Contrast ratios don’t go away in light mode. The contrast ratio of black-on-white is the same as white-on-black. Curious then what is the real driver of these issues? If accessibility teaches us anything, it’s that there’s certainly no one

Hey, just wanted to say nice app :) Lotta people talking about broader app/subscription ecosystem issues, which hopefully you can take as off-topic to your specific project. Making a cool useful thing and putting it on the internet is

That would be kind of neat. Bc realistically the marginal costs on most digital things is negligible. But if it were practical to charge people the 1e-11 dollars per page view or whatever maybe could do some interesting things

That's... not the user's problem. This is a fine and cool project don't get me wrong. But the overall 'subscription everything' model is not really justified by costs. The subscriptions are usually orders of magnitu

The error lies in thinking they're 'real' systems to be taken for granted and blindly reasoned forward from, instead of sometimes-helpful academic categorizations. You can always factor things into groups. e.g. 'Thoughts

I mean that seems a bit uncharitable. I don’t think the author communicating their intent behind the name is aggravating or manipulative. It’s simply an explanation. Shouldn’t be worth more than an ‘ah, I see what they’re going for’ and mov

Seems like the terminology of calling it a ‘true’ belief led to some confusion. Of course there is an huge difference between evidence and proof. Correlation is not causation, Godel’s incompleteness theorem, all abstractions are leaky, etc.

Here's another way to look at it. With a naive binary search strategy, which is an optimal algorithm for search for a sorted static array, we have: Step # | % of reachable numbers in [1,100] 1 | 1% = 2^0 2 | 3% = 2^1 + 2^0 3 | 7% = 2^2

hey, thanks for the blog post and your reply! I think I follow - a generalization of a coin-flip type game. I agree that if you have more starting money, you would never lose. From the binary search idea, even if chosen adversarially, the w

It's a good question, sort of related to optimal bet sizing. Check out this wiki which another commenter also mentioned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_criterion?useskin=vector

Yeah, exactly - you wouldn't stake your life on hitting the average case in an n=1 scenario. Parkour community sounds really cool!

by nighthawk454 2y ago
That is an interesting question. I suppose it's equivalent to the 'worst case' performance for binary search, which would be a relevant topic. Finding the optimal strategy in the case where the opponent _may_ be adversarial c

People are really zeroing in on the word 'bankrupt' here. The point was if you used that strategy, all in 100% of the time for positive EV, you will _probably_ go bankrupt even though the n=infinity limit of that strategy is posit

You could? There's no reason you couldn't do $50,000 with bets of $10,000. The point is you get 5 guesses before you lose. The bet sizes don't really matter.

by nighthawk454 2y ago
I think you've misread. The bankruptcy was in an analogy to poker. The point is if you get _one round_ to play - essentially all or nothing - should you play? No.
