That does make sense, thanks for writing this out.
- Comment on The house always wins 1 week ago:
I didn’t mean dice rolls for who starts, but moving around the board.
If you go around the board 0 times, there’s a 100% chance the player who started will be ahead.
If you go around the board 1 times, there’s a less-than-100% chance the player who started will be ahead.
Every added round around the board increases the.standard deviation of spaces moved. While the expected amount of spaces moved will still be higher for the first mover after their turn, the significance of this difference goes down as the standard deviation goes up.
Therefore, running 100 rounds around the board before starting the game will change the first-mover advantage from being ahead 100% of the time to, likely slightly more than 25% of the time but very close to 25%.
- Comment on The house always wins 1 week ago:
Well, if you do infinite die rolls, your standard deviation becomes so high the “7” spaces bias will be relatively less significant
However, replacing first-mover advantage by RNGesus advantage is not significantly better

- Comment on Theories on Theories 2 weeks ago:
Well our current model of superposition is what lets us do predictions on qubits that have turned out to be correct; just seeing “history” would not let our current quantum algorithms be developed. That’s the beauty of scientific theories; good ones are simple but let us predict and test new ideas. Superposition is wildly successful in that sense.
- Comment on Theories on Theories 2 weeks ago:
since each instruction in the computer is a function over the whole algorithm’s history back to the start of the quantum circuit, rather than just the current state of the computer’s memory at that present moment.
How do you explain, without superposition, how a gate operating on single (entangled) qubits has access to the entire history of all qubits of the system?
- Comment on Theories on Theories 5 weeks ago:
I’m pretty sure this goes against the properties proven of entanglement (Bell test) and how far entanglement can propagate, but I don’t know enough about quantum mechanics to explain why this explanation is incompatible with entanglement.
However, I don’t currently see how this at all explains computing with superpositions; if it’s just statistics a superposition can never exist, so entanglement doesn’t exist; so quantum algorithms wouldn’t be possible, but we know they are.
- Comment on Theories on Theories 5 weeks ago:
The wavestate is entirely deterministic, and we don’t fully understand where the probabilistic measurement happens. The Copenhagen intrpretation makes it probabilistic but is not proven.
(even many worlds doesn’t explain why we ourselves only see one macroscopic section of the wavefunction)

Yes, but why is the me commenting this on Lemmy this one?
- Comment on Look at this. Or don't. 5 months ago:
Uhh it still doesn’t explain why we only perceive a randomly chosen one in those many worlds, does it? Like where is the die roll coming from?
- Comment on Look at this. Or don't. 5 months ago:
I don’t think anyone figured out the “why” for wave-function collapse yet, the Copenhagen interpretation is obviously flawed. PBS had a good video about it a few months ago, but if you don’t get it, that’s not weird since the leading theories for WFC are all inelegant.

In Delft, corrections of the curve are only ever used upwards, in case the passing rate is very low. If everyone completes the test without mistakes everyone gets a 10.
