Dr. Anna Latour shared the below article:

Unsure Calculator

Giovanni's (@gla@mastodon.social) bookmarks @ubnt@betula.tail3c2d2c.ts.net

Unsure Calculator

The Uncertainty Calculator enables users to perform calculations using precise numbers and ranges (e.g., 4 or 4 ยฑ 6) to express uncertainty. It simplifies statistical reasoning for everyday decisions, helping users gauge potential financial outcomes in uncertain situations.

Key Features

  • Input both exact numbers and ranges with a tilde (~) to denote uncertainty.

  • Operates on basic mathematical operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and supports functions like exponentiation, square roots, and trigonometric functions.

  • Utilizes a Monte Carlo method for computations, providing a probabilistic range of results.

  • Design is basic and intentionally user-friendly, aiming to empower those without deep statistical knowledge.

Limitations

  • Calculation speed is slower due to Monte Carlo simulations, and the formula parser may show errors.

  • Only normal distributions are assumed for ranges, providing a simplified model for uncertainty.

Practical Applications

  • Estimate financial viability of business ideas, calculate potential investment returns, assess risks, and more, all accounting for uncertainty in key variables.

This sounds like a snark but Iโ€™m totally serious: I want to understand whoโ€™s buying multiple carts full of pies at Costco. Multiple people are checking out with 1, 2, even 3 carts filled to the brim with pie. Are they fencing them? Donating? Reselling by the slice at restaurants? Having Thanksgiving meals at a scale I can barely imagine? (I suppose I could have asked but that feels awkward)

Eventually we'll all be paying for our media via a donation amount we set up to be auto distributed to creators based on the percentage of our time spent with their work, out of all the time we consumed media for that month. It will liberate creators from advertiser and business concerns and put independents on the same level as big media corporations.

But to get there, we need a fiat transfer protocol. Maybe somebody who will benefit could give them some press.

I'm on three and a half years now of ~daily music recommendation posts here. For reasons that seem less defensible all the time, I chose to organize them as a thread instead of via hashtags. Threads tend to break completely after a year of posts, so I make a new thread once a year, but even THAT kinda breaks Mastodon, so I'm thinking, I'm gonna start refreshing the thread on a six month schedule.

Year 3.5 in the thread below:

What I'm listening to today: "mode 4", StereoMan

Light, airy "intelligent jungle" from 1997, in sample-based Impulse Tracker. There's a whole hidden history behind this inaccessible to me, this musician broke out of a modscene group called N.O.I.S.E. to become Bulgaria's most successful electronic musician, this is from a collection of "mode" tracks (1 through 5) that may or may not have been released under the name "j0r0". All I know is this has irrepressible energy

I have thought about this article approximately 10,000 times since I first read it last week.

apmreports.org/episode/2019/08

It helps to explain *so many things*. Why are the obvious lies spewed by fox news so convincing? Why do people get so mad on social media about things no one said? Why do people so readily see intelligence in chat slop?

In part, because they literally can't read. They can recognize maybe a couple hundred words, and they guess at the rest.
