| Topic | Anyone have a pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds/Buds+? I'm thinking of buying a pair. |

| Nanaimo-Bar 06/10/20 10:45:27 PM #1 | Not sure whether to get Buds or Buds+, thinking the latter because the mic quality is like 10 times and the battery life is twice as good. In particular I'd use them for my daily run which I'm sort of skeptical about since they're true wireless but people say they're fine and I have pretty small ears so they should fit more snugly. Other than that I usually listen to a podcasts and music for a few hours a day while doing other things so they would get plenty of usage. What do you think? Bad for running? Which one would be better? --- |

Why not 6 or more?I dunno, this is just the question he asked our discord server, and it's basically the exact kinda problem that bernoulli trials solve. --- |

| Nanaimo-Bar 06/02/20 1:38:50 PM #1 | My friend is trying to calculate some shit for a video game he plays competitively I think. Basically though, his problem comes down to: Given a 1/3 probability of success, what are the odds that over 60 attempts he'll succeed exactly 6 times? No, I'm not asking you to do my homework for me. I did some googling for him and found out about Bernoulli Trials to calculate this for me, and found that the answer was roughly ~0.002%. Incredibly unlikely. However, we changed a couple of the parameters to see. What if we reduce the number of successes and attempts from 6 and 60 respectively, to 1 and 10, does that affect things? Turns out it affects them a FUCKTON. It boosted the probability of getting that many successes from ~0.002% to ~8.6%. Literally 4300 times more likely to succeed. I even ran some tests of both to see if were correct. Sure enough... https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/206112433809522689/717425849711722496/unknown.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/206112433809522689/717429517454540820/unknown.png (ignore the comments in the second one lol) This is just wild to me. It's the same ratio of successes to total attempts. But somehow it being a little bit smaller of sample size, even if it repeats over a million times, results in a 4300 times better success rate. There's gotta be some of that math magics involved here somewhere, right? --- |

I guess that's where that person on reddit got their info from, so it's legit. --- |

Official sources are being more conservative, saying within "weeks". The "hours to days" estimate is just what I heard from Filipinos posting on Reddit. Here's a CNN post about it (blah blah CNN, it's not political so whatever) https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/12/asia/gallery/taal-volcano-eruption/index.html And here's a map of the area around Taal https://i.imgur.com/Nst88wb.png --- |
