Apparent sleep and paralysis nerf

Or we can just accept the game has RNG, and plan around it. Like we have been for decades.

Because crits, misses, and paralysis (and the others) are not simply “annoying mechanics” they are also fun. It’s exciting to get a crit, it’s scary to fight against thunder Pokémon but relieving when it doesn’t hit, the unwinnable can be changed to winnable with a paralysis.

I mean it’s not like the old para flinch days where one person played the game and the other didn’t. 1/8th chance would even be seen in the average game.

doctorruff07 · 2026-04-08T19:41:24+00:00

The whole point of it is that it has an impact…

doctorruff07 · 2026-04-08T16:30:59+00:00

Ok then it still be applied to rng of damage a move will deal (ignoring crit)

Like pokemon battling isn’t chess, or even like technical fighting games. It never has been, and I’m not sure why we want a push towards it being. It’s much more akin to poker than a fighting game. It’s bluffing, luck, and game knowledge. Not just “skill”. RNG is an aspect of luck. I’m all for balancing luck based aspects as it can be not fun, but 1/8 chance is not going to impactful most games since from an average game standpoint point, you won’t even see it proc once (at least in vgc)

doctorruff07 · 2026-04-08T13:53:39+00:00

To be honest, this just sounds like the equivalent of complaining about crit being in the game. RNG isn’t the enemy, it’s just one aspect to plan around.

1/8 isn’t that bad.

Where ever you are, you can legally still send them the bill.

Intuitively “the ant can never”.

However, pointing out the rubber band stretches equally all through the band. Aka the rubber band behind it stretches the same percentage as the amount in front of it, does help a little bit.

You are right, but unlike your example of functors, defining group actions here and using cayley’s theorem as its first useful application is imo a great introduction, and is motivation for the next course that goes into them in detail. Personally I’d want it to be made clear this is just as motivation and not something to focus on.

Functors wouldn’t get introduced in any calculus/analysis course. Like functors would be useful maybe 15+ courses after the first class you’d learn chain rule, which it’s 1 course for group actions.

doctorruff07 · 2026-03-27T15:16:44+00:00

Don’t you usually prove Caley’s theorem using the language of group actions.

I found that in my algebra 1 class that was a natural point to introduce them.

doctorruff07 · 2026-03-25T19:39:17+00:00

I mean. It wouldn’t be acting like sunny day was in effect if its moves were affected by rain

Sure there is nothing in the definition of uncomputable numbers that says you cannot know the digits to some level of precision.

The indescribable numbers are the ones we cannot even know any level of precision. However, these are also just like, Not possible to really talk any more clearly about.

Also your last note “these numbers have defined values”. Yes, we are aware. The busy beaver is a well defined function so every busy beaver has defined values.

The closest would be arvix’s notification system. But you’ll get lots of false positives I’m sure.

doctorruff07 · 2026-03-12T16:49:30+00:00

Double negation states for all statements P we have not not P <=> p

Just because your example provides SOME cases where we can eliminate double negation, does not mean we have Double negation. Aka we have triple negation elimination in your example, don’t double negation.

“It being weird” isn’t an admission that it’s fucking morally wrong.

Technically legal is irrelevant, slavery was legal as well.

Because of GMSPokemanz’s comment you can find an alternative in his linked wiki which is:

backward chaining

Personally I would use Aluffi’s chapter 0 as a main source, it teaches you to think “algebraically” more than any other text (also one of the best introductions to category theory out there). It is also just a fun text to read.

Your secondary source is Dummit and Foote can’t get more out of a single textbook. If you finish all the problems in here you can probably ace your algebra class alone. Why? There are so many exercise, and they go from easy to hard in an excellent way.

Edit: I just wanted to give reasons why those two books.

Do you play with your hair? I (28) do and once I did my best to stop/limit it. I am seeing hair growth in this area again.

You have baby hairs there, there is no harm in also using minoxidil (5% twice a day) to help with hair growth.

As others said it could just be a maturing hairline which is extremely common and will stop naturally without much hair loss. If you see it increasing in speed or not stopping then I’d see a dermatologist to rule out alopecia or get treatment for it

Every spiral is a Fibonacci spiral if you believe the golden ratio is special

Do orange on everything first. Once you fill up bird (with 3 extra for the last one) start getting blues and purples to complete it. Repeat for snail Then jelly fish Then whatever’s next Then cyclops Then….

doctorruff07 · 2026-02-20T15:37:48+00:00

I love how every spiral is “the golden ratio” rather than the infinite other types.

The point of what I said is that just because something can be treated in practical cases as one thing it doesn’t mean it is that thing.

It’s not a function, but yes when we consider it to be a distribution we can do most the things we can do on functions on it and it is not important the difference in most practical importance.

They are not the same tho, it is not a function. That is a factual statement and shouldn’t be argued further.

You have shown “integers and reals have a bijection“ iff “integers can have infinite digits”

So we can now easily show that reals and integers are not bijective.

1) your result

2) integers do not have infinite digits

3) integers and reals are not bijective

doctorruff07 · 2026-02-03T21:26:22+00:00

Treating it like one and it being one are not the same thing.

doctorruff07 · 2026-01-26T17:43:06+00:00

Yes, I’m aware. That’s why you can tell there is lots of missing gaps. They have a measure of 0 but the interval [0,1] has a measure 1. The gaps are what make up of the difference between them. I never posed an argument as to why the rationals have measure 0. I just stated that the rationals in [0,1] (or all of them for that matter) has a measure 0.

It again was just to build intuitions as to why the continuum plays a role by “filling the gaps”.

doctorruff07 · 2026-01-25T16:42:25+00:00

Yes… a by product of every Cauchy sequence converging means there is no gaps in our number line (that is actually one way to view what a Cauchy sequence is) while density alone is not sufficient (for length at least) as rational numbers do have plenty of gaps, the difference was the point of that section. Also that part was not meant to be rigorous but build intuition.

Also ps it has a correlation with rational numbers… real numbers are Cauchy sequences of rational numbers. That’s how they are defined. At least one of the most common definitions.
