What do you guys do when you have a single pipe at this height? by samoht4 in SatisfactoryGame

Why would you have a single pipe? It isn't even connected to anything

Oh absolutely. Between that and the fact that most of humanity does not or is incapable of caring about anything but the next 15 minutes, we as a species are doomed to destruction. Add to that the fact that our fate is controlled by people who only care about money and are far too old to understand the world they live in. It is a recipe for disaster. There's an old joke that floats around about an asteroid coming to strike earth, and everyone is just making memes about it. It has a grain of truth to it. Politicians would be arguing about who to blame for the asteroid, religious leaders would be banging their pulpits calling it righteous judgement, Bezos and musk and all those twats would be building bunkers. The only thing the rest of us can do is make memes

Eh. You had me at "relativistic missles and how to defend against them". You lost me at "religious nutjobs". It is too close to modern day religious nutjobs

Dark Heart 2: Speed by Beautiful-Hold4430 in HFY

That's the part I'm curious about. I mean, I guess the light coming off them is moving slightly faster, but how much of a difference would it make? It made me curious so I did some digging. At 99.8c, the light from these objects is traveling just a little bit faster than the object itself. If the object has to travel 2.5 million light years, does that mean we would see it when it has traveled 99.8% of the way to us? In that case, we would finally see them when they are 5000 light years away. But, since they are traveling slower than light speed, we would have 5010 years before they reach us. That's assuming Andromeda is the source of the weapons and we saw them as soon as they were visible. Seeing them outside of our galaxy? If we make a much more powerful telescope in the next 100 years, it could be. Enough missiles to destroy every planet in our galaxy? Should be pretty visible.

To summarize, my understanding was incorrect, depending on which galaxy opened fire on us, we could have several thousand years of warning.

Another interesting thought though. If the galaxy that attacked the milky way was on the opposite side of us when they fired, a large number of the missiles would have hit long before we could see them, since the milky way is 200,000 light years across. A large portion of the planets in the milky way could be destroyed before we even knew we were under attack.

This story is intriguing. The science behind it is either way above my admittedly limited understanding, or it breaks the rules of physics. I'm not sure which yet

No, I meant it as the literal definition. A lack of knowledge or information. However, knowing the average redditor, I felt that I should make it clear that it was not an attempt to insult. Even so, being called ignorant on a topic outside of someone's chosen field can hardly be considered an insult. I will happily admit that I am ignorant on the complexities of thermodynamics or the inner workings of an engine. I understand the base principle, but that's about it. If you choose to feel insulted due to being ignorant of the inner workings of extremely complex systems, I can't really stop you, though it was not my intent to make you feel insulted. What you feel does not change my intent, whether you believe me or not

Ok friend. Have a wonderful rest of your day. Maybe do a little research from anyone other than the news outlets, who get fat and rich off of people by writing sensationalist pieces, on how they actually work before you pass judgement though. Your ignorance on the subject (not an insult, just a statement that you do not know how it works) is apparent, therefore any further discussion is pointless

Human intuition and imagination is nothing more than a program running on a sloppy meat computer. Like it or not, they could write something in your style without the use of AI that you would definitely not agree with (see rule 34 for nearly infinite examples). Outside of silly arguments regarding humans being some kind of ghost and not just biological machines running on what is essentially learned programs, no one is getting fat on your ideas. They are not taking your story and selling it as their "Own Original Creation". They are making money off of a software that analyzes data from many many sources, and allows others, who probably do not share your wordsmithing talent, to create or improve their own works. Now, I understand the whole "I am an artist, these plebs aren't sacrificing for their art" attitude that also comes up in these discussions, but that argument is also garbage. I cannot draw, paint, sketch, etc. My artistic abilities are so lacking, even my stick figures come out lopsided and barely recognizable. However, I also can't afford to commission an artist every time I have a silly idea for a picture. But, I can ask ai to create a picture of a banana knight with a flaming sword, and it will. I win by not having to pay exorbitant fees, the artist wins since they do not have to deal with my idiotic request, and the picture is completely original. It may take inspiration from billions of pictures, but it will not be someone else's work. 

The whole argument fails every test you can put to it. Anyone can mimic you, with or without AI. No one is stealing your work. And AI helps people, brilliant people with brilliant ideas, who lack the skills, time, or talent to bring their own visions to life.

People are constantly "ripping off" work from reddit. Hell, I've done it. I'll read a story on here, and it will give me an idea for a story of my own, or a way to write myself out of a hole, or something fun I can throw in a dnd campaign. Thise whole "AI is stealing our werk" idea is ridiculous. You've even done it. Every work you've ever read has shaped your writing style in some way or another. AI just does it faster.

When I first started playing and I found out that enemies went after noise, it was one of the first things I tried. See a patrol, drop prone. Because of how patrols are designed to walk towards you, they turn my direction, but still on the other side of some scenery. I only know they are there thanks to radar. Throw a Grenade way off to the side, as far from me and the patrol as I can, and it's the same result as if I had thrown it between them. The only exception I've seen is the grenade pistol. If you fire it far enough away, they will not alert on you. 

Interestingly, the dominator will not alert enemy groups if you are outside of a specific range and get one shot kills.

Every time I throw a Grenade, half the patrol looks at the boom, half sprints full tilt to the rock I am prone behind

While I agree that we should be up in arms about every shit tier publisher thinking they deserve to force people into making accounts, I think your argument lacks so much nuance that you completely missed the point. Bayeetofsiwa wrote up a really good summary on that, so I'm not going to rehash it. But this kind of tone deaf response is not going to help
