Unironically I think this meme is really good for explaining why maths formalisms and notation are so valuable, even when they seem cumbersome/convoluted. It's an incredibly precise way to describe the interaction of a lot of related-but-meaningfully-distinct concepts, and this is a great showcase of that, thank you Lynn Chordbug you're the best.

Since this has come up a number of times, I think it's time I finally made an explainer for the Monty Hall problem that I can link to in the future. Especially because there's been a bunch of answers that are almost correct, but if you try to apply the same reasoning to other problems, like the frog problem, they'll give you the wrong answer. See, normally if you go pick one of two doors, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But the Monty Hall Problem is a statistical freak and its not normal. So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat it. Then you add the goat to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way at Let's Make a Deal, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because the goat KNOWS he can't beat me and he's not even gonna try! So, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus my 25% chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning at Let's Make a Deal. But then you take my 75% chance of winning, if we was to go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, I got 141 2/3 chance of winning at Let's Make a Deal. See, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at Let's Make a Deal.

i'm thinking a lot about "muscle memory" today....

when i was little i played a ton of sports, almost all of them... i'd measure where i was in the year based on what sports league i was in at the time. i especially loved baseball, i'd constantly be practicing my swing, catch, crow hop into long throws with my granddad. he died in 7th grade and i stopped playing baseball, puberty happened the year after and i stopped playing all sports. there was a "gap" now between me and my body that i never had before. my heart would start pounding fielding routine ground balls or pop ups that never stressed me out before, and i'd flinch away from them. i didn't have confidence that "my" body would move how i wanted it to anymore, and i no longer really cared to make it.

but like, i can feel all the movements still In There... almost 25 years (!) since and i can still imagine how to hold the bat, how to position my weight back foot heavy front foot light, drive forward with the swing torque around into the rotation, i can close my eyes and feel myself doing it. it's a strange feeling, like the skill belongs to someone else but he stashed it inside my muscles, so now i can do it to...and as i've been re-discovering that i like using my body in this way, all these motions he practiced are there for me, ready to use. it's weird what sticks with you!
