𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern 20h (At least when commercial publishers offer "manuscript editing" services, presumably as pay-for-play for non-ESL/Third World paper churners & mills, it mostly just seems like it pads garbage journals no one has to read. Putting ad paywalls on notable published papers, though...)1,839211.1%View post activity

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern 20h Did you think it was not possible for commercial academic publisher websites to get worse?

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jun 5 But 4 or 5 no longer add any important mechanics. At 3, you have efficient short matches like 'best of 3'. At 4, the outcomes start overlapping and becoming redundant, without speeding up matches. (Maybe related to base-3/e?)1,865361.9%View post activity

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jun 5 I think it's because 2 forces better/worse, so can require a lot of games to ever approximate equality, but 3 allows better/worse/same outcomes and ties are an important mechanic for games. Otherwise, every encounter requires you to either be perfect, or suffer constant attrition1,916392.0%View post activity

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jun 5 You obviously can't go lower than 2 choices like matching-pennies (1 choice is no choice), but why not 2? Or 4, like rock-paper-scissors-lizard? Or 5? They have surprisingly complicated Nash, too, so they're not boring or trivial: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_pape … . Why way less popular?6017111.8%View post activity

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jun 5 Trying to help my sister at a fighting game in a dream, I explained to her, "like all of them, it's just rock-paper-scissors—high attacks, low attacks, and blocks. RPS is everywhere." "But why is it everywhere‽" she asked. Uh... good question. After all, matching-pennies works6,3943365.3%View post activity

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jun 4 Finally got `gpt-4-base` access and playing around with it feels like coming home—yes, the poetry is way better!

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern Jun 1 Startup culture trains people to do instead of think; this is why podcast interviews are so often the first, last, and best documentation about how a company really was.2,612903.4%View post activity

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern May 31 He was banned in 2012, but it's unclear how many falsehoods were left, whether he was using any other socks or anon IPs, why, what he has spent the past 12 years doing, or how far his claims have been carried by citogenesis or fellow Islamic ideologues (aeon.co/essays/why-fak …).6,66171910.8%View post activity

𝔊𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔫 @gwern May 31 If you ever feel confident about what you 'know' about the Islamic medieval period bc you "just love reading Wikipedia", you may want to know that in 2010, a crazy person spent 2 years falsifying hundreds of claims of Islamic invention, everything from p-n junctions to… twitter.com/Noahpinion/sta …31,4773,0579.7%View post activity
