Again if i cant explain who will win, I am simply guessing.

by ThomPete 4y ago
why dont you explain it to me?
183.
by ThomPete 4y ago
No. Just like i dont go to the casino expecting to win.

I might take the bet but I would just be guessing or I might work towards trying to find a solution to turn the guess into an explanation. At no time does probability help me with figuring out what the outcome is. I can either explain what

It's not the discussion whether people can conceive all sorts of things. The discussion is about its relationship to reality.

There is a probability, it can be described based on what cards have already been dealt. It does not change whether that specific card is an ace or not. So yes we agree.

I would say "I don't know" and I would be lying if I said anything else. I can tell you I don't have any plans of going on a helicopter ride tomorrow. I can also tell you that I have no idea if the next president will be

I use the same one as you. I conjecture based on my ability to explain why I think x will happen or wont happen. No amount of putting percentages on X changes X. It either happens or doesn't.

Not if you submit to the Everett interpretation.

by ThomPete 4y ago
Yes and most of that is wrong. Physics doesn't deal with probability but with explanations. (Yes also in QM)
191.
by ThomPete 4y ago
Just because it's limited doesn't mean I can assign probability to it. As I said. The difference is closed and open systems. No problem with probability of getting a given card based on what have already been dealt in ex a game. T

Yes probability have its place for ex error correction in closed systems. But you can't predict the future with it. That's what I am trying to get at.

by ThomPete 4y ago
Probability does not exist in reality as it's open ended. It does however exist in ex a deck of cards and a game that's defined. Probability is often being misused to say things about reality though. You see that especially in co

You teach yourself UI/UX by applying knowledge from outside the field through design patterns and trial and error to actual projects. Understand the user data adjust according, rinse repeat. Understand business, understand programming

There is going to be no end to demand in the future for Nvidia unless it's going to another chip producer or another technology (like quantum chips) It's really that simple IMO. AI have just started becoming mainstream and it will

GDPR is a horrible horrible solution and only helps the big corporations who can afford all the extra work to ensure that users who actually end up agreeing to the terms are locked in. It helps no one besides politicians who now have create

Because that's what the Everett interpretation deals with.

You can claim that all you want. Let me know when we are creating hydrogen without fossil fuels and at scale.
199.
by ThomPete 4y ago
You are agreeing with me.

by ThomPete 4y ago
I understand quantum mechanics very well which is why I understand that the Everett interpretation is how we move forward.

Fusion is the sun. In the future we will be able to do what the sub does which is to create the raw materials we all do. Keep in mind fusion is not just another way to power our lightbulbs, it's a different type of energy among others

Science is about creating explanations. The laws of nature is not probabilistic. Probabilities are used when we have a limited set like a deck of cards. But it's not used to create scientific explanations.

by ThomPete 4y ago
I have learned a long time ago to look for words like 'likely', 'might', 'could' 'potentially' to differentiate between pure speculation and sensationalization and then actual scientific evidence. Thi

by ThomPete 4y ago
In the lab is a very very very very very different thing than at scale. Hydrogen is not feasible anytime soon. Maybe when we get Fusion but then it's most likely going to be used for materials not energy.
