Tbh, I'm really not sure why something like this should take 15 seconds to compute. That's roughly a few trillion floating point ops for a problem that has been solvable for decades. I have trouble imagining any reasonable model for mapping price -> sales needing that much compute. Also, fwiw, I really wouldn't expect clients slider clicks to follow a normal distribution. A normal distribution occurs when you have th…
Re: I Solved a 7-Day Calculation Problem in a Weekend
#21Yeah, this is like if you asked your friend how much more productive they think coffee makes them, and they replied with a four hundred thousand degree polynomial over the milliliter. Reality is never that predictable; reasonable people can recognize when they have run out of significant digits. Something has gone severely wrong in your data-modeling, your invocation of the model, or both. If it actually is doing compute for 15s, then to the extent that this works, it is wrapping a vastly simpler function, which I would suggest you graph and use going forward instead. It will save you the runtime, its outputs will be more reliable, and you will get actual insights.
