someone on SO said it can handle "up to 100k nodes"

2020-11-25 08:49:15 UTC  

I'm just trying to wrap my head around things that you've tried or haven't to look at this data... like comparing all the counties in a state looking not at trump v. biden but just at the mean, median and mode and breaking up for things like turnout rates that are way outside any other counties in the state

2020-11-25 08:50:24 UTC  

@realz you could filter by ratios that don't repeat more than X number of times

2020-11-25 08:50:45 UTC  

Just thinking that trying to highlight points of where to actually look for issues rather than just trying to drown in the data

2020-11-25 08:50:57 UTC  

@DrSammyD the connected components filter effectively does that

2020-11-25 08:51:09 UTC  

it gets rid of nodes that aren't connected to K other nodes

2020-11-25 08:51:17 UTC  

Ah...

2020-11-25 08:51:43 UTC  

You could divide the image up into bands of ratios

2020-11-25 08:51:52 UTC  

yea

2020-11-25 08:52:05 UTC  

I mean

2020-11-25 08:52:13 UTC  

`[1030, 1022, 996, 865, 762, 622, 610, 583, 493, 464, 421, 397, 384, 371, 347, 331, 330, 325, 315, 287]`

2020-11-25 08:52:17 UTC  

this is the top 20 hairballs

2020-11-25 08:52:38 UTC  

I can't split any one of these hairballs up

2020-11-25 08:52:40 UTC  

a ratio of 1030 appears in this data?

2020-11-25 08:52:44 UTC  

no

2020-11-25 08:53:01 UTC  

1030 reports are connected to eachother as having the same ratio within the threshold delta time

2020-11-25 08:53:10 UTC  

Ah I see

2020-11-25 08:53:27 UTC  

those 1030 reports must show up on the same graph in order to have meaning

2020-11-25 08:53:41 UTC  

I am hoping I can fit 20 of them

2020-11-25 08:53:54 UTC  

the thing is, without the full graph, we won't see how rare this is

2020-11-25 08:53:58 UTC  

we are selecting for it

2020-11-25 08:56:13 UTC  

Could you imagine if it appeared here as we're doing this, but never in other cities...

2020-11-25 08:56:41 UTC  

"So much fraud, we couldn't even render it"

2020-11-25 08:56:46 UTC  

lol

2020-11-25 08:56:53 UTC  

I been through this

2020-11-25 08:56:59 UTC  

"can you imagine if you find P=NP"

2020-11-25 08:57:46 UTC  

isn't P=NP the minesweeper problem

2020-11-25 08:58:37 UTC  

uh I dunno if minesweeper can be framed as a P vs NP problem

2020-11-25 08:59:16 UTC  

lol

2020-11-25 08:59:26 UTC  

it apparently can be framed as a minesweeper problem

2020-11-25 08:59:32 UTC  

but it would not be a typical game lol

2020-11-25 09:00:10 UTC  

this is kinda beautiful

2020-11-25 09:00:24 UTC  

I've proved another game to be NP-hard, and it looked like this sort of thing

2020-11-25 09:00:47 UTC  

`The link to the computer game comes when we introduce the
Minesweeper Consistency Problem. This is not to find the
mines, but to determine whether a given state of what
purports to be a Minesweeper game is or is not logically
consistent.`

2020-11-25 09:00:54 UTC  

it is not a regular game of minesweeper

2020-11-25 09:01:05 UTC  

oh gosh my mind

2020-11-25 09:02:47 UTC  

Sorry... I just remember a prof trying to explain it to us and using minesweeper as an example... its been long enough since I thought about it so I can't speak intelligently on it

2020-11-25 09:03:29 UTC  

Traveling Salesman Problem is the classic example

2020-11-25 09:03:33 UTC  

I just remember its one of the classically difficult math equations to represent and prove or disprove
