cr1901 changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, CD/floppy disk theory of operation, and the 68k CPU are also on-topic.

I like math :-)
<alexisvl>
glad someone does. i'd be screwed without an army of nerds on whom to foist my math needs
<qu1j0t3>
alexisvl: Oh? Where do you find this army?
<qu1j0t3>
alexisvl: i mean i'm happy to TRY to help on any annoyance. my self taught math is, well, at least i know when i'm beat?
<qu1j0t3>
alexisvl: sounds like you should ask in here lol
<cr1901>
Sarayan: Referencing my thread?
<cr1901>
Sarayan: FWIW, the context of why I wanted "large ints" was "I wanted to demonstrate to someone who doesn't know much about computers the power of binary search." 1/2
<alexisvl>
qu1j0t3: at work :D
<cr1901>
And 'guess the number, but the number can take on a ridiculous range of values' was my toy app
<qu1j0t3>
alexisvl: Nice!!!! blessed
<qu1j0t3>
my mathematician friend is basically inaccessible now so i just assume i'm on my own for everything
<cr1901>
I guess 128 bit ints is "good enough" tho.
<Sarayan>
cr1901: I don't think a distribution defined as "uniform over all positive integers" exists fwiw
<cr1901>
Probably not, which maybe should've been obvious to me, but oh well :P
<Sarayan>
Yeah, you can't satisfy the second Kolmogorov axiom
<tunixman>
that's numberslang!
<cr1901>
Take the limit as n->infinity where "n" is "number of integers in the distribution" :P
<cr1901>
And each individual event has probability 1/n
<andlabs>
wait what are you trying to do
* tunixman
stares into flashbacks...
<Sarayan>
cr1901: which means 0 at n -> inf, and 0*inf is undefined, not 1
