    The authors fail to come up with -any- source (credible or not) for that ridiculous 10 bits/s number. Their model is so simplistic it isn’t even worth engaging with.

    And yet I’ve seen this article like 5 times since Christmas on Lemmy. If it was all just for the joke that Lemmings process data a 2 bits/sec, once, I’d be fine with it, but this trend of being fire-hosed with manure since the US election ended is seriously making me consider if Lemmy is worth it anymore.

      Posts like this show that not everyone understands what science is, though that doesn’t stop them. Sometimes just having one downvote isn’t enough.
