@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 What if we put the calculator into orbit?

@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 that will make you a solid B student instead of a C- student

@MartinEscardo Pentium based, I assume.

@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.

does it also boil the ocean?

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 much productivity, such efficiency wow! Clearly this is the future

-
@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

@ehproque @MartinEscardo Even 95% if you burn the whole planet and then fill the orbit with data-center satellites

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

@MartinEscardo we haven’t reached peak calculator yet, just think of what the future holds!
