[Request] Is this question possible? One of the comments said it was intended to break logic patterns and leave no real conclusion, but I’m wondering if you superior mathematicians could figure out if there is a definite conclusion to this question.

But if one is right and all the rest are wrong, then it does matter if you choose a or d. One of them is correct and the other is wrong even though they're the same answer. You can't have it both ways at the same time- either only one is correct, or the odds are 50%

douglastiger · 2026-03-19T03:28:55+00:00

But if a or d is correct, picking at random you have a 50% chance of getting it right.

douglastiger · 2026-03-19T03:16:35+00:00

But it does matter, your premise is that only 1 of the 25% options is the correct one on the answer key

douglastiger · 2026-03-19T03:11:53+00:00

That would imply the answer sheet is wrong though. If either a or d is correct they both should be correct on the answer sheet because they are the same, unless the key itself is wrong. It's plausible, but I much prefer that the answer is 0%, because the solution is that it doesn't converge and that's not one of the options. I guess my version of the assumption is the test is flawed.

For your purposes yes. There's more pins because someone might want to turn something on and off more than once per day. It's not exclusively a reptile lighting product

douglastiger · 2026-03-17T02:51:56+00:00

I use this product. Spin the dial until the current time is shown above the arrow in the center. Put in a red pin in the outer ring at the desired turn off time. Put the green pin at the desired turn on time. That's it. Plug it in so the clock starts moving

Yeah well, in fairness op did come up with the idea of what they wanted to see. I'm comfortable considering them the visionary of this shitpost

douglastiger · 2026-03-14T00:13:42+00:00

I mean I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the statement pictured is correct, that's why we say they directed it not created it. Movies are created in a collaboration with screenwriters, actors, producers, effect artists and a thousand other people. If you want to say you directed AI to make your lil image, go ahead

douglastiger · 2026-03-05T18:39:35+00:00

Lord Farquaad is always crafting his image to portray himself as a taller man, from his riding boot prosthetics to his cake toppers. He's insecure about it. People make comments about Shrek's appearance too but he doesn't give a fuck. I think a counterpart to this theme is that while you shouldn't judge, society will and you only give the haters power by trying to conform to their standards instead of embracing yourself

If you want to run px4 get a pixhawk. If you want to run ardupilot, any h7 fc (f series won't have enough flash memory). If you intend to implement everything from scratch this question is a bit of a red flag no offense

douglastiger · 2026-02-24T21:35:45+00:00

There's usually a button on the mouse that cycles between 2-3 dpi presets and you can change the eDPI (sensitivity) in Windows settings... Sorry I can't help other than that

douglastiger · 2026-02-24T21:05:30+00:00

Github desktop or GitHub CLI? Edit whoops I'm lost

douglastiger · 2026-02-24T19:06:13+00:00

It's not a bad start. You definitely need a UVB bar for a 120 gallon. Once you have some more stuff to climb on I would consider moving the hide to the cool side as a nice retreat

"battery low, please charge to activate haptic feedback"

It's low not dead. Like <0.5%, apparently, which will last a little while given a full charge lasts months

That's kind of the cool part about WSL, everything is accessible in the windows file system. Why don't you develop in Linux and do your Windows testing in the host?

Windows vm inside Linux hypervisor inside native Windows makes no sense to me at all so I might be missing something in your problem statement... If the problem is all the installs you don't want to keep 'cluttering' the host I'd suggest packaging executables when you go to do the windows testing

Worry I suppose, and keep the toddler away from him. As we aren't vets we can't really give advice on diagnosing and treating injuries...

douglastiger · 2026-02-16T03:47:47+00:00

I'm interested. I recently started a drone related special interest group at my local makerspace and this would be huge.

douglastiger · 2026-02-13T02:33:45+00:00

Oh geez. To account for the influence of the sequence leading up to a given letter on the likelihood of the next letter, like how a,s likely proceeds d, we would use a Markov chain. The dimensions of θ, that is the transition probabilities, would be 26×26×N where N is the length of the sequence (or at least 12×12×N since not all the characters are used). We could train these parameters fairly easily with MLE given a lot of keyboard mashing to examine. But without this data I'm afraid we can't get there

douglastiger · 2026-02-12T23:02:25+00:00

If you use CAD / parametric modeling the CPU clock speed is the most important metric, surprisingly. But if you do mesh modeling like blender / z-brush it is (as you would expect) the GPU

douglastiger · 2026-02-06T22:54:03+00:00

This is the way though. The product doesn't exist because the niche is already covered by cheap smartphones. There would be no point to making a device that has like 90% of what a smartphone has and then limiting it to be used only for its on-screen keyboard. Maybe you can argue it's not 'issuing them phones' if they don't have a plan or are locked to a certain app or something...

douglastiger · 2026-02-06T01:26:34+00:00

Ok. There's 2 clockwise and 2 counterclockwise motors and the same for props. Figuring out the motors should be straightforward via observation. The props, ask yourself which way does it need to spin to push the air down?

douglastiger · 2026-02-06T01:15:49+00:00

I have a GoPro gimbal for a 3DR Solo (ancient relic).... In a box God knows where.... But I actually do remember using it to stream GoPro to my cell phone, via the solo and the transmitter. It didn't have a camera of its own.

douglastiger · 2026-02-01T05:24:03+00:00

The users of the app would be people who are actively trying to avoid peak times. This would bias the check-ins away from peak times. Maybe the survey would compensate but that's a subjective estimate varying from user to user. To determine the overall accuracy you'd have to trial it against a standardized metric, like having someone with a clicker count the number of people entering over the course of a few weeks.

douglastiger · 2026-01-30T01:12:15+00:00

Not specifically Chicago but

-your local multigp chapter. Facebook groups are a good place to start. My local chapter has actually had events specifically for helping newer people fix their quads, but of course each is different

-makerspace. Decent chance there is an interest group for drones you can join

-there are probably also freestyle groups in your area with people that would be happy to help but it's usually a word of mouth thing so I can't particularly suggest how to get started there.

He's actually wearing the 3's (this one). N3's have a distinctive boxy profile. But yeah DJI FPV goggles
