@matt_birchler I feel like there may be a divide between people who are not proficient coders and those who are. I wonder if this is like traction control or ABS for drivers: super helpful for novices and intermediates, but experienced drivers may find that it gets in the way and makes them slower. I work with professional developers and can say I do not typically see the same unbridled exuberance that some show on social media, etc.. Folks tend to be more deliberate in their application of AI.
@powerllama @joesteel Were the included Apple stickers normal size or GIANT?
@joesteel Okay, if you make it green and bold the dollar signs, I’m onboard with the idea!
@joesteel Wow, Joe, way to go centering the USA in this UI intended for a global audience. ;)

@augieray @Susan60 The probability of not getting infected on each of N rides is 0.9825^N, so the probability of escaping infection after a month of rides under these conditions is ~0.35. Which leads to the conclusion that the probability of getting infected by ANY of 60 rides at 1.75% each is around 65%.

Which is uncomfortably high - but not guaranteed. :)

@augieray @Susan60 Probabilities don’t sum quite like that. In this case, a 1.75% chance of being infected per ride corresponds to a probability of 0.0175. A month of train rides is 60 trips and there are many ways to get infected in 60 random tries, but only one way to stay healthy and that’s to not get infected EVERY ride. The probability of not getting infected on a single ride is 1 - 0.0175 = 0.9825.

@joesteel This could be influenced by the amount of free space on your volume. If it’s very low, the system may be more aggressive about purging things. Just a guess, I don’t know about this particular implementation.

@bradwilson @jenniferplusplus @davidfowl @original_ejl You can be forgiven for forgetting because his last post was *1000 days ago*…
@bradwilson @jenniferplusplus @davidfowl How many bonus points if we can name the guy on the mic?
