Simpler hand values for zung jung mahjong

Something that always bothered me with Zung Jung is the scoring table, the values are all over the place. Although I understand that Alan Kwan must have calculated all the correct probabilities to reach each value, still the values chosen perhaps could deviate a bit to be more "regular" and overall simpler.

Pattern Name Points
1.0 Trivial Patterns
1.1 All Sequences 1
1.2 Concealed Hand 1
1.3 No Terminals 1
2.0 One-Suit Patterns
2.1.1 Mixed One-Suit 8
2.1.2 Pure One-Suit 16
2.2 Nine Gates 100
3.0 Honor Tiles
3.1 Value Honor 2 per set
3.2.1 Small Three Dragons 8
3.2.2 Big Three Dragons 24
3.3.1 Small Three Winds 6
3.3.2 Big Three Winds 24
3.3.3 Small Four Winds 64
3.3.4 Big Four Winds 80
3.4 All Honors 64
4.0 Triplets and Kong
4.1 All Triplets 6
4.2.1 Two Concealed Triplets 1
4.2.2 Three Concealed Triplets 6
4.2.3 Four Concealed Triplets 24
4.3.1 One Kong 1
4.3.2 Two Kong 4
4.3.3 Three Kong 24
4.3.4 Four Kong 100
5.0 Identical Sets
5.1.1 Two Identical Sequences 2
5.1.2 Two Identical Sequences Twice 12
5.1.3 Three Identical Sequences 24
5.1.4 Four Identical Sequences 100
6.0 Similar Sets
6.1 Three Similar Sequences 8
6.2.1 Small Three Similar Triplets 6
6.2.2 Three Similar Triplets 24
7.0 Consecutive Sets
7.1 Nine-Tile Straight 8
7.2.1 Three Consecutive Triplets 20
7.2.2 Four Consecutive Triplets 40
8.0 Terminals
8.1.1 Mixed Lesser Terminals 8
8.1.2 Pure Lesser Terminals 10
8.1.3 Mixed Greater Terminals 20
8.1.4 Pure Greater Terminals 80
9.0 Incidental Bonuses
9.1.1 Final Draw 2
9.1.2 Final Discard 2
9.2 Win on Kong 2
9.3 Robbing a Kong 2
9.4.1 Blessing of Heaven 32
9.4.2 Blessing of Earth 32
10.0 Irregular Hands
10.1 Thirteen Terminals 32
10.2 Seven Pairs 6
11.0 Bonus Tiles (optional)
11.1.1 Improper Flower/Season 1 per 2 tiles
11.1.2 Proper Flower/Season 1 per tile
11.2.1 Four Flowers 2
11.2.2 Four Seasons 2

Maximum Limit of a compound hand is now 64 points. With the exception of the 80 and 100 point Listed Limit Hand.

If you use a Minimum Requirement point value, it can now be simply 1 point (or more, up to you).

For Discarder pays for big hands, the threshold is now 5 points. So up to 5 points everybody pays and above that the discarder is responsible to make up the difference. Since the numbers are smaller, payout should be much easier to calculate.


How I came up with those numbers: To arrive at the "new" values I basically divided everything by 5 and then rounded the numbers to the nearest in the following list: **1, 2, [3], 4; 6, 8, 10, 12; 16, 20, 24; 32, 40, [48]; 64, 80 and 100 (~96)**. Now the possible pattern values increases in more predicable steps (+1, +2 after 4, +4 after 12, +8 after 24, +16 after 48). Note that 3 and 48 are not used, and I decided to round 96 to a nice big 100, since this is the max pattern value in the game.

Overall there is very little rounding happening:

  • Three Similar Sequences: 7 to 8 (+1)
  • Four Concealed Triplets: 25 to 24 (-1)
  • Big Three Dragons: 26 to 24 (-2)

PS: If you really, really want, you could now make Seven Pairs be worth 7 points as is traditional in a few styles of Mahjong. It will break the "symmetry", but Seven Pairs is already a break in hand structure anyway...

Can you actually remove the 5 way module without disconnecting the USB C cable from the hot end?

I've seen some (even the manual) showing the Allen key being able to screw it in. However, in my printer, the cable is right in front of the top screw, I can maneuver the key in, but the bottom screw is completely blocked by the cable...

If I disconnect the cable in the middle of print to fix a jam, what would happen? Would I lose the print?

As of today, is it possible to use both Orca Slicer and Matrix app?

As far as I can tell, as of today, OrcaSlicer only works in LAN mode, and Matrix only works without LAN mode, correct?

Do I NEED Elegoo Slicer for local remote control of CC2?

I've order a CC2 combo and tried to find this but no luck. Can I used a browser web interface to access and remote control the CC2 via IP?

The characters from this season share just the names of their book counterparts

I think the pace and style of the season is very different and I'm open to it, but the characters are bugging me a lot... None of them feels like the original characters, also the changes in storyline, for me, are really to the worse.

To me this is no longer an adaptation if most of the beats are lost or completely mangled. I will refrain from saying any specifics and spoiling the show, but I just watched episode 5 and the plotline I was most expecting to see because it is so grandiose for Lestat is so half assed that I'm almost giving up the show.

Dúvida sobre "O essencial de Marx e Engels" da Boitempo

Pessoal, sobre essa coleção (https://www.boitempoeditorial.com.br/produto/o-essencial-de-marx-e-engels-153056), estava lendo seguindo a ordem dos volumes em um grupo de discussão/clube de leitura, mas algumas coisas estão me incomodando e queria a opinião/conselho dos que já leram mais sobre Marx e/ou conhecem a coleção.

Ele quebrar os textos em pedaços distribuídos ao longo da coleção, acho que faz algum sentido se formos pensar em uma linha lógica de estudo agrupando coisas em comum. Mas ele faz algumas elipses cortando trechos que honestamente não vi muito sentido em cortar. Pegamos o manifesto por exemplo: ele mostra o capítulo 1 no livro 2 (escritos econômicos), e os capítulos 2 e 3 no livro 3 (escritos políticos), mas nesse último ele faz uma elipse de uns poucos parágrafos que dá meia página ou menos. E o capítulo 4 (que tem a conclusão operários do mundo uni-vos) que tem 1 página apenas não está incluso na coleção em nenhum do livros.

De novo, entendo ter que selecionar o "essencial" de Marx e Engels, mas por vezes parece que as coisas ficaram tão picotadas ou eliminarem trechos de textos tão importantes para colocar apenas seções da introdução dos respectivos textos, mas que sem avançar nos próprios textos em si, me parece mais um bingo de "quantos livros diferentes conseguimos colocar aqui para falar que listamos tudo", do que uma coleção essencial de fato.

Talvez, em vez de picotar tudo, seria mais "essencial" uma explanação dos tópicos tratados nestes muitos livros com linguagem clara e direta. Ocuparia menos espaço e seria mais "essencial". Por exemplo, tenho certeza dá pra resumir as ideias do Manuscritos econômicos e filosóficos de forma muito mais clara e objetiva do que a escrita do jovem Marx filósofo que é bem difícil de entender.

Go helper apps for physical games (scorer and timer)

Scorer/recorder:

- Kifubara (free): very good, saves SGF and export board, but the scoring gives odd results, like 12.3 points;

- Kifu Snap (freemium): gives the score, but sgf and more are premium

- AhQ Go Player (paid): not sure if it has any free resources, also not sure if it scores the game.

- Komi Count (free): you have to manually drag markers to the grid corners, so it is a bit finicky.

Timer:

- Kizami (freemium): has byoyomi and countdown, but other time settings are paid.

- AhQ Timer (freemium): has byoyomi and increment timers, countdown and scorer are premium (not sure how the compare with the dedicated scorers listed above).

What other apps do you use and recommend?

Esse tipo de aula de judô é "padrão"?

Comecei a fazer judô faz uns meses e algo me incomoda um pouco. Durante a aula não há muito "ensino" de fato, o sensei fala a técnica para ser executada e meio que aprendo com os que já sabem fazer o movimento.

Não que eu estivesse esperando um atendimento personalizado, mas parece que estou 100% por conta própria lá. Eu vou atrás de vídeos para entender melhor a técnica, estou lendo o Judô Kodokan tbm, mas esperava um pouco mais.

Esse é um grupo de judô que tem um carácter meio social e aberto para a população, pensei que poderia ser por isso. Aí lembrei da única outra academia de judô onde moro (que fui até verificar e o judô está custando R$ 250 mensais 2x na semana contrato mínimo de 6 meses), e quando fiz jiu jitsu lá por alguns meses era exatamente assim. Falava uma técnica para praticar e você que se vire com o colega. Eu desisti do BJJ justamente pq depois de uns meses não senti que tinha aprendi quase nada de fato (eu tinha zero conhecimento sobre BJJ quando entrei e sai "sabendo fazer" Kimura, americana, 100 kg, triângulo, etc que aprendi com os colegas).

Isso me desapontou um tanto. Já fiz jiu jitsu em outro CT e era bem parecido. Quando fiz capoeira e Muay Thai era bem diferente. Então parece ser algo meio cultural do judô/jiu jitsu, é isso mesmo?

Eu não tenho muita opção para judô, só tem esses dois locais para treinar... 🫠

What about fantasizing?

At first I thought I had aphantasia, because I can't create elaborate scenarios in my head. Then I found out about SDAM and it makes much more sense, since my personal memories are mostly all faded (but some bad memories are REALLY vivid).

I CAN create a scene in my mind, but it is really static like a painting and I can't really interact with it. So if I want to plan a conversation, it is really detached and focused on pure sentences instead of imagining the actual conversation.

Using OH1 to track judo and contact sports with T-Rex 3

I want to track judo training, but that is not possible wearing a watch. If I use a OH1 with Amazfit how does it work?

Can I trigger a training from the phone or do it stay paired with the watch and I must trigger the training on the watch while I'm not wearing it? If the latter, how far can I be from the watch for it to work reliably?

On TRex3, when doing weight training if I end a set it goes straight to the rest panel and I cannot see the time of the last set there. I'm doing a lot of timed exercises and was hoping to use my watch to track the time, but I need to do it during the workout.

The workaround I'm using is starting a set, pausing when finishing the set, checking the set time, resuming and then ending the set to go on the rest panel. It is very troublesome. There should be a way to check the set time (and probably the rest of the data pages) of the set during the rest period, which is when you can actually look at the watch.

Um instrutor me disse isso, e falou que o sensei está seguindo a CBJ. Mas o regulamento da CBJ diz que acima de 16 anos a carência e sequência das baixas básicas não precisa ser seguida... 🫠
