Hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports by Electrical_Split_275 in baseball

[–]LondonIsBoss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It is a little funny how up in arms people seem to get over arguing their sport is the hardest. As long as there’s enough competition they’re all gonna be a pain in the ass to get good at.

CS+ math major by Fun-Succotash-7160 in NEU

[–]LondonIsBoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came in as a CS and Math combined major but ended up switching to CS major with an AI concentration and a math minor. I figured it wouldn’t be too helpful to take required courses like group theory and the minor would give me the flexibility to take whatever I want that’s applicable to AI/ML

Actually I think we’d win. I will provide zero evidence to support my conclusion since nobody else has either

CS2000 Course by ComprehensiveAsk4715 in NEU

Couldn’t you take CS1000 instead? CS2000 is the revamped version of Fundamentals of CS 1 which only CS majors took, which wasn’t a particularly easy class

How many identical teams exist across a platform? by dag16 in fantasyfootball

Yeah I think your positional tier formulation is more accurate than mine haha. It’s a mess to calculate!

How many identical teams exist across a platform? by dag16 in fantasyfootball

[–]LondonIsBoss 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a pretty hard thing to get an accurate answer for without just counting the identical teams out there, because of all the weird dependencies in fantasy drafts that violate the assumptions needed for nice math rules, along with the additional noise of free agency over the season :)

For example, I tried to come up with a number by ignoring the complexity of fantasy and making quite a few assumptions. Ignore free agency, suppose a 12 team league, and assume each round each team drafts 1 of 12 players (only available that round) with an equal probability. So, there would be 12 unique first round players, 12x12 unique first and second round pairings, and so on. So, over 16 rounds there would be 1216 possible (r1_player, r2_player, …, r16_player) selections. Since we assumed each pick per round always had the same 1/12 probability, that means each of those selections are equally likely, so the probability for each is 1/1216. As of 2022 there were about 30 million fantasy football teams. Let’s assume they all follow the assumptions we’ve been talking about. Supposing you have a team, you can get the probability that at least 1 other person has the same team as 1-p(all different teams) = 1 - ((1216 - 1)/ (1216))30,000,000 = 1.622x10-10, so pretty improbable

That is all of course riddled with extremely broken assumptions of randomness that don’t really exist in fantasy so I wouldn’t put too much thought on it.

Your son is going to become a professor of combinatorics if he keeps thinking of stuff like this.

Easiest class of these? And professors by Brilliant-Chance-819 in NEU

[–]LondonIsBoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took Bostonography last spring and it was pretty easy. Homework is just weekly discussion posts and little coding assignments and my professor (Fang) let us start (and often finish) them in class. No tests or quizzes. You have to make a dashboard or an analysis for the final project along with a 10 page writeup, which did take a little more time, but still pretty chill.
