What do you mean by true randomness?

When I think true randomness I think of there being no logic to it.

With math, basically being logic, I'd think not.

Huh, that's a lot more difficult a question to answer than I imagined. No method of predicting an outcome based on any form of algorithm? I swear there was a distinct difference to unpredictability that I came up with before...

Now that you mention it, wouldn't a simplification be "events occur without any causation?"

Hmmm...

I used to think so, but then I read about the gameshow question with 3 doors (like off of 21) and realized you can actually use data from random outcomes to predict future outcomes...

The situation in that case is just a faulty categorization of randomness. It's not a random scenario in the first place. To avoid falling into that kind of thing you have to recognize that you're being presented more information about the problem and reevaluate your odds.

... I get the feeling I'm not explaining this correctly. Whenever I try to explain that darn problem in any form my brain just decides to exit my skull and drown itself in a lake or something.

Serious / True randomness: Does it exist?

T4R

Dusty's thread got me thinking about the subject again. I recall Turkey bringing it up a while ago, and I then dismissed it [and agreed with him] by saying that true randomness does exist. At this time I was a monumental moron, so I was conflating true randomness with unpredictability. Soon after I read some of Gregory Chaitin's works and I was convinced of the exact opposite conclusion.

Now that I'm rethinking all of this, I'm genuinely undecided. Whaddaya think? Does true randomness [distinct from unpredictabilitychaos, remember!] exist from a mathematical POV?

It's being added in December.

Is there a date yet or just "December"?
Oh gosh... December 12th I think they said?

Good enough for me. I'm having a blast in Halo CE anyways. No one knows what they're doing, they all start with a pistol but never use it...


I noticed no one ever grabs the power ups either
This is what Reach and 4 did to the community. I want to cut myself now.
Newer fans who never got a chance to play classic Halo gameplay!? What heretical blasphemy is this!?
Explains why everyone was too easy too kill when playing Halo: Anniversary on 360
CEA on the 360 has Reach MP.
Not in classic matches fgt
wat?
CEA on the 360 uses Reach's MP.
But, classic playlist use Halo 1's MP while using Halo Reachs engine
It uses a buffed Reach magnum. That's it.
:/....I need proof
Why? It uses Reach's magnum, but it's buffed.
They didn't pull CE's magnum from CE and put it in Reach.
Y u do dis to mei Lemön?   :'(
They also made melee suck dick by having it 3 punch to kill.

But 3 punch to kill without lunge would be the best melee.

Better not do that to your milk.

So, are they bags because Canadians will never understand that boobs aren't like bags of milk?

Actually never mind, I remember having some self doubts about the concept [of true randomness] a while back. Not sure where I am right now with newfound math knowledge.

I hate how companies have been doing this for a while now.

They decrease the amount of food, increase the price and keep the same packaging to deceive everyone.

They're called Walkers, fgt.
Shouldn't you be bitching about them being "crisps" Britbong? Or have you accepted our superior words at last?

Could you be any more of a fat American?

Hey none of you guys have the superior form of milk packaging, nor do you have poutine

I'm dumd today. I should probably get this reference but I'm drawing blanks.
I think it's called the Cave Analogy, it's supposed to represent how people start out as manipulable non-thinking sheep and eventually become enlightened as they step out of the cave.

I only know this crap because I'm taking philosophy right now.

Nice! I thought you were gonna do something related to neuroscience or somethin' though? Or are you just taking it on the side?

Indeed. You've gotta be selective with your Plato so as to avoid Verbatim-isms.

Gaming / Re: New Halo 5 Beta Gametype
« on: November 16, 2014, 05:49:31 PM »
Why is everyone comparing this to S&D?

There's not even an objective. I'd compare it more to Gears' slayer mode considering the lead MP designer on Halo 5 was lead MP designer at Epic.

You mean Team Deathmatch.

Except there's no 15 lives to share across the team..
Regardless, why does everyone look towards CoD? Was it not Counter Strike that popularized the one life gametype?

Oh man I haven't played CS in soooo long
