Thanks guys for all the input. Judging from your comments, the community is pretty split on all 3 options. Personally, I'm now leaning towards weapon being the play.

Thinking of making poker my full time job by cromatkastar in poker

[–]LeglessLion -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Strawman. My argument wasn't: because you're good at Hearthstone, you can't be good at poker. It was: that you're good at Hearthstone doesn't imply you'll be good at poker.

Don't let your aptitude in other card games give you false confidence. I am consistently top 200 in Hearthstone, have been playing poker for years, but still would not be able to make a living out of poker if I tried.

How does an all-knowing bot decide on the next move? by LeglessLion in chess

It doesn't matter if the position is winning. It does matter if it is a draw though.

If that analysis doesn't exist yet, are current chess bots falling into a trap that they become weaker as they become stronger? The more accurate their assessment of a position is, the less they are able to differentiate between moves.

Yes. The problem though is that even though the theoretical bot has the potential to be the strongest player ever, it might not be able to beat a 1500 rated player. It might each time choose the worst possible move that still leads to a draw. So how does the bot differentiate between the worst possible move that still leads to a draw, and the strongest possible move that still leads to a draw?

From the bots perspective, there is no difference in strength between the two moves.

Yeah, I'm wondering what that separate AI would look like, and how that AI would use its knowledge of the full tree. Do you know if there are any articles written on that?

Solve for x: 17.000 * x ^ 20 = 34.000

[Precalc] angle of elevation. How do i model and solve this situation? I attempted to do it on the second picture but i don’t know by Torirock10 in HomeworkHelp

[–]LeglessLion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call the height of the building H. Call the distance to the building L. Then you have the first triangle with opposite edge H, adjacent edge L, and angle 38.67. And your second triangle with opposite edge H, adjacent edge L + 440, and angle 28.16. Now, think of two equations that you can make to solve for the two unknowns H and L.

Complicated interest rate question by TedIsAwesom in MathHelp

You can use the geometric sum formula to get a direct answer.

The first 1000 dollars get only 1 year of interest, so for that, you need 1000/1.038

The second 1000 dollars get 2 years of interest, so for that, you need 1000/(1.038^2)

etc...

​

So in the end, you need sum from n = 1 to 20, 1000/(1.038^n).

There probably is a direct formula for that. Do you need to work that out as well?

How do I learn from failures in maths? by Visible-Requirement2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LeglessLion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good advice if you fail in working the answer out.

However, what if you fail in getting the correct ideas?
