Description

The lighthouse was built in 1906 and consists of a white octagonal prism masonry tower, 17 feet (5.2 m) high, with balcony and lantern, attached to the seaside front of a 1-storey white keeper's house. The lantern, painted in grey metallic, is positioned at 37 metres (121 ft) above sea level and emits two long white or red flashes, depending from the direction, in a 10 seconds period, visible up to a distance of 17 nautical miles (31 km; 20 mi). The lighthouse is completely automated and is operated by the Marina Militare with the identification code number 3396 E.F.[2]

gollark: Unless it can somehow precommit to torturing the simulations.
gollark: If it values suffering for its own sake it might as well do it anyway, but I don't think doing the torturing would advance other goals.
gollark: If you ~~*do* pull it~~ leave it contained, I don't think it has any actual reason to torture the simulation, since you can't verify if it's doing so or not and it would only be worth doing at all if it plans to try and coerce you/other people later.
gollark: You can hash it on each end or something to check.
gollark: Well, sure, but there are no relevant quantum effects and a properly working computer system can losslessly send things.
