I mean, the sub had reached Titanic several times, right?

So even without the design documents, we know it was previously capable of operating at depth.

Which we means we know the hull wasn’t made of cotton candy, we know it wasn’t propelled under water by an internal combustion engine, and we know it wasn’t controlled by a device that stops working in water.

We know for a fact that wifi signal was not supposed to travel through the water, because the sub successfully reached Titanic several times before it was destroyed.

If someone had designed the sub in the bizarre way that you suggested, then it would never have completed a single mission.

I think it’s pretty simple.

  • Wagner and the Russian Army are competing for increasingly limited supplies in Ukraine.

  • This led Prigozhin to complain publicly about the Russian Ministry of Defense.

  • In response, Putin was planning to subordinate Wagner to the Russian Army.

Subordination would limit Prigozhin’s power and also reduce or eliminate his personal source of income. Which basically forced the events playing out today.

Whatever that rule is, I bet the mods at /r/interestingasfuck are ready to enforce it.

If you are a simulation, then your choice doesn’t matter. You will never get any real benefit from the boxes. It’s like saying, “there is also a finite possibility that the machine is lying and all the boxes are empty”. In which case, the choice is again irrelevant.

Situations in which your choice doesn’t matter are not worth considering. Only the remaining possibility, that you are not a simulation and the machine is not lying, is worth considering.

But if it’s true that the machine can perfectly predict what you will choose, then by definition your choice will be the same its prediction. In which case, you should choose one box.

Regardless of whether the machine is right, if you don’t believe it can perfectly predict what you’ll do then taking both boxes is always better than just one.

If you want to command something in the water, you run a wire from that something to a receiver in the cabin.
