This paper argues that probability theory is a historically evolving form of rationality, tracing its development from combinatorial games to Bayesian inference and contrasting it with fuzzy logic and deep learning.
KL Zero is an interactive browser game where players draw a probability distribution to match a target KL divergence value, helping users intuitively understand the concept of KL divergence in machine learning.
A tweet shares a lecture at MIT by David Shirokoff covering the fundamentals of Markov Chains, including transition probabilities, Markov matrices, eigenvalues, and long-term steady state.
Jane Street offers $750k/year for quants who can apply Stochastic Processes and Markov Chains in trading, and a free MIT lecture covers similar material.
An educational essay explaining the Birthday Paradox math and its application to hash collisions in cryptography, covering probability calculations for matching birthdays and the historical context of Richard von Mises' contributions.
The article presents an elegant geometric proof for Buffon's Needle problem by extending the concept to curved 'noodles' and using a circle to determine the probability constant, avoiding complex integrals.
