The math chec.....wait, no. That math doesn't check out at all.

It is an older math, Sir. I was going to let them pass.

Ok, 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.

If you don't think of the increase in speed of new users as continuing to increase exponentially.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Isn't that the point of the exponent in the exponential function?
