  • Oh, forgot about healing wells, thanks for the reminder. You should probably be able to throw the ankh directly too? But I don’t encounter them every run (e.g. didn’t have any this one) so they aren’t reliable.

    I know ascending is easy (did it many times, though only with 0-1 challenges, none of them Swarm Intelligence) and adds a 1.25 multiplier and I’ll do it when I go for that badge - but I didn’t plan for it (thought 6 challenges would be 2-3x harder than it turned out) so I wasn’t prepared to ascend this run. I’d have probably died in the 21-24 zone.

    So you think it should be On Diet? Hmm, maybe. But exploration with both On Diet and Into Darkness will be challenging.









  • Because we have tons of ground-level sensors, but not a lot in the upper layers of the atmosphere, I think?

    Why is this important? Weather processes are usually modelled as a set of differential equations, and you want to know the border conditions in order to solve them and obtain the state of the entire atmosphere. The atmosphere has two boundaries: the lower, which is the planet’s surface, and the upper, which is where the atmosphere ends. And since we don’t seem to have a lot of data from the upper layers, it reduces the quality of all predictions.











  • CVEs are constantly found in complex software, that’s why security updates are important. If not these, it’d have been other ones a couple of weeks or months later. And government users can’t exactly opt out of security updates, even if they come with feature regressions.

    You also shouldn’t keep using software with known vulnerabilities. You can find a maintained fork of Chromium with continued Manifest V2 support or choose another browser like Firefox.
