    @MartinEscardo You should try the new calculators, they are much better.

    @ohad @MartinEscardo Simply run the calculator in a loop that checks if it has yet produced the answer you're expecting. You'll be amazed what it can do.

      Amazing! My success rate is 60% at most. I'm going to switch to the calculator!

        completely off-topic, but there is a way to have an unsure calculator that is actually useful, as opposed to LLMs which arent even whten they are correct

        Link Preview Image
        Unsure Calculator

        The Unsure Calculator is an online tool that lets you calculate with numbers you’re not sure about.

          @MartinEscardo I was taught to do at least an order-of-magnitude mental sanity check every time I used a calculator - there's always scope for pressing the wrong button.

            You should try the premium version: it comes with custom skins, and sings results with donald duck voice.

              @MartinEscardo if your calculator burns half of the planet to operate you could get your correctness to 90%. Would that help?

                @MartinEscardo my reports are correct 85% of the time but that's ok, my boss is happy to double check them before sending them to our customers!

                  @MartinEscardo hello sir

                  i am not a mathematician, but the results look correct to me?

                  in fact i feel like a 10x mathematician now, i can calculate and calculate all the time

                      @MartinEscardo Reminds me the early Pentium FDIV bug in the mid 90s: Recommended mitigation measures were to verify the computing results using an older but reliable 486.

                        @MartinEscardo just give it autonomy and chain it to another autonomous calculator that verifies the results with an 80% accuracy.

                              @MartinEscardo just launch 100 calculators and pick the most common result, it should be fine

                                @MartinEscardo The real question is: your calculator burns significant quantities of methane every time you press "="? 😏

                                  @MartinEscardo Can you somehow make the calculator physically bigger? Bigger isn't better but it is inevitable and innovation.

                                      @fbulow @MartinEscardo

                                      If the calculator is only correct 80% of the time, one could use two calculators, so that the correct result appears at least on one of the displays ~96% of the time.

                                      As a side effect it would double the size.

                                          @MartinEscardo Have you already explicitly told your calculator to please calculate correctly? I've heard this helps.

                                          @forster @MartinEscardo you have to tell it to pretend it is a really good senior calculator with 20 years of experience
