Yes! uYouPlus is amazing although it can be a pain to install because of Apple's shenanigans. It's a collection of patches over the official YouTube app

It runs fine! :)

32-bit Windows programs can run on 64-bit Windows just fine thanks to WoW64 (with probably very few exceptions)

 

There's also a bunch of other discounts on RPG Maker engines & games available on this Steam page

Dumb question: How do you differentiate between these two? I've been staring at this picture for a while but I can't find any obvious differences between Weenie and Leonard

Sorry to butt in but why is my fellow waffle's demand not possible? :(

NSFW is how you tag stuff that you don't want your colleagues to see on your screen at work: it's not just for porn!

Yup! In that case, this is not an answer that can be solved "mathematically" as you asked: convincing a large group of total strangers to do something for you is within the realm of crowd psychology.

If r/place showed us anything, it's that you can get people to work hard together if you make them feel part of a community. Maybe creating a Lemmy community whose goal is to keep all posts within that community at 69% would work?

Not sure if that's the answer you wanted but that's how I've understood your question so don't hesitate to correct me :)

Is your question "what is the probability for one of my post to have 69% upvotes"? This should be answered by a binomial distribution!

According to this website, for p=0.5; n=100; and x=69 the probability should be ~0.005%.

This means that if 100 people vote your post perfectly randomly, the chance of getting 69% upvotes is ~0.005%. This number will also become smaller if more people start voting since given an infinite amount of votes, the ratio of upvotes should converge towards the chance that a person gives your post an upvote (aka. 50%) so we'd get even further from our 69% target.

Basically, if people vote perfectly randomly it's unlikely to get to exactly 69%. Such is the fate of us mortals :(

It's Alex Unemployment's archnemesis.

It's time to accept that with every passing second, your body irreversibly degrades. In every instant of life, death becomes closer and closer until it eventually consumes your consciousness and turns you into a lump of organic matter.

Which is like 3:45 pm. You're welcome! :)

No censorship here. Could've guess with the instance's name but still good to know! Thanks :)

Yup, that's what my dentist recommends. If you do that, just make sure you have a toothbrush and toothpaste which doesn't hurt your teeth :)

No. If you want to run an algorithm you should run it on your computer and not on somebody else's.

Ignoring the fact that having a proper recommendation AI for every single user would be environmentally disastrous, it would also place much more burden on the ones hosting instances. Keep in mind that most instances are hosted by people who do not earn anything from them and that many bigger instances already had to rent bigger servers because of the influx of people. Adding computationally expansive algorithms in the mix would just increase the cost for the volunteers on top of signing the death of some smaller instances run on a tight budget.

It would also be prone to recreating the SEO mess that we can see today on social medias like youtube where, if you want to grow your community, satisfying the algorithm becomes more important than the actual content of your posts.

However, I would have no issues with an algorithm that a user of an instance could run on their devices and tweak to their liking. This solution would probably be less convenient but would avoid most of the mess.
