Maybe I’m weird, but for me it’s always non-invert for look controls, but as soon as I’m in a plane or ship it must be invert.

You don’t even need to think about reference frames for the answer to be B, because each layer is being displaced by the layer behind it. Take the limit to go from a discreet to continuous domain and you exit the portal at the same speed you entered, which is exactly the speed of the falling portal.

I think it’s trying to be meta-commentay, utilizing diagetic irony as a form of meta-irony. At least that’s the only reading that really coherently parses. Ironic spaces/jokes have always been infiltrated by those who genuinely hold those beliefs, it’s basically impossible to defend against, the kinds of things you would want to make fun of via irony are almost always held by those who are unable to understand more than surface level interpretation of media more generally.

The thesis is probably better read as “fuck it we ball” and refusing to let go of irony just because supider people misunderstand it.

I stared at this for 5 minutes trying to figure out if it was loss or not.

Zip+four is only down the the block level, you need 2 more digits (zip+6) to uniquely identify every possible address in the US. That said, a 9 digit barcode is way too close to a full address for most people to be comfortable with sharing online.

If you wanted to be more accurate to actual gold and silver, the historical exchange rate is only 20:1 silver to gold, which is why there are 20 (silver) shillings in a (gold) pound piece.

You can flip the problem around and have it be mathematically the same. The predictor has some knowable accuracy, you can run the experiment many times to determine what it is. Let’s also replace the predictor with an Oracle, guaranteed 100% always correct, and we’ll manually impose some error by doing the opposite of its prediction with some probability. This is fully indistinguishable from our original predictor.

Now, instead of the predictor making a prediction, let’s choose our box first, then decide what to put in the mystery box afterwards, with some probability of being “wrong” (not putting the money in for the 1 box taker, or putting the money in for the 2 box taker). This is identical to having an Oracle, we know exactly what boxes will be taken, but there is some error in the system.

Now we ask, should you take one box or two? Obviously it depends on what the probability is. There’s no more “fooling” the predictor. So, you do the EV calculation and find that if the probability is more than 50% accurate (in other words, if the probability of error is less than 50%), you should always take 1 box

An angle I don’t see people looking at is to reframe the problem with amounts that are much more understandable, there is one thousand times more money in the mystery box, so let’s do the following:

The Open box has 1 cent in it, and the mystery box might have $10, what do you do?

Y’all are telling me you’d rather take a penny and have a tiny Chance at $10, rather than taking $10 with a tiny Chance of getting zero?

Your complaint is that they offer optional plugins, downloadable via their launcher that is specifically designed to make installing plugins more convenient?

ASMR isn’t supposed to be relaxing, some people just found it relaxing and somehow that completely bastardized the genre(also it became soft core pornography). ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response, basically some people get a pleasurable tingling sensation on their head/neck/spine when they hear certain sounds, and ASMR content is supposed to stimulate that response for those people.

What I don’t get is that people encountered ASMR and unquestionly went “guess that’s what it’s called” and didn’t wonder at all what the obvious acronym stood for, literally 5 seconds to Google 4 letters and you’d understand what it’s all about.

“Swiper no swiping! Swiper no swiping! Swiper no swiping!”

Oh hey that’s Prospect Park Water Tower in Minneapolis, weird seeing it in a meme on the internet.

The Zachtronics solitaire collection (steam, Linux version available) has a bunch of fun unique solitaire variants, and every layout is guaranteed to be solvable.

It’s a Netflix production, it’ll be there after the theatrical run.

This is actually the sandwich problem, which states there is exactly one slice that will split a sandwich of 3 elements into exactly 2 halves regardless of the shape or position of those elements. We don’t need the full proof, but the problem is continuous, so any desired ratio is possible, therefore you will always be able to slice an apple into exactly 1/3 and 2/3rds “good bits”, so a single slice will always be able to do the job.

It’s been added to OEIS already https://oeis.org/A268236

It is, can tell just by looking at it it’s a Rubik’s brand.

For various math reasons you only get consistent systems with 2^n dimensions, so after complex you get quaternions with 4, then the next one that works is 8, then 16, etc. They become less useful because you lose various useful features, like you lose commutabiliy with quaternions (eg ab != ba), and every time you double you lose more things.

Somehow people always forget that Ubisoft published Trackmania (2020). (Limited) F2p, one time purchase for Standard access, yearly sub for club access, which is isn’t even worth it if your not a dedicated player.

Thus the kingkiller chronicle was born.
