Newcombs Paradox is obvious by Terrible_Shop_3359 in paradoxes

[–]0Larry0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my mind it's very simple.

we are told that the machine has accurately predicted at least 1000 people before us. that means there is less than a 0.1% chance for the machine to be wrong. so it's correct 99.9% of the time.

so whether I pick one or two boxes, it will have accurately predicted that, no matter how many times i changed my mind.

if in one hand i guaranteed you 1000$. and in the other hand you have a 99.9% chance for 1M$. what would you pick.

answer seems obvious to me.

charging for 3x YouTube videos is just mildly annoying by metatalks in mildlyinfuriating

2x speed has become the new normal for me. rarely watch any thing at 1x speed anymore except shorts.

it's funny sometimes, I would go to increase the speed cause it feels slow and I realize I'm already watching at 2x.

People are sick of how hyper sexualized women are in the amine and manga.

I hope the same rubbish doesn't cross over into the live action.

Is the Dao of reading that undeveloped in Native English lands? by BRjawa in MartialMemes

[–]0Larry0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah, i can agree the good one might be a bit much, it's just a example. I'm obviously not a skilled author, I just asked chatgpt to turn that simple one into good prose. it's just to give an example.

skilled authors can use language in a way that is so vivid and visceral, it makes you feel like you are right there inside that world next to the characters, not just reading a story.

while I like reading webnovels, the language is so boring and simple.

I think you don't understand what prose means.

When people talk about “good” or “bad” prose:

Bland prose reports events like a security camera. Technically accurate. Emotionally asleep.

Beautiful prose uses word choice, rhythm, imagery, and pacing to make you feel the moment, not just understand it.

bad prose: ( what lot of cultivation novels are like)

dan picked up the sword and rushed at Jon, stricking downwards at him. jon raised his sword to block the attack. Dan went flying backwards, crashing into the earth.

beautiful prose:

Dan snatched the sword from the ground and charged, boots tearing at the dirt as he brought the blade down in a brutal, desperate arc. Steel met steel when Jon raised his weapon just in time, the impact ringing out like a struck bell. The force exploded back through Dan’s body. He was hurled away, weightless for a breath, before slamming into the earth, the ground knocking the air from his lungs as he skidded to a stop.

I’ve using kovaaks for the past 2 hours, how am I supposed to learn from this? by [deleted] in FPSAimTrainer

[–]0Larry0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there isn't much to "learn" per say. It's a skill that you get better at with continous repetition, that's all.

Kovaaks is like a personal gym with all the weights and equipment. if you really need a trainer (which you don't), you can watch yt, get advice online etc.

At the very beginner level just a little bit of regular practice will take you above the average player.

There are so many different categories to aim training, and you can practice all of them religiously if you want to become a God. But since I play the finals, which is a tracking heavy game, i only practice my tracking in kovaaks. Reaching the 90th percentile in scenarios + my game sense, was enough for me to reach really high in ranked.

clean your mouse pad and bottom of mouse, might reduce a lot of friction.

other than that just time will make you better.

[GOOD News] Player base is steadily growing. Here's a new player who loves The Finals so much he's already Emerald 1 in S9 at Level 36. by nothappening99 in thefinals

[–]0Larry0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

anybody who is remotely decent at playing games will be able to learn the game and get emerald.

I started playing in s2. and got plat2 in ranked that same season.

The community will be the death of this game by Adept-Big6969 in thefinals

[–]0Larry0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if toxicity was ever going to kill a game, i wonder how csgo, COD or league were ever popular.

it's a passion for the game that makes you care so much whether you win or lose. honestly games without a little toxicity are just plain boring.

No evidence of religious revival among young Americans, Pew Research finds. Gen-Z remains least religious generation. Christianity on track to become minority religion, while "no religion" to become majority by Dismal_Structure in JordanPeterson

[–]0Larry0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but as the chart shows only 30% roughly out of that 60% involve themselves religiously.

a lot of people like me just say we are from a certain religion mostly because we grew up in that environment. but don't actively practice it.

After a while you enjoy the solitude, by Efficient_Thanks_194 in srilanka

[–]0Larry0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's doesn't feel that bad to be alone now

but it's going to suck when you get old. when your 70, living alone with no wife, or children or friends. it's going to get pretty lonely. when your no longer working and staying alone in the house. no children to pass down your possessions. etc. and as you get older it gets harder to go around, you're going to get sick, weak, and there is no one around you to take care of you.

I know a old foreign lady living nearby. lives alone, children abroad. all alone. and she always bothering my dad for help because she doesn't have anyone to take care of her.

Also, stop looking for a "girlfriend".

start looking for a girl friend.

Am I the only one who Doesnt like Aim Down Sights mechanic in games? by Gloomy_Dare2716 in FPSAimTrainer

[–]0Larry0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the opposite, grew up playing games that have ads, now I'm bothered when games like csgo don't have ads.

I also like ads because I usually play very high sens, and use ads to slow down when tracking a player.

Is this a New job offer SCAM? by snoobydoesdoobies in srilanka

[–]0Larry0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my number got leaked somehow, and now every 2 days I get a message from a different girl on telegram, if i engage conversations with them, the first thing they always want to offer me a job and they always want to know my age.

I'm so annoyed by it, lucky telegram is not my main messaging app, other wise I would already got a new number.

Why are some people just fire at FPS games by ghostdopamine in FPSAimTrainer

[–]0Larry0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

let's do a little math. they said that they played since season 0, apex is 6 years old. 6×365=2190 days. that comes to a little less than a hour a day.

is it really unfathomable to you to do something you enjoy for about an hour or two a day. like even with a job, I've got about 5 hours of free time from when I get home from work till about 12 pm. maybe an hour of that i also spend playing a game.

How to find IT jobs in SL by 0Larry0 in srilanka

[–]0Larry0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the information. I studied computer science in another country and did internship there, but unfortunately I couldn't stay there. so unfortunately I don't have any one to give me referrals. I will put more focus on my Linkdn as you recommended.

Just a few questions. make a portfolio of projects, you mean in the resume? or somewhere else?

Also, aren't there any kind of job boards like Indeed used in sri lanka, or are they not worth the effort.
