bstix, (edited ) to asklemmy in What are the odds of getting a passing grade by sheer guessing here?

An unknown factor is if you even get to make a second try at getting 100% if you already passed with 50% on the first test. If it is possible to redo a passed test, I still find it unlikely that anyone would do so given that they know that they don’t know the answers.

Including the edit that you’re not told which one was right in the first attempt with a 50% score, it makes a lot more sense to accept the first 50% pass. Choosing different answers for the second try would only give the maximum score of 50% again, while choosing completely random answers again would only give the same chance as the first attempt, in which 0% is still more likely than 100%

Similarly, if you do get 100% on the first attempt, why’d you want to try again… a lot of the answers here calculate the overall statistics when using both attempts regardless.

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.

You only accounted for the situations with one correct answer in the case where it is the first question.

I can see it working to filter out incompatible partners.

Attraction… maybe for someone looking for a certain kind of partner.

Yeah I mean, it obviously depends on your age and world wide location. Contemporary 70 y/o in Europe have a decent understanding of math and logic. It’s a narrow cut off though. My grand parents on my father’s side never touched a computer while my grandparents on my mother’s side were shitposting on Facebook on their cellphones.

They were the example of the difference between understanding running a Fergus’s tractor and Wndows 95, despite having less than a decade in age difference

I once had a teacher who told us to “Explain the curriculum to your grandmother. That’s when YOU get it.”

IMO ELI70 is somewhat better than ELI5 because it allows people to explain it without childish simplifications, but with the same challenge in comprehension.

bstix, to asklemmy in What the fuck are bagged eggs?

It’s scrambled eggs in a bag.

They’re used in hotel restaurants, canteens, cafeteries etc. for making a uniform product when serving many people in a buffet.

It’s alright, I guess. Eggs are great for this kind of product.

It would be nice to save the plastic bag and just make actual scrambled eggs, which is about as difficult as opening the bag anyway. However in kitchens like in hotels where the staff is new every month, it’s an easy way to keep that dish from fucking up.

I was once at a 4 star hotel where a chef would cook each dish of scrambled eggs individually for each guest from a selection of additional ingredients and spices. Sure it was a luxury experience, but I could as well have eaten the bagged eggs and added some stuff myself if I actually needed mushrooms and peppers etc.

bstix, to lemmyshitpost in the Perks of ownership...

Home ownership is for people who DIY.

I’ve fixed enough things myself to realise that most things are broken because the previous owners also fixed it themselves.

bstix, to memes in Time changes us all

The construction is amazing.

Like, if you’re gonna spend this amount of money or any amount of money on doing this, or any amount of time, fucking do it in a way that doesn’t rot in less than two weeks.

It probably looked great the day it was put up.

It’s London isn’t it? A crack user probably couldn’t afford to rent that plastic shed on top of a house.

Spoken and written don’t need to use the same format. Time also isn’t spoken using the written format hhmmss.

bstix, to lemmyshitpost in Analog problems require kickass solutions

That’s the ground. It’s probably not an issue.

Historically, Santa was a devil figure in Finland.

The original character Nuttipukki was an evil spirit that would go from door to door demanding presents and leftovers from the yule feast.

It later turned into Joulupukki which gave gifts instead of taking them.

Eventually that turned into the classic Coca-Cola Santa, but you can still find goats as Christmas decoration in Finland and Sweden.

Yeah well that’s from where I learned English, so my vocabulary might be a little froody.

Yes it would. Had I known it was already prepared for it, I’d never have repaired the walls.
