Has Diablo Failed Us?
  failsafe, Apr 06 2017

So I've been practicing Zen meditation now for 7 years and have gotten to the point where nothing can die without negatively affecting me. My average day is running something like -30BB/100 as science. I've gotten so far into it with Thai masters that literally nothing can wrong in the universe without it making my life more challenging. It's impossible to turn a blind eye to anything. I've been in such bad straits for so long now that the Chinese have literally sent Shaolin to my town to instruct me in "not being so bad".

But what I've learned from this is that even if you can have a 10:1 KDA average in DotA2 and not be able to get above 800 MMR (without overdosing on drugs), real life is surprisingly easy. The last time I overdosed on drugs I did die or something and ascend into heaven and was above 800 MMR but was reset when I was res'd by the Shaolin, and am below 700 MMR again.

But living a healthy IRL is really easy. Sure to be GM in anything takes work and practice, talent and motivation, and so on. But even high Diamond league SC2 equivalent is well than more than enough to live a super healthy life.

Probably 50-100 hours of knowledge and 1000-2000 hours of practice can make us super healthy individuals with just aerobic and anaerobic training. It's ultimately cheaper and possibly easier to eat healthy, get plenty of rest, and then train for an hour or two five days a week.

Interesting almost every Starcraft player, DotA player, etc. ever has put in 50-100 hours of knowledge and 1000-2000 of practice, which would be like the equivalent of high GM in most health concerns.

So it seems like high diamond Starcraft II or DotA 2000~3000 MMR is more than enough to be a hometown high GM or national mid GM in fitness. Of course I've also done karate, and I think most people would be satisfied with a black belt, which probably does not take more than 500 hours maximum (unless you are really hardcore). I don't know how much time I really put into my black belt in TKD but I think it was probably not as much as 2k hours.

But I've got 2k hours on my dota account, and am still < 700 MMR, which shows that dota is really hard compared to IRL.

But yeah, my IRL human is doing pretty well. I've written a book at around ~70k words somewhat unedited, created a video game at probably an hour or so playable time, but quite sophisticated.

My IRL human has recovered from schizophrenia, psychosis, anxiety, phobias, different health concerns and is almost completely grade A again except for a pinched nerve in the neck.

But what I've noticed is Diablo has failed us. Whether you're blind or not, high level Starcraft is accessible to you. Whether you're psychologically inept or not, mathematical poker still beats microstakes, whether you have bad luck or not, you can succeed in most games of luck, possibly even become infinite in hearthstone with practice.

But it seems Diablo is truly the most difficult game of all time. I cannot find any other way to power up in Diablo other than patience and grinding and running rifts. Since I am running -30BB/100 or so in all things thanks to the years of zazen, I cannot seem to find items, power up my character with sets, or anything like that. I always roll the wrong sets, wrong characters for seasonal items, wrong uniques, wrong ancients, legendaries, sets, and so on.

Despite it being my ultimate and final goal of all time, it seems I just cannot get on the top of the Diablo III ladder, and it proves to me this is the most difficult thing ever.

Raven Paradox
  failsafe, Sep 24 2016

As related to my comment regarding "into infinity."

1. All Ravens are black
2. Therefore everything that is not black is not a Raven

This seems intuitive.

To be not-Black means you are not a Raven.

Why is this a problem? It is not.

It is a mode of perception we are commenting on. We suppose probability statements are non-infinite (they are not generative process).

There is no point supposing the sighting of green apple increases the probability of anything other than green apples.

Either we do not understand green apples or we do not understand black ravens.

There is no paradox.

Rational Suicide
  failsafe, Sep 11 2016

There is a bunch of stuff I want to do after I die. I don't want to sit around for eternity telling stories about my impending death. Wouldn't it be great

EU(afterlife) > EU(life) the afterlife provides happiness I could just randomly die

All my problems could be solved the humour of my impending death "wouldn't it be great if failsafe died before/after X"

Complexity Math
  failsafe, Sep 06 2016

As you know there are -? to ? R numbers. Therefore there are 2? R numbers and density of R is interval-identical. Then there is ? R numbers between [0,1].

R is the real numbers of course.

So then we are dealing with a simple construction that everyone understands:

±(... _ _ . _ _ ...)

And we just fill in the blanks with numbers: 0, 1, 2, ..., 9

But which numbers come up with most? There are obviously one of each number so it is just a question of selection.

Notice however that . denotes a property of revolving around 0, and could be just as well:

±(..._ _ 0 _ _...)

Isn't that frightening lOL.

House of the Scorpion
  failsafe, Sep 04 2016

http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=l...44b379cdd0e7c3o0&mode=overlay&first=1

There is a bigger map in the second novel.

What I was wondering after reading this series, where you can see that the United States government and the government of Mexico (Aztlan) have sanctioned a small strip of land for nations ranging from: Ecstasy, Hash, Opium, and Cocaine to Ketamine is why online poker is not more popular because it is illegal. Is it this hard to run online illegal that we cannot run online illegal like offline illegal.

There is still a big market for drugs offline not online but we can't run the drug market online and it seems we can't run the poker market online. Why if poker is illegal is it not more popular

Legendary
  failsafe, Aug 23 2016

Anyone else interested in Legendary products?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01..._aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm considering purchasing these for my swimsuit collection. I primarily only wear swim suits and typically can't afford anything shorter. The strings on this suit are pretty unusual for Legendary so I'm not sure if I'll go through with these.

If I could thin out I'd go with these:

Anyone else have trouble slimming down or is everyone on the karate buzz

good bye chenafren
  failsafe, Aug 19 2016

despite the good times together i knew it was over when you double unfriended me on facebook. the new sulu who will be replacing you is a dead mandarin worth more than 10.. he is a superior sulu reminiscent of georg takei. i expect superior results from a superior sulu. so, good bye, old buddy. you will be missed and commemorated.

no one has ever given me better than 15:1 odds on preflop hold 'em shoves and i think you were good for it. you're lucky.

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/94012710948759072/

i think it's highly unlikely that you would get pocket rockets each time you shoved against me, and i was pretty disappointed being knocked out of the tournament by aces.

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/542261611366931804/

it was cool that heist that we had put together to pull off. i wish we'd gone through with it now.

if only online poker wasn't illegal damn black Friday.

i think a lot of people still look up to you based on your results and i don't think that's being a misguided player. you're a great guy, and you still look sharp.

truth be told i don't think anyone else could do risk management for Dalai Lama XIV but looks like he'll be retiring pretty soon and it sounds like it's for good. sorry you never got your opium

fk
  failsafe, Jul 02 2016

so i had this dream where like usual i was losing pretty bad at NLHE. this is pretty normal for anyone like me who plays at around 500BB/100 below expectation luck-wise. (one of the major reasons i went back to starcraft).

anyway in the dream they shut down the table and all the other players were watching while this heads up elimination only competition between myself and one other guy. it was pretty weird at first to be sitting 9 handed while getting isolated against this to-be-knocked out fish.

so the fish is sitting at like 22BBs and I cover him by probably 20x, 30x times probably with around 600BBs though I hadn't been thinking too much of it in the dream.

Then at this point we play like two hands, and I'm forced to auto-fold KK prior to pre-flop. apparently because i led the fish 30x i wasn't allowed to play any hand that ordinarily was better than 70% against his range.

so then the third hand that the fish and i are isolated playing HU the fucking guy says alright I'm done and throws in this special chip as the flop hits. the special chip is a 1k:1 raise so in other words he covered me for that hand and that hand only. i guess it was like a suicidal raise that he could only perform once when he went all-in.

anyway it was fucking bullshit and i was nearly across the table to slam the fish's face into the rails when suddenly i woke up.

I've been anxiety-ridden and nervous for the past 6 hours and probably taking more stuff to calm down. i keep seeing this fucking image of the damned fish:

yah nice matrix bro
  failsafe, Mar 08 2016



yea sick matrix charles.





wait sorry i forgot to mention it could possibly go slightly faster than what you're currently experiencing at this particular moment in the history of the planet earth.

"Developed by a joint research team from French telecoms company Alcatel-Lucent and BT, the magic of this incredible connection isn't in fancy hardware. Instead, it's in a new protocol named Flexigrid that lets you lay multiple signals over the top of each other in a a single cable, which lets data race from point A to point B in parallel. When layered all together, seven 200 Gbps channels form one, mega "Alien Super Channel" that offers the 1.4 Tbps speeds across a 255 miles stretch of fiber that already exists between the BT Tower in London and a BT research campus in Suffolk."

hmm. weird. russia did not make the list.



o rite. russia did not make tha lizt.



ooo i glance bak at da lizt. india not make lizt eitha, ruh roh raggy? (jk)
