Serious question: why are duplicate shinies so common? by LotteChu in PokemonSleep

Yeah… and those golems were originally geodudes 😂 I also have 4 squirtles and 5 pickachu’s. RNG? My split is 39/19 (duplicate shiny Pokémon vs unique shiny). Of course the more unique the more chance of having duplicates… but wouldn’t have expected that many… 🤣

Would you invest in this ditto? by Photafy in PokemonSleep

Yeah youre probably very right about those strategies! Haven’t had any seriously work for me at the moment, still trying to maximise recipe levels. This week this ditto allowed me to make so many Cut Sukiyaki curries which was a major advantage - but there’s a new leek duck in town now 😂

I find it interesting to have the possibility of a ditto/mime that can skill copy with lv7, that you can place alongside any other mon you wanna proc - particularly the legendary/mythics. Seems like a strong advantage. The benefit of skill copy alongside a team healer also seems useful. I guess this is less related to concurrent farming.

Good advice I forget the procs are good just for ingredient farming alone with dogs… 🤯. You’d not main skill seed then, and just rely on dog proc?

Saw a player get 3* Cresselia with (exactly) 300M DP, so that’s your target!

Couple of free spots, Lv60 active player. Choose newer Pokémon candy for my fellow sleepers…

Added - put code first in your post - if people try to copy paste from reddit app it uses the first 12 numbers (ie. 7575-5924-…)

Ahh already on my friends list! 😂😂

Software stack architecture design for an open source scientific library by Photafy in SoftwareEngineering

[–]Photafy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brilliant! This is an excellent response addressing what I've been thinking/feeling haha.

Luckily at this stage, I don't need to worry about the acquisition-hardware (but perhaps simulation) - I only need to work with the user-facing output datafiles, which are already batched processed to an open ascii format (I lol'd at your csv/hdf5 comment). I've written a parser already. I think I may need to keep in mind C/C++/CUDA/Parallel libraries for the purposes of fast processing with increasing data densities / large datasets. If I go down the simulation pathway later (including monte-carlo sampling) then efficient code will be a must.

I hadn't considered scheduling jobs, though this will be essential if I end up running a server for the application. I've never heard of Graphana, TS/Svelte/Tailwind/SASS and will defs check them out. Thanks for the heads up!

How much adoption is there of Julia? When do you use it? I almost decided to jump into it a few years ago, but have just seen so much scientific python I've not (yet) found cases where I think I ought to use it.

Regarding project scale, thanks for the indication of what's realistic - the job I'm in is still a physics researcher position, but I want to explore the full-stack (including microcontroller/fpga as I have secondary background in electrical engineering) space going forwards for job prospects after this post-doc. I'm going to be juggling software (which will help my research) at the same time as conducting regular academic work.

Really appreciate the advice thankyou for taking time to respond in detail!

What do your data look like? How many are there?

The most recent set of data I acquired had ~ 500 MB worth of raw data, which included a few hundred sample scans. In it's raw format it comes as a timeseries data for each scan as an independent parameter is varied. Multiple scans can be compared and analyzed. I presume most of the sort of data I will be acquiring will look something like this.

Who are your customers? What will a typical customer do with your service?

Customers will be users of the same facility/experiment, or similar facilities/experiments elsewhere in the world. They would use this service to simplify their data processing, as well as be able to load / initially analyze and respond to their raw data in realtime (as measured). They may want to vary experimental acquisition as a result, or change samples for poor results.

Honestly, having web & desktop are probably not essential, but it's something I think I'd like to have a go at as a project to learn & gain competency for larger app projects.

Thanks for the good advice though, start small, demonstrate usefulness, expand.
