I don't follow, which parameter was unspecified in the original problem?
152.
by LargeWu 2y ago
That's fine, but given the parameters of the problem change with the Monty Crawl variant, it's not the same problem, and doesn't invalidate the answer of the base variant.

I think, canonically, Monty always knows where the prize is, and will always eliminate all doors except for one, and will never eliminate a door with the prize, and will always give you a choice to switch. There's no room for Monty&#x2

The difference here is that the Monty Hall problem has an explanation that while counterintuitive, is statistically sound. You should always switch, because the probability you picked the correct door is locked in at the time you made the c

Not only that, you have to build new wooden airports every single year to keep up.

A more apt statement might be that we spend more, even if our quality of care is not better. And the reason we spend more is because of profit-maximizing companies in the middle.

No, but this is a case where incorrect AI decisions may legitimately contribute to people's deaths. Let's also not normalize the idea that it's OK for people to die so one of the most profitable companies in the world can mak

I don't think that's what they're saying. Anacostia High School in Washington DC has zero percent of students meeting expectations in Math, yet its funding per student is twice that of nearby districts that perform much bet

Just to be clear, your version of the ideal response to an unverified claim of a hostage situation is to immediately escalate?

Maybe just sending out a single squad car first to get a credible assessment?

If they can be summoned by just placing an anonymous phone call with an unverified claim, that might be a problem though.

One description of the class of problems LLM's are a good fit for is anything at which you could throw an army of interns. And this seems consistent with that.

I work for <megacorp> and the way they get around this is by only hiring contractors. Because then the liability for that is on the vendor.

That, to me, is not a problem with the exam though. It's a problem of teaching to a special case and not the general case. If you want to find fault, it's in the incentive system. But I don't see how the exam itself is the pr

"it is a daycare centre for kids while parents go on about their careers?" This is the kind of thing that could only be said by somebody who is not a parent. There might be a minority of parents for whom this is true, but I know z

What, specifically, is an example of an exam not measuring proficiency? If an exam is well designed, the student will need to figure out what is being asked and use their mastery to provide an answer.

I enjoy gambling on sports for small sums. I put $500 or so in a book a number of years ago and I've basically stayed even over that time. But I do not think the current climate is healthy, and it's definitely predatory. An signs

Oh, they will get worse, much worse. But the simpletons who think the president is in charge of egg prices or whatever will never comprehend that. Maybe if it gets bad enough people will learn then.

The issue is that she's part of the current administration and the current dominant party. That's all people care about. They look at who's in charge and vote the other way. It's really that simple.

Because they look at metrics like GDP and the stock market and unemployment, and fail to realize that it's not evenly distributed. Increasing GDP and stock market indicate somebody is making a lot of money, but the average voter isn&

Some will be obvious, such as a review for a book or game or other media item that hasn't been publicly released. I would expect a platform such as Amazon would have responsibility to suppress reviews for items that are not, and have n

Modern social media has beaten the idea of any nuance out of its consumers. I think it's very challenging for younger people today to understand satire and subtext, even the very concept of a thought experiment. When one's primary

There was a lot of cross pollination between artists and academics in that 60's counterculture crowd. Ken Kesey was a brilliant author who was also on the forefront of experimentation with LSD. John Perry Barlow was a lyricist for the

It's not at all about how much is being charged. The difference with gas stations, and it can't be underestimated, is that I can typically stop at a minimum every 30 miles and refuel at a gas pump. It's almost guaranteed. Sur
