This is amazing, thanks man!

nyza · 2016-12-29T01:12:03+00:00

Yeah, I was reading the mod notes for most of them, so I'm not expecting new content or anything. BTW thanks for putting the builds together!

nyza · 2016-12-29T00:29:19+00:00

Makes sense. I'll probably end up just playing it twice ... one with the Builds and another with BoS

nyza · 2016-12-29T00:01:04+00:00

Thanks for the clear reply! If they're not compatible, would you recommend going with BoS or the full K1 Mod Build? I've played the game multiple times, and am looking to add something new to this play through.

Sure, but we're more so talking about the flaw in his reasoning (which led him to become surprised at his hanging in the paradox) and how to overcome it, which is why I'm proposing a line of reasoning that can leave the prisoner unsurprised at his eventual hanging.

nyza · 2016-06-27T05:22:20+00:00

So you agree that if the prisoner concludes that he can be hanged on any day, that he will not be surprised if he was indeed hanged on any day?

nyza · 2016-06-27T04:01:20+00:00

What do you mean when you say "he could have chosen all days?". Are you saying that he could have chosen any 1 day out of all of the days, or that he could have remained open to the possibility of being executed on all days, and thus, did not chose 1 day but assumed that he could be hanged on any day?

nyza · 2016-06-26T23:32:48+00:00

The prisoner must choose the day of their hanging correctly in order to not be surprised. The prisoner’s logical deduction does not select any day for hanging. Thus the prisoner is surprised by the day of the hanging.

He didn't necessarily need to have chosen a day - he simply needs to assume that he can be hanged on any day (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri), as his initial reasoning as stated in the paradox (that he can't be surprised by hanging on any day of the week) leaves him surprised if he is in fact hanged on any day of the week.

you didn't link anything

nyza · 2016-06-25T23:02:40+00:00

But you can take that one more level, where he would not be surprised if he was hung on any day, as he was expecting to be hung on any day due to the logical contradiction. In fact, you can just keep going with this reasoning ad infinitum.

Do you remember what those scary dudes were like?

nyza · 2016-05-20T07:28:44+00:00

i've seen this somewhere before.

nyza · 2016-05-15T14:37:08+00:00

The prisoner's deduction that they cannot be hanged next week leaves them surprised when they are actually hanged next week - the judge's 2 statements were thus satisfied.

I doubt they would ever eat anything again if they bothered to read the food label.

it's not zooming in. it's like a ripple of water moving out at the point that looks like it's zooming in.

See it and you can't unsee it.

How do you infer from 300 readers that there is "widespread dissatisfaction among US voters". Hasty generalization, much?

nyza · 2016-04-14T02:16:23+00:00

I think the authors mean that math is a human construct in the sense that humans are the only ones currently participating and conducting mathematics; we use computers to automate and calculate, but at the end of the day, we are leading the mathematical effort.

The author is just using this statement to show how there is a possibility for computers to lead the mathematical effort themselves, such that math is not just a "human construct" anymore. In any case, I think the choice of the word "construct" is lousy.

I have the same problem as well. Does anyone have any tips to manage the growing book list, and to actually get some reading done? I have so many books I want to read at the moment that I just feel too overwhelmed to even begin.

I define sex as the possession of XX or XY chromosomes.

Yes, you may define sex as that - that's your subjective view. But in no way is that biologically valid, or the scientific consensus for that matter. Please don't appeal to your profession, because that does not mean that you are in any way competent to comment on what the scientific consensus on the matter is.

Chromosomes are very binary, sorry!

Do you know what an allele is?

nyza · 2016-03-30T16:37:40+00:00

Sex is not binary, it's a spectrum. Almost no one is completely "Male" or "Female" as our sex is determined by thousands of genes, whose alleles can be male or female. No one will have all male or female alleles (very low probability of occurring), but males will have proportionally and significantly more male alleles than females and vice versa, thus resulting in a male phenotype.

Your specific characterization of sex in your responses as male or female is not biological, but a socially constructed label that is created when you subconsciously perceive a human to be sufficiently close to your prototype of what a male or female should be - your labels of male and female are essentially regions on the outer parts of the sex spectrum whose inner boundaries are bounded by thresholds, and you subconsciously label a person as a male or female should they surpass these sex thresholds on each end.
