Let me be simple. If a player can't win a game, then what's the point of playing it? I mean, everyone wants to start out as white when playing chess i...

Like 4chan?

This reply: Assuming it is inconsequential if any player has a strategy that is infallible. And, if they do, then the game is no longer worth playing ...
March 14, 2020 at 21:56
Well, yes, as this applies to any deterministic game, correct?
March 14, 2020 at 21:22
Perfect information seems to be irrelevant here. The point is that stochastically it would become deterministic after enough iterations of game playin...

Hello Nagase, What are your thoughts about the first sentiment proposed in this thread, about games being unitary or zero-sum, after an exhaustive met...
March 14, 2020 at 20:08
A game theoretic scenario entails that both players have an equal chance at winning... But, once you introduce the notion of a developing and advancem...
March 14, 2020 at 04:06
Doesn't count. Otherwise it wouldn't be much of a game if one had to memorize a certain causal chain in a deterministic tree to ensure victory at all ...
March 14, 2020 at 03:55
Winning strategies is something that can only exist for participants of a deterministic game where mistakes can be made. Once you have a super-rationa...
March 14, 2020 at 02:38
Are you trying to point out that natural advantageous positions exist? Yeah, sure. But, even in chess, where white get's the first move, or utilizes t...

I understand that the majority of news outlets are actually not broadcasting the fact that Bernie is ahead. Something related to this is how juxtapose...
March 14, 2020 at 01:39
I haven't seen his name mentioned much over at CNN, even MSNBC, or Fox. Have you?
March 13, 2020 at 20:45
Why not? Oh, like chess? Have you played chess against a computer? Why don't you test it out. Set a chess engine like Rybka, against Shredder, or Rybk...
March 13, 2020 at 17:18
Just so we're clear. I think, the world would be a happier place if Bernie doesn't get elected. So, the cat is out of the bag, the dice are loaded, ot...

If you can't see why this is bad, then you don't need to vote at all.
March 13, 2020 at 05:14
Let's get the facts straight. Texas, and some other shithole states got tallied up the same night the votes were cast away. California got sidefucked ...
March 13, 2020 at 05:10
The fact that you *just* googled it is sufficient proof to my sentiment. Anyways the point seems to be that Biden won Super Tuesday and not Bernie, de...
March 13, 2020 at 04:53
Please don't try and cajole me into docilness. You can do that all you want. When official elections are handled, and this is by no means any differen...
March 13, 2020 at 04:35
And, I don't even care at this point if Bernie looses. It's guaranteed with how this primary vote has been handled from my perspective. I mean, if I w...
March 13, 2020 at 04:30
I don't buy into this mail in absentee "reason". All votes don't have to be tallied up, even if absentee votes constituted 51% of all total cast votes...
March 13, 2020 at 04:28
I actually came it up by myself as incredible as that sounds. I reached out to some mathematician friends to do a 3D analysis if possible. Would you b...
March 13, 2020 at 03:37
Yeah. I'm not quite sure if the point can be made with algorithms with infinite prior elasticity, manifesting in decisions that are strategically abso...
March 13, 2020 at 02:33
Game theory is pretty evil stuff in my opinion.
March 13, 2020 at 01:41
Given a sufficiently long enough interval to analyze all the potential iterations of a game, then a human being would become no different than a hyper...
March 13, 2020 at 00:53
The larger truth here is that game theory, ought and should not be applied to reality, which indicates a disdain towards strategic outcomes derived fr...
March 13, 2020 at 00:26
I'm crying inside.
March 13, 2020 at 00:19
I am honestly, sad, dismayed, and depressed over what has happened to Russia. It's not like Russia ain't the most beautiful, largest, and most promisi...

Just so that were clear, I do have a mental illness. It is almost unbearable to think nowadays. I never imposed it on anyone to solve my issues and ne...

I don't take you seriously, at all. Keep on trying manus.
March 11, 2020 at 19:42
Since, He is an anti-realist, nothing he says should be taken seriously. He can keep His false sense of superiority.
March 11, 2020 at 13:03
Yes, I used to be wallows. It is sad, yes? I feel sorry for Shawn being Wallows, and Wallows being Shawn.
March 11, 2020 at 11:39
I'm not your therapist.
March 11, 2020 at 10:14
Ok, then. I'll go publish my ideas somewhere else until someone takes it seriously.

I think that deep down, most if not all Americans desire to feel free from fear.

The natural follow up here, seems to be the lack of existing threat. In a nation that prioritizes the need for force and power over other issues, ther...

Uhh, I'd advise you to invest in the company. I mean, 42 percent is really insane. Just make sure to kiss ass and maintain your position by claiming t...
March 10, 2020 at 03:15
More like, do I have the balls to do it? Heh.

Jamaica?
March 09, 2020 at 23:12
That doesn't make us condemned or dammed into some self created place of suffering. You don't like Coronovirus? I say move to some Island State, like ...
March 09, 2020 at 22:57
Not really. We can learn from past mistakes. And, Coronovirus ain't the Spanish flu or the plague.
March 09, 2020 at 22:38
You'd think we'd get over our animalistic tendencies, ya? Why is it taking so long?
March 09, 2020 at 22:35
Yes, it is wrong. I stand corrected, people still die from this disease... Yet, the point still remains, is the market reaction rational or irrational...
March 09, 2020 at 22:22
Not to come off as a totally psychopathic dick asshole, but millions of people will simply not die from Coronovirus. I believe the death toll is 3.5k,...
March 09, 2020 at 22:17
I wish I could say the same. But, all I'm saying is that the fear and paranoia are unjustified...
March 09, 2020 at 22:09
Stop scaring the children.
March 09, 2020 at 22:08
It's all been self inflicted my man. But, I'm playing it safe from now on.
March 09, 2020 at 22:01
I don't want anyone to take responsibility over a nutcase anymore. One visit in a psych ward in a shitty neighborhood was more than enough to break me...
March 09, 2020 at 21:59
You don't need to eliminate the cold to reduce the lethality of Coronovirus, do you? And, here's a tip... Take a vacation after the dust settles to so...

And, what about lazy questions are so bad? You mods need to loosen up or something before Michael goes bonkers again...
