Why can/can't I find my number in Pi?

If we view Pi as a big, random string of numbers (which is close enough for our purposes), then we can figure out the odds of finding any string in the first 100 million digits of Pi:

Number Length Chance of Finding

1-5 100%

6 Nearly 100%

7 99.995%

8 63%

9 9.5%

10 0.995%%

11 0.09995%

Happily, if you include the zeros, birthdays are 8 digits long -- so you have a 63% chance of finding your birthday in the first 100 million digits of pi. Note that if I added another 100 million digits, these odds would only go up to 86%, so it'll be a while before everyone can find their birthday in Pi.

I've also posted a more in-depth explanation of the probability of finding strings in Pi for people who are curious.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things.

If you have a glass pipe or bong and are out of weed, wet the

tip of a q-tip and scrub the inside of the bowl. Then peel off the cotton ball, stick it in your pipe, and smoke it.

the meaning-conferring acts, meaning-intentions. ... if the object intended is general or specific, then meaning ‘arises through abstraftion, but not through abstracftion in that improper sense by which the empiricist psychology and epistemology are dominated. [LI 337].’ in contrast to the act presenting an individual, the husserlian conception of abstraction refers to ‘a new mode of apprehension constitutive of the intuitive presence of the Idea,’ eidetic intuition.

for generality of meaning berkely and hume substituted a general psychlogical function of association [YES, KEY]. in a psychologicall regulated way the same sign is associated with differnent individuals which appear alike. the sign thus becomes a general name with which multpile like individual objects are associated. husserl points out correctly that generality of MEANING is something entirely differnet from generality of psychologicla function. generality of meaning is an ideal moment which “belonged to the semantic essence of the individual essence as such, as an indwelling meaning-form” [LI 374]

Mate, every ableton crack I've ever downloaded has stopped working within a few weeks... they'll always get you. I'm actually buying the software. Bastards.

No, I didn't ctrl-V this. LOL!

you have to set your host file in drivers etc to local host ip for ableton, otherwise you'll connect with their site, be 'un' validated and it'll stop working.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

open with notepad, and under where it says 127.0.0.1 local host

type 127.0.0.1 www.ableton.com

then save the file.

fixety. :grin: :grin:
