  • Worth noting is that what counts as an "active user" has changed between now and then. During the Reddit API exodus, an "active user" was a user who had posted or commented in the past month. Now, it includes users who have voted. If the 54k MAU record was set using the first algorithm, it is likely that the MAU using the new algorithm (which includes voting) would have been much higher.

  • Mobile apps should allow you to log into any instance. My Lemmy client won't connect to lemmy.rip either, and fails with the following error:

     
        
    The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “lemmy.rip”, which could put your confidential information at risk.
    
      

    This is also what I see when I try to connect to lemmy.rip in the browser:

    I am able to bypass this warning and see the site in the browser.

  • It has a dark mode now (on iOS, at least. Maybe they’ve got a different codebase for Android)

    Edit: Scratch that. Only the login flow has dark mode.

    TIL that the “S” in “Harry S. Truman” isn’t an abbreviation. His middle name was just “S”.

  • Or do think there's something special about the person that makes them flip tails more often?

    Yes, that’s the conclusion that the scientist has come to. The chance of getting 20 in a row is so extraordinarily unlikely that it’s reasonable to conclude that the chance is not 50/50 for that particular surgeon.

  • The normal person thinks that because the last 20 people survived, the next patient is very likely to die.

    The mathematician considers that the probability of success for each surgery is independent, so in the mathematician’s eyes the next patient has a 50% chance of survival.

    The scientist thinks that the statistic is probably gathered across a large number of different hospitals. They see that this particular surgeon has an unusually high success rate, so they conclude that their own surgery has a >50% chance of success.

  • not() is a base function that negates what’s inside (turning True to False and vice versa) giving it no parameter returns “True” (because no parameter counts as False)

    Actually, not is an operator. It makes more sense if you write not() as not () - the () is an empty tuple. An empty tuple is falsy in Python, so not () evaluates to True.
