Hi, what is the probability of 1? i.e. $P(1)$ = ? (where 1 is the integer 1)

@QPaysTaxes I've hit an obstacle lol

@QPaysTaxes I meant what I wrote

How about $P(1 | Z| \leq y)$ where $Z \sim \mathcal{N}(0,1)$

where $|$ means conditioning, not absolute values

R. Kap

@QPaysTaxes It was probably Xfinity wifi

Jester Tran

P(1 | Z | <= y) where Z is standard normal distribution

ok

R. Kap

@QPaysTaxes Purple weighs 1.38843x10^-23 grams.

Well, an average truck weighs $134,000

:P

$<£

I think...

Yeah, thanks to the inflation of the Euro

Hello so confused, I am Kap

Dang it...that was the Pound, wasn't it...

Downgoat

@R.Kap I think he is just "confused" and so was just an adjective

R. Kap

>:(? You're mad ? I thought you were so confused?

Now I am so confused...

But I am Kap. If I am so confused then...I'm not Kap...

o_o

I am not confused. I am Kap.

You can go by more than one name. I'm known by several, depending on the person.

Downgoat

@Geobits I know youo as Geobits, AI, and owner of homicidal AI.

R. Kap

I am so, the confused?...

Geobits

@Downgoat I don't blame Marky for his homicidal tendencies. I blame the victims.

R. Kap

I didn't know I was an illusionist...

Maltysen

@Geobits for being so killable…?

R. Kap

04:19

Those always confuse me...

Geobits

@Maltysen Sometimes people just need to be killed, what can I say? :P

Alex A.

._.

Downgoat

@Maltysen every murder: "It's not my fault! He was just so... killable...."

Geobits

@AlexA. Don't worry. I don't think Marky's ever expressed a desire to kill birds.

Alex A.

Oh good

Geobits

04:20

Mainly goats. He likes curry.

Maltysen

@Geobits totally get what you mean. hey, on a completely unrelated note, can I hire marky?

R. Kap

"I had to kill him! He just had to be killed!"

Downgoat

@Maltysen ಠ_ಠ

Geobits

@Maltysen Uh, sure. I'll have him get in touch with you.

R. Kap

"That icky spider did not deserve a life..."

Geobits

04:21

@QPaysTaxes Well now, my dog loudly expresses his desire every time a bird flies over.

Downgoat

Hello @MarsUltor!

Maltysen

@QPaysTaxes do unicorn's hate birds or something?

R. Kap

My dog doesn't even care about birds

Geobits

@QPaysTaxes Nah. I don't have anything against most birds. Generally just anything peacock-sized or bigger. They have a tendency to go for the eyes, and I like having eyes.

Downgoat

@QPaysTaxes ಠ_ಠ

R. Kap

04:22

But...I thought unicorns fart out rainbows...

Downgoat

@R.Kap no, the rainbows come from the back of their neck. See @QPaysTaxes's avatar

Maltysen

@Downgoat no, they fart from the back of their necks

Downgoat

@QPaysTaxes ._.

Geobits

You're really a unicorn?? I thought you were just a horse playing dress-up.

Downgoat

@Geobits ssshhhh. Don't disillusion him.

Geobits

04:24

Right. Sorry.

R. Kap

Humans fart from their mouths and burp from their anuses.

Maltysen

@R.Kap isn't that like a muscle?

That is not a dragon...

Alex A.

Now now, let's not be racist. :P

Mars Ultor

@Downgoat Hello

Geobits

How would a goat know what a dragon looks like?

Downgoat

@Geobits I have seen Cᴏɴᴏʀ's avatar

Maltysen

04:26

@Downgoat I am a clay dragon

Geobits

@Downgoat There are many types of dragon. Just because someone looks different is no reason to pick on dhjem.

Downgoat

@Maltysen wat

@Geobits ಠ_ಠ that is not what I implied

Alex A.

IIRC his avatar is from a claymation show about dragons

@QPaysTaxes How can I be of service?

Downgoat

@QPaysTaxes you're a horse playing pretend

@AlexA. ಠ_ಠ

Geobits

@Dennis You could confirm the fact that Marky shouldn't need a reason to kill goats.

Dennis

Killing goats is allowed by meta consensus.

Alex A.

Does anyone need a reason?

Geobits

The mods have spoken.

Downgoat

@Dennis uh...

Dennis

Oh, I assumed you needed something because of the ping.

R. Kap

Geobits

Huh. Well that seemed a bit much.

Alex A.

Aaaand that's a rickroll.

Okay

Dennis

Nice try, Astley.

Downgoat

@R.Kap Kap is Adele confirmed eleven

R. Kap

Fine...I guess no one will ever know...might as well get a dell.

Geobits

What if rickrolling was actually started by Astley himself, to immortalize an otherwise soon-to-be-forgotten one hit wonder?

It would be pretty genius, tbh.

R. Kap

@Geobits Then he was a genius

Geobits

I mean, at this point, we're never gonna give him up. Never gonna let him down...

@Geobits @Maltysen I finally fixed my movement system :D

TY both for all the help.

I think (keyword: think) I did what you guys were saying.

var x = width - (Math.cos(toRadians(theta)) * hyp);
var y = ((Math.sin(toRadians(theta)) * hyp) + this.yStart);

then I basically just increased hyp++ for movement

@AshwinGupta what does niwhsa9 stand for?

Ashwin Gupta

@Downgoat its just my name backwards, I'm too lazy to remember my usernames for stuff.

Downgoat

ohh

Ashwin Gupta

Also, when I want to keep my name anonymous it works well since people don't realize.

@Downgoat ashwin9. idk why did he choose this GH username, though.

Downgoat

@AshwinGupta but you have your name right there on github ._.

Ik, I use niwhsa9 for everything

Idk, honestly its not me who came up w/ it. My cousin made me an account for a game when I was like 7 or 8 and I've kidna been using it ever since without thinking much about it.

@MarsUltor keyword: when I want to.

Mars Ultor

Pretty well

Ashwin Gupta

What?

Mars Ultor

But because of your GH having your name and username, it's not hard for people to find your name

Ashwin Gupta

@MarsUltor thats not really the point.

I mean if someone wants to go through that much effort to find my name thats fine

alright you know what

nvm

ur right, its totally irrational and unreasonably.

Downgoat

@AshwinGupta Ashwin is also a pretty common name, (I know like 3 ashwins (4 including you)) so using ashwin9 won't give off your identiy

Ashwin Gupta

@Downgoat true. But then I'd have to change all of my accts =/

plus, I won't lie this is sorta an OCD type thing.

Mego Corporation

The Mego Corporation was a toy company founded in 1954. Originally known as a purveyor of dime store toys, in 1971 the company shifted direction and became famous for producing licensed action figures (including the long-running "World's Greatest Super Heroes" line), celebrity dolls, and the Micronauts toy line. For a time in the 1970s, their line of 8-inch-scale action figures with interchangeable bodies became the industry standard. In 1982 Mego filed for bankruptcy, and by 1983, the Mego Corporation ceased to exist; today, Mego action figures and playsets are highly prized collectibles, with...

o7 Will do ... just as soon as my semester stops with all the assignments and the classes and the glayvin

Stewie Griffin

@Mego I see... Any in particular, or just all in general?

@Mego, there are only a few rules that restrict the challenge: Don't have 1x when you can have x, and don't have 3*x when you can have 3x, and don't use the power function. Those are all the rules there are...

The power function restriction makes it more of a regex-ish challenge, rather than a math challenge (as the math part isn't particularly exciting) =)

All the other stuff is actually there to avoid unnecessary complications, such as floating point constants and exponents, different variables (x,y,z...), spaces/no spaces etc.

Anonymous

@StewieGriffin That makes it somewhat of a chameleon challenge

Stewie Griffin

@Mego, I can see why you think that, but IMO it's a really simple spec... I believe that a chameleon challenge is a challenge where people use a lot of time trying to find out how to solve it, before they "suddenly" understand that the challenge is really something else than it seemed to be.

The first sentence says: with the restriction that using the "power function" (2^3, 2**3, pow(2,3)) is prohibited.

But sorry for "complaining". You're entitled to your own opinion of course... =)

I've disliked stuff others have considered good too =) OP (in this case me) is likely more positive toward his/her own challenge in 99.9% of the cases.
