I think they didn't notice the significance of that clarification (which, again, was given in the context of a modified problem). Reading the exchanges again, though, I see that many respondents were not only mistaken, but also impolit

Well, "born on a day" would not convey any information unless it means "during daytime". If that has probability 1/2, the answer would be 3/7. With Tuesday (or, indeed, any other weekday, with probability 1&#x2

Yes, indeed, thanks for digging it up. You see that Marilyn's answer contains the clarified correct specification ("the host, who knows what’s behind the doors and will always avoid the one with the prize..."), but the questi

Is the markdown rendered once on the server and stored as HTML? Then why is it slow? Or is it rendered for each client, or rendered in the client?

To be fair, I think this problem needs to be formulated very carefully and specifically [0], because the "correct" answer is predicated on that, and many formulations one finds (including the one in her column) are not that. [0] I

Funny, when I read > Escape the Terminal it does not sound like a good thing to me: a) the terminal is fine; b) AI should not escape anything.

Isn't the court's job to judge on compliance with the law, rather than looking at outcomes? Considering outcomes, I'd say, is the job of those writing the laws.

> a decentralized system resistant to propaganda techniques That would be nice. What's becoming increasingly clear is that the current system (optimizing for engagement) is not that.

A year or so ago, I posted a link that you can help Anna's Archive by seeding their torrents [0]. I monitored (eye-balled) their stats [1] to see whether there was a bump in seeding afterwards, and couldn't see one. So, the "

Seems misleading or at the very least incomplete not to mention that basically only the US has these high credit card interchange fees of 2-3%. EU & UK cap it at 0.3% (0.2% for debit cards), and the rest of the world are closer to EU th

Indeed - taking the square root of numbers iteratively is very satisfying, because of the super fast convergence. Sqrt 10: Guess 3, then residual is 10 - 3 3 = 1, so next guess add 1/(2 3) = 1/6, so now we're at 3.166..., and

Very neat! Just one comment: For square root of 1.47 you don't need to take the log, half it, and exp it again. It's just sqrt(147/100), or a bit more than sqrt(144/100) = 12/10 = 1.2. (If you like mental math you c

Good point. Doubling in 7 years means around 10% growth per year. So, if someone took out 10% of their stock nest-egg per year, it wouldn't have grown at all. Having said that, GP does illustrate Picketty's point in Capital in th
