    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.

              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

                  @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.
