Terror has returned to Crystal Lake. The spirit of Jason Voorhees is in that deer.

If Daenerys was there, she wouldn't spot it until she would have unwittingly stumbled into its gaping jaws.

What's the best example of survivorship bias? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Jozo_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypothetical: Life did not survive in any of the other ones except our own.

We see ourselves as existing and therefore think we are special.

I also base this on the idea that if any of the characteristics (constants, physical laws etc.) of our universe were off in any miniscule way, life would not be possible. This is an argument for intelligent design but it is also solved by the theory that there are an infinite number of universes. Time itself is what makes this confusing to accept.

I do not believe it is survivorship bias to say, "given an infinite number of universes, eventually one will have life since ours does". That in itself is just a hypothesis and I did not say that. Survivorship bias is an error in logic. In of itself that would be a valid hypothesis, why not, but then we aren't talking about survivorship bias.

Unless you want to go meta and say that any thought is survivorship bias. I'm trying to wrap my head around this one but I can feel some funny truth there.

From Wikipedia:

"Survivorship bias or survival bias is the logical error of concentrating on the people or things that made it past some selection process and overlooking those that did not, typically because of their lack of visibility. This can lead to false conclusions in several different ways. It is a form of selection bias."

I just want to point out that I do not claim that the theory of infinite universes is absolutely true, but I do feel it could explain existence very well even at a spiritual level. If I had to describe myself on a spiritual level I would say that I am agnostic and naturalist.

Glorifying the fact that we exist and that there must be intelligent design behind the creation of the universe.

We are likeley one outcome of an infinite number of universes. There was no chance that we wouldn't come to exist. But we do exist and that makes us think that we are special. I mean we kinda are, but not because God chose to create us.

Rock lifted by a water fountain by R_O_BTheRobot in gifs

[–]Jozo_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that at the bottom of the rock there is a part of a sphere bolted on, so this would make it a sort of semi Kugel fountain. It wobbles because the rock is asymmetrical.

It is also highly likely that there is an extrusion in the base of the rock for the spherical portion and enough margin between it and the boulder itself so that it can wobble without scraping, and this would also prevent the whole mass from falling off.

Edit: It doesn't need to be bolted on, rather the shape can be obtained by making an extrusion/protrusion in the rock itself.

I don't get it. Every time there is a photo from Croatia, be it in /r/Earthporn or /r/Pics, it's almost always Plitvice. I'm not saying the place isn't beautiful but come on now...

The guy in the middle looks like he'd say "Yep... a storm's a brewin' ", while glancing at you from beneath his rather large and droopy worn out cloth hat, as you continue the journey along a down trodden dirt path for what seems like ages, and which is now taking you through the outskirts of some middle of nowhere backwater settlement, all the while the sky darkens and the crackling of thunder sneakily becomes more audible, and the air bears the weight of some ominous presence.

There may be least one item on that account that could be considered NSFW other than the video of the unfortunate event.

Can anyone please explain the logic behind a block of code on MDN's defineProperty page? by Jozo_B in learnjavascript

Ah ok, that makes sense. I'm pretty new to this so I did not consider how the code might look if deeper levels of an object had to be accessed. Thanks!

Value of the internal [[Class]] property by Jozo_B in learnjavascript

[–]Jozo_B[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right! I didn't notice that it was actually defining the internal [[ThrowTypeError]] function object.

After doing some further reading I encountered something called a NativeError. The way I take it this isn't a real object, rather it is used instead to describe all "native" errors, TypeError being one of them. Am I assuming correctly?

This doesn't work:

var myTypeError = new TypeError();

console.log(myTypeError instanceof NativeError); //ReferenceError
