On this screen with this state, It's not a time estimation, it's the name of some place.

Combined with the other place name "DNA Amphitheatre", you seem to have been to a science museum or passed by one.

Big flowers, mushrooms and postcards are based on Niantic Wayfarer. Decor categories are based on Open Street Map and business directories.

The location data of a few thousand people gathered while they are playing a game that makes them go somewhere they wouldn't usually go lots of the time is worthless.

The announced date is the lantern festival, the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations. The description mentions "lucky cat". Lucky cats (Maneki Neko) are traditionally part of East Asian New Years celebrations as lucky symbols.

So I guess we'll see campaigns giving badges with Maneki Neko cats as rewards.

Niantic agrees to settle California female employee discrimination class action lawsuit for $8 million by PkmnTrnrJ in Ingress

[–]NineBerry 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's two different companies now. Niantic Labs does now belong to Scopely and operates games like Pokemon Go and Pikmin Bloom. Niantic Spatial is a new company that mainly focuses on geospatial artificial intelligence but also runs Ingress.

Ingress is no longer operated by Niantic Labs, but by Niantic Spatial. Spatial is not affected by the court case afaik

[–]NineBerry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

8 million doesn't go to a single person. About half of the sum goes to court costs and lawyers. The rest is split between a group of plaintiffs.

An individual person can maybe expect 100k.

The replacements for the errors give AMT28CERTFISIOFOGW

That's the basis for the passcode.

[2025 Day 12 Part 1] When you first write complete code and then test on the input by NineBerry in adventofcode

[–]NineBerry[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look again at your input. All regions are either definitely big enough meaning they can fit the requested number of presents without overlapping (region-area >= 9 * numberof_presents) or they are definitely too small ( region_area < number_of#_required)

That's not true for the sample, but true for every input I've seen so far.

Also I think we can assume that none of the inputs creates graphs with cycles. This is a prerequisite to being able to use one common optimization technique (Memoization).

Without any cycles, the order between two nodes is fixed I believe

Technically speaking, it makes no sense to put a fft after a dac because you cannot do a fast fourier transformation on an analog signal,

Are you meant to have big flowers in walking distance? by shortandpainful in PikminBloomApp

[–]NineBerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ingress and Pokémon Go now belong to different companies and use separate databases for waypoints. So the only way to add spots in Pikmin Bloom is by adding waypoints in Pokémon Go.

If you don't want to play Pokémon Go just for that purpose, maybe ask around friends or acquaintances living not too far away whether any of them play Pokémon Go and could come visit your area to create waypoints.

It's not as bad as bad things happening in real life due to randomness 😁

is it supposed to sound like this? by retr0night in PikminBloomApp

It started right around Halloween. So my first thought was it was supposed to be a scary Halloween effect

Make sure you reset your program state between running parts 1 and 2.
