I did something like this when working support at Phillips

I thought it was funny but my colleagues and supervisor were not entertained lol

Something like what exactly part of “this”? I can’t even

It works. Well, it works about as well as your average LLM

pi ends with the digit 9, followed by an infinite sequence of other digits.

That’s a very interesting use of the word “ends”.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot ,

It’s like how they called the fourth Friday the 13th movie “The Final Chapter”.

psycho_driver ,

True but I think the Fast & the Furious franchise has a better shot at giving Pi a run for it’s money.

CanadaPlus , (edited )

TBF, if your goal is to generate the most valid sentence that directly answers the question, it’s only one minor abstract noun that’s broken here.

Edit: I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a substantial drop in the probability of a digit being listed after the leading 9 (3.14159…), even, so it is “last” in a sense.

Edit again: Man, Baader-Meinhof so hard. Somehow pi to 5 digits came up more than once in 24 hours, so yes.

Quereller ,

GPT-4 gives a correct answer to the question.

moody ,

It’s 4, isn’t ut?

Quereller ,

No clue what Amazon is using. The one I have access to gave a sane answer.

CanadaPlus ,

There’s probably some finetuning at play for Amazon’s thing which makes it tend to always give a straight answer, instead of stepping outside of the box and doing something like correcting an implicit assumption.

Empricorn ,

In other words, it doesn’t work.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe it knows something about pi we don’t.

It’s infinite yet ends in a 9. It’s a great mystery.

Empricorn ,

The answer to life, the universe, and everything is 42… +9.

CanadaPlus ,

Hyperreal numbers go brrr.

I’m kind of curious what ways exactly using this in place of actual pi would change/break geometry. Obviously, it wouldn’t become noticeable until you try to involve infinite structures.

Pi is 10 in base-pi

EDIT: 10, not 1

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Mathematicians are weird enough that at least one of them has done calculations in base-pi.

Buddahriffic ,

That’s pretty much what radians are. Well, they combine base pi with whatever base you’re using for the coefficients.

blind3rdeye ,

I saw someone post this a few days ago, and someone else quickly pointed out that it is incorrect. This time I’ll point out it is incorrect.

In base-pi, pi would be represented as 10. The place value of the right-most digit would be pi^0, and the next digit is pi^1.

uis ,

Indeed. 10 is pi in base-pi

CanadaPlus ,

I mean, it depends on what you’re doing. Supervision always required, though.

Its actually the worst advice when you haven’t figured out what it is, something like a virus (ransom ware, ad shit or similar) usually only works after a restart, if you don’t restart, the IT guy can remove it without much damage.

Abundance of PascalCase in ThreadName disturbs me. If you don’t use FormatSymbol as format symbol at least name variables in camelCase. Or snake_case, or at the very least SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE.

It’s still is, but that would be a bad joke on my end.

He was genuinely a really good developer. It’s unfortunate that he was schizophrenic.

Clent ,

Are you doing that thing where you troll by saying something really stupid and wait for others to correct you?

Cqrd ,

Are you?

Clent ,

No, you made a statement. I asked a question. My question isn’t a troll since it has a clear yes or no answer.

An answer you’ve failed to provide.

isVeryLoud ,

No, I believe it’s called a joke

Clent ,

No, jokes have structure. It could be sarcasm but it could as easily be trolling.

I was on the phone with our ISP after our internet service went out. The rep asked me if the box had a green light on it - yes - then asked me to plug a light into the same outlet and confirm the power was on. I said, “Look, I understand you have to follow a script, but you literally just asked me to confirm the power light on the box was on. Clearly the power is working.”

Same ISP sends me an email whenever we have a power outage letting me know that our internet might not work when the power is out. (I’ve joked that this email arrives before the ceiling fans have come to a stop.) But when my internet goes down, they’re completely clueless. “Ohhhh it must be that your power is out even though we monitor that closely and aren’t showing a power outage right now!”

isaaclyman , in They did not reply.

Back during the real estate frenzy of the late 2010s I would get calls all the time asking how much I would sell my house for. I’d say “I could probably let it go for 2 million dollars.” (Even at the ridiculous peak, it was never worth more than 750k.) There would be a few seconds of silence on the line while they actually looked up my house. Then they’d say “oh.” And hang up as fast as humanly possible.

What, never been to Property City, Area? It’s the best place in Country.

Instigate ,

While I loved PropertyCity while I lived there, my early years in RuralTown showed that’s where the real Country really is. We had a herd of FarmAnimals and would always go down to the WaterBody on the weekends where the LargeMammals roamed free and wild!

Quacksalber ,

Well if it’s a 32bit timestamp you’re screwed after 19 January 2038 (at 03:14:07 UTC)

Maybe they’re planning on dying before then? In which case they’re fine.

PlexSheep ,

I don’t think modern systems use 32bit stamps anymore, the ones that do are built to fail

How is this about programming?

Edit: Keep on downvoting, I simply asked a question…

lugal ,

It’s about IT. Close enough

DxK OP , (edited )

I didn’t say it was, but it’s adjacent, and based on the vote % it seems like most people don’t have an issue with a meme about IT.
