Homework: assume that of all mathematicians with an English-language social media account, 1 in 16 is working with expectations on any given day, of which 1 in 1024 comes up with the above joke, of which 1 in 8 decides to post it on their social media, of which 1 in 2 actually do so. Assume the decision whether to post is a Bernoulli trial.
Write down the expectation of the number of times the joke has been or will be made this calendar week (as of this post) given your current information.
@peterdrake
The answer atleast makes sense ;)
@freemo That got me a short answer
https://stackoverflow.com/a/73861151/1435803
that includes a link to a much deeper rabbit hole than I care to explore.
@peterdrake Write a stackoverflow question
It used to be the case in #Haskell that
:t 3
would give you
3 :: Num a => a
but
let x = 3
:t x
would give you
x :: Integer
because storing a value in variable forced the system to commit to a specific type.
Nowadays, though, the latter gives you
x :: Num a => a
What changed? I'm at a loss as to how to search the web for an answer to this one.

Thanls. Once my schedule calms down a bit id be down for that.

@freemo Depending on the definition of "butt", do snakes count?
All true, but I find most speaker RFI in a computer setup is near-field not far-field. Meaning even relatively short runs, since it is adjacent to power carrying lines, pick up a **lot** of RFI. So even short runs of optical line really help. Also the fact that it is digital helps far more than it being optical, but optical is just nice anyway :)
@icedquinn The big advantage of spidif is you reduce the length of the pre-amplified signal needs to travel and make it digital. So it wont pick as much RF noise
@freeschool The truth is as a moderator I need to translate **all** posts on qoto so I can catch concerning content. As of yet I know of no automatic way to do that other than google.
That said I assure you I'd never lock the QOTO users into google in any way. I know a lot of QOTO users hate them and I go out of my way to honor that choice for them.
