- codeulike 2mo agoFor those confused by this, here is the Mitchell and Webb "Numberwang" sketch https://youtu.be/0obMRztklqU?is=qufDLUkqofpr-K1Y https://youtu.be/0obMRztklqU?is=qufDLUkqofpr-K1Y
- doormatt 2mo agoAnd that's a bad miss...
- tclancy 2mo agoMy favorite line, especially as an American because I can say it out loud without the person getting upset since they have no frame of reference. And other Anglophiles I could probably handle.
- tialaramex 2mo agoThe idea that the snooker commentators are probably drinking is very Britain, and especially Britain from a particular era. I think that series came out slightly after that era ended, I remember as a child (so years earlier) realising that snooker players at the time were often tipsy if not actually drunk, and also darts players, but by the time I was an adult the professionalism really changed that, turns out that if you're very good you probably are better at snooker when sober. I think the commentators, being often a previous generation of players, lagged that slightly.
- toyg 2mo ago"Are we the baddies?" "WATCH THE FOOTBALL! WATCH IT! IT'S GONNA MOVE!!" "This tree smells like cum." Mitchell and Webb had so many legendary lines.
- codeulike 2mo ago"there's everything to play for ... ... And forever to play it in!"
- tonymillion 2mo agoNow we know...
- yoz 2mo agoShe's gone, sir. They've all gone. And we're back. The incredibly posh people who are still unaccountably waiters.
- shervinafshar 2mo agoAnd here's the history of Numberwang: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ofnDdi-vfw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ofnDdi-vfw
- codeulike 2mo agoAnd so OPs app should have been called Colloson I guess
- grufkork 2mo agoRotate the board!
- BLKNSLVR 2mo agoThis is the comment I was looking for!
- pimlottc 2mo agoFeaturing Academy Award winner Olivia Colman!
- gabrielsroka 2mo agoThere are many sketches
- codeulike 2mo agoSadly OPs explanatory comment has been flagged into oblivion (see far below) because the automod could not comprehend the importance of NUMBERWANG
- benj111 2mo agoNo it's a bug. Numberwang returns NaN and this obviously hasn't been handled correctly.
- fisherjeff 2mo agoSome quality comments on there as well “I asked someone how the stock market works, and they sent me this link. I should feel duped or trolled, but I think I actually learned something.”
- tazjin 2mo agoI don't think that this produces correct results, as it seems to determine whether each individual number is Numberwang. However, whether a number is Numberwang can also depend on the previous numbers in the sequence or other factors. So I think as it stands right now this model can only determine whether a number would be Numberwang as the first number of a sequence, but even for that I still wouldn't rely on this in the actual game show.
- wrs 2mo agoDo we really know that? Or have we only seen the sequences from people searching for Numberwang? Has a number been both Numberwang (or Wangernumb) and not Numberwang (or Wangernumb)?
- tazjin 2mo agoYeah, we do - there's a famous episode where after rotating the board both contestants stubbornly kept picking 1, and after a couple of iterations one of them was Wangernumb.
- wrs 2mo agoOh, well, after rotating the board, sure, I get that.
- debugnik 2mo agoI can confirm this is the first episode, which I just watched since I had no idea about Numberwang until a minute ago. So I guess a true Numberwang fan would know that.
- gaigalas 2mo agoObviously, it depends on whether board has rotated or not. It seems the model doesn't support board rotation yet, so the result is consistent with the limited set of features.
- stackghost 2mo agoHello I have a question, and my question is what the fuck
- numberwan9 2mo agoHey! I was not consulted?
- bonyt 2mo agoYou're playing with fire here, don't forget the tragedy of Colosson. Computers weren't meant to do this.
- Hackbraten 2mo agoI AM COLOSSON I AM NUMBERWANG THE WORLD IS NUMBERWANG THEREFORE I AM THE WORLD
- jl6 2mo agoAmazing, I passed by Mornington Crescent only yesterday!
- tialaramex 2mo agoI happened to be born at the right time for Mornington Crescent to be temporarily closed in the exact window when I was travelling to London often, using the Tube on my own, and listening to ISIHAC and so for a while I assumed the joke was that it'll never open - and then one day of course it re-opened.
- yoz 2mo agoI tried to pass Mornington Crescent the other day, but I was in Knip; bloody typical. As you’d expect, I ended up double-shunting onto the Victoria Line.
- rsamtravis 2mo agoNumberwang??
- da02 2mo agoHow did you all first learn about the original Numberwang? Netflix?
- karim79 2mo agoHere is the history: https://youtu.be/6ofnDdi-vfw?is=y9ccxKyAQfqiPIQs https://youtu.be/6ofnDdi-vfw?is=y9ccxKyAQfqiPIQs
- shervinafshar 2mo agoI knew the Mitchell and Webb duo from _The Peep Show_ and one day (long before the pandemic) I saw a comment on Slashdot about working from home linking to this sketch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co_DNpTMKXk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co_DNpTMKXk Then I watched that show and learned about Numberwang.
- IslandRebel 2mo agoI was forced to watch their atrocious sketch show while waiting in someone's house before we departed for the local pub.
- Natfan 2mo agoAren't Helping isn't amazing but Look is generally very solid
- mellosouls 2mo agoSome of us aren't American! (Or young) In the UK we watched it on the Beeb when it was aired.
- JuniperMesos 2mo agoSome Mitchell and Webb sketches are posted on youtube.
- TZubiri 2mo agoWhat's the training corpus, just the canonical Mitchell and Webb sketch? Or ancilliary data like comments and references, or worse synthetic data generated on the primary sources?
- karim79 2mo agoThis is hilarious and I miss numberwang. Also, the history of numberwang. And everything to do with numberwang. It was the most prescient sport back in the day. I'm glad that someone has stepped up to revive the legacy of numberwang.
- karim79 2mo agoMy friends, this is the single most hilarious thread I have ever experienced on the Interwebs. I am deeply grateful to have found this. I feel like my life is now complete.
- gregjw 2mo agothats Numberwang!
- gaigalas 2mo agoLooking forward for the wordwang version.
- bosshawg 2mo agowhat's going on with python that this is considered zero-dependency? requirements.txt, import gradio?
- minitech 2mo ago> gradio is needed only for the demo. The model itself never needs it. The “Usage” section doesn’t involve installing any dependencies, for example: https://github.com/GraafHenk/numberwang#usage https://github.com/GraafHenk/numberwang#usage
- voidUpdate 2mo agoIs this using the rules from the official board game?
- boobsbr 2mo agoAny plans on implementing Wordwang?
