“WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE”
I think I feel good about it.
Damn. I better get my shit in order
Why bother when there is so little time left?
You’re right, let’s just call this one and start fresh with the next.
You guys got extra lives?!?!
Meow!
Well, then I’m not paying my mortgage anymore.
Not me, I was only able to get 1033 year amortization on mine.
Nope, it only lets you go to year 2100.
It’ll probably be extended when we get 128 bit processors
Damn, just two days from retirement…
these estimates are going to change a billions of times and humans are probably not going to be there for the most of it.
All of it, they’re human estimates.
Oh no! I have concert tickets that day…
Well, it sure feels like forever.
Not fucking soon enough
fuck fuck shit fuck
Now I gotta rearrange my Google Calendar … again!
In all seriousness I wonder if GCal could schedule something this far in the future…
It requires 10^3 clicks
Just when I was gonna have as much money as bezos
For comparison, if you had a deck of 52 playing cards and shuffled them into a random order, then checked a year later to see if they were in the same order as when you opened the box, reshuffled if they weren’t, and repeated another year later, and so on…
We can use the cumulative distribution function of the geometric distribution 1 - (1 - p)k, where p is the per-trial probability and k is the number of trials, to find the chance that you’ll find at least one correctly sorted deck from now until the time in this paper. There’s a… Well, SageMath failed because of the exponent, but Wolfram Alpha tells me, uhhhhh…
Yeaaaaaaaaah, we’re not going anywhere any time soon.
Hopefully we can find a younger universe to move to by then.
THE END IS NIGH!!!
