It's more the simplest emergent thing I could come up with, over it being truly simple in the absolute.

Its a fair comment.

Thank you!

I had played around with some of the formulas to get everything to be 2^n but it it works better if L(0) is free and houses and mill/mine are 2^(n-1)

1) Ore tier is when the number is represented in binary. 2) I've made a mistake in my writeup here so I was changing the rules a lot as I played it to try and optimise but if you play with L(0) mill/mine being free then follow 2^(n-1) it works better.

3) Picking up and dropping are free, so the cost to move wood from x to y is just the travel cost. If operating, that is the only thing an agent can do. Assignment does not take time but the agent has to travel there.

4) I'll change it in the post but yes 2(n+1)

5) Yes higher ore can always substitute lower grade ore.

6) Yes unlimited batches.

7) I played it as only one building on a cleared square. The reason I'd keep this is because of the nature of houses means you're paying exponentially more for increasing density.

You can convert this to the expected value in the way you would a financial outcome.

The expected value is value times probability. And then the time aspect is just discounting future value back to today, like you would a cashflow. Your impulsiveness is then how much you discount tomorrow vs today.

(Expectancy * value)*(impulsiveness)^time

This way you can put a number on your impulsiveness probably from 1.001 to 2

I've been using pandas ai and its pretty good at saving time on googling the correct pandas function. I was wondering if anyone knew of a more general library that does the same sort of thing but more generally for python functions?

How people wake up and regain alertness in the hours after sleep is related to how they are sleeping, eating, and exercising. Here, in a prospective longitudinal study of 833 twins and genetically unrelated adults, we demonstrate that how effectively an individual awakens in the hours following sleep is not associated with their genetics, but instead, four independent factors: sleep quantity/quality the night before, physical activity the day prior, a breakfast rich in carbohydrate, and a lower blood glucose response following breakfast. Furthermore, an individual’s set-point of daily alertness is related to the quality of their sleep, their positive emotional state, and their age. Together, these findings reveal a set of non-genetic (i.e., not fixed) factors associated with daily alertness that are modifiable.

My development flow revolves around using vim inside a tmux session. Naturally using these two tools I have developed over time a lot of config stored in the dot files. I have found a great tutorial (as linked) which teaches a technique for moving them across computers. From a technical perspective I'm sorted but how do I do the move in a way that isn't going to cause red flags from more security conscious employers?

I know how to move dot files between computers but how do I move them across companies?
