first, a '' is literally fair.
second, if there is in fact no meaningful difference between the firms then asking for more paperwork is just a wasteful exercise in scrounging for a justification. just more dissipation of value in rent seeking. |
@toddjdavey @danielcherny he gets paid out doesn’t he?

@cubeapril really depends on your definition of random.
i think a lot of commenters are assuming the idea of a "fair" die into their definition of randomness--and if you're looking for a "fair" coin or d6, the computer will always win over something manufactured. |
@polyint @keendawg if someone offered you a price of $0.45 on the outcome of a hypothetical flip while others offered you as much exposure as you wanted at $0.25, would you buy at $0.45 just to back up your contention that a coin flip is worth $0.50? |
1. tossing a .
this is the simplest possible example. there are two possible outcomes, both having the same probability. https://t.co/acj3u8twja |
the expected value of heads in a toss is 0.5.
it doesn't mean i'm better at flipping coins if i flip a coin with expected value of 1.0, it means the coin had two sides that were heads, which can be loosely interpreted as "the opportunity was easier". |
@mathclubpodcast @mathforlove bonus: using a , design a game with a maximum number of "turns" that you have a one in three chance of winning. :) |
@mick0b @streaker_585 @freodockers suspect 1 year contracts at instead of high paying contracts in recent times - similar to what we did with mundy.
him and walters are 32yo next year. |
@mathforlove @mathclubpodcast i like your process of thinking. but the flip will be random and should not be any different than if you are bifurcating your thoughts based on what to choose based any number of external variables. randomness is conserved in other words. |
@mathclubpodcast @mathforlove if the player flips heads they have to choose rock. if a player flips a tails, they get to pick either scissors or paper (exclusive or). this projects the flip of one onto the game of rock, paper, scissors which has a 1/3 probability of winning. |
@mathclubpodcast @mathforlove just a thought… suppose we make rock, paper, scissors a game with choice of rock, paper, or scissors for one player decided by a toss of a . the one player cannot see their opponent until the selection is made. the rules…1/2 |

@annatated i am pro masking + air quality improvements but this framing makes me trust the chart less, since i know so many people who have gone to shows and not gotten covid
sure i guess it's possible to flip a and get heads like 30 times in a row but it's pretty unlikely |
@mgaforlife @youtwitface @cernovich say we play a game with 7 other people (9 total), we each flip a until one of us gets 4 heads in a row. i get 4 heads by the 5th flip. by the 7th flip, i'm still the only "winner". you accuse me of cheating because "no other player got 4 heads in a row" |
@mrjacklevin the amount of hate your getting is disgusting, your words are twisted, and how hexicans are turning on you is shameful. you seem like a good person and there are alot of people who appreciate your perspective. the launch is a good experiment. |
there is a game involving a being flipped until head appears. if head appears on a throw with an odd index (1st throw, 3rd throw, 5th throw, etc.) the player wins 1 usd otherwise it loses 1 usd. what is the expected payoff when playing this game? |
"there are no business problems, there are only people problems."
because the complexity of how humans function cannot be fit into neatly designed models that help predict what’s next as reliably as a toss. |
@ukaay_udo if you ask a group of good and bad people to toss a . you'll find out the chance of each person getting a head or tail is equal. there's no reason to why bad things happen to good people. but bad things happen to everyone, so does good things 😀 |
entropy is fairness. the unbiased state.
a weighted coin is lower in entropy, and a is the highest possible. engineered systems *cannot* be too high entropy because they actually have to do something predictable |
well its always a friday that sends the market into a stir. its do i exit before the weekend or has the selling finished. we have a buy on our strategy for $spy $iwm . sure i'm only partially as you never can predict if its going up or down with a . |
@luke_mcshane @mhdksafa let’s say you have a . you bet 5$ that it will come up heads and if it does you get $10 a $5 profit. so your expected return is $2.50. now what if there was a tax so if you won the bet you’d make $7.50 and not $10. are you trying to say you’d now increase your bet? |
in a coin flip game, you flip a until the difference between the number of heads and number of tails is 4. you are paid $10 at the end, but you have to pay $1 for each flip of the coins. usen =100000 simulations and find the expected amount

- a is tossed repeatedly. show that, with probability one, a head turns up sooner or later.
- show similarly that any given finite sequence of heads and tails occurs eventually with probability one.

@lltemaall and un 🪙😥 |
a program that runs von neumann's trick for using an un to simulate a returns the exact distribution of heads=1/2, tails=1/2. |
@disclosetv looked like fraud, numbers evolved suspiciously stable from 1% to 33% to 50% etc of urns opened; even in tosses, percentages of heads/tails change a lot back and forth until the sample is big enough |
@carmacasto @atheistintelli2 this analogy still leaves me confused. the other team likely also trained all season, so your odds are likely a toss-up. if i have faith my will come up heads, is that logical? |
fact: the automobile brake was not allowed to look directly at the request of a flip is 75/25 for heads or tails. |

efficiency demands a physical calculation per flip (manipulation is possible by even humans, drawing fire to the idea of a prior to convergence) as a superior method. aggregate collapse to binary output is undefined. all that is left is degree of belief |
understanding backwards compatibility is incredibly simple with “basic” probability. flip a “fair” coin, and it converges to 1/2 each side as flips approach infinity. yet each flip is certainly not 1/2 heads or 1/2 tails. nor is the predictive ability relevant for any given flip |
@cosmic_horizons @lukebarnesastro @wkcosmo misunderstood - yes. falsification requires at least two competing good explanations - experiment *decides between them*.
absent that, an experimental result might be simply “a problem”.
that “it came up 100 times” is a theory too. that it is also “a ” is *a problem*. |
suppose our experiment is to toss a independently and identically (that is, the same coin is tossed in essentially the same manner independent of the other tosses in each trial) as often as necessary until we have a head, h. let the random… https://t.co/mztoq6gg5n |
consider the toss experiment with ω = {h,t} and p(h) = p(t) = 1/2. https://t.co/scdd2mqsmy |
@washburnealex @1point618boy flip a coin one time and prove it is a , alex. |
the traditional view of p comes from symmetry as found in games of chance & early religious practices. it seems obvious that tossing a yields an equal chance for both sides. you then extend this to more complicated games of chance & so on. 2/x |
@vanillatary a part for the obvious bullshit behind it, even the rhetoric does not stand on its own merit. like, you can perfectly say "no, this streak of 127 tails with a does not disprove the binomial formula. this series of 100 heads and 100 tails confirms it" |
@lukebarnesastro @wkcosmo no, since such an outcome is compatible with the hypothesis. of course, it is just as probably as any other sequence. in practice, we should conclude that it is likely that the coin is not fair. the question is not “given a , how likely is it that i see 1/2 |
2) you flip a until you flip three consecutive heads. in expectation, how many flips do you perform?
this question can be solved via high school algebra but it takes a bit of cleverness/creativity to see how. can also be monte carlo'd. |
great article by dr michaela kiernan and @baiocchimike on statistical power: " the chance of detecting most effects reported in randomized controlled trials in medicine and other disciplines is currently lower than winning a toss of a " |
@grpwins don't know what kind of math you use. if you flip a 16 times, you will get 9 or more heads a little over 40% of the time. |
@johndelaney if we tossed a in the air 20 times once a day, the chance in any given day of a run of 20 straight "heads" is 1 in 1,048,576.
but we know this: one day, it will happen. |
if you flip a truly it gives you heads or tails randomly. tampering with the coin to make it heads 90% of the time means 1/10 vs 9/10.
we're still measuring 1 flip, so the fractions add to a whole. but the ratio of their probabilities now divides as 1/9 instead of 1/1 |
@muskuniversity @elonmusk @chainlink the smart-contract of the busyness pay ment etc its up to each part to design agree but payment should be in the not in other form of hack scam able system. |
@janedoe10227 @ultralandlord you clearly don't understand what does randomness mean. you could toss a 100 times and get 100 heads in a row. does it look random? no. but that's the nature of randomness. |

@insidethepylons or the probability of -flip? |
@andrew94315 @frank12271 @ethicalskeptic yes. and anything more than 2 or 3 standard deviations is pretty rare. 5 standard deviations means bizarre as hell. it's as rare as flipping a 20 times in a row and getting tails every time. |
@bmwiernik @schotz @fredoswald so, if the alternative is that all probabilities are equally likely, the probability of 4 of 7 is 1/7 or .143. the probability of 4 of 7 under the hypothesis is .273. given the data, the hypothesis is about twice as likely as the uniform alternative. |
you take what you believe to be a and flip it three times. it comes up heads every time. how should you update your priors about whether the coin is fair? |
@fredoswald fred, but that would be one of the most common misinterpretations of a p-value! https://t.co/1fvcljwqq2 surely, we have moved beyond this, and we know the correct conclusion is 'we can not reject the hypothesis this is a . it might be fair, or not." |
you flipped a coin: 4 heads and 3 tails.
observation: "hey, this coin is unfair!" (57% heads)
estimation: "hey, we need more coin flips!" (95%ci: 18% to 90%)
nhst: "hey, this might be a !" (p > .05) https://t.co/8m3zy6kgsk |
if kurst coeff is not = 0,5 => markets have memory (the opposite of a ) then arise the necessity for a "memory process" i.e, auto regressive process. an autoregressive (ar) process, remembers where it was. armovingaverage or arma, also arima, are key to describe markets |
@tbonier @unitedgeorgia that is not what happened. they weighted their data to account for this. gender composition is roughly flipping a coin. if i flip a a 100 times and you also do that i might get 52 heads but you might get 48 heads. this is noise. anytime you take a sample the demos vary. |
so this is just calling a spade a spade… there is a significant amount of randomness in grant selection ( especially near the cut) so might as well toss a ( fair) coin… still, i find it deeply unsatisfactory somehow… |
if you used a coin, do this binary thing, i guess?

a fair-coin toss yields 3 heads then it is highly likely that i will get a tail next, but the probability is still 1/2 mem-less |
i wasn’t a complete fool, i understood probability enough to know that there is a chance, however small, of a truly behaving in this way. that each new toss had a 50% chance of coming up heads.
but it never did.

toss a 100x.

@1_gutmensch @noamchompers @matthewadelste1 he's doing it that way? well, process reliability explains probability. just as a has probability 0.5 of landing heads, a process with truth ratio 0.99 has probability 0.99 of generating true belief that p. process reliability explains epistemic probability. |
toss a 10 times using your left hand. you end up with 3 heads. now repeat this with your right hand and the same coin. suppose you end up with 6 heads. is your right hand twice as efficacious at tossing heads? |
