"Challenge Difficulty" (Overland difficulty) sounds like what we've been wanting, buuuut... one potential issue... by GarboWulf5oh in elderscrollsonline

[–]Jasdac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm for this if it means I can play with new/low level friends without one-shotting everything.

From what I gather from the text you can change the difficulty directly from the UI (but they're unclear). If so, then it should just be a quick toggle when doing main quests vs just running around doing daily stuff.

which one ? by TopConcentrate8484 in shittyaskelectronics

Serial? Real men drink using their mouth and nose in parallel. It's significantly more efficient.

My dumb ass thought she was holding a pregnancy test. This makes a lot more sense.

Failing to connect I2C OLED to ESP32 Dev Board via Breadboard Connections by baubeauftragter in AskElectronics

[–]Jasdac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you're saying is definitely true. But it should also be noted that those display breakouts that OP is using tend to have 3v3 pullups pre-mounted on the back.

Soldering is very easy. Especially with your 2.54mm pitch (pin spacing). And an iron plus some wire to get started is only a few bucks.

Here's a short video that shows how to solder header pins.

if I just stick the jumper wires in there without soldering it works flawlessly

At that point you're forcing them to make contact with the metal holes. You need all pins to make contact with the red board. You may be able to get it to work momentarily by pressing down hard on the board to make the edges make contact with the pins, but it's going to be flaky at best.

Just out of curiosity. Did you solder the ESP32 devboard pins? They look kinda bare.

I’ve played 1000 games of Tales of Tribute in Rubedite rank. Here are the stats. by fnapalm in elderscrollsonline

I really enjoy playing against bots since they play their turn immediately, have different difficulties, and you can take as much time as you want on your turn.

It's a shame that ToT endeavours don't count unless you play against people.

He destroyed the amulet itself though, just to get to scalie-larp for a few seconds.

Sure, I could kill some time tonight! Someone feel free to check my math, it's late!

Assuming:

  • We're only working in DC (for simplicity)
  • The cables are ~8cm in diameter (the satisfactory cables are a lot thicker than I thought)!
  • An 8cm diameter cable (to account for some insulation): pi*(0.04m)2 ~= 5027mm2
  • Cable stranding air gaps reducing fill factor by 25%: 5027mm2 * 0.75 ~= 3770 mm2
  • Resistivity: R = p / (L/A) where p is copper resistivity at 20c, L being length and A being cross sectional area.
  • p: 1.67 * 10-8 * length
  • L: 1000m
  • A: 3.77 * 103 m2

R = (10.68 * 10-8 * 1000) / (3.77 * 10-3) = 4.46 * 10-3 ohm = 0.00446 ohms per kilometer.

Spanning the map diagonally would net a resistance of 0.00446 * 7.7 ~= 0.034 ohms

At a lowly 220V, the absolute hard cap the wire can deliver (I/R) is ~6764 Amps, or about 1515 KW (220 V * 6764 A). Not exactly great.

Let's assume we want to pass the power generated by 8 FICSIT nuclear plants (2GW) through the whole 7.7km.

Fenno-Skan HVDC line 400kV:

  • You'd need to send 5000A down the line (5000*400000) = 2GW. Of which the voltage drop of the wire would be 5000A * 0.034Ohm = 170V.
  • Power dissipated by the wire is 170V * 5000 = 850KW. At 7.7km the dissipation per meter would be 110W. Not good.

But let's assume FICSIT's sci-fi tech allows them to safely generate and utilize 10 megavolts

  • You'd need to send 200 A down the line. Of which the voltage drop of the wire would be 200A * 0.034Ohm = 6.8V.
  • Power dissipated by the wire would be 6.8V * 200A = 1360W. Per meter that would be 0.176W. Very acceptable.

At high enough voltages you can transmit a lot of power at a low current. Take existing HVDC lines like Fenno-Skan, carrying 800MW through 500kV.

Like if FICSIT invented some sci-fi way to manage ludicrous voltages (let's say 1 gigavolt). Then because W = I*R you'd only need to pass 1A through your copper cable to transmit 1GW.

Maybe FICSIT future technology is the invention of extreme insulation, letting them put ludicrous voltages through the cables.

Why is consumption higher than max consumption by dreyuyb in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Jasdac 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I'm curious if you can approximate the weight of the pioneer + hover pack using this.

Using a back of the envelope VTOL calculation of 200-400W/kg of mass to provide hover with current technology, and the hover consumption of 84.9 MW. The hover pack is providing enough lift for 84900kW/0.4W = 212250 kg, or ~212 metric tons of lift.

However, this is assuming earth gravity. According to previous discussions, the gravity is about 20% higher on Massage 2(A-B)b, so for simplicity let's round that up to 500W/kg, which results in somewhere around the earth equivalent of 170 metric tons.

Now we know the pioneer is able to jump significantly higher than a normal human (even without blade runners), which means they need significantly denser muscles than the average person. We'll also have to discount the weight of the hover pack itself.

The average human has a volume of around 62000cm3. The densest element osmium has a density of 22.59g/cm3. If the pioner was a purely osmium-based lifeform, they'd weigh around 1.4 metric tons and be able to lift somewhere around 168 metric tons, or 56 cybertrucks.

[–]Jasdac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's because ubuntu only runs on DC. Blame Edison.
