It’s less good news if, like me, you might be getting a liiiiiiittle sick of wearing the same thing for this many hours. It’s nice that low-strength characters like mine can have a quality set of light armour that levels with them. I figured I’d throw that out there for anyone else who wears this armour and might not have realised they can upgrade it. There are two more upgrades available after that one: At level 35 you can kick its defences up to 70, and at level 45 they will go up to 87. According to the Fallout 4 wiki, that first upgrade unlocks at level 25. It costs nothing, and it raised my armour’s physical and energy defence ratings from 42 to 57. I found out about the upgrade completely by chance, and I’m really glad I did. Provided you managed to keep Kent (the ghoul who gives you the quest in the first place) alive through the whole thing, you can return to him in Goodneighbor’s Memory Den and have him upgrade your armour. ![]() You can start the quest by tuning in to Silver Shroud Radio, which you should pick up either in Diamond City or nearby to the east. ![]() If you haven’t done that, go do it - it’s a cool quest and the reward is worth it. ![]() The armour itself is obtained as a reward for completing the Silver Shroud sidequest. Here’s something I found out last night: You can upgrade your Silver Shroud armour, which helps it scale along with your character. I don’t have to carry around a bunch of heavy armour pieces, and I get boosts to my agility and perception, as well. I’m playing a character with very low strength, so the Silver Shroud armour is perfect for me. This post contains some spoilers for the Silver Shroud sidequest.

![]() Magical Mystery Tour’s sensibility was more rooted in working class entertainment and tropes than the Pythons’ Oxbridge-infused references. The very concept of a coach journey – albeit one largely filmed at a decommissioned RAF base – was based on the “charabanc” trips ( group bus excursions) of the band members’ childhoods. The film evokes the past – both a British past in general and, more specifically, as filtered through the Beatles’ own histories. ![]() It certainly shows them pushing the boundaries of what a rock band of four Liverpudlians (whose post-school education essentially took place in the nightclubs of Hamburg) could attempt, both artistically and institutionally. Their commercial and creative clout allowed them to broadcast the film during a key annual peak slot for British television viewing. Magical Mystery Tour occupied a particular space in the history of mass entertainment – from the “end of the pier” shows, through the Donald McGill postcards that George Orwell defended against artistic snobbery, to the anarchic weirdness of the likes of Mr Blobby on Saturday night TV. The Beatles infused that particular strand of entertainment with the forward looking experimentalism of their music, while retaining a characteristic, widely recognisable Britishness. It was this that paved the road for Python and others to follow. That Magical Mystery Tour was their first real failure since breaking through into the mainstream was also partly a matter of practicalities.

One of my projects went from 2-3 mins to 13-15 mins after switching to packrat. Packrat is a dependency management system for R. The disadvantage is that the build time on travis is substantially increased. We don’t have to get the latest packages from CRAN when we build on travis, now we can have more control of the package versions that travis builds with in our project. The advantage of this is we can build on travis with the exact same packages that we’re using locally. This will start R, and builds the R packages in the local packrat directory so that they are available in the Travis machine.Īfter that, travis will continue and attempt to build the package, and will not need contact CRAN to get the dependencies because they are already available (assuming packrat is working as expected).

What’s more fruitful is Hamburg’s attempt to understand his mother’s life - not just her death - and all of the estrangements within his family. Sure, therapy might be more efficient, but there’s even some of that here, delivered by an unexpected source. Or you could accept the stumbling, and the time it absorbs, as something that reflects on the difficulty of what Hamburg is attempting. If there’s an entire episode dedicated to Connecticut’s brief infatuation with the Ponzi scheme known as “gifting tables” and that full hour yields nothing of probative value? You could blame HBO for not telling the director, “This is way too long already, trim it.” You could cynically feel that the “secret society” aspect of the gifting tables probably reminded some HBO executive of a cult and they hoped audiences would get NXIVM vibes. If you just embrace the clunkiness of Hamburg’s amateur sleuthing, the dead-ends and misdirections take on a charm of their own. ![]() Filmmaking is in his blood and his childhood is all on video and the Beach side of the family was dedicated to home movies, but what sense can you make of your identity when the happy footage from holidays and celebrations and childhood milestones seems entirely disconnected from a history of alcoholism, divorce and spousal abandonment? How do you use the technology that created an illusion of perfect suburban community to solve a murder, crack a corporate scandal, expose demons and addictions? That, of course, is not the confusion Madison (Zac Efron would be wise to acquire the narrative rights given the physical resemblance) is trying to make sense of. It’s nobody’s fault, but it’s very confusing at times. And it’s nobody’s fault that the crime took place on Middle Beach Road and Barbara’s maiden name and the name of many of her relatives is “Beach,” nor that the Connecticut town’s name is Madison and our filmmaker/protagonist’s name is Madison. Note: Barbara is part of a family line of Barbaras, including Madison’s grandmother, who appears in the documentary. The day of her murder was supposed to be a key court date for Barbara in her acrimonious divorce from Jeffrey, a former energy industry multi-millionaire and accused financial fraudster, who has also naturally been a target of some suspicion. The body was found by Madison’s sister Ali and his aunt Conway, who have both been targets of some suspicion. Hamburg was 18 at the time, away at college. Indeed, Hamburg’s mother Barbara was brutally murdered in 2010 outside of her home in coastal Connecticut. “When people get to adulthood, they get to meet their parents as human beings and I didn’t have that,” Hamburg muses toward the end of the first hour of Murder on Middle Beach. ![]() ![]() If a few objects float to the sky, we model those as exceptions - rare events that are important to understand but which represent a tiny slice of the world at large.Īn effective mental model is one that allows us to predict our world accurately, anticipating common occurrences at a far more frequent rate than rare ones. But social media has derailed this cognitive process, algorithmically moderating the information we receive about our society. If most objects we encounter fall to the ground, we generalize and build a mental model of gravity. ![]() We humans evolved over millions of years to trust that our daily experiences provide an accurate representation of our world. This distorts our collective intelligence, making it difficult for society to make good decisions. But it’s NOT the content itself on social media that is causing this problem it’s the machinery of distribution. Now here’s the problem: Social media has distorted the public sphere beyond recognition, giving each of us a deeply flawed mental model of our own communities. It’s within the public sphere that society collectively develops a mental model of itself. And by using this model, we the people are able to make good decisions about our shared future. Political scientists refer to this social world as “ the public sphere” and define it as the arena in which individuals come together to share issues of importance, exchanging opinions through discussion and deliberation. No, I’m not talking about how we model the physical world of gravity. I’m talking about how we model the social world of people, from our local communities to our global society. The problem is that social media platforms have inserted themselves into this critical process, distorting what it means to “perceive our world” and “generalize our experiences,” which drives each of us to make significant errors when we “build mental models” deep within our brains. This is called intelligence.Īnd for intelligence to work properly, we humans need to perform three basic steps: In this way, our mental models become more and more sophisticated over time. They are astonished as their model of gravity fails and their brain has to adjust, accounting for these rare objects. This works well until the infant experiences a helium balloon for the first time. Consider this example: An infant drops a toy and watches it fall to the ground after doing that many times with the same result, the infant’s brain generalizes the phenomenon, building a mental model of gravity. That mental model will allow the infant to navigate their world, predicting how objects will behave when they are toppled or dropped or tossed into the air. |
