This dude included and made two other groups to upload in. That's some 3000 IQ shit

@EnderWin, @Dinkelberg, @Snegerd, @huyhuy14, @chris_dftba—

The upload has been deleted, so now this comment section is just a really lame chatroom.

 

[Mikhail]

so...
how's everybody doing tonight?

 

[Oeconomist]

@Mikhail—

I'm angry and unhappy, because yet another Friday has ended without a particular university press getting the type-setting and whatnot done for one of my articles.

How are you?

 

[justforthelulz]

@Oeconomist

Out of curiosity, do you mind sharing what your article was about?

 

[Oeconomist]

@justforthelulz—

It is about the principles of a logic of uncertainty.

Some Details: What is ordinarily taught in a course on logic is assertoric logic, which only allows for propositions to be discernibly true or discernibly false. Sometimes one is exposed to a modal logic, in which propositions are necessarily true, or necessarily false, or possible. (Modal logic could also be used to describe behaviors that are required, forbidden, or permissible, but that's another story.) In real life, we cannot be certain of most things, but some things that are neither discerned to be true nor discerned to be false are more plausible than others. In those cases, we normally try to use what is typically called “probability”, but would be better called “measures of probability”, which quantifies the plausibility of these propositions. But some very strong assumptions are required for that quantification, and some of those assumptions don't hold-up under ordinary circumstances. Without those assumptions, there are still various rules.

@JKTV—

I was premature in declaring the pseudo-upload to have been removed, but I believe that this comment section will remain even after that happens. EDIT: The pseudo-uploads have now been deleted and, as I thought, this comment sections remains.

There were never any images uploaded. I don't know enough about the internals of MangaDex to know what sort of file, if any, was uploaded; possibly there are only spurious entries in a database.

[Editted to correct an error spotted by justforthelulz.]

Well, for a very simple example, given propositions A, B, C, d, e, and f, if A-given-d is more plausible than B-given-e, and B-given-e is more plausible than C-given-f, then A-given-d is more plausible than C-given-f. Other principles are more complicated, and require a formal apparatus for proper discussion. But it's possible to do such things as arrive at a generalization of Bayes' Theorem.

@Oeconomist

Where did proposition 'g' go? Or did you mean 'd'?

 

[Oeconomist]

@justforthelulz—

*laugh* I meant to type “given propositions A, B, C, d, e, and f”, essentially as you guessed.

 

[EnderWin]

@Oeconomist oh ok...

Now that the chapter itself has been deleted, this thread will fall into a void, inaccessible through regular means, drifting until it is forgotten by all who posted and perused it once upon a time.
