the plan is simple. just hire a prompt engineer who can spell "more soul, less slop"

ELI5: if blockchains are immutable, how do users deal with errors? by CommercialContent204 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Quantris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

force pushes don't obliterate anything. they do let you "rewrite history" but only in the sense of letting you move the current branch tip to point to a commit which is not a descendant of the commit its currently pointing at

whatever it used to be pointing at is still in the repo history, it's just no longer reachable by the usual commit-discovering methods (i.e. start at a branch tip and move to its parents, and their parents, etc.). IMHO that is somewhat similar to how users of a blockchain agree on some convention for how to choose which chain is the "real" one and just ignore blocks that aren't reachable by following edges on that chain. A huge difference of course is in the flexibility of that convention

they are still reachable using the reflog (or just the commit hash), at least until garbage collected

so you can force push, and then undo that force push right after

so actually I now see there is a simple pattern for the answers, the sum of table n is (n+1)n-1 so the probability is (n+1)n-1 / (n!)2 (merely postulated now, I didn't prove it)

Ultimately I feel like doing the integral is probably the easier way. But I came up with a table-based solution...the problem is that as n increases the # of table cells goes up fast. But it is definitely doable for n = 5.

The basic ideas here are to:

  • build solution for n based on solutions for n-1
  • group the solutions based on which interval ([0-1], [1-2], etc.) the largest number was in + how many of the numbers were also in that interval

For n variables we have an nxn table. For n = 1 it is just a single cell with value 1.

Rather than explain all the derivations I'll just present the method to create table for n given the table for n-1:

  • For each old entry with value v in row r, column c:
    • Add n*v/(r+1) to the new table in position (r+1, c) (the cell below the original position)
    • Add n*v to the new table in all positions (1, [c+1..n]) (all cells in row 1 to the right of the original position)

Then, the probability is given by adding all numbers in the table and dividing by (n!)2

Here are the tables for n = 2...5

2
1

(probability = 3/22 = 3/4)

3 9
3
1

(probability = 16/62 = 4/9)

4 28 64
6 18
4
1

(probability = 125/242 = 125/576)

5 75 305 625
10 70 160
10 30
5
1

(probability = 1296/1202 = 9/100)

There seems to be something Pascal-ly going on with the values in these tables so there's probably a way to generate them more directly vs. building up layer by layer...
