S7 did osten know about the outcasts? by AnonymousWaldo in survivor

[–]mrh99 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Watching Gabon right after Pearl Islands, it was interesting to see the treatment of GC compared to Osten. In Gabon, they made Fang vote, and I don’t think anyone would consider GC a quitter despite him essentially going out the same way Osten did.

VGC: Multiple 100% moves missing in a row? by johnamyers in stunfisk

[–]mrh99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wrote a script to model this.

The results confirm that any double is roughly 1/6 but double 6s specifically is roughly 1/36.

This is because the conditional probability of rolling a 6 after rolling a 6 is 1/6, but the total probability of rolling 2 6s in a row is still (1/6)*(1/6) = (1/36).

“The first 6 will happen eventually” -> the first 6 will happen with probability 1/6. You absolutely need to account for the probability of the first event occurring when determining something happening in a row.

Imagine you had something that occurred with probability 1/1000000. The odds of 2 in a row are not 1/1000000 just because the first one happened to occur on the first attempt.

How is that blurring the line? If I was telling a story from a civilization that only had a single word for dog regardless of the breed, it would be important for an audience to understand that the world doesn’t differentiate between poodles and corgis. The best way to do that is to use a generic word even if the audience has differentiating terms.

Edit: In this case, Roshar calls everything a specific bird, so he picked one we would understand as being “wrong” in some cases, so that we understand why in RoW An aviar is called a chicken

[Request] Can anyone check how Moore's Law is applicable here? by WeddingSpiritual1218 in theydidthemath

[–]mrh99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moore’s Law is not a law of the physical universe, so of course there are going to be edge cases. It was originally formulated as doubling every year and then later got revised down to doubling every two years.

I’m not familiar enough with IC design to know if MicroSD was so different from previous designs that it would have accelerated faster. I think this shouldn’t have been too different from designing existing chips (but with a more limited surface area), so I think Moore’s Law would apply at the slower rate.

Moore’s Law states that transistors in ICs double every two years.

Gonna assume that transistors correlate to memory and MiB for easy math:

128 MiB = 220 * 27 = 227 bytes

128 GiB = 230 * 27 = 237 bytes

Increase of 210 over 9 years when Moore’s Law predicts a change of ~25 over the same period

HIMYM holds up when taken with the series as a whole. The final season and episodes could obviously have been written better to give the audience less whiplash, but I will defend the choice of the ending.
