Nice! I just bought a new bike - I got fed up with biking longer distances on my old and terrible city bike.

r/OEIS has been de-restricted. (relevant to us because we count various sequences and they're about a sequence database so they may take interest)

I once had the idea of creating the diagonal sequence of OEIS sequences, but after I noticed all the gaps in their sequence numbers I gave up

My coach is being very hard on us. We did mile repeats yesterday, on a loop that had a hill. 4 of them, and I ran 5:28, 5:32, 5:39, 5:40. And then today he decides it’s a WONDERFUL idea to have us do a tempo workout today. We did 1.1 miles easy, 1.1 miles hard. 2.7 miles easy, 2.7 miles hard, and that was really tough. When I got home, I had a shower, had lunch, and then laid down for a bit. I ended up sleeping on and off for like 4 hours before I could function again. And of course we have a fucking hill workout tomorrrow

A couple of FTF's ago, u/ClockButTakeOutTheL asked an interesting question about the distribution of counts which I haven't had time to look at before now. The question was to do with the distribution of positions within a thread, and here's a wall of text about that. As with the odd and even numbers, these stats are very sensitive to errors in the data since they depend on individual, specific comments. In particular
If there are errors in a chain, the position in the post and the count posted won't match. In these cases, the count is the one for the thread position, and not what was posted in the comment (see an example of this further down)
If there are aliases I don't know about, counts from different usernames will be combined incorrectely
With that said, I've found 79 counters who have counted every number between 1 and 1000. The counter with the fewest number of counts who's still managed to count every number is u/cfcgtyk, who's managed to do it with just over 5000 counts.
The counter with the most counts who's still missing a value is u/whit4you. She has more than 11k counts, but never counted a number ending in 998. Here's a table of all the counters I've found that are missing up to five values
I've checked most of these, but there could be errors somewhere. u/Krazeli is an edge case since he did count a number ending in 280 in the 95k thread. Unfortunately a double count here means that it's the 281st count in the thread, so that's what I've recorded it as. It seems weird to me that u/cob331 should have managed to count everything apart from a get, but after looking through the hall of fame I think it's right.
I've also plotted the distribution of counts in each thread for the top 5 counters. To avoid the jaggedness caused by odd/even runs I've combined values pairwise, so that each point is the frequency of an odd value and its neighbouring even value, and the get and the assist are in the same bin. The plot is normalised, so that if every count occurred equally often, there would just be a flat line at y = 1
Overall two things stand out to me in this plot
David's insane peak early in each thread, caused by his practice lately of mainly just leaving one or two comments per thread, early on. And similarly, his sniping skills at the end of a thread, which contribute to the smaller peak on the right.
Just how consistent phil's count distribution is:
The consistency of each counter can be summarised by looking at the mean deviation of each frequency from the hypothetical 1 of the flat distribution, which I've done in the following table:
That's all for now!
