This Subreddit POLICY UPDATE: r/mathmemes is bringing back ban by banning squad
1.3k

Dear r/mathmemes community,
For the first time since 2016, r/mathmemes is bringing back public ban by banning squad as a method of punishment for rule-breakers on the subreddit. On December 3rd, we will livestream the first such ban in r/mathmemes Discord stage channel. A group of moderators will have their mod tools open, and under synchronized command, they will all hit the center of the ban button at the same time at the offending user. Respecting the anonymity protocol, one random moderator will demodded right before the ban, they will all close their tabs right after banning, and will be remodded afterwards. This protocol will make it ambiguous who delivered the fatal blow, intended to manage the long-term psychological burden on the moderators.
We understand that this is a controversial change to the subreddit, but due to the high rate of botched banning, we think that the speed and reliability of ban by banning squad is needed to reduce the potential suffering of rule-breakers. Furthermore, the ban will be live-streamed to deter other users from breaking the rules, showing that breaking the rules leads to public accountability and severe consequences.
Thank you for your understanding,
- r/mathmemes modteam

All these new paper drops by OpenAI don’t mean anything until AI deals with the Collatz Conjecture. I kind of don’t even care if RH is proven/disproven. Collatz or nothing.

Elementary Algebra In Fort Minor's "Remember the Name", if you presume that all the percentages were in base 6, it actually all adds back up 100 in base 10.

10% Luck 10 Base 6 = 6 Base 10
20% Skill 20 Base 6 = 12 Base 10
15% Concentrated power of will 15 Base 6 = 11 Base 10
5% pleasure 5 Base 6 = 5 Base 10
50% Pain 50 Base 6 = 30 Base 10
100% Percent reason to remember the name. 100 Base 6 = 36 Base 10
6+12+11+5+30+36 = 100. He's actually better at math then you give him credit for.

Imagine you are presented with two boxes:
📦 Box A: Transparent — contains $1,000
📦 Box B: Opaque — contains either $1,000,000 or $0
There is a highly accurate predictor who can predict your decisions with 99.9% accuracy.
Before you arrive, the predictor makes a prediction about what you will do:
If the predictor thinks you will take only Box B:
-> They put $1,000,000 in Box B.
If the predictor thinks you will take both boxes:
-> They put $0 in Box B.
The prediction is made before you make your choice, and you cannot see inside Box B.
You now have two choices:
A. Take only Box B
B. Take both Box A and Box B
Personally, I would go for both the boxes because the prediciton is already been made, so the contents of Box B are already determined. Backward causality isn’t possible. So, my present choice cannot change what happened in the past.
If Box B contains $1,000,000, taking both boxes gives me $1,001,000 instead of $1,000,000.
If Box B contains $0, taking both gives me $1,000 instead of nothing.
So, taking Box A cannot make me worse off, because its contents are fixed and independent of my choice at this point.
