Technically they don’t asymptotically go to zero. The minimum yield is the maximum of 20% or 20% of the original yield.

So at worst, an oil field will produce 2 oil/sec, which can still be bumped up by speed modules/beacons as well as mining productivity.

It’s not going to be enough alone for a large base, but I’d say it’s a lot better than almost useless.

It bothers me that the height chart suggests there are 10 inches in a foot

And at this point, the extended crew of the Discovery was thoroughly sidelined: Burnham’s personal relationships took priority over everything else.

This is the part that I’ve never got on well with in Discovery.

In TNG, it’s not a show about Picard, or Riker, or any of the other individuals. It’s a show about the crew. I’ve even seen it said that the actual star of the show is the ship.

Whereas, with Disco, it’s a show about Michael Burnham and everyone else has a bit part. That always felt weird for a Star Trek show. I want to see how the crew works together to solve problems and overcome things with everyone on an equal footing regardless of their rank in the show.

And I think that’s why there was such a warm reception to season 3 of Picard. It brought the crew back together. Picard alone isn’t satisfying enough. What we wanted was him as part of the crew.

Agree it’s an issue, but in my builds most of the complexity in telling how things fit together is because of chains of several combinators.

It looks like the update is going to allow for much more complexity to be expressed in a smaller number of combinators, which should mitigate the issues somewhat.

As a software dev, the biggest thing for me in this update is that it makes combinators more like how I think of things in terms of programming paradigms. When I first came across combinators, I tried to treat them like logic gates. Eventually, I realised they’re a different thing entirely.

Or is that just what you want us to think?

Same, using Chat GPT 4. It explained the steps without prompting, which is different from the single line answer shown in the post too. I got this…

Let’s break this down step by step:

1. Sally has 3 brothers.
2. Each of those brothers has 2 sisters.

Sally is one of those sisters for each of her 3 brothers. Therefore, the second sister that each brother has would be the same other sister.

This means that Sally has only 1 other sister, making a total of 2 sisters in the family (including Sally herself).

So, Sally has 1 sister.

And if anyone’s not familiar, the song was written about this street.

Mixed feelings about this one.

On the one hand, it looks like an interesting game mechanic and I can see it being fun to chase some legendary gear.

On the other, it all feels a bit Fortnite-esque, especially with the names they currently have.

The graphics look really awkward too. All those legendary inserters don’t look at all good IMO.

The naming and graphics are presumably easier to change than the core mechanics, so hopefully things will evolve a little there before the final release.

Sweet!

I recently finished a K2SE run, so hopefully won’t have to wait too long now until the expansion.

From seeing the title, I was wondering how similar it would be to SE.

Happy to see they addressed that in the blog post and looking forward to seeing what the new game mechanics are

That one’s actually really easy to prove numerically.

Not going to type out a full proof here, but here’s an example.

Let’s look at a two digit number for simplicity. You can write any two digit number as 10*a+b, where a and b are the first and second digits respectively.

E.g. 72 is 10 * 7 + 2. And 10 is just 9+1, so in this case it becomes 72=(9 * 7)+7+2

We know 9 * 7 is divisible by 3 as it’s just 3 * 3 * 7. Then if the number we add on (7 and 2) also sum to a multiple of 3, then we know the entire number is a multiple of 3.

You can then extend that to larger numbers as 100 is 99+1 and 99 is divisible by 3, and so on.

A lot of Bruce Springsteen’s songs are like that, but I’ll recommend one in particular that hits your mark:
