I code stuff. I draw stuff.

If you’re a westerner coming here because you’re arguing with me about something in HK/China/Asia, I forgive you for your misunderstandings.

  • The problem is the ambiguity of the statement. Is it 50% of each species? Or is it 50% of all life as one set?

    If it’s the former case, then sure 3.5b humans and n/2 bacteria gets snapped.

    But if it’s the latter case, we group all 7b and n bacteria into one set and snap half of them. This 50% can consist of 50% humans + 50% bacteria, but there’s also a chance for it to include 0% humans + 100% bacteria. Therefore, the amount of humans snap is a random variable instead of a constant.



  • Say, there exists 2 humans and 98 bacteria. Consider all cells of a human one life.

    50% of ALL life doesn’t care which species the life is, and therefore there’s a chance that 50 bacteria die. The probability of that happening is 98C50 / 100C50 = 98! 50! 50! / (100! 50! 48!) = (50)(49) / ((100)(99)) = 0.247

    For my previous argument, I did not actually do the math. Now that I have done a little bit, the probability seems to converge at 25%

    Obviously, this is based on the interpretation of “all life”. For my interpretation, “all life” includes every life in a single set, and apply the 50% snap to that. For some others however, it may be interpreted as each species in their own set, and the 50% snap is applied on each set individually.












  • Not sure if this fits your need, but if you just want to own the files, maybe try playing locally?

    I don’t have an unlimited data plan, so I use “Gelli” which can download from Jellyfin and play them offline. However, it’s buggy and haven’t been updated in a while, so I’m planning on ditching that, and switch to locally storing the music files.

    I found an Android music player named “Symphony”. It reads directories as album, as well as metadata. Importantly, it also saves the queue for me. I have a self-hosted Nextcloud so I can sync music to my phone. Symphony would read them from the directory.

    Hongkonger moment

    I’m seeing so many posts about the hurricane meanwhile we get hit by multiple typhoons every year.

    For our tropical cyclone hazard system, most people don’t have to work under typhoon warning signal no. 8, but only if it happens before you get to work.

    There used to be a joke about “Lee’s Forcefield”, where the observatory would often NOT put up no. 8 until after the stock market starts for the day, meaning most people have to work.

    Therefore yes, you’re going to work.
