At some point, it's possible to draw conclusions from the fact that a whole bunch of generally intelligent people can't make a good argument for something's worth.

For example:

> The fact that I have not met a single knowledgable person who managed to convince me that eating poop is a good idea that solves problems that need solving in elegant ways doesn't speak about me, it speaks about the topic at hand.

Do we conclude that eating poop is a great idea, and that more looking is what's needed? Or can we conclude that there's probably a reason folks struggle to justify the concept?
This explained it better to me than the article

this is interesting. I had an alert from an ID monitoring service I subscribe to today advising of a “mid severity breach” for an undisclosed service.

A lot of these Rust complaints are just people not reading the docs (not trying to say Rust doesn't have legitimate usage friction; of course it does).

Pro tip: most popular crates have excellent documentation (I know it's a shocker coming from other languages). So, check stuff before you use it.

I assume this is because the ecosystem lowers the barrier to entry for writing an generating documentation (compared to other ecosystems).
Everything you see a big player do for ethics is for PR or legal reasons, for most companies.

Going green. Affirming diversity. Giving to charities. And of course, ethic committees.

When the cost of those outgrow the benefit they get from it, they throw it out of the window.

You know Bill Bernbach's quote: "A value isn't a value unless it costs you something."

It's not just for people. It's for corporation too.
It's definitely not optimal, but GP probably wanted to highlight that it's not much worse than Baikonur (45°), at least when you compare it to Cape Canaveral (28°) or Kourou (5°).

Does that mean we nullify the Ten Commandments, or are those still 'the word of God'? Have you read them and thought about them? They are basically three major things:

1. Pay attention to God, a lot, and don't make him jealous
2. Uphold patriarchy
3. Don't murder/steal/lie*

None of those things are 'loving', and the only true absolutes (the ones God doesn't revoke when he gets a bit pissed and commands followers to smite whole people's for offending him somehow) are the 'worship God' and 'uphold patriarchy' parts.

Jesus was a Great PR guy, but for everything he did to make the big guy look good, he still ended up getting tortured to death for lulz and never got Daddy's love (why hast thou forsaken me?).

Honestly a true reading of God is a sadistic narcissist and it makes the most sense. If an omnipotent being actually cared about us he wouldn't give a bunch of conflicting information all the time and watch us hurt each other and let babies die of AIDS...and he damn sure wouldn't have tortured his own kid to death.

Sounds like a good incentive for the janitors to not leave doors open at night for their own convenience, creating massive security risks.

Regardless, plenty of places need janitors and the likes. They'll find other jobs.
I would change my choice because I understand the problem. But I would also change my choice in the scenario with 3 boxes. I'm not arguing with the conclusion, what I don't understand is the people who have their mind changed by the argument.

Extending it to 1000 boxes/doors still doesn't explain why the remaining unopened box is different from the box your picked originally.
In theory absolutely true, in practice it doesn’t seem to be the case.

Which makes sense as BoA isn’t losing customers or capital starved.
The random action of the host choosing to open one of the two loosing boxes is not distinguishable by the player: the resulting states are always part of the same information-set in game-theory parlance. As player actions are always only depending on information-sets, the table actually contains information-sets as rows. It only looks weird because most of the information-sets of the game assign deterministic values to all the variables.
The surrealistic manifesto by Breton excludes AI, since it has no thought:

"Psychic automatism in its pure state, by which one proposes to express—verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other manner—the actual functioning of thought. Dictated by thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason, exempt from any aesthetic or moral concern."
You can sell them to yourself (at arm's length, using separate entities) to establish a price, and then sell them to yourself again (using a different entity) to take the profit and launder the money.

And perhaps also, “remember: Monty will always open a door, and the contestant knows it”.

Makes me wonder if there were similar shows where the host can choose not to open a door.

The maximum jitter allowed by the IEEE specifications is 1.4 ns for 100-megabit Ethernet and 300 ps for Gigabit Ethernet. The bit time for a 48 kHz audio signal is ~20 000 ns. It is absolutely impossible that you can hear the Ethernet jitter.
This has nothing to do with "wokeness" or inclusivity, this is known as past exonerative.

It's a way of distancing yourself from the blame. "Mistakes were made" instead of "we made mistakes". Or "a suspect was killed in an officer-involved shooting" instead of "a policeman killed the suspect". "Teammates were impacted" instead of "we laid people off".

It's like saying "shit happens, who knows who's to blame" when we all know who's to blame.

> On another topic, when desktop publishing first came along in the 80s, everyone had a go at it…. anyone with access to a computer threw together documents full of fonts and fancy layout. They looked like crap.

People didn't stop desktop publishing. Almost everyone is doing it in some shape or form - from something as simple as drafting a CV, or writing a homework essay, or creating a simple form for their hobby club, is making use of text-layout technology where previously you would do this by hand (with a ruler, and handwritten/typewritten text) and then photocopied times however many copies you need.

Desktop publishing/typesetting has become so ubiquitous that it's effectively invisible and "just a thing that computers do nowadays". Perhaps the same thing will happen to AI art.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in your particular example (spectator opens an empty door and I am asked if I want to switch), nothing changes in regards to the original Monty Hall problem. If a spectator opens a random remaining door, one of two things can happen:

- a car is revealed, I lose immediately (there is no option to switch anymore)

- no car is revealed, which means I again have 2/3 chances when switching, not a 50% chance as you've stated

In your example, the spectator opens an empty door, so there is no difference to the host opening an empty door in regards to the probability. Again, if the spectator opens a car, I just lose.
Well it is still work and time and parent saved us from it.

So it is convenient for us, but whether it is legal, is probably a grey area.
> The thing that is often de-emphasised in the presentation of the problem, in order to make it seem more mysteriously paradoxical, is that the presenter knows where the car is and this knowledge is always used perfectly. If the question always ended with "remember: Monty knows where the car is and will use this information", it would be more obvious.

The associated line of reasoning resolved the paradox for me. If I stick with my original choice, it is as if I ignored the new information. If I switch the choice, I react to the new information.

The extreme of this is to pick among countably infinite doors, having the presenter open countably infinite doors and leaving just yours and another closed. Who could reasonable suggest that the chance is still 50/50, assuming you don't flip a coin and base your choice on that?
The article also felt like Rust does it this way because all these other projects which came before it did it this way. Someone originated the technique and no one questions its validity, without seeing if there was an alternative method to achieve the same result.

I did spend about 20 minutes looking into this, it seems that there's an (admittedly undocumented) IOCTL which is in the Winsock headers (MSWsock.h) called SIO_EXT_POLL which seems to just use the poll device IO control code and so they could probably do this without messing with low-level AFD weirdness.

That said you'd think with Microsoft going all in on Rust, last I heard at least, that they could find a way to re-implement this code correctly. Hell, if they at least documented the IOCTL they could probably get co-pilot to do it for them ;)
Alright, touche.
That's not true at all. Any deed of ownership can be finite, especially if they refer to a physical object where there is a natural limit on the number of owners. Just because you can make infinite copies of the document, doesn't mean the legal system allows you to do that.

Yeah but maybe the Windows drivers for Surface touchpads mess with that setting or touchpad behavior in ways they don't on non-Microsoft touchpads. Knowing Microsoft I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. I would just stay clear form most Surface devices as they're Microsoft's attempt of copying the worst parts from Apple without any of the good ones.

>The article you linked seems to be about Windows 10, not 11.

Yeah but the touchpad settings dialogue is the same in both, I assumed you'd be tech savvy enough to not get hung up on this difference. Hit the windows key, start typing "touchpad" and as you do, "Touchpad settings" should be highlighted, hit enter, go to Taps, and play with the sensitivity setting.

>And even so, no dice following it's advice neither.

I mean I don't know what to tell you. I know that "it works on my machine" is the most cliché meme in the tech world, and not a helpful answer, but I only have one machine to test on and since it works out of the box on this one whiteout me having to dick with it to get it to work, I can't really reproduce your issue.

>= 2/3. Just from this knowledge alone, you could decide that you will always switch, since the probability that the other boxes have the keys is 2/3.

Your sentence the particular way you worded it is not the correct mathematical model.

The player does not get to switch to BOTH OF THE OTHER 2 boxes as an alternative to just the 1st box. Therefore the 2/3rd probability doesn't apply.

Where the non-intuitive 2/3rds probability becomes the answer instead of 50/50 is the host's perfect knowledge of always choosing the door without the car.
I have had two heat pumps in the last 20(ish) years. The first one worked ok for heating. Warm air I can only describe as tepid blew out of the registers. The second heat pump is amazing. We live in Madison, WI, so very cold. This heat pump blows out air that feels just like the gas furnace air and is able to heat our house down to around 5 degrees Fahrenheit. It consumes quite a bit more energy at that temp and cost wise gas is better.

I would second @quirkot in all of his points. I consider myself a good home re modeler. I have done plumbing, electrical including replacing all the wiring up to the pigtail at the top of the roof. I will not touch HVAC or gas.

Most high level AWS API clients don't provide an easy way to map their operations into well thought low level IAM permissions.

So you might need many iterations of trial and error possibly involving different teams (dev, sec, ops, etc...) just to figure out the minimum pivileges needed for something.

As a concrete example, check the docs for boto3's upload_file method: https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/refe...

UploadFile is not a S3 API action, so there's no IAM policy for that. It's up to you to search in the docs and in the internet which S3 APIs upload_files uses under the hood and how to properly design a policy for those.

As a possible solution, here's how AWS CDK does things:

> a = SomeResource()

> b = OtherResource()

> a.grant_read(b)

Resources auto generate IAM policies from high level constructs, which leaves much less room for human error.

I do not think that when it's explicitly stated it becomes intuitive for everyone and that adds a further wrinkle. Many people will still get it wrong, even when the problem is stated correctly.

However, if the rule is not explicitly stated, how can the player know that the rule exists? Perhaps "Monty" is evil and will not always open a door, "evil Monty" will only open a door when he knows you've chosen correctly.

IOW, without that rule explicitly stated, the answer "Switch" is simply incorrect. Without that rule, the answer is "I don't have enough information to know."
