why pay $20/month for Claude if you can run gigaslop_27b_q8 on a $20k GPU rig in your living room

@jackunheard You also gained one. :)

@mdt22_ @Griffin69211438 @SamRo "but that’s answering a different question." I literally said that the whole time. The premise is broken.

@6digitstudio @Griffin69211438 @SamRo your take on financial literacy and how people shouldn’t play the lottery: sure, valid. but that’s answering a different question. maybe your “always being broke” is telling

I love a financial literacy test that sees if you can pick the better lottery to play.

No, I never said they have no expected value, that would be insane. I said you should expect to win 0. If this nuance is lost on anyone, that is more alarming than the results on the original survey. If the expected value was 0 nobody would buy the lottery. This is an uphill battle, but to try to back of my point: "E: Don't gamble" Which one would you pick now? If you pick anything but E, you are financially illiterate. Being good at math/statistics is not the same as financial literacy.

@6digitstudio @Griffin69211438 @SamRo it is not a trick question man😭 “expected winning” has a clear and real definition, and value in this context. expected outcome question DO have implications on financial situations. you didn’t “reject the premise”. you said they both have no expected value (being incorrect)

I didn't "misunderstand the question", I obviously refuted the premise. The fact that this seems to be hard to pick up is saying quite a bit about English literacy in this thread. I do math at University level, I've been coding for 40+ years. I am always broke. This makes me financially illiterate, but above average good at math (see, I understand averages). I can solve the question EASILY, but that is a concept that is COMPLETELY ORTHOGONAL to my financial literacy; my ability to handle money. But I am not so financially illiterate that I calculate percentage chances of winning the lottery, because that would literally be insane. The test is obviously bad. You not rejecting the test on bad design in a test for financial literacy, which is literally defined as "money skills" is frankly quite alarming. It is at best a trick question, and the (only) correct answer is "Don't play the lottery if you don't have money to burn".

@6digitstudio @Griffin69211438 @SamRo reality defines “expected outcome/winnings” as a statistical concept. note: the question wasn’t “should people w/o extra cash buy lotto” crazy how eager you are to die on the hill of “obviously misunderstood the question”

@Griffin69211438 @mdt22_ @SamRo This is the difference. You define "financial literacy" as "good at math". I define "financial literacy" as "good with money". We are probably 100% in agreement on everything if we just decide which definitions to go by.

@6digitstudio @mdt22_ @SamRo Which has the higher expected savings? Note a few things 1. the conceptual understanding being tested here is the same as in the original question 2. answering the question does not automatically tell you which thing to pick! 3. this is relevant to financial literacy

Not playing the lottery is the only correct answer. Let me ask you this, Griffin. If you have a friend who is bad with money, do you sit him down an afternoon and calculate which lotteries have the best chance of a payout? If so, you are financially illiterate. If you tell him, "Hey, Greg, let's spend that money on beer instead of the lottery", you are financially literate and you also seem like a cool dude to hang out with.

You seem to be interpreting my answers as an answer to the question posed. That was never my intention, the answer is obviously dismissive of the premise of the question, not an admission of ineptitude in statistics. I said it was bad test-design. It IS bad test design. Your question is a lot better and it also is an example of actual financial literacy. But again, I'd be hard pressed to find people having to buy cars on a day-to-day basis. But your test actually measures financial literacy.

@6digitstudio @mdt22_ @SamRo Imagine the following question: deciding between two cars that cost the same. The gas one is more efficient than your current car and will save you 2.5k/year. The electric will likely (70%) save you 2k, but there’s a 30% chance electricity gets cheaper and it saves you 4k

@iBuild Microsoft on the eternal losing streak. I cannot remember the last time I saw so consistent long term mismanagement, to be honest.

microsoft has banned employees from using claude code. we're so back, baby!

@Griffin69211438 @mdt22_ @SamRo Also, I am working by this definition of financial literacy. Happy to work by any other if that suits you better. Making informed , effective decisions with your money is diametrically opposed to playing the lottery.

@6digitstudio @mdt22_ @SamRo lol the question was what the expected return on the lotteries were and you thought it was about whether you should play the lottery part of financial literacy is understanding how to make investment decisions. it’s genuinely shocking that you’re digging your heals in on this

@Griffin69211438 @mdt22_ @SamRo I stand by it: If you start calculating the chances in percentage of winning the lottery as if it can have any positive bearing on your financial situation, you are by definition financially illiterate. Happy to end it here and say we "agree to disagree".

Most Americans, by a WIDE MARGIN do not invest in assets on a day-to-day basis. THIS is statistics, this is percentage calculation. The only thing you need to know to answer this question is "DO NOT PLAY THE LOTTERY". Financial literacy is the set of skills and knowledge that allows you to make informed, effective decisions with your money. If you ever start calculating percentage chances for winning a lottery, you are financially illiterate in the most literal sense. I am not saying that the people here that actually calculated it are financially illiterate, they were baited into using the wrong methodology on a practical question. I'll chalk it up to bad test-design, and conclude with chances are we're probably in complete agreement on the details in the calculation, also how statistics work.

@6digitstudio @mdt22_ @SamRo To further clarify: expected return and variance are statistical concepts

@Aron_Adler I'm happy to report that it doesn't! It's all about perspective, my friend! Turn that frown upside-down!

saddened to report that vibecoding sucks like 90% of the joy out of programming

@Griffin69211438 @mdt22_ @SamRo I'll bite. What is a statistical concept I am likely to use in day-to-day finances? I'm happy with a single example.

@6digitstudio @mdt22_ @SamRo statistical concepts aren’t that rare in day-to-day finances. they become important when it comes to long run decisions like investments, particularly in assets with future valuations - where you want to know both expected return and its variation (a measure of risk)

@Griffin69211438 @mdt22_ @SamRo The only financial literacy you need to know is this: Don't play the lottery unless you have money to burn.

@6digitstudio @mdt22_ @SamRo expected winning has a different meaning in statistics than what you’re thinking of. it’s not literally “what do i think i’ll win if i play this once” it’s: if i play this game many many times, what is the average winning i would get per play

@HemantDotDev Started at 9. Which means I now have 43 years experience.

Be honest, What age did you started coding? I am at 41.

@mdt22_ @SamRo The cost of the ticket doesn't matter, you should expect to win 0, because it is overwhelmingly likely that you will win 0. If you truly EXPECT to win given those odds, I am sure you're a favorite "customer" on the Las Vegas strip.

@6digitstudio @SamRo “should be”, sure. but it never says the cost of a ticket. assuming they are both free to play (and you can only play once): - A has $10 expected winning - B has $9 expected winning
