A T1 belt throughput is 15 items/s. Player inventory is 80 slots (2 cargo wagons, incidentally, though players load/unload instantly).

Stack size varies, but let's take 75 as an average, which means a player can carry 5600 items.

But carrying isn't throughput. If a round-trip takes 30s, player throughput will be 186 items/s. That's a measly 12 T1 belts.

Unless I misunderstand, ratios are second-order and can be calculated; production rates are presented in-game.

Looking forward to one that will let me touch grass from my computer.

> For the record, psychology research has demonstrated that humans do not think in language. This was a popular myth started by someone in the 1930's or so, I think, leading to authoritarian ideas about thought control via language control

Are you describing strong linguistic relativity here? I was under the impression the weak form still held under study (e.g. names of colors being the popular example).

I haven't encountered the notion that "humans do not think in language." Is there a paper or keyword I can look up?

> does that imply that there is no shared american culture?

I think you might've convinced me of this just with your comment.

Also, flip "religion" and "culture" and the post still (mostly) works, though I don't think that proves anything.

The moral/preference idea is closer, but you get a lot of gray areas like sports teams and Sunday roasts (complete with threat of excommunication for non-adherence).

Papers with claims that don't match their citations aren't a new phenomenon, so probably nothing.

We used to be able to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. Being influencable by advertising is a moral failing. </s>

$EvilCompany releases a waste-eating bacteria to cover up their waste dumping. It works, but it might be doing more harm than good. (That's not the synopsis of the book, just the part I'm guessing they're referring to).

You're betting that someone's going to get a jail sentence for this? Because I doubt it.

> everyone had the same jokes

I wonder? Surely total viewership across those few channels was less than an episode of Friends in the 90s.

And I'd bet people watched less television and engaged in other activities, maybe came up with some jokes of their own.

(Doesn't really have anything to do with your point, sorry)

If the Unabomber had used an LLM instead of composing his manifesto manually, he may not have been caught in the manner he was.

It's okay if you don't like every comment you read. You don't have to make it a thing and you don't have to tell us. It's better for yourself and for us if you silently move on. There are so many comments.

Talking about various aspects of the article is the entire point of the comment thread. Meta-discussion about what's worth commenting on is not.

Renoir's kind of "pop" as far as Impressionists go. Laypeople like him because his work is easy to look at, but trained artists can find a lot to fault in his technique and composition. He was also kind of an asshole.

From TFA:

> Normal Google Applications (T2), S0 RCE: $75,000 base × 1.2 for exceptional report quality.

"Easy" isn't a factor in calculating the bounty.
