You could observe future random numbers by taking combat actions, and then reset to the start of the fight and play a line which consumes fewer random numbers in order to manipulate your card rewards. Maybe you could generate the card rewa

Well, once you've derived unary exp and ln you can get subtraction, which then gets you unary negation and you have addition.

It doesn't mean anything. The point is that the language of lean, and its proof derivation system, are able to express (and prove) statements that do not correspond to any meaningful mathematics.

I feel obliged to mention that this does feature prominently in Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars trilogy. The single most important piece of infrastructure on Mars is a space elevator, but not everyone on the planet is happy with how t

Not only does Southwest exclusively fly Boeing aircraft, they exclusively fly 737s, which enables their unusual routing style. Essentially every pilot and crew at Southwest can fly any aircraft the company has for them. Presumably this giv

I should admit I'm being very generous to Peters here - I came to the conclusion that this is what he means only because the math of ergodicity ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergodic_theory#Ergodic_theorem... ) tal

The expected value of this distribution goes up with every iteration, there is no such Kelly point. You could try this with heads: double your money tails: lose all your money in which case the expected value is always $1, as you have a 1&

I believe the entire point of the ergodicity question here is "If you apply this process n times, with n approaching infinity, obviously the result may depend on what point in the n-times iterated distribution you sample, but if you ch

The "average" of the distribution goes up as you increase the number of rounds, but the probability that you get an average or above value when you sample that distribution once goes to zero as the number of rounds increases.

If you repeat this game n times (as n goes to infinity), you will have Θ(n) pairs of (heads, tails) and O(sqrt(n)) unpaired wins or losses, except for a vanishingly small fraction of the time when the results fall outside of any fixed numbe

Hey what do you know, I found the lawsuit: "That same week, Bitwarden tasked Mr. Scharf with interviewing a potential employee whose “preferred pronouns” were in contradiction to Mr. Scharf’s religious beliefs. Mr. Scharf conducted t

Have you ever shared interview notes with anyone? I type mine up... and 'TC' is just as useful in my shorthand as he/she would be. I agree with you that if these were his personal notes from which he then composed his evalua

They certainly can let the old RSUs expire worthless, but holding up the "social contract" (as opposed to the strict legal contract) with their employees (and former employees!) while also not drawing the ire of the IRS may be a c

I don't know why you believe later employees get options. It is true that at public companies, employees often are compensated with options, but at "startup"s where the FMV of a new employee grant would be prohibitively expe

If you do an 83b election on RSUs, you'd recognize the entire present value of the RSU grant as income in that year, and pay taxes on it. I believe you're then limited to claiming capital losses on that if you leave before it all

On the contrary, I am not making the claim that "it isn't theft because no such property has been deprived". I think whether it is theft is a nuanced question, and it can only be answered if we are clear on what we think tha
