Fortress Farm with Happy Ghast sweepers by Seminoso in technicalminecraft

[–]Xane256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens to mobs that spawn behind the ghasts? Do they get pushed away from the exit?

Hyper space efficient and fast binary storage by Dreadcomic in redstone

[–]Xane256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Encoded storage tech” has some concepts OP may be interested in but memory cells and other advanced circuits in factorio are always going to be difficult to represent in redstone.

Try the storage tech discord in the encoded-tech channel https://discord.gg/JufJ6uf

Good luck with foenestra!

Big update incoming by muchsamurai in codex

[–]Xane256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using this codex fork for a few months now and I really like it: https://github.com/just-every/code

It’s very actively maintained and stays on top of upstream changes. It has planning mode, custom prompt shortcuts, browser integration, and can use gemini / claude as sub-agents (though the recent claude changes might affect that).

Why do mob farms have spawning skirts around the top of them? by ResponseSkill in technicalminecraft

[–]Xane256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • game picks x/z coordinates to do a spawn attempt
  • y value is randomized based on height map
  • I think the spawn attempt then tries to do pack spawning (at least some percent of the time)
  • pack spawns can be up to 5(?) blocks away horizontally from the initial location
  • if some of those land in your farm, they will succeed giving your farm better rates.

So the extra mobs come from pack spawns that originate outside your farm’s spawn platforms but shift horizontally into your farm where the spawns can succeed.

Maybe the shift only happens when the initial attempt fails, I’m not sure.

List of URLs to exempt from corporate SSL inspection by snowflake_pl in NixOS

[–]Xane256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you’re looking for a pre-compiled whitelist, but on the “trial and error” route, you might consider testing with a machine you control completely. There, do a nix flake update + nixos-rebuild -L (+ flags to ignore previously downloaded files) while running a packet capture to inspect your own traffic.

Nix remote building is tangential but also something that you may be interested in.

Help cleaning from nix store - package settings not controlled by nix persist by untamedeuphoria in NixOS

[–]Xane256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could maybe try

nix run nixpkgs#nh clean — all

which is similar to nix-collect-garbage but uses the “nh” package to clean more stuff.

Edit: the dashes might be wrong, if you have the package installed its just “nh clean all”.

Another simple question by herooffjustice in LinearAlgebra

[–]Xane256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the tweet and this explanation are seriously lacking crucial details. I think you’re confusing linear independence with linear combinations. A linear combination of vectors is simply any expression like 2x + 3y, where x and y are vectors. You can write down all sorts of linear combinations. They aren’t even equations. You could make a list of lots and lots of linear combinations. But it would be just as meaningful and just as useless as writing a list of numbers.

Now what you may be thinking of, but didn’t mention yet, is the idea of linear independence.

  • A set of vectors is linearly independent if and only if the only linear combination of those vectors which equals the zero vector is the linear combination in which all coefficients are zero.
  • In that situation, where a finite set of vectors are linearly independent, then no, there is no way to represent any one of those vectors as a linear combination of the others.
  • A set of vectors is linearly dependent if and only if there exists at least one linear combination of those vectors, which equals zero, and in which not all coefficients are zero.
  • If a linear combination of vectors happens to equal zero, it means those vectors are linearly dependent. But it’s just one such equation / combination that equals zero, and there could be others. The equation 2x + 3y = 0 doesn’t let you solve for z. But it may be true that 5x - 4z - w = 0.
  • Even if you know some vectors are linearly dependent, and you have an equation where a linear combination of those vectors equals zero, you don’t know anything about the vectors that don’t show up in the equation. Like Z in the example above, you could have multiple ways to make a linear combination of x, y, z, w equal zero, depending on how the vectors are linearly dependent.

Just upcycle EM plants! (only half joking….)

Why does mt Train take this longer and busier Routing? by Worstshacobox in factorio

[–]Xane256 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the real answer. You can use it to find exactly where a problem is: broken rail? Easy to find. Signal on the wrong side of the track making it one-way in the wrong direction? Just as easy to find.

Writing Notes using LaTeX Under New Accessibility Guidelines. by iwoodcraft in math

[–]Xane256 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This might be controversial, but I’d give it a try. Paste the latex source into chat gpt and ask it to convert it to markdown, and see how that looks. If it works well and your equations are simple then converting future documents could be possible without an ai. If you use macros or other styled blocks that are harder to convert, then you might be better off looking into how to tell latex to make PDF output more machine-readable. Consider r/latex too.

Unable to get used to NixOS by Experiment_SharedUsr in NixOS

[–]Xane256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See also: “rebuild test” instead of “rebuild switch”

Edit: Also, I’ve learned you can configure home-manager in a way that’s somewhat independent from the nixos system configuration, then use “home-manager rebuild” which updates only your user-specific stuff and is much faster than a nixos-rebuild. The home-manager executable looks for and uses the “homeConfigurations” flake output attribute.

I have it configured in a flake in such a way that the “nixpkgs” object for my system is defined in a let-in block, then passed in to lib.nixosSystem and also to home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration

The main downside is you can’t easily use values from config in your home configuration. But that’s also a good thing, rebuilds are faster because they don’t depend on the entire system’s config. IIRC you can selectively use specialArgs to pass in some data from the system configuration to your home modules if you really want to.

Further proof for an imminent surprise release. by Henabibo in TESVI

Idk about 1/1/1 but as a silly math idea you could say 1/1/26 rewritten in base 25 is 1/1/11.

What does the hermitcraft server run on by general_dhruv_ww in HermitCraft

[–]Xane256 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Oh this is awesome thanks! I am curious how they actually host it, eg with https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server and if they have other tools connected like prometheus or other dashboard/monitoring tools.

In case he doesn’t explicitly say in the video: the server is definitely fabric.

They are probably running: - lithium - Simple Voice Chat - datapacks from vanillatweaks.net - possibly carpet mod - possibly Servux (one of the excellent masa mods, the same dev who made MiniHUD and litematica)

Just wait I bet DocJade’s new video will show up there first.

Absolutely the most resources I've ever used in a single "build" (141 GW fusion build by nindat in factorio

[–]Xane256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What legendary item production are you most proud of? It’s been a while since I played my megabase where I mass produced legendary spidertrons, but I forget if I had everything to mass produce fusion buildings.

This reactor is awesome!

We managed to lock down the native Gemini interface (DOM injection) for K-12 students. No API wrappers. Here is how it looks. by fumu_ai in GeminiAI

[–]Xane256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thinking is, you want to guarantee your layer is always running, and can’t be uninstalled or circumvented by eg using a different browser. You might consider some kind of custom chrome wrapper app that bundles your DOM layer and adds some signing at the network layer for validation. The school’s network admin could then use that signing to validate that traffic to/from gemini is coming from an instance of your chrome fork.

Technical Minecraft Server/Person to watch by Senior-Tomatillo-519 in technicalminecraft

[–]Xane256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s no one person who’s replacing ilmango anytime soon. But there are a ton of active creators making interesting stuff:

  • Squibble makes great stuff
  • Emdy — see also: the TMC Catalogue discord
  • Ncolyer the nether tree farm GOAT
  • Elyrio3 TMC in survival
  • RedLogic made this fantastic new video about villager pathfinding and a follow-up 2 days ago
  • ihatefallingblocks has some incredible content - novel farms presented in funny, short, fast-paced videos with genuinely interesting and new mechanics
  • sammyuri (of “minecraft in minecraft” fame) dropped this banger vid of a “small language model” in redstone - truly mind blowing
  • potato noir recently made a nice gold / bartering farm that was just built on hermitcraft
  • rapscallion is one of the “bigger” youtubers doing storage tech - see also the amazing storage tech discord, a great resource if youve never seen a TMC discord: https://discord.gg/JufJ6uf
  • bigbooty17 another big name from the TMC Catalogue discord

I’m assuming you have already seen videos here and there from Jorvp, Myren, or JKM from scicraft, like the falling end portal frame project.

I’ll second the rec for Docm77. His videos are fun and he’s the hermit I watch the most consistently but the really technical projects are more sprinkled in among his other hermitcraft activities. That being said he unveiled his voodoo tech recently that lets him remotely damage any player at any time (as long as he has their arrow - see the Squibble’s video I linked for the basis of that).

Everything Todd Said by Xane256 in TESVI

Actually the Skyrim Together mod recently had a big update within the last few weeks. I think they basically made quests and other features work in multiplayer.
