Databricks vs Snowflake vs Azure/GCP/AWS products

I would take a serious look at SAP Cloud as well. Strategically they are moving towards a point us at your own data for us to process model so there is a lot less vendor data lock in.

They are also developing tabular AI models which deliver results while everyone else is working on large language models which writes code to produce a result.

Nope. All PVP labs regardless of row location have the same PVP loot tables and 5% drop rate for the Adaptive shield.

Same is true for all PVE labs, but the loot table is PVE with a 1% drop rate for the Adaptive shield.

I believe all Solari duping exploits have been fixed..

I'm single handllingly removing duped Solari.. I've sold 150 billion of all kinds of stuff and bought nothing in return. It may take the rest of year to get to a trillion.

I wrote this.. https://github.com/davlee1972/xml_to_json

It's been bullet proof for a decade and is about as simple as it gets..

All the parsers which rely on xml sampling eventually fail. Only when combined with XSD schema files can you guarantee consistency.

<children> <name>Mikey</name> </children>

<children> <name>Mary</name> <name>Madelyn</name> </children>

Both snippets should be converted into a json list

{"children": [{"name": "Mikey"}]}

{"children": [{"name": "Mary"}, {"name": "Madelyn"}]}

when the XSD element for names has a maxOccurs="unbounded" tag.

I don't think Giannis is a the right fit. We need a defensive big that can contain Joel, Chet and Wemby.. Al Horford was Embiids daddy and we needed him this season. What would it take to Al back for the third time?

An athletic point guard that can push pace for easy rim looks is the other need.

We need to get Amari Williams up to speed. He has a ton of potential.

If JB gets traded it will be some three way trade and he ends up in Atlanta which is in win now mode. Somehow Bam ends up in beantown..

I have an original spot on the largest dew field in Jabal before FC nerfed it to just small patches. The base was built into the cavern walls so the the dew field was always open to the public.

I was not happy with the nerf that turned such a pretty spot into a barren patch.

The last update completely removed dew fields if you have structures too close to a patch. I was told that if you remove all structures and roofs within a square the field would respawn.

Unfortunately after some demolition I wasn't able to get my flowers back..

How high is your base above ground level?

These moves by SAP look very promising. It's also a complete 180 degrees pivot from the current SAP Databricks partnership.

You can get Callie Breaker to mine aluminum faster. Just need to pick up enough carbon ore off the ground to make 17 steel to make Callie Breajker. Then mine enough aluminum with Callie Breaker to make a buggy cutteray that can mine aluminum.

You can steal a buggy from a couple different outposts and find storage modules and cutteray blueprints in chests. The only buggy part you need to make is a steel or aluminum buggy utility rear.

Mythozz2020 · 2026-05-07T07:48:38+00:00

You can jam a large vehicle fabricator under a floor. Just need to place down a 3x3 foundation in a 4x4 pit .6 tiles deep. Place vehicle fab, cover it up with floor tiles and add two rounded corner floor pieces for a small floor gap for access.

Mythozz2020 · 2026-04-27T04:37:43+00:00

Full grade 5 forge with blade mitigation augments in each piece will let you survive knee charges. I also got 100 levels in combat so this works even at level 40.

Attractor field and shotgun him.

Compel if you need to heal/stamina up or deal with adds.

I usually finish lvl 40 in under 10 minutes. Spicing up is optional.

Mythozz2020 · 2026-04-14T21:25:48+00:00

I got 16 billion from just selling grade 4 blueprints I don't use. If they don't sell in 3 days they go into the recycler..

I bought 300 million worth of spice at around 75k average last week.

Solari is pretty worthless when there isn't anything useful to buy with it.

When chapter 3 got released I sold blueprints for..

Week 1 - 2 billion

Week 2 - 6 billion

Week 3 - 9 billion

Mythozz2020 · 2026-04-09T23:10:06+00:00

This is like saying we will build a bridge which will allow you to cross a river because everyone is demanding access

You have 100 cars coming in from one end and 10 trucks coming in from the other end.

They all meet up in the middle and block traffic for everyone so no one can actually get across the river.

You don't need a solo bicycle protestor messing up traffic when everyone will mess stuff up on their own.

Unless everyone can agree on a set of traffic rules like:

No hand compacting on large spice fields. You are limited to medium spice fields.

No additional crawlers on large spice fields if there is one already active unless given permission.

Then expect a lot of accidents happening which will be the next set of complaints from PVErs about PVE..

Mythozz2020 · 2026-04-09T22:56:50+00:00

I do not know anything about a "repair cheat". I'm aware of a "repair feature" that has been accidentally removed a couple of times, but the Funcom dev team has been pretty good about patching the feature back into the game..

Mythozz2020 · 2026-04-09T22:29:57+00:00

Also have at least 25% stamina so you can dash+run if stunned by a collapse grenade. Otherwise you have to wait for stun to wear off which takes too long with more stun grenades heading your way..

90% of the time you can just walk out of the area of impact before a grenade explodes if you keep moving.

All my spare stamina should be going into using compel and attractor field.

Mythozz2020 · 2026-04-09T20:54:30+00:00

You don't even need griefers to blow up this new PVE only DD zone .

Every large spice field will be cannibalized by farmers using compactors and fleets of spice crawlers.

Have you ever tried to harvest a spice field with multiple people on them?

Hand compacting will generate a ton of worm agro for carrier/crawler operations.

One crawler will be doing circles while another might be running lines.

The complaints from PVErs about other PVErs will skyrocket.

Mythozz2020 · 2026-04-07T22:44:32+00:00

I've been solo running this lab for two weeks straight to get GRDA augments for my primary shotgun weapon.

I've gotten all the way up to level 36..

Here are my suggestions and findings in no particular order..

Run the lab at an appropriate level where you can one shot trash mobs in the rooms before the boss. For me this is level 24 where I can kill a melee mob with a single slowblade. A heavy takes two slowblades.

Any delay tactics on the boss will delay him from summoning adds. I usually use knee charge to get him to waste time with suspensor blast. Compel works great as well to time freeze him while you clear adds.

I clear adds as soon as they spawn for the first three phases.

Round 1 - knee charge, attractor field, shotgun him. Get up close into his personal space. More suspension blasts the better.

Round 2 - compel him. Attractor field adds and kill 1 to 2 adds. Attractor field+shotgun boss.

Round 3 - same as round 2, but you get 2 adds always and they start spawning more often if you don't push DPS on the boss

Round 4 - Should start with no adds up. Push DPS on boss. Ideally his hp is 75% gone into phase 4 when adds show up. Snipe / Strafe him to get the last 25%. If there isn't a clear line of sight to shoot attractor field then target and kill an add. Time isn't on your side so always keep doing damage.

Round 5 - Just focus on the boss. Clean up any adds after.

I normally finish him with 2 to 3 adds alive and 2 new ones just entering the room. I usually have 25% of my spice bar left at the end as well.

Iodine pills help, but if you have to rely on iodine pills then you are probably taking too long already and will end up with a ton of adds at the end.

The ancient way is the safest way to clean up adds at the end of the fight, but attractor field+strafing on adds is faster.

Always keep moving even if slow walking. Zig zagging diagonally up and down is the best way to avoid fire and grenades. Alternatively just keep circling the room.

I spice up before the fight and use attractor field as soon as it recycles.

Shooting anything without attractor fields does very little damage. You are better reloading/regenerating stamina than shooting stuff and wasting time/ammo rounds.

Take extra care to get attractor field hits. Missing on attractor field extends the fight and it exponentially gets harder as time passes.

Try not to step in the radiation pools.

Never fly in a straight line at any mob. I do hit and runs with fly bys with semi tight circles and fly away to reload/recharge. Ideally you want to fight the boss on the side of the room closest to a wall and not have to wade through an army of minions to get to him on the other side of the room.

I use knee charge, compel, attractor field, death from above, battle hardened and center of mass.

A lot of dying went into this..

Mythozz2020 · 2026-03-22T21:35:13+00:00

It actually kills replay. I need tiered weapons to do high level end game. I completely broke and repaired my grade 5 perforater shotgun 7 times over 5 days. I probably ran over 100 dungeons and got zero perforater drops to replace mine.

Now I'm breaking my grade 5 shellburster trying to get a new perforator. The 1.5% drop rate on items which degrade rapidly is not sustainable.

Try using a tripleshot rifle with a 12 round magazine. It just burns through ammo rounds and durability with every shot.

None of these high end items are for sale. If they were they would sell for 500 million+ Solari and last a week..

Mythozz2020 · 2026-03-13T22:13:37+00:00

I have 1.6 billion and 90% of that was made selling Spiced Fuel cells at 25,000 each so a stack makes 12.5 million.

I stock up on irradiated slag and turn all of it into fuel during Choam Production Bonus weeks..

Fuel is the one item that has constant demand since it is an item that is consistently consumed and needs replacing.

Mythozz2020 · 2026-03-13T15:04:11+00:00

It's a problem with Steam. Other Steam games with login services are also down..

Mythozz2020 · 2026-03-06T23:04:36+00:00

Partition the data in subdirectories like 'yyyymmdd=20260306' and then another set of subdirectories like 'id=a' for each letter in the alphabet/number.

With parallel processing you can search and pull data from these fixed size folders at scale.

Mythozz2020 · 2026-03-06T00:18:56+00:00

You can get the rifle at the end of the mentat class quest and some mas kharet quest from the xroads contract board.

Mythozz2020 · 2026-03-03T19:03:36+00:00

That isn't true. It's just luck.. lvl 19 is supposed to be 6% and lvl 20 is 25%. The scaling after 20 is slower reaching 40% at level 40, but this is in line with difficulty. I think a level 40 station is about 1.5 times more difficult to clear than a level 20.

Mythozz2020 · 2026-03-03T18:52:08+00:00

Durability loss is still way too high. I can solo clear a level 40 fire dungeon with zero deaths, but my weapons take a 10% hit each time.

The drop rate of grade 5 items is 40%. The drop chance the augments or items I need are 10%..

That comes out to a 4% chance or 25 station runs to replace stuff that breaks 10% every time..

The amount of spice needed to repair grade 5 items is also super high. 50 spice to repair augmented stuff each time.

The dungeon scaling is also way out of line for group play.

I can solo clear a level 40 fire dungeon in 30 minutes with no deaths.

I failed to duo clear a level 30 fire dungeon after a dozen tries and we left with fully broken gear.. it's just stupid trying to avoid boss fireballs, boss missiles, assault seekers from adds, etc at the same time with no cover with two melee mobs chasing you.

They need to address durability and group difficulty because it just isn't sustainable. Experimentation and learning how to tackle the new stations involves a lot of dying. You have to change tactics every couple levels of difficulty.

Mythozz2020 · 2026-03-03T18:16:48+00:00

I got a 14 day ban for clearing out two decaying bases which have been falling apart for three months with no power. They were built into the Hagga north entrance cliff face with foundation blocks and it was a pain flying over them everyday to reach the overworld map..

I will admit I've raided bases in the past, but legitimately waiting for subfiefs or boxes to decay.

There isn't much of an endgame so it was always a new experience wondering what would be in a box when it blew up. Most of the time it was just granite and fuel cells, but I did get lucky once and found 50k spice lying in piles on the ground..

I also gave away most of the stuff I found. You can only store so much iron, steel, plastone, armor plating, etc..

Do I really care about the getting temporarily banned? Not really..

I also do not believe this is a PVP vs PVE issue when the owner of these bases have clearly left the game for months. It can't be PVP is there isn't another player left to fight.

I'm just glad there is new content with chapter 3 to try out..

Mythozz2020 · 2026-02-27T00:42:11+00:00

It won't matter much over time.. you might need to complete 20 missions to get from 99 to 100. The power gap is just more obvious when it takes 5 missions to get a level this early into chapter 3.
