    I have a calculator that is correct 80% of the time. But don't worry, every time I use it, I check the results myself.

    @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.

      @MartinEscardo
      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.

                                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 These things get better and better. Might be correct 90% of the time by 2027!
