oh, do you need the exact fraction?

graffe

I guess not for this exploration

The numerator is prime which is curious

And the denominator only has small factors

@att it's just more fun when it is exact and you don't have to worry about floating point inaccuracies

@att I hope that if we can get above 30 we can get a better picture about the convergence limit

tio link for the c was too long

guess it needs some golfing

iirc the length limit doesn't apply to multi-line messages lmao

like you can just add a blank line at the beginning and it'll post

oh what the heck

multi-line also doesn't do markdown so it might be something related to that

graffe

@att -O3 let's you do 34

@att actually you need to add -march=native too

34 * 0.633445 = 21.537137

Your hypothesis is looking good!

-ffast-math helps a little too

@att I guess this is as fast as it can get?

att

can improve pmax

graffe

@att cool!

@emanresuA Trick question. There is and can only ever be one.

Just came back, and I'm wondering why you are all trying to optimize the function but keep it recursive

If I just take the python code and turn it into a dynamic programming problem, I can get values up to 150 on OneCompiler: onecompiler.com/python/3yf67mr93

(The code gets the exact values in Fractions, but I'm printing floating point values because they're easier to read)

Yeah, that's the main reason I changed it (in addition to not conflicting with <A with an accent>dam's)

att

ah that's a better approach

97.100.97.109

That looks pretty linear to me

att

22:08

almost got there by the last round :')

it's definitely not 1-1/e then

97.100.97.109

The best-fit linear regression on this is y = 0.624x + 0.299

emanresu A

(1-1/e)x + something

att

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golomb%E2%80%93Dickman_constant maybe

@97.100.97.109 more precision may help

@emanresuA 0.6244492817 * x + 0.2993085803

97.100.97.109

Hmmmmmmmmm... One of us messed something up (probably me)

Wait, I might be misunderstanding what the code is doing

I don't speak Mathematica

att

output is x->f(x)/x

97.100.97.109

Okay, that makes much more sense

I'm sure there is a simple recursion which depends solely on the previous stick lengths, but I'm too smoothbrained to figure it out

c is much faster tio.run/##hVFta4MwEP6sv@LoKGirbffCYLW2f6CwH9D5IY1JPUhj0Tg2Vv/…

I am not surprised

@Neil what happened lol

also yoo holy shit, im at 8k already, thx for all the bounties @user

i was literally at 5k just less than a month ago

Q: Calculate average characters of string

Task Your task is to produce string that contains average characters of string. First character of result would be average character of first character (which is first character) and second character average of two first characters and so on. What is average character? Strings are arrays of by...
