LOL crunk over here gets offended anytime he hears there are smart high-quality people. He hates to be excluded

If you want people to care about people harming you, true or not, try not being a horrible human being. You are, so no one cares what happens to you, thats on you.

@swiley I left t-mobile specifically because they kept calling me to sell stuff.. this was a few years ago now. Seems they only got worse since then.

thinking out loud about a solution (seriously) 

@Pat

good luck, I will say this, the key to the solution is how you think about and model the data in the jars.

@Pat

No, there is no statistical solution.

@Absinthe @math

A great math rebuttal on just how pathetically poor the court arguments were claiming election fraud in the USA. Quite literally the guy who wrote the mathematical analysis for the Trump side should never be taken seriously in any math context every again. He lost his right to being considered an expert

@Pat

Yes but a statistical solution would need to garuntee 100% of the time you will always get the right answer (not just that its likely).. So even if you can describe the distribution of one half vs the other you could never do so in a way that would describe with 100% accuracy which group a number belongs to.

Since the assistant doesnt know the target number going in im not sure how a technique along these lines could work. The flip is at a single pair yet would have to communicate the position of every paper in every pot.

@marathon

My degrees are all math intensive but not in math no. My specialization was in biologically inspired algorithms and machine learning. I also have some degrees in Applied Data Science and Electrical Engineering.

My professional career has deviated from that somewhat however. I have worked in a lot of different fields that utilize some of those skill sets but isnt really in those fields. Like I worked on the human genome project, disease proliferation models for the government, conventional software engineering, you name it.

@math

@mzan I'd be reluctant to equate "infinite digits" with "infinite information".. a random number generator can produce infinite digits but has 0 information. Most numbers that have infinite digits after the decimal point, wont have any more information than a random number generator, well no more so than an integer anyway.

@freemo
Imo the best thing about this is that the almost-converse theorem was proven by Greg Egan, the author of, among others, the SF book "Permutation City".
@math

@biomedmax Maybe, we should have a chat and see where it goes. What language are you working in? If its the same language there might be more room for collaboration.

@josias Was it confusing or was your brain so hard wired to think it isnt possible that it rejected the solution even if it did make sense?

@fediverse i cant view, p blocked me a while back from viewing direct links somehow, perhaps unintentionally as he claims to be unaware
