minus-squareColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·9 months agoThe math chec…wait, no. That math doesn’t check out at all.
minus-squareHupf@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·9 months agoIt is an older math, Sir. I was going to let them pass.
minus-squareTropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-29 months agoOk, fine, I’ll do the actual curve fitting instead of just estimating. Eyeballing it, were saying 1% in 2013, 2% in 2021, 3% in 2023? Gives us a fit of… 0.873 * exp(0.118 * x) So… Correct the equation and solve for x x_target = np.log(200 / a) / b Calculate the actual year year_target = 2013 + x_target print(year_target) In ~2058 everyone will be using two linux desktops at once.

minus-squareTropicalDingdong@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9 months agoIsn’t that the point of the exponent in the exponential function?
minus-squareagent_flounder@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9 months agoNaw, it just means everyone will have two Linux computers!

So…
Correct the equation and solve for x
x_target = np.log(200 / a) / b
Calculate the actual year
year_target = 2013 + x_target
print(year_target)
