It had another run in the news following her death last summer.

There's nothing wrong with people TIL today, because she was right then and still is.

An unknown factor is if you even get to make a second try at getting 100% if you already passed with 50% on the first test. If it is possible to redo a passed test, I still find it unlikely that anyone would do so given that they know that they don't know the answers.

Including the edit that you're not told which one was right in the first attempt with a 50% score, it makes a lot more sense to accept the first 50% pass. Choosing different answers for the second try would only give the maximum score of 50% again, while choosing completely random answers again would only give the same chance as the first attempt, in which 0% is still more likely than 100%

Similarly, if you do get 100% on the first attempt, why'd you want to try again.. a lot of the answers here calculate the overall statistics when using both attempts regardless.

GPT-4 is a language model, and while it was an interesting take, it appears to be the wrong tool for the job.

The answer is wrong and without any documentation or proof showing the line of thought to determine the result it's just a useless number.

Math is not really about the result. It is about understanding the process. Having an AI do that is completely against the purpose of asking this kind of questions in the first place. OP doesn't need to know if the chance is 68% or 75%, but rather how to figure it out.

You only accounted for the situations with one correct answer in the case where it is the first question.

I can see it working to filter out incompatible partners.

Attraction.. maybe for someone looking for a certain kind of partner.

I'm not exactly sure where, how or why people would join Threads, but if it's going to be part of the fediverse I wouldn't be all against it.

I probably wouldn't join it, but I think it would be better for the Meta-users to be exposed to the internet outside of the environment controlled by Meta.

There's a reason why everyone is angry on Facebook. Hint: It isn't that everyone is angry. It's because "engagement" is encouraged.

If they were exposed to a place where people could choose more freely to engage with anger, they'd be surprised with how little people actually respond to shit/rant postings. It's perfectly fine to rant and shitpost, but the fediverse definitely shows that there is more to the internet than that. I won't mind giving it a shot at showing them. (As long as I can block the entire thing at any time I want.)

You can be whatever you want, but a scientist and an entrepreneur have very different goals. It's difficult to do both equally. Nevermind seriousness, it's actually the objectives that are too different for time to prioritized in an optimal way. To do either right they each require full time attention.

Instead of halfassing both, I'd suggest studying science and then hiring people to make a business of it. That makes a lot more sense than an entrepreneur hiring a scientist - which is also possible, but requires more trust and capital than anyone should have.

No. That's a wrong take.

While Communism is a centralisation of power, it is also decentralisating the decision of what the power does.

Ideally, Communism is like a democratic monopoly. However, in reality, communism has been abused to create a non-democratic monopoly. This is unfortunately very much like what capitalstic non-democratic monopolies do too - albeit more slowly.

Lemmy, like other fediverse projects, is not challenging the democratic or non-democratic part of it. It's challenging the monopoly part.

If we spread out the functional part of systems, nobody will be able to create a monopoly of power, neither through communism, capitalism nor democracy. This is because the power is not centralised at all.

It's not anarchy or chaos though, because each party is capable of embracing or rejecting any other parties, based on their own choice of government. People who run fediverse servers can choose by votes or not which other parties to include or not. Some servers are democratic, others are not. Some might be communist, others might be fascists, but they're not a meaningful power without users, so it'll inevitably be up to the users to decide.

I'd like that to be an acceptable autoreply to all the mails from my boss.

When my kid was a toddler we were standing in a street and she suddenly pointed at a group of people that looked like Pakistanis or Indians or thereabouts and asked loudly "Why do those people have dark skin?"

The entire street stopped and looked at us just waiting for my answer.

That wasn't the time to go into long explanations about immigration, adoption, skin pigmentation or UV radiation.

I answered loud and clear "That's because their parents had dark skin".

Everyone shrugged and continued their business, but I'd like to think that my simple answer was a lesson for all the people who were ready to get offended from either a racist answer or from an overly political correct answer.

Some things don't need to be difficult.
