Can I note use super() outside of constructors?

The good news is that I've cut the map loading time from 15 s to 3 s. The bad news is that the map is horribly distorted.

Whee! Fixed it.

Uh... Could someone tell me what is the formula for the probability of X successes on Y attempts?
18:38 AnnoDomini is now known as Lerhir
18:46
<@Lerhir>
At least X successes, is what I mean.
19:00
<@ToxicFrog>
Same as the converse of the probability of (Y-X+1) failures: 1 - (1-P)^(Y-X+1)
19:00
<@ToxicFrog>
Where P is the success probability.
19:00
<@ToxicFrog>
(I think that's right)

Lerhir: you're after binomial probability distributions.

<@Lerhir>
Thanks.
19:24
<@MyCatVerbs>
Ignore "method 2", that's scary.
19:25
<@MyCatVerbs>
Method 1 is straightforward, method 3 gives a faster-to-calculate approximation which is accurate enough for government work provided the number of attempts is huuuuuge and the probability of success on any one event is tiny.

Prof. Wineberg is expounding on neural networks.
19:41
<@ToxicFrog>
WINEBERG: And what is one of nature's most fascinating achievements?
19:41
<@ToxicFrog>
RICHARD: The turtle!
19:42
<@ToxicFrog>
WINEBERG: Yes! Exactly! And what- wait, what? Turtles?
20:03
<@Lerhir>
Is this Richard your classmate?
20:05
<@ToxicFrog>
Yes.
20:05
<@Lerhir>
Sounds like an awesome dude.
20:08 * Lerhir curses. Method 1 is for exactly X. I need for X or more.
20:20
<@Vornicus>
Get the ones for less than X
20:20
<@Vornicus>
Then subtract that from one.
20:22
<@Lerhir>
Yeah. I've figured that out. Thanks anyway, though.
20:40
<@gnolam>
Well, that's the bizarre Heisenbug fixed as well. Woot.
20:40
<@gnolam>
Now I just have to fix the "!#!½#" camera code.
