Even then. Taking individual action to try and solve a systemic problem that results in a bad, unintended outcome is very on brand for Chaotic Good.

>But the summed probability of the “not too far away results” is much higher, i.e. P([93, 107]\{100}) > P([100]). That's true of every result. If you're using this to conclude you have a weird coin then every coin is weird.

Also no one was going to blame Amazon for inflation. There are still people in the US who are under the impression that the only reason they would be paying any part of the tariffs is due to corporate greed instead of that just being how ta

I feel like its easy for "Trust, but verify" to degrade into "Verify, then trust". It's that initial step of distrust while verifying that starts to sour things.

I mean, if you go far back enough "dwarves cannot be wizards" was a core part of D&D as well.

Sure, but the question isn't about which statement is possible from the liar's statement, it's about which statement we can conclude from the liar's statement. The liar could be lying because they have no hats. They coul

E cannot be correct. "All my hats are green" is still false even when I own a red hat and a green hat.

Or how when you look for something it always ends up in the last place you look, if it weren't there would have been some number of places you looked that were completely unnecessary.

I'd add Chants of Sennaar to this list. It's similar to Case of the Golden Idol/Obra Dinn in that the entire game is about making deductions about the game world, but in this case it's about decoding fantasy languages.

I've never understood this argument. Caregivers are paid; it's a job. No one is forced to go into elderly care. Having kids isn't even a guarantee that they'll be around to care for you in your old age. My grandparents h

This is the kind of statement that the Appeal to Authority fallacy was made for. Just because someone is an expert in one field doesn't mean their opinions matter in every field.

It's also a weird assertion because you also have to wait around for takeout/delivery. You could also just cook at home, which usually ends up taking just as long and takes actual effort instead of just sitting around which, in th

It certainly can. For instance, when the speaker is my mother.

Doesn't this article basically show the exact opposite of what it's claiming? It cites simulation data showing that going for 2 here only increases the chances of winning by an absolute 1.7% and uses that to claim that that's

I think you'd have to go even narrower by predefined the AI's opponent's deck as well before you'd get an AI that consistently outperformed humans. Even the most all in combo or burn deck will drop lose percentage points

Those runs get ignored since that isn't the scenario. Specifically we're looking at the case where Monty opens a goat by chance (ie. he could have opened the car, but did not). It also helps that that result doesn't matter to

It's a game that is very fun for people who are already invested in card games. The pricing was a big issue, but another one was that the game just isn't that fun for more casual players. It's a game that is very sensitive to
