Wreckfest: a bit squeezed
I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get a lot from the shops in my Supervan any more. I am stuck on an event in Wreckfest where I have to drive a Robin Reliant, and everyone else has four wheel cars which can actually take a corner. It's a four-race series and I've managed to come third on the first race, and then get completely wrecked on the second. I'm sure I'm missing something; this isn't even that far through the game.

Going beyond density functional theory accuracy: Leveraging experimental data to refine pre-trained machine learning interatomic potentials
Machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) are inherently limited by the accuracy of the training data, usually consisting of energies and forces obtained from quantum mechanical calculations, such as density functional theory (DFT). Since DFT itself is based on several approximations, MLIPs may inherit systematic errors that lead to discrepancies with experimental data. In this paper, we use a trajectory re-weighting technique to refine DFT pre-trained MLIPs to match the target experiment…
