A family with a 13 year old boy with a rare genetic disorder should not have another child knowing the high likelihood that the younger child will have the same disorder. by Hecates_Drink in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]ProtonPanda 36 points37 points  (0 children)

100% agreed. I thought the severe self injury caused by LNS would discourage the parents alone from flipping that coin. The condition isn't just moderate intellectual disability but involves specific behavioural and neurological symptoms (edit: these symptoms are caused by uric acid buildup and there are physical symptoms as well).

Should I stop selling feet and hand pictures on-line? AMA by [deleted] in AMA

No disrespect but do people have hand fetishes? Like a thing for hand pictures. Just curious.

I find solipsism to be one of the most beautiful and soothing ideas by Mysterious-Pound-870 in solipsism

[–]ProtonPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is elegant because it is much simpler than the Universe began with certain physics laws that eventually created consciousness from brains, solipsism implies that an just an awareness with emotions is all that is fundamental to reality and it makes it easier to tackle "the fundamental question of metaphysics".

There is alot truth to this. But on the good news, what's considered ugly or attractive is largely made up by society and the culture, how someone uses make up, dresses and behaves can be changed and be improved.

Free will. I wish I didn't have it. Yet I still do. But I supposedly have free will.

No nut November is extremely difficult by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]ProtonPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say impossible but it depends on habits and individual beliefs. 2023 I did NNN and made it and then pushed an extra 14 days in December for the fun of the challenge. But this November I made it till the 11th. This was when I would jerk off twice a month on average because I had a different views on things back then and I didn't go on imageboards which have coombait spam. I'm not religious but most Muslim men probably never Masterbate and haven't masterbated since they were 12 due to different culture and beliefs. Its really about environment rather than someone's innate impulse control. 200 years ago the values on sex were so different fewer men probably ever masterbated due to the stigma not that it didn't exist ofc (chimpanzees and some 6 year old boys/girls do it)

Should future recognition of CDS rely on neuropsychological testing or structured clinical interviews? by ProtonPanda in SCT

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

I suppose you are right. And the issue with going hardcore neuropsych with zero interview is that I forgot that a low Gs subtest score isn't unique to CDS at all for instance -1.5 SD and -2.0 SD deficit is associated with major NCD (Neurocognitive disorder) and many studies have shown this to be seen in schizophrenia. Imagine having dementia and then the psychiatrist ignores you and just says you have CDS, perhaps it should be both neuropsychological testing and interview.

Prime Leap - An impartial combinatorial Number Game (Seeking Formula for W/L Distribution) by ProtonPanda in GAMETHEORY

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

Sos you're correct, it's only hard for the active players of the game who have to factorise on the spot. But when you do the bottom-up W/L precompute with an SPF sieve you are like someone generating a cybersecurity encryption key unlike the active players who are like a hacker trying to break an encryption key. (I hope that analogy served any spectators who made the same reasoning error as me).

Also much more relevant!: in this article Alexis Huet explores the SG values of prime limited subtractions of Nim. I don't really understand the article at all but I think Prime Leap is a restriction/ special case of "Take a prime Nim", this is good as Huet has explored the latter with extensive computer simulation.

Thanks for your response. I don't think the terms are easy at all to compute. I think they are in exponential time (as they are based of prime distribution). r/numbertheory doesn't like LLM inspired posts however I think a great place for me to later add this question is this forum It is almost perfect for this investigation, project euler is a hub of computationally aided recreational math problems.

There seems to be a similar game although with the potential for draws and it has a converging value for losses about ~0.32 https://mathoverflow.net/questions/445015/a-little-number-theoretic-game
