/sfg/ would like to inform everyone here that Boeing would have been first to launch if they didnt outsource the Starliner coding to FUCKING PAJEETS.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/05/21/spacex-boeing-rivalry-launch/

>Boeing, meanwhile, has continued to struggle. Late last year, its test flight without any astronauts onboard its Starliner spacecraft went terribly awry from the moment it reached orbit. The spacecraft’s onboard computers were off by 11 hours, making the autonomous spacecraft think it was in a different part of the mission. Controllers on the ground had trouble communicating with it.
That just so happens to be within the ballpark of the time difference between India and Florida outside of US DST. UTC-5 to UTC+5:30.

>You know of certain principles of rational decision that seem to apply to this game. One is known as "the maximization of subjective expected utility", and states that you should try to maximize the sum of the products of the utility (monetary value) of each distinct possible outcome by the probability of that outcome, given your "move". Since ND's past performance and serious intent seem to bring the probability that he has correctly predicted your choice close to unity, this principle is telling you in no uncertain terms to take only the black box.

>But there is a similar rule, called the "dominance principle", which also seems to apply to your predicament. It states that if, for every possible move (or prediction) of your opponent, there is a single countermove as advantageous to you as any other, and more so in at least one case, then you should make that move. You know that ND has already made his move: there is either $l,000,000 in the black box, or there is nothing. In either case, your eyes tell you unequivocally that there is $1000 in the clear box. You reason that you have nothing to lose, and precisely $1000 to gain, by taking both boxes. The dominance principle merely drapes a veil of reason over what your eyes and instincts have already told you: ($1,001 million or $0.001 million) beats ($l million or $0). Conclusion: take both boxes.

>But this seems to constitute a dilemma. These two principles of rationality, which are supposed to be mutually consistent, are in this case telling you to do opposite things.

you're probably somewhere in a loop around a cortical region e.g. left superior temporal gyrus and sub-cortical processor in that case left amygdala and what you call you "subjective experience" is just a conscious awareness of that cortical/sub-cortical loop and what you think of as an "outside world" is just visual ego-centric information fed to your little conscious loop by the right superior parietal lobule and occipital lobe.

Of course, in the name of rigor, the choice of cardinality mush reflect all thee facets of the setting (sociological, psychological, neurological) so let us look at the concrete of these three, the brain, for our first principles.
The most basic layout of the brain is a three-way-distinction of cerebrum, brain-stem, and cerebellum. Though the brain-stem is responsible for many automatic functions commonly implicit in sociological situations, the actual sociological functionality of the encephalon is in the cerebrum, the surface of which is the cortex, and sub-cortical structures. These structures and cortical regions have been found to correlate with cognitive functionality to the point of a very naturally distinctive typology. Specifically, 1) the cortical L(eft) Superior-Temporal-Gyrus, L Orbitofrontal-Cortex sub-cortical L Amgydala loop, 2) the cortical R(ight) S-T-G, R OBF-C sub-cortical L AMG loop, 3) the cortical L Superior-Parietal-Lobule, L Dorsolateral-Prefrontal-Cortex sub-cortical L Hippocampus loop, 4) The cortical R S-P-L, L DLPFC subcortical L HC loop, 5) the cortical Medial Frontopolar Cortex sub-cortical Basal Ganglia Direct Path loop, 6) the cortical Lateral Frontopolar sub-cortical Basal Ganglia Indirect Path loop, and 7) the cortical Anterior Cingulate Cortex sub-cortical Thalamus meta-loop. The sociological and personality-psychological aspects of the typology are to follow.

OP here back from a night of fucking sluts and whores while you kissless virgins got trolled by this retard.

And if it's not trolling, may God have mercy on his extra chromosomes.

Finally I get the chance to ironically use this meme.

After intense research and study i have came to a conclusion:
If we add 1 to both sides , and divide them by 3, we get :
2/3 + 1 = 0/3 +1
Now multiply them by 3
3 + 1= 3
take 3 away from both sides
=1
answer is 1

Obviously science.

>which do you think requires more intelligence to really get a good understanding of?
Math.
