How did you get into playing?

If you mean the Monty Hall paradox, this is how I’ve recently been able to understand it.

You start with a 1/3rd chance of being right. That’s a 2/3rds chance you are wrong. Your first pick is likely wrong.

The host now must open a losing door. Since you likely already picked a losing door, the host likely only has one option for which door to reveal.

So since chances are best that you first picked a wrong door, then the host picked the other wrong door. Which means the one that hasn’t been picked by anyone yet is likely the winning door.

Edit: Monte Carlo paradox is a thing. My bad.

The gambler’s fallacy, also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy, occurs when an individual erroneously believes that a certain random event is less likely or more likely to happen based on the outcome of a previous event or series of events.

For this one I like the example: “The surgery fails 9/10 times. The last 9 patients have died. Does that mean you in the clear?”

Just because there are nearly unlimited resources out there, doesn’t mean we won’t keep abusing the ones down here.

Ehh it kinda does considering you can get a pretty full compiler tool chain running via termux.

I wasn’t doing anything. You are confusing me with another person.

For the record I’m probably what most would consider “a leftist”. I’m absolutely not not a conservative, but also absolutely not a liberal.

Just because someone is talking poorly about liberals doesn’t make them a conservative.

There is a whole other side of politics to the left of liberal. For example, socialists, communists anarchists etc.

Thinking liberal=“the left” is American propaganda. Liberals are basically centrists.

The irony is that this post itself is political.

It’s a political thing. Signals that you are a nationalist chud.

Use spell check in your code editor and never experience this again.

This way of thinking is problematic. Freedom of speech is a social contract and hate speech is a violation of that contract.

Nice

Ironic because it’s not unusual for cops to not wear seatbelts but they are more likely to die in a single vehicle accident than a gun fight.

Yeah I’m also not a fan of discord but tbh nothing super interesting happens on the discord. Most important discussion is on GitHub. I know that’s also not open source but it’s at least publicly accessible and indexable.

I’d love to see a tic80 community gain some traction on Lemmy.

It’s not but tic80 is honestly a bit cooler anyways.

The bullet proof vests really get me. They are so heavy and unlikely to be nessesary but some cops wear them ever day just to LARP.

The TIC80 fantasy console. It’s like Pico8 but open source.

That doesn’t look like yogurt…

I wonder what she “meant to happen” then?

The implication that we can’t just count the threats and they must be calculated lmao

It is. Everyone is using gotdot or unreal now and they are not going back.
