lemming741, (edited ) in Any good Lemmy communities for questions about solar lights?

His YouTube channel has a decade’s worth of messing around with those solar lights

Flaky, in What's your wider fediverse setup?
@Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

I have an iPad that I use Mona with. Fedi web clients tend to suck on iOS. On the desktop I use whatever default web client there is, or Elk in the case of Mastodon.

I don’t really use Lemmy enough to warrant using an app for it.

Ooh, I’d never heard of Elk before. Just checked it out and it’s really nice — might have to make it my web client now. Thank for sharing!

IcyRain, in Is there an artist whose work you love but was a shitty person?

MCA Chris Avellone, turned out to be a sex pest or something, kind of broke my heart a bit with that.

That one appears to have turned out to not be the case, fortunately. He wrote up a very long post with a lot of receipts (which is worth a read). He filed a libel suit against his two accusers, which ended up being settled out of court with a large payout in his favour and with the accusers retracting their accusations, categorically saying he had never sexually abused either of them (or any other women to their knowledge).

It was satisfactory enough for me, personally.

hperrin, in Is there an artist whose work you love but was a shitty person?

Idk if its authors count as artists, but I’m a fan of the US Constitution. A lot of its authors were slave holders though, so nearly the worst a person can be.

This is probably a controversial one. As someone who studied modern political history, the U.S. Constitution is - taken completely subjective for its time, authors, situation, etc. - an amazing piece of human achievement. It’s a shame that so many people view it was some static command from the past, rather than the living document that it’s authors intended it to be.

shuzuko, in What is a niche interest or hobby you'd personally like to see represented more on Lemmy

Aerial arts - silks, trapeze, flying pole, lyra, straps, custom apparatus like cubes/chairs etc. Anything about doing artistic acrobatics on a piece of metal/fabric/other suspended in the air. The community on reddit was the perfect size but pretty much none of them came over to lemmy.

Nanomerce, in Can anyone here get Gboard to gesture type "Lemmy"?

lemme lemmy lemmy lemmy lemmy, yeah seems like it works for me.

Doorbook, in What is a niche interest or hobby you'd personally like to see represented more on Lemmy

For me it is OnePiece manga that I would like to see more active here. Currently the only option is reddit.

Would love to see more crochet content, there is alot of posts in the knitting community here, but the crocheting ones feel dead.

themurphy, in What are the odds of getting a passing grade by sheer guessing here?

GPT-4 answered this. I will link it’s calculations down below in the next comment.

The probability of passing the test by brute force guessing (i.e., getting at least one question right) is approximately 68.36%. This includes the scenarios where you get one question right and one wrong, or both questions right.

Additionally, the probability of getting a perfect score (i.e., both questions right) by guessing is approximately 19.14%.

themurphy,

To calculate the odds of getting a passing grade (at least one question correct) or a perfect score (both questions correct) through brute-force guessing, let’s break down the scenario:

  1. Each question has 4 possible answers, and only one is correct.
  2. You have two attempts to answer each question.
  3. You remember your previous answers and do not repeat them.

First, we’ll calculate the probability of guessing at least one question correctly. There are two scenarios where you pass:

  • Scenario 1: You get one question right and one wrong.
  • Scenario 2: You get both questions right.

For each question:

  • Probability of getting it right in one of the two tries = ( 1 - ) (Probability of getting it wrong twice)
  • Probability of getting it wrong in one try = ( \frac{3}{4} ) (since there are 3 wrong answers out of 4)
  • Probability of getting it wrong twice = ( \left( \frac{3}{4} \right)^2 )

So, the probability of getting at least one question right in two attempts is ( 1 - \left( \frac{3}{4} \right)^2 ).

For two questions:

  • Scenario 1 (One Right, One Wrong):
    • Probability of getting one question right (as calculated above) multiplied by the probability of getting the other question wrong twice.
  • Scenario 2 (Both Right):
    • Probability of getting each question right (as calculated above) and multiplying these probabilities together.

The overall probability of passing (getting at least one question right) is the sum of the probabilities of these two scenarios.

Now, let’s calculate these probabilities.

ilmagico,

phew… the human race is safe (for now) 😅

That’s just what thaiy wants you to think!

ilmagico,

GPT4 is pulling these numbers out of its … I mean, out of thin air ;)

bstix,

GPT-4 is a language model, and while it was an interesting take, it appears to be the wrong tool for the job.

The answer is wrong and without any documentation or proof showing the line of thought to determine the result it’s just a useless number.

Math is not really about the result. It is about understanding the process. Having an AI do that is completely against the purpose of asking this kind of questions in the first place. OP doesn’t need to know if the chance is 68% or 75%, but rather how to figure it out.
