TJ Combo so far, although I've mostly done a bunch of the training which is as Jago. it's weird that auto-doubles can be done with any attack now. though I really like that linkers, enders, and even ultras have their own standard attacks rather than just being special moves.

I didn't really like Bladerunner. I think everyone just likes the end scenes, which were good, sure, but overall the movie was boring and dull and didn't really explore any interesting ideas, at least to me.

I'm all for more cyberpunk, though, so I am definitely interested to see what else they can do with it.

not sure, but I think rifle rounds get mass from being long, not (just) thick. sort of like an arrow, you want something narrow and long so that you have all the mass behind it focusing through it into the front. just a guess though.

deli meat in general is really high, say 8/10. I dunno if corned beef is better or worse than anything else though. roast beef can be a little boring I guess, so it's better than that. (have even had roast beef that I knew was of fantastic quality, and it was still boring)

less likely to believe "it sucks" unless there's a lot of consensus

usually one guy saying "it sucks" (including me!) are letting particular shortcomings disproportionately bother them. it's not their fault and they're not necessarily wrong, but it's very likely that it's more of a personal thing and that not everyone would find <annoying thing> annoying enough to ruin the whole game. (in some cases, some might even see it as a good thing.)

Interesting responses. If it matters I studied civil engineering. Majority, if not all, of the notes are probably still relevant in one way or another. Equations rarely every changes over the centuries. Only stuff that might change are code related notes. Those stuff change every few years.

even if it's relevant, who cares? their use as notes was that they were specifically relevant to the course you were taking at that time, not because having written down a particular formula is going to be important forever. if you need to look up specific formulas, use the internet or a book on the topic, or even make new documents that are relevant to what you're doing now and not some class you took 10 years ago.

OoT

the Materia system in FF7 seemed cool a long time ago, but playing it recently it was embarassingly simplistic. in fact the whole combat system was pretty much dumbed down compared to previous FFs, (and those are already overrated as it is (specifically 6)).

But that is the fallacy right there. Every single roll has a 1 in 6 chance, no matter how many times you have rolled previously.

the fallacy is to say that because there is a nigh-100% chance of rolling a 6 in about 30 rolls, that if you're on your 30th roll, then you are now almost guaranteed to get a 6.

it's kind of a matter of perspective, and where you are in time determining what you can accurately say about the future. if you haven't rolled your 30 rolls yet, then your chance of getting a 6 in 30 rolls is extremely high. but if you just rolled 29 times and didn't get one, then your chance of rolling one on the last roll (and thus all 30 rolls) has dropped to 1/6. and if you fail that last time, now it drops to 0% since they're all in the past.

actually now that I think of it, this is exactly why a rule of thumb that I go by is that doing something risky once is maybe dangerous, maybe not, but doing something risky over and over again (once a day or something) definitely IS dangerous and stupid. any risky thing you do regularly has one of these graphs, and is approaching 1 over time.

Isn't charting it like that a perfect example of the gambler's fallacy? Doing it multiple times doesn't actually change the percentage of it happening each time.

no, it's measuring something else. the first graph is "how many tries does it take to 'win'" with 100,000 data points.

ex: each roll of a (fair) die is always 1/6 but "how many rolls will it tend to take to get a 6" is a different question. chart for that looks like:



the second graph is almost the same data except accumulating which I then divided by 100,000 to get "what is the accumulated chance of it taking this many tries".

for a die, that looks like this:



notice that it very quickly soars towards 100% chance of having rolled a 6. if you roll a die 4 times you have a roughly 50/50 chance of getting a 6 or not. roll it 8 times and you have about a 75% chance of getting a 6. very likely with 20 or more rolls and almost 100% guaranteed with 30+ rolls.

note that there are probably better ways to calculate this kind of thing, but I'm a programmer not a mathematician/statistician. (though I'm learning to like statistics more and more and wouldn't mind learning a lot more about it.)

here it is calculated that the chance of rolling a 6 in 4 rolls is about 52% which matches my graph

Those percentages correspond to years according to the video so it's even less likely than we think.

right, so then there'd be something like a 50% chance of failure over the course of 20-25 years.
---

http://i.imgur.com/GMouTGs.jpg http://projecteuler.net/profile/Sahuagin.png

here's the accumulated chance, using the same data:



25% around 10 tries
50% around 25 tries
75% around 45 tries

so the 50/50 mark is around 75% of the way to the 'average', with it compressed on the left and stretched out on the right.

k after simulating it, I should have known better. the highest chance is for it to happen instantly, with steadily less chance after that. not sure the 34th event has any significance whatsoever, but I still sort of feel like it must.

graph of 100,000 attempts, saving how many tries it took to 'win' a 3% chance. (bottom scale is 1-100 tries with anything beyond that ignored). (not surprisingly there was about a 3,000/100,000 chance for it to occur on the first try.)



now I'm thinking, it must be the sum. not, "what is the chance that it happened AT this point", but "what is the chance that it happened UP TO THIS point".

the idea that 97% means that you will always get 3 out of 100 is called the 'gambler's fallacy'. The probability resets each time. You don't get more likely to 'win' after a string of losses.

yeah, each event in isolation is strictly 97% (I'm just assuming that number is not made up of course which it probably is).

I'm not sure what I said is quite right but I don't know enough about it.

I want to say something like there's a tendency for it to be around the 34th event, spread like a bell curve around that point, with the first event as likely as the ~68th... but that can't be right.

it's possible the bell curve is spread between the first event and the 34th, so the tendency is for it to occur *on the way* to the 34th event. I have no idea though. almost want to try simulating it now and see what I get.

That would mean after 98th time of having sex, you are prego

as you say, it's 3 out of 100, which is one out of ~33. so it'd be the 34th time, not the 98th. but really, it would just mean that you'd have a very high chance of it occurring by around the 34th time with roughly equal chance of happening earlier than that as later than that.

I have to mention, IMO overkill is what you want. "that's so much I'll never use it all" is the point. what's the alternative? that you WILL use it all? and thereby run out of memory? the point, especially with RAM which is pretty inexpensive these days, is NOT to run out of it, even under heavy use.
