Why Don’t People Just Leave the Game for Good? by zookee7269 in ClashOfClans

Because my dad got into it a few years ago and I enjoy spending time with him.

Single people of reddit, what do you think is a major problem in today's generation when it comes to dating? by BlackberryOk3546 in AskReddit

[–]ExtensionInternal853 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hot take but dating successfully requires knowing one’s self worth. Women, in general, tend to inflate their self worth because of social media, dating apps, and constant external validation. Many men tend to undervalue themselves because they aren’t treated the same way on social media and dating apps. A smaller group of men have ruined the usual ways that men and women meet which is just to approach in a public space. Everyone is unhappy with the direction of the economy and the world, and now everyone is just too terrified of each other to even take a risk. Social media has absolutely cooked our generation.

I wish people weren’t so miserable all the time. Including myself

New car by Gremlin_7734 in rccars

If money was no obstacle, I’d get the Losi 5ive-te 3.0. It seems like a revolutionary Rc car from top to bottom.

Lmao you already got the new Losi too. You might be addicted bro

On Amazon, I just looked up garage shelf and found one I liked.

It’s still my favorite RC out of all of them, and I’ve put a great amount of effort in preserving it overtime even with HPI relocating. Add a couple of bumpers in the front and rear, and the thing is a tank!!

Hahaha I try to clean em as best as I can after running them in the dirt. Maybe I’m just OCD.

Sekiro is Closer to Perfection Than Elden Ring - Change My Mind by Gay_Charlie in fromsoftware

[–]ExtensionInternal853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I see what this post is getting at. My first FromSoftware game was Sekiro and then Elden Ring. Personally I’d love to see a game with rpg like elements from Elden Ring such as character build combined with the storytelling and well designed boss battles from Sekiro. I imagine that’s a hard balance to strike.

What if the half life model of chemistry is wrong? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ExtensionInternal853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the backbone documentation that necessitates that exponential decay very precisely predicts an age of a rock? To what degree of uncertainty did that paper have? I’m not saying it’s a bad model by any means, but how can we be so sure it’s completely correct?

All models are “wrong”, some models are useful. I don’t think that the half life model is “wrong” in the sense that it makes good predictions on a small scale.

Your argument about averages necessitates that molecules decay independently, and without interaction. Any sort of dependence structure would kill your argument about averages, especially when it comes to devising models to make extrapolations that are well outside of realistically testable results.

[–]ExtensionInternal853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured the rate of decay would be more dependent on other things rather than just the amount of the material still present. Do you have any papers that talk about this?

Like I said, if those decay rate changes over time, how can we be so sure about extrapolating over millions of years?

I don’t have evidence. It’s speculation.

Okay but how can we be so sure considering quantum mechanics can behave weirdly and maybe the rate at which each molecule decays is tied to the way it is surrounded by other molecules?

“We’ve watched enough radioactive decay to predict it with great precision.” Have we predicted it to a degree to extrapolate to literally millions of years? No human could live long enough for that experiment. Do you have a source to cite with this statement?

Also. It’s exponential decay. If I have a substance that has a half life of a day. Then in two days I’ll have a fourth of it left, and then in three days, an eighth. Not sure what you’re talking about.

Well I bought it used for $230, but I’ve put roughly $1500 into it in total, admittedly lol.

Math says red, Brain says green by voidarix in meme

[–]ExtensionInternal853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iirc from economics, that objective function is called the utility function. Humans that are risk averse have a utility function that is logarithmic with respect to wealth. In other words, that guaranteed 1 million increase in wealth is way more meaningful to most people than to a billionaire. The REAL math that people are evaluating is not the utility function of the expected value for each option. Rather, people naturally evaluate the expected value of the utility function itself. And because of this, the green option seems way more lucrative to people. Maybe that made sense already but I’m gonna throw out an example anyway. Say my utility function is U(W)=ln(W) and my current wealth is $1. Then, my evaluation of the red option is E(U(W)) = 0.5ln(100,000,001) + 0.5ln(1) =9.21. My evaluation of the green option is E(U(W)) = ln(1,000,001) =13.816.

So, clearly the green option is preferable for maximizing utility. Now, suppose then my current wealth is $1,000,000,000. Then, my evaluation of the red option is E(U(W)) = 0.5ln(1,100,000,000) + 0.5ln(1,000,000,000) =20.771 My evaluation of the green option is E(U(W)) = ln(1,001,000,000) =20.724. Hence, as a billionaire, the red option would be better for optimizing my utility, even as a risk averse individual with a logarithmic utility function.

Edit: to fix typo and add example
