  • hold on there, it actually does have strategic advantage from a statistical perspective.

    the basic notion is that for a probability of event A to occur it is proportional to the area of the event; so if larger area, larger probability, smaller area, smaller probability.

    if we take that idea and apply the same basis to battleship you could say the probability as the sum of each probability of each point which is 0℅ if we span the area to infinity.

    practically speaking, this is not true as you can’t span to an infinite scale, but you could say that the probability of hitting a point is 1℅ since battleship is a 10 x 10 grid so the probability is just 1/(10 * 10) = 0.01. Then the probability gets more complicated since you are being asked what is the probability of the second, third, fourth, etc… point being hit given that initial probability. the probability grows dependent on the first point being hit.









  • yes, and I couldn’t really care what it was intended to be used for. clearly I could still use it as a WiFi utility posts installation.

    As per the arch wiki it says “iwd is a wireless dameon for Linux written by Intel.” “The core goal of the project is to optimize resources utilization by not depending on external libraries.”

    the point of why I’m using it is for that exact reason. it does the same thing every other WiFi GUI/TUI out there. unless there is a vulnerability/security risk of using iwd, I couldn’t really care less about the other options, even if that means manually configuring enterprise and public networks.
