I noticed that comments and replies have gotten more expensive. From 1 to 16 sats.

Doesn't that just depend on the territory?

I think so, but happened in many

Perhaps todays most downzapped Iran war post-

@koob how does the downzap halflife work?

Is it as I understood it and I thought you had declared, that downzap weighting is halved every four hours?

reply

@koob I believe you previously explained that downzaps have a half-life of 4 hours whereby their weighting halves every 4 hours.

Is this still correct?

I ask because it does not seem to apply to this post-

#1483584

Have I misunderstood the mechanism of how downzaps work and degrade over time?

reply

Both zaps and downzaps have a half-life...

reply

Yes but that would not explain the LIT ranking behavior of the above post.
It was downzapped 5000 at least 24 hours before I boosted it approximately 3500 this morning (about 2 hours ago) but it is still not visible.
If downzaps have a 4 hour half life then that 5000 downzap at least 24 hours ago should now only weigh ~ 5000/2x2x2x2x2x2(64)=78.125
Nothing like that appears to have happened.
3500 boost 24 hours after the 5000 downzap has not removed the downzap downranking.
Why?
Can @koob please explain what is the true and correct process of downzap (and upzap) half lives?

Downzaps are ~3x as powerful for influencing ranking as an equivalent amount sats upzapped or boosted
reply

I believe that was the case but was changed several months ago to equal weighting.

@koob can confirm this or may simply refuse to reply as he is doing repeatedly on this question.

Even if they are still 3x as powerful that would not account for the non showing of the post after more than 24 hours since the downzap and a subsequent boost of ~3500.

Excellent last episode of the new Star Wars series - Maul.
Fight between Darth Vader vs Maul vs other 2 jedis. Impressive power he have.

reply

How much longer are they going to milk this Darth Vader cow? Honest question, he's the poster boy for the whole universe, but you don't always need him for it to be SW. Andor doesn't mention or show him at all and it's one of the best series in this universe, just like the first seasons of Mandalorian. There's only so much you can squeeze out of this character before it becomes "oh look, Darth Vader, who would've thought."

Do you think this show is as good as Andor?

reply

naaah, is totally different thing.
Is just an animated series. maybe kids will like it more.
I like to watch SW sagas, even that are animated, to see if they slip some interesting story or details.
For example this episode, I was really surprised to see they inntroduce Darth Vader into the story. I was expecting to be only a Maul vs Darth Sidious / Inquisitors plot. But now with Darth Vader it's all changed.

Here is a nice review

Multiple wrong guesses and a paid focus boost have more than doubled the starting pot of the current round!

Only 500 sats to make a guess on the round. You could 9x your sats!

Don't forget you can use a focus boost to see the image a little clearer.

100 days to PSLE Oral

But Sensei still has the situation under control.

“I need to intensify my efforts!” I announced fervently, stifling my groan. I would have to find a chance to explain to these students the difference between amplify and intensify. But that was another problem for another day.

Got a glorious total of four people to read aloud. What was commendable about my effort was that I discovered that a particular student had trouble reading long and unfamiliar words.

Promptly sent out an authentic oral passage the moment I reached home. Noted that this student wasn’t confident about pronouncing “punctuality”. Made a mental note to myself to expose this student to more words that end with -lity. ‘Volatility’ comes to mind.

It’s gonna be a bitter struggle and exhilarating ride towards the finishing line.

The possibility to improve a student's ability to be more confident in their capability to pronounce words ending in -lity, not only once, but with a reproducibility that seeks its equal... well, that should certainly help your credibility at fulfilling such a mission with the responsibility it demands in your and any other locality.
