"Enperry Splat Dualies" seeing a lot of use this Chill Season in #Splatoon3

I made a video of the evolution of the Top 500 distribution vs X Power, each frame represents a different day. You can see how it evolves, it's kinda neat actually

#splatoon3 weapons usage up to the start of "Fresh Season 2024", as reported to stat.ink

Here's a preview of the upcoming rework of splat.top! Ontop of everything you can see in SplatNet, I've added which region the player belonged to last season!

New take on #splatoon3 weapon daily usage as reported to stat.ink. Splatfests marked on top, and versions/seasons represented by dashed lines. Still doing some improvements and fixes on them 🤔

"Kirby Jet"

Check out this awesome new software package from Héctor M. Sánchez C. that optimally distributes mosquito traps to minimize time to detection for a gene of interest (e.g. gene drive or insecticide resistance allele). With David L Smith. Out now in PLOS Comp Biol! journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…

More yap coming soon, courtesy of applying economics to a video game about squid kids

Ever wonder who the strongest players using a weapon are and how often they used it to get their xp? Want to compare peaks? Wonder no more! I've released a leaderboard for this. It's late so I can't fix a bug that says "Service Unavailable" but it works! splat.top/top_weapons

X Battle Top 500 player activity. Note that the increase after 6.0.0 is due to the changes in the way XP is calculated after series, which shows the Top 500 is significantly more volatile ever since they implemented those changes. This is a bad thing for a ranking system.

holy shit this worked way better than it had any reason to. This is only on 4% of the data I have and it's already surprisingly good. What the fuck lmao. This is weapon similarity via kit choice as per @/stat.ink data

#splatoon3 Weapon usage update (as reported to stat.ink)

After tons of optimizations I was able to get it up to 10% of the data I have. I’ve intentionally introduced a bias towards winning builds. Very slight for now, but it’s slightly improved this. Once complete I’ll offer an API for inference on both weapon and builds embeddings.

New pre-print describing a model-informed target product profile for population modification gene drives for malaria control. Current homing rates are adequate, but assessing field readiness is challenging. Awesome work from Agastya Mondal & Héctor M. Sánchez C.! medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
