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

        @MartinEscardo Maybe the calculator is correct 99% of the time on some well documented techniques... and poorly efficient on advanced stuff (<55%)?

          @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.

                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.
