    For conversations I need to have, I rehearse in my head and mutter quips to myself to prepare myself for all contingencies.

    This isn’t so I will say these words to the person, but more that I’m convincing myself and arming my mouth when my brain wanders off as it is wont to do.

    On the actual day, I drink a soothing tea and don’t say anything unless the uncomfortable topic is brought up. If people clock onto my calm confidence, they usually don’t instigate.

    I’ve learned from early on that people prey only on those they perceive weak, but to pre-emptively strike is to invite ruin. So I prepare and stay quiet.

    Beer would ruin that planning as I am a lightweight

    Which language provides the most random alphabetically sorted sequence?

    Data
    |  N | Eng | Dut | Ger | Tur | Chi | Lex |
|----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----|
|  1 |   8 |   8 |   8 |   6 |   8 |   1 |
|  2 |  11 |   3 |   3 |   5 |   2 |  10 |
|  3 |   5 |   1 |   1 |   1 |   9 |  11 |
|  4 |   4 |  11 |  11 |   9 |   6 |  12 |
|  5 |   9 |   9 |   5 |   4 |   3 |   2 |
|  6 |   1 |  10 |   9 |   2 |   4 |   3 |
|  7 |   7 |  12 |   6 |  10 |   7 |   4 |
|  8 |   6 |   2 |   7 |  11 |  10 |   5 |
|  9 |  10 |   4 |   4 |  12 |  12 |   6 |
| 10 |   3 |   5 |  10 |   8 |  11 |   7 |
| 11 |  12 |   6 |   2 |   3 |   5 |   8 |
| 12 |   2 |   7 |  12 |   7 |   1 |   9 |

    Sourced from comments in thread (English from image, Dutch from !Vinny_93@lemmy.world, German from !TJA@sh.itjust.works , Turkish from some rando, Chinese from !idealotus@lemmy.world, Lexicographical from !monogram@feddit.nl)

    Plot with Correlation Scores

    We will compute the pearson correlation (r-statistic) score by comparing the base number (column 1) with the corresponding language column. We will also compute the Serial correlation, by creating staggered columns that measure how close a number is in a sequence to the one before it.

    Staggered Table 
    cat alphabetic.tab \
    | awk '{print $0"\t"prE"\t"prD"\t"prG"\t"prT"\t"prC"\t"prL;prE=$2;prD=$3;prG=$4;prT=$5;prC=$6;prL=$7}' \
    | tee alphabetic.tab.stagger
    Plot Code 
    gnuplot -p -e '
  set xlabel "Base Sequence";
  set ylabel "Alphabetic";
  set xtics 1,1,12;
  set ytics 1,1,12;
  set title "Alphabetic Number Plot with Correlation Score";
  set rmargin 25; set key at graph 1.5,0.9;
  set size ratio 0.45;

  stats "alphabetic.tab.stagger" using 1:2 name "E";
  stats "" using 1:3 name "D";
  stats "" using 1:4 name "G";
  stats "" using 1:5 name "T";
  stats "" using 1:6 name "C";
  stats "" using 1:7 name "L";
  
  stats "" using 2:8 name "ES";
  stats "" using 3:9 name "DS";
  stats "" using 4:10 name "GS";
  stats "" using 5:11 name "TS";
  stats "" using 6:12 name "CS";
  stats "" using 7:13 name "LS";

  set label 1 sprintf("%10s  %6s  %6s", "", "Base", "Stagger") at graph 1.07,0.95;

  plot "" using 1:2 with lines lw 3 title sprintf("%10s  %+.3f  %+.3f", "English", E_correlation, ES_correlation),
       "" using 1:3 with lines lw 3 title sprintf("%10s  %+.3f  %+.3f", "Dutch", D_correlation, DS_correlation),
       "" using 1:4 with lines lw 3 title sprintf("%10s  %+.3f  %+.3f", "German", G_correlation, GS_correlation),
       "" using 1:5 with lines lw 3 title sprintf("%10s  %+.3f  %+.3f", "Turkish", T_correlation, TS_correlation),
       "" using 1:6 with lines lw 3 title sprintf("%10s  %+.3f  %+.3f", "Chinese", C_correlation, CS_correlation),
       "" using 1:7 with lines lw 1 title sprintf("%10s  %+.3f  %+.3f", "Lexicon", L_correlation, LS_correlation)
'

    It looks like Dutch has the lowest (near 0) correlation to both the base sequence and it’s own staggered sequence, with Turkish mirroring it’s staggered randomness somewhat.

    The least random alphabetic sequences are English and German.

    Updated: Added chinese and staggered analysis.

  • tetris11@lemmy.mltoGaming@lemmy.ml•What is your personal favorite multiplayer game and what is it's fatal flaw?

    Bonk.io, fatal flaw is that the dev simply does not a give a fuck.

    By that I mean:

    • Nazis everywhere, mostly edgelord kids.
      • You just ignore their chat, or compliment them only on their game, and soon they stop with the toxic chatter or leave the room.
    • Script mods that expose parts of the game
      • Could be easily mitigated, but everyone has them.
      • It’s not cheating, you can just see more.
    • Sometimes a hardcore hentai image appears on the welcome screen.
      • 1/500 occurence.
      • Rare enough that you’re not sure it happened.
    • No mobile support, despite hardware.not being an issue.
      • Just needs a virtual controller stick

    Such a great game otherwise

    Anne with an E was a surprise favourite of mine. I mostly just resonated with the stiff/gruff characters being totally undone by a loud mouthed girl with a heart of gold and a strong sense of justice. It kind of speaks to the idea that most people are shaped by their hard and tragic lives, but are only a few steps away from being good to one another if shown how.

    I also like the unbeatable spirit of the main protagonist who somehow does not let the world get them down, rises to every challenge with spunky defiance, makes friends of their enemies, and sports orange. If Naruto and Anne of Green Gables ever met on the battlefield, I’m not sure who would be left standing.
