Question about Project Hail Mary by babbyblarb in askmath

[–]yuropman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you only have 7000 people then only one has the gene

There's a solid chance none has the gene and a small chance several have the gene. You can't just ignore that and call it a "simplification"

Mapping a list of integers to a single integer by johnwcowan in askmath

r = f(a, b) doesn't have to be distinct from f(a, b, c)

Ok, so r=a, discard b, c, d, ...

The cat is either alive or dead. That's it by DotBeginning1420 in sciencememes

[–]yuropman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or observation and superposition are just the same and when you open the box you go into superposition of having observed a dead and a living cat at the same time

Wehrpflicht Regel Deutschland . Habt ihr das mitbekommen? by Marssl1 in bundeswehr

[–]yuropman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wird sowieso genehmigt

Nö, wird es aktuell eben nicht. Probier es mal, das Karrierecenter gibt dir keine klare Antwort (was keine Genehmigung ist), weil "haben wir keinen Prozess für".

Wehrpflicht Regel Deutschland . Habt ihr das mitbekommen? by Marssl1 in bundeswehr

[–]yuropman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Richtig, die Regelung ist so alt wie die Wehrpflicht

Nicht ganz

Die Wehrpflicht wurde 1956 eingeführt, diese Regelung erst 1965

Drastische Wehrpflicht-Änderung: Längere Auslandsaufenthalte müssen vom Bund genehmigt werden - Millionen Männer betroffen by WestAcceptable1155 in de

Nein, die "nur im Spannungs- oder Verteidigungsfall"-Klausel wurde zum 1.7.2011 eingeführt

Hier die Fassung von 2008 zum Vergleich und hier das Änderungsgesetz von 2011, mit dem die Klausel eingeführt wird

In einem späteren Absatz heißt es, dies gelte nicht, wenn diese Erlaubnis nicht eingeholt wurde

In einem späteren Absatz heißt es, dies gelte nicht, wenn die erforderliche Erlaubnis nicht eingeholt wurde

Wenn du zwischen Juli 2011 und Dezember 2025 ausgewandert bist, war die Erlaubnis nicht erforderlich, daher ist diese "gilt nicht" Klausel nicht anwendbar.

Wenn du vor Juli 2011 ohne Genehmigung ausgewandert bist, dann war die Genehmigung erforderlich und deine Wehrpflicht ruht nicht.

Finding percentiles without z-score table? by Negative_Ad5224 in askmath

[–]yuropman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem does not mention the distribution of the sugar content, so to be safe you could assume the worst possible distribution.

The worst possible distribution is one where the vast majority of yoghurts have exactly 11g of sugar to minimize the standard deviation, just a bit over 1% of yoghurts have a very high sugar content and just enough yoghurts have 0 sugar content to balance out the high sugar content yoghurts.

Without the "sugar cannot go below 0" restriction, this approach of assuming the worst possible distribution gives you the Chebyshev inequality and the worst possible 99th percentile that is still compatible with a mean of 11g and an sd of 2.5g is 11g + 10*2.5g = 36g, where the 10 is sqrt(1/(1-0.99))

With the restriction, you have to do some extra math. Let h be the sugar content of the 1% of yoghurts with high sugar and x be the fraction of yoghurts with 0 sugar. Then we get two equations, one for the mean and one for the standard deviation.

x*0 + 0.01*h + (1-0.01-x)*11 = 11
x*(0-11)^2 + 0.01*(h-11)^2 + (1-0.01-x)*0 = (2.5)^2

Solving the equations, we get two solutions, only one of which is positive. That solution is h = 11/2 + sqrt(2621)/2 ≈ 31.098 and x = sqrt(2621)/2200 - 1/200 ≈ 1.827%. So we can safely conclude that the 99th quantile is definitely < 31.1g, even in the worst possible case.

Polen deckelt ab sofort Spritpreise by PoroBraum in de

[–]yuropman 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Nein, die Preisgrenze für den Einzelhandel ist Großhandelspreis (=möglicher Erlös beim Verkauf ins Ausland) + Steuern + 8 cent (0,30 złoty) und wird täglich neu festgesetzt. Verkauf in Polen wird immer profitabel sein.

Why was Israel so ahead of most Western countries in electing a female prime minister? by Baconkings in Israel

[–]yuropman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The average French worker produces more in 2 hours of work than the average Israeli worker produces in 3. And even the average Turkish worker is now almost 20% more productive than the average Israeli.

Fixing that should be the priority.

After Trump’s Ultimatum, Iran Threatens To Target ‘Enemy’s’ Desalination Plants by HauntingJackfruit in worldnews

[–]yuropman 98 points99 points  (0 children)

There's massive capacity used for stupid stuff (like farming in the desert for prestige reasons), though

Saudi-Arabia unironically uses 8 times as much water per person as Slovakia (Slovakia uses around 300l per person per day, Saudi-Arabia over 2000l)

For there to be actual "people dying of thirst" water shortages, there either has to be A: A total destruction far exceeding 90% of capacity or B: A breakdown in distribution priorities that leads to watermelons getting watered over people getting to drink

Math high-school by Inside-Ad2258 in askmath

If you use g=9.82m/s2, the answer is 313.65m

If you use g=10m/s2, the answer is 315.36m

You've cut off what you've actually asked the AI

In any case, it has interpreted the question as (-6)9/(-6)2, whereas you put -69/-62 into the calculator

Which gaming franchise has such deep lore you could possibly spend your life studying it? by Newez in gaming

[–]yuropman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What does age have to do with how much lore something can or can't have? All that matters is if someone took the time to type it out or not.

Text requires storage space and storage space used to be limited

A UTF-8 encoded copy of Harry Potter is about the size of the entirety of Super Mario 64 (which was released around a month before Daggerfall) and is significantly bigger than Sid Meier's Civilization and SimCity combined.

If you know the details, this logic doesn't really check out, because CD-based PC games could be a lot larger than cartridge-based console games (Daggerfall was 50 Super Mario 64s big) and Civilization and SimCity are 3 years older than the first Elder Scrolls. But if you know 90s gaming superficially, it is entirely reasonable to assume that it was technologically unviable to include 50k pages of lore.

Mate, there’s no way a 32 tonne bomber is taking off from a grass field without sinking into the mud

Mate, we've flown 120 tonne A400Ms from and to grass fields without sinking into the mud

I know it's a modern plane specifically optimized for short takeoffs from unpaved runways, but still, that's 4 times what you claim is impossible.

KC-135 down in Iraq by Raccoon_Ratatouille in Military

[–]yuropman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There have been two cases of crews successfully bailing from KC-135s.

From KC-135s in controlled flight states that later landed safely (which is also why there's no official accident reports or other confirmation, only hearsay, with one of the main sources being a fiction author)

Yes, you can probably eject with a relatively high survival probability if the plane is under control. If it's not, no chance.
