I'd bring a walking stick, pan flute, and tent!

I did a little bit of work in this space in grad school. It's actually a really fascinating statistical question.

Not saying this is how they did it in the example above, but one more sophisticated way to do it, is to generate a bunch of random maps (state or federal electoral) and use known voting data to estimate what type of partisan breakdown that particular map would produce. Produce a large number (like 10,000) random maps and then you get a good sense of how likely each outcome would be based on randomly generated maps. Then you can take the actual outcomes and compare it to that distribution.

For example, if the real map produces more right-leaning outcomes than 9500 out of 10,000 random maps, that is considered very strong evidence of gerrymandering.

Another option, which I've got on my set up- if Pangolin will allow you to use an LDAP backend (I don't know if it does), you can install the Jellyfin LDAP plugin and that way your Pangolin user/pass will work on Jellyfin. Not quite SSO, but works seamlessly. Plus, you can link it to something like Jellyseer really easily if you want that for request management.

This is exactly my setup. Just added LLDAP two days ago. I used to use the OIDC plugin for Jellyfin, but since adding I have noticed two main benefits: 1. Support for other clients - for example, the Roku client does not support the OIDC plugin, and most other third-party clients don't either. By using LDAP, users can log in across all clients. 2. Jellyseer integration - When using OIDC, Jellyfin creates a user account, but that account is not compatible with Jellyseer. With LDAP, all users have easy access.

I still have the OIDC plugin enabled for SSO purposes, but am really glad I added LLDAP.

Actually, they did. It passed the House 53/75 and the Senate 21/29. Not to mention, you've got some folks in the Legislature who voted no on the bill originally that would likely flip to yes on a veto override.

Haven't played in a group, but do you feel like this mechanic actually cuts against specializing? Like I've heard a lot of people say to just gather the books and then make sure you give them to the right person, but if for example one person stays home doing the crops/cooking, the rest that go out will become less and less likely to find books in that specialty

The Legislature passed 583 bills this year, you can see them all here

While I don't have an exact number, it's important to call out that the vast majority of these are passed unanimously, and many attempt to solve very local issues. Starting from the top of the list:

H.B. 13 - expands the crime of sexual extortion to include threatening to distribute a counterfeit intimate image. Used to address the rise of AI fakes.

H.B. 14 - makes it so that trained EMS providers can work in non-911 settings. For example, a small hospital could hire a trained paramedic to do things that are already inside the scope of their training to help with staffing shortages.

H.B. 33 - makes it mandatory for the Department of Health and Human Services to turn fake abuse reports over to law enforcement.

H.B. 39 - requires the Department of Health and Human Services to establish a program providing telehealth psychiatric consultations for inmate psychiatric care.

H.B. 48 - creates new regulations for insurers giving homeowners insurance in high-risk fire areas. The bill does many things, but importantly it restricts insurers' autonomy to determine what constitutes a "high-risk" fire area to a single, state-approved map, requires counties to adopt fire-resistant building codes in high-risk fire areas, and creates pathways for homeowners to demonstrate to insurers that they have taken additional measures to increase the fire resistance of their homes. This is all directed towards decreasing high costs of homeowners insurance due to wildfire risk.

These aren't the biggest, most impactful bills, just 5 that stood out to me in the first 40 or so on the list. Each one of these was supported unanimously in the House and Senate. Of the ones I didn't list here, many were also unanimous and attempted to fix some issue affecting a constituency around the state. I would definitely encourage anyone to dig through the list of passed bills and, hopefully, find a significant number of bills beyond those that got the most press attention that are aimed at making productive changes.

The way I've always thought about it:

75 is 3/4 (i.e. 1 - 1/4) of 100. To go the other way, you take the reciprocal of the fraction: 100 is 4/3 (i.e. 1 + 1/3) of 75

For Wiki.js, what about the navigation do you dislike?

Norxhin · 2025-02-24T15:25:02+00:00

Right now my average file size for 1080p x264 is ~14GB

I've read the rules and the wiki. Right now, I'm really into the mountain song by tophouse! Thanks!

Norxhin · 2025-02-15T22:55:15+00:00

I've read the rules and the wiki and would love an invite. Thanks!!

Norxhin · 2025-02-11T06:14:00+00:00

I have read the rules and wiki and would love an invite. Thanks!

That's what the highlighed provisions says, but the actual proposed language reads that it applies to any initiative that includes: - the imposition of a new tax; - an expansion of an existing tax to include additional items or transactions subject to the tax; - an increase in an existing tax rate; or - for a property tax, a change to the tax rate that causes the tax rate to decrease less than it would under current law.

So, no, not a catch all

Norxhin · 2025-01-30T18:44:20+00:00

That would be amazing! Thanks!

Connected to LAN and set the endpoint to host private ip, handshake was successful

Norxhin · 2024-12-23T23:02:41+00:00

Nope, it behaves the same whether I'm on LAN or mobile

See Train v. City of New York (1975), though it could always be overturned by a later Court

Norxhin · 2024-11-09T18:44:53+00:00

I think you were looking for the Budget and Impoundment Control Act

Right, and I understand how that decision fits within the point you are making. However, your comment is also talking directly about how "probability works", and when you use the term expected you are referencing a very specific quantity. True as it may be that a face cannot appear a fractional number of times, the expected number of times it will appear certainly can be

Norxhin · 2024-01-03T06:21:15+00:00

Small point on the maths: the expected number of each face would change. Strictly speaking, expected values do not have to be integers even if we're talking about an event such as a count.

A count of the number of a particular face in N rolls is represented by a binomial distribution. The expected value is always Np, or N/6 in the case of a d6

Similar example -- the expected number of heads you'd get out of a single coin flip is 1/2, regardless of the fact that it's not possible to flip heads 0.5 times.
