Reach heaven through research consulting

When running an RCT on yourself, you still get half the benefit in expectation¹, but you also get the value of information, so it should be surprisingly cheap

¹: at least, more if placebo effect applies

@rime
Oh yeah the perils of "trivial"… 😁

@rime I think most Nash equilibria are mixed equilibria? So it makes sense to randomize (relation to augury is obvious I reckon)

Interestingly, nearly all games have an odd number of Nash equilibria! I find that very curious

@rime i have some here: http://niplav.site/language.html#22s_23s_and_more

@Paradox yep, it comes down to "how much do women actually need touch"

Good point on assertiveness! Hadn't considered it.

@rime my thinking was about the coordination hard/attack favored quadrant

Not sure about stochastic solutions, but I think I was assuming these are already incorporated?

@rime yeah, I think the term's mine :-)

The associations seem right

Is "chatbots are mostly used by women" good or bad for daygame?

This toot was written on the unceded lands of the usenettites

Oh look this alread, exists

@alea probably nah, but I know barely any of it

It's mostly kinda cute I guess?

Thoughts had while thinking about the dynamics of Omohundro sludge, where there's meta-dynamics of trying to outwit on higher orders all the time, while keeping in mind all the lower orders of the game

Also related to fix-point solutions for regress problems

Transfinite-order differential equations

Might sometimes result in differential equations on smooth functions where one can take the infinitieth derivative of a function

Differential equations where one variable also determines which derivative of a function is used

f^{(k)}(x) = log_{x}(k)

Using fractional calculus of course

I wonder what the simulators think about my recent life decisions
