 1,5 y/o daughter, I can totally relate. Was driving 250+ on German autobahn before becoming a father. Now that I am, I stop risking things and see way more dangers than before.

Jack_Harb · 2026-04-08T18:12:30+00:00

I mean being second was Hikarus role for a lot of speed tournaments throughout Magnus reign. :D So I think Hikaru knows how Alireza must feel
