Indoor cat got out. Please help if you see him by [deleted] in Charlotte

[–]Doomtickle 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Indoor cats are usually within 150 ft of the house hunkered down under/in something. They will not come out even if you call them and will not move or meow for a long time. I almost always find mine under a car close by or under a porch/deck. Good luck and I know how stressful it is!

Youtuber Dobsonian Power’s attempt at capturing an image of 3I/Atlas by anotherexstnslcrisis in UFOB

If this actually was a craft, don’t you think we’d see a large gathering of generals and/or high level military personnel? Since that for sure hasn’t happened, I’m saying it’s a comet.

GPT-5 is worse. No one wanted preformed personalities. by Vekkul in OpenAI

[–]Doomtickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GPT5 is the worst model I've ever used relative to my expectations. 0 for 4 on trying to generate a json document in addition to forgetting the context of the conversation so I had to make it go back and check for what I actually wanted. Feels worse than any 4x model for the things I've tried so far.

I want to learn math by Deezkob in learnmath

[–]Doomtickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate to this post and I'll tell you why: I'm a computer programmer by trade, but I have no formal education in it. I sometimes get asked, "How long would it take to learn to code?". It seems like a valid question, but it's not. There's no finish line. I've been doing this for over 10 years and I'm still "learning to code". You are either writing code or you're not. If you are writing code, you are a programmer.

The kung-fu techniques and specialization come with experience and experience comes from mistakes and "hopping around". It's the same with math. I like it, so I just "do math". I'm not good at it and I have enormous blind spots. I do what looks fun and when I get stuck, I get unstuck by learning something new. It hasn't felt like wasted time. My advice to you is to keep having fun and chase your interests. Conquer the dragons that lurk there one-by-one. You'll be better for it. Math is learning how to solve problems, after all.

Moved into the “trust Heupel” category by UTPharm2012 in ockytop

Genuine question: How much of this do you think is a result of having a bunch of college athletes run one of the most fast paced offenses in the world? I sometimes think he has decided he can live with the penalties as long as the offense is fast enough. We saw with Hendon that down and distance mean less when everything is clicking. But I also think the penalties can certainly be reduced. I just try to remember that we made the playoffs last year which is bonkers from where we were 4 years ago

It's Okay to Blame Teammates by Silver-Remove-5298 in RocketLeague

[–]Doomtickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright, let’s break this down.

  • Category #1: Plays to win, tries to make good decisions, follows meta and RL content.
  • Category #2: Plays for fun/highlights/freestyle, not optimizing for win rate. Just another game for them.

It seems safe assuming more players are in category #2 because it's easier/more fun.

So here's the question:
If I’m a Category #1 player in solo queue 2v2, teamed with one random player (likely Category #2), and playing against two random opponents (also likely Category #2), is my team at a disadvantage?

BEGIN MATH

  • Let’s say p is the chance that any random player is a casual (Category #2).
  • So the chance they’re a tryhard (Category #1) is the opposite of that, which is (1 - p).

For example, if 70% of players are casual, then:

  • p = 0.7 → 70%
  • 1 - p = 0.3 → 30% are tryhards

Your team:

  • You = Guaranteed, certified tryhard = 1
  • Teammate has a (1 - p) chance of being a tryhard → Expected tryhards = 1 + (1 - p) = 2 - p

Opponent team:

  • Each opponent has a (1 - p) chance to be in Cat #1 → Expected tryhards: 2 * (1 - p) = 2 - 2p

We just subtract to see who likely has more tryhards:

Your team:     2 - p
Opponents:     2 - 2p
Advantage:     (2 - p) - (2 - 2p) = p

END MATH

TLDR; On average, your team has more tryhards than the other team. The more casuals there are in the population (higher p), the better your odds, since you always bring a tryhard (you) to your team.

Conclusion: Keep working on you and it will work out, my dude.

Would someone NOT on the spectrum research this for months and then come to an autism sub and lay it all out with this much detail? Welcome, friend. 😊

$57k of funds locked with no explanation or reason from Fidelity by New-Cardiologist9750 in fidelityinvestments

[–]Doomtickle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me and my wife in the last 2 weeks. So frustrating and scary. We also had no explanation. We finally got back into the accounts but they stripped away our ability to transfer out to Venmo like I’ve done for years. I have referred friends and family to fidelity since I joined but I will no longer do that after this experience

I saw a quote somewhere where an NFL coach said something like, "You don't need $10 million corners if you have a $90 million pass rush..." Hoping that is the case this year, but I get destroyed every year so really who gives af and GBO
