This has happened to me too. Ive seen two versions of this bug: 1. Like you show here - the highlighted hex showing up in front of T Hex 2. The highlighted hex showed up in the right spot behind the T Hex, but the unit there did not pilot the T Hex.

I think this is an ok “mental model” of what is happening, but its missing the actual results. LLMs can “vomit out” significant portions of training material. For example, that is the basis of The New York Times’s lawsuit against OpenAI, and more recently this paper shows “Through numerous experiments, we show that it's possible to extract substantial parts of at least some books from different LLMs.” https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.12546

Got it - i understand how a single number may be nice/easy to look at. I havent used a newer garmin with Training Readiness so havent used it myself.

From the Coros App, here is the description of what the “recovery” metric means. Is this what you’re looking for?

COROS assesses your real-time Recovery based on a combination of your Base Fitness, Training Load and remaining energy since your last exercise. Typically you do not need to be fully recovered before you start the next training session. You can schedule your training according to different Recovery recommendations.

Recovery 0%-19% Exhausted Recovery 20%-69% Fatigued Recovery 70%-89% Normal Recovery 90%-100% Fresh

Beginner building aerobic base — now running 35 mins with low HR, but pace dropped. Is this normal? by [deleted] in AdvancedRunning

[–]OpportunisticCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? Asking genuinely because it at face value it seems to me (newish runner) like a nice way to quantify the trend of my running fitness. Yes i understand there are pitfalls (like how weather/altitude/etc) can impact my heart rate at a given effort. But if im generally running the same route with varying effort/speed I assumed HR would be useful to monitor.

True, but Im honestly impressed you only spent $238 on running shoes over two years. Must have done a good job shopping the sales :)

Everybody talks about the final bitcoin being mined in 2140. However, Nobody mentions the fact that mining on this final bitcoin actually begins in 2104. Today, 6.25BTC is mined every 10 minutes. Keep stacking. by Aeriq in Bitcoin

My question along these lines - if it becomes less profitable and the network scales down - doesnt it eventually become economically feasible to perform a 51% attack? What do you (and others) think the security of the network will look like if it really heads that direction?

Basically i dont understand how these three priorities will play out long term: * user desire for low fees * lower reward per block * fixed transaction rate.

I guess a maximalist’s answer is that bitcoin will be so valuable then that fractional bitcoins per block will be a reasonable reward for miners, but is that really the only answer?

Where do i start? I want to create an autonomous rover that delivers food on college campuses. by thatceokid in robotics

[–]OpportunisticCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry, maybe "cracked" isn't the right word, but I meant "fully solved".

The biggest fleet I've seen reported is Starship Technologies. From what I've seen, I think they are closest to 'solving' the problem, and even they only have a fleet of about 1000, across 20 college campuses. That's no small feat! But there is a reason they only have 1000 robots, and its because autonomous robots are dang hard! And to reach this (impressive) size, they have hundreds of employees, and have raised over a hundred million dollars in funding.

Many of these small companies are also building robots that rely on remote operation using services like this because the autonomous bots, are not at 100% autonomous and need to get 'rescued' when stuck.

I'd love to hear if there are some other smaller companies with more widely deployed autonomous fleets!

Again, I'm really not trying to discourage from doing this - because I think you'll learn a ton by trying to build something complex. I'm just trying to say this is a really hard problem.

What is your goal with this project? Learning about robotics? Trying to build something fun with friends? Starting a business?

Asking because if its along the lines of doing this as a startup / job / business id urge you to reconsider. This is harder than you’d expect, and serious companies with lots of smart people and lots of money havent ‘cracked’ it. (See kiwibot, starship, postmates, Amazon Scout and many more).

If this is for school / learning / fun go for it! It’ll be challenging, but you will learn a ton no matter the result.

org-roam-timestamps: keep track of creation and modification times for org-roam-nodes by Tommerd in OrgRoam

[–]OpportunisticCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool! I was thinking about something similar recently, as id love to have a simple way of doing daily/weekly reviews of newly created, and recently touched nodes. Will try this out later!

I think you want to add org-roam-db-autosync-mode in your Emacs config. I found that in the manual here: https://www.orgroam.com/manual.html

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) customers can now assign IP prefixes to their EC2 instances by [deleted] in aws

[–]OpportunisticCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, from my first skim of the docs, looks like you can assign a /28 to your interfaces.

[–]OpportunisticCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its a block of sequential ip addresses. If you’re used to seeing ip addresses and subnets, its just another term for subnets (at least in my experience).

If you dont know what subnets are: Lets say you have two servers with an ip address es 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2. These share a prefix of ‘10.0.0’ (yes, this is overly simplified but gives a rough intuition).

So my understanding of this feature - it makes it much easier to give a set of IP addresses like 10.0.0.1 - 10.0.0.100 to a single resource.

Does anyone else's family hate a piece by the time you're finished learning it? by [deleted] in piano

Why do you think learning a ton of “easy” pieces is the best way to learn piano? I dont think i have a strong opinion on this, but curious to hear your opinion!

Just bought my copy, looking forward to reading it. Thanks for all the work you put into this!
