I just noticed that there is not always a "predictor of the day". For example between 23 Apr 2020, 0:00:00 UTC - 15 Apr 2020, 0:00:00 UTC was no predictor of the day. And maybe today as well? Why? Did some people refuse to be publically highlighted? Or did the "predictor of the day"-service just crash in this time? Or did the results turn out to be invalid? I am sure some people crunched numbers hard in this time frame and deserve the spotlight ;-) |

The standing joke with 'predictor of the day' was awarding this distinction to users who dumped the project a decade or so previously, some with little to no credits. As to the hard work, the powers that be have a strict award standard now: RAC > 1. |

It would be better if Baker had badges. |

I looked at https://boincstats.eu/en/stats/14/project/detail/host (bottom right chart), it says, of all hosts: - 68,34% Linux - 27.5% Windows Then a wrote a quick script to grep all (visible) hosts by the predictor of the day: Windows: 448848 (90.5034015800107%) Linux: 47098 (9.49659841998927%) How does this add up? Is this just the work of the mighty random god? Or should I install windows right now to have a chance? ;-) FTR: Yes, I ignored Darwin/Android/FreeBSD/... |
