@brydonrobert @dorfmanjeffrey with the two non gold box excluded, the question maps directly onto the "one and one two heads coin" version i proposed. if you flip a coin at random and get heads, chances are >50% you picked the unfair two heads one. |
@jblowsmoke @elonmusk yes, yes it is true
if a is flipped 21 times, the probability of 21 heads is 1 in 2,097,152. the probability of flipping a head after having already flipped 20 heads in a row is
assuming a :
the probability of 20 heads, then 1 tail is 0.520 × 0.5 = 0.521 |
/u/bitusher: the key aspects as to why proof of work is so important and cannot be replaced by pos are: 1) distribution no scammy ico , premine or instamine is created and m https://t.co/xb2edfjmku |
@brucehoult i started off using straight double-float probabilities, but often had them rounded to zero while hacking. i figure that learning to read log-probabilities, e.g. recognize -0.69 as the toss of a and -4.6 as a 1% chance, is a reasonable price to be done with that. |

@mattymatt1371 @starstrickensf @geodesicvoyager then it's just p=1 or p=0 (unknown which) tho, lack of knowledge doesn't magically make it a flip |
@samswey randomness can look surprisingly bon-random in small sample sizes. i repeat this over and over again when i teach stats classes. you flip a coin and have it come up heads 7 times in a row. doesn’t mean that the coin isn’t a . weird stuff happens. |
you might think that a would never do this poorly: but for all intents and purposes, he went 2-6. |
people think that getting heads 7 times in a row means you don't have a , but if you flip a coin enough times, then the chances you won't have at least one streak of 7 heads is actually very small. |
@c4llg0d if i offer you a game where you pay me $2 to play and then i flip a and if it lands heads i'll pay you $10, then it is still correct for you to play this game.
if the coin lands tails, that doesn't change this fact. |

@nickwh8te @jadler0 @iamdcinvestor @epolynya the problem with celestia seems to me how they can solve the problem of a distribution. eth had pow for years before going to pos. how is celestia ever going to rival this? |
in a random experiment, this is literally the probability of assignment via the allocation mechanism -- e.g. if you get a pill or placebo based on a -flip, your p(x) = p = 0.5. |
@ed_shakes1 and that sampling error assumes a population that's all alike - a , tossed the same way time after time.

@nntaleb @thebondfreak on the other hand, 97.5% of long-only traders in $spy have profited year-to-date. and 0.4% that made more than buy and hold have reasons to believe they have more skill than those who are making 10%. https://t.co/lqprsvxlak |
@honigstein say i have a and i flip it and you call heads or tails, but it turns out my coin had heads and something else. if you bet on heads, you have a 50% chance of winning, regardless of what's on the other side of the coin. |
this lets you "run the program backwards." the random number generator returns both the value and the relative likelihood of that value.
if you ask it to toss a ten times and *always get heads* then it will gladly do that but also return the likelihood as 0.098%. |
@orionwl give 1000 such people each a , and have them flip it at decisive moments, and ~63% odds that one of them will flip heads every time and write a book about their success and how they believed in themselves or some bullshit |
if i flipped a coin 58 times and got 30 tails and 28 heads, is that proof the coin is biased in favour of tails? or is that a likely result for a ? the novak-rafa h2h just tells us what we already know. novak dominant on hc and rafa on cc |
p(x) workout:
we have p(k, n) = (n k) / 2^n for a binomial distributed process. assume we toss a with p=0.5, what is p(x=10) where x is the event we get n heads in a row?
1/n |
@chrisfcarroll no. a is a point prior on theta=0.5. |
@stephensenn “uniform prior on a binary event” means it's equivalent to heads/tails on a ? |
@robert69619951 @joshmeyerrx imagine a and you flip it 20 times and get 20 tail. this outcome is just as likely as any other outcome you can imagine (i.e. 10 head, 10 tail etc.). |
@al8xr as in, even a completely will produce 10 heads in a row, but it's very unlikely to do so (0.01% chance) |
everybody’s all worked up trying to figure out which ‘64 worlds janine gave egon. i’ve made my guess from a preliminary search and boy i hope i’m wrong, because that’s not a cheap coin to find. |

@jamesroloff @asliajay_ @ercwl number of nodes doesn't mean anything? that has the selling point from bitcoin maxis all these years when talking about concentration in mining.
pow removed but allowed distribution, now can move to pos with coins across mlns of wallets.
leadership is not that bad. |
also quite common for none of the actual outcomes to be near the average. even a flip is ev = 0 but a single flip is all or nothing. this is a reason many serious bettors bet in volume. |

@binance fai̇r coi̇n %36000 |
@lethargicmeteor bayesians would say: “a was flipped, and i don’t know which way it landed, so the probability of heads is 50%”. a ‘subjective’ interpretation which treats the parameter (probability of heads) as a random variable itself, not fixed. |
@mobiuspoker could i talk you down a rabbit hole on this one? say you flipped a infinite times:
h= “lucky”
t= “unlucky”
streaks of either are likely. corrective streaks are likely, over infinite flips. but it’s possible for a t streak to not correct over a human lifetime, no? 1/2 |
i just flipped a (fair) coin. you did not see the result. what is the probability the coin is heads? |

@anellytics got it my bad i misinterpreted thought you were saying ot was the weighted coin. at yeah for sure agree. flipping weighted coin > flipping |
@bewisecrypto1 @rob_gryn this is fair. coin market cap slacking i guess. unless the hero team is itself and never worried about updating it |
@drjenmitchel @wallaceucsf if you imagine a game where i toss a , and if you bet $1 on heads and it comes up heads, i give you $100; if you bet $1 on tails and it comes up tails, i give you $0.01, and in any other case, you get $0, the intuitive thing is to just bet on heads. (14/x) |
@wallaceucsf consider the simplest fair game, gambler’s ruin. flip a . head, win $1. tails, lose $1. start off with some initial $. your average holding $ with a small # flips is your starting amount. but with large # of flips, you will have $0 because you can’t go negative. /2 |
the law of large numbers is not something you should forget about. especially as a discretionary trader. the probability of you flipping 10 heads in a row in a flip is 1/1024, think about how many traders there are. are you really a god? or just lucky |
@guangguang168 @decredproject the situation is a bit nuanced.
excessive mining profit and asic centralization leads to persistent selling pressure at worst times.

@cubosco and not that i’m a soccer fan at all, but why wouldn’t a lesser team keep everyone back on defense and try their luck in a shootout? ot rules are never quite fair. coin flip shouldn’t decide any nfl game. |
@econdavid @harisazizk @tjaldred i like the two sealed bids idea better as well, just because it allows both sides to bid equally. i'd like xis to be chosen after the bids are opened. this will probably moderate the bids. i'm curious about the significance of "you cut, i choose" if its a . |
@marketcharts nice chart! it is a bit mean reverting, right? a constantly flipped runs into a "10 consecutive flip result" of 2 heads and 8 tails. some time within the next twenty serial 10 flips, it'll revert to 5 heads and 5 tails or even higher. markets adhere to this phenomenon. |
@_b1gdawg @seldo not only is there so much thing as a , there is no way to know.
but that’s a different discussion.
and as long as the person calling it doesn’t know how it is weighted it doesn’t matter if it is fair. |
oftentimes, the passage in which the answer to a yes/no question can be found contains so many rich terms that the answer is not obvious without further definitions for those terms; luckily, you can get always reach 50% accuracy on this task with the flip of a . |
why is that? if s is our random set of n/2 potatoes, and t is the set of the remaining ones, what we get at each weighting is a bern(weight(s)/(weight(s)+weight(t))).
if all 🥔s are created equal, this is a flip! but if they're not, then this is a biased coin...
6/ |
@seldo that first sentence is generally correct.
sometimes.
the second?
the average person is—100 questions later—no one. more data can lead to less certainty.
flip a twice. half the time you’ll find it fair.
flip it 1m times you probably won’t. aren’t getting 1/2m heads. |

also: if you flip a 100 times and experience a run of 20 heads in a row...that is akin to 'luck', not an 'edge' (or, bias in the coin; it is still random). so even if you got lucky once or twice with a stock, the vast probabilities are against you...good luck ;-) |
@algostack1 not hitting my stop level, which is a good thing. to be fair #coin is in for its vc side rather than current ops. so down in the low%, high risk end. |

test tuesday! can you answer this question from our quantitative methods quiz?

@kevinsekniqi @jbrukh assuming it’s a , we shouldn’t play the game at all (ev 0). same answer from kelly —> 0.5 - 0.5/1 = 0 |
on p-values: a rescaled distance of what you observe from what you expect under a model can never be controversial. that's like saying if you have a and do 100 flips, you expect 50 heads but observe 77. so let's ban the number 23 (=100-77).

@mathtechcoach @geogebra doesn't need to be a either. could expand(3h/5+2t/5)^3 and get the correct probabilities. |
it's far better to buy a wonderful coin at a fair price, than a at a wonderful price |
@ihmzii @kadenafeed @shotsbymatta there were critics about this. but look at other tokens like solana. at the end btc is the most at all. completely decentralised. beside it is eth. but no one wants to buy it anymore because it seems to be to expensive and you can’t make that much money anymore. |
@trustlessstate which “public goods” are prioritized on eth …reducing pollution externalities w pos or allowing distribution and miner turnover w pow?
do you get my pt? even “utilitarian” aims need value hierarchies
curious to dig in bc this is fundamental difference bw eth and btc |
@10kdiver would this be the same probability as: if you flip a six times, what’s the probability that it’s evenly 3-3? |
@danielteycheney @mythryll yep. i’m one of those consultants and make when it happens… but i still feel bad every time. my input is far better used strategically rather than as advice for a mop-up. |
@behindthegreen9 yeah i thought so, for 2023
your point re sheens says everything on media commentary that needs to be. this deal would have been in progress for many many weeks if not months. but less rubbish heat is not a bad thing. |
@pwr2dppl @nikhilbukowski people use the word odds colloquially & will say, like, what are the odds of flipping a three times & getting heads every time? & they want the answer "1 in 8" but for *odds* it should be, like, the odds of 3 heads vs not in this sitch are 1:7
so i just avoid the word! |

@alexkontorovich here's another one for any fellow maths nerds reading.
if mr x tosses a n times, and mr y tosses it (n + 1) times, what is the probability that mr y tosses more heads than mr x?
and can you prove it in one tweet? |
@alexkontorovich never gonna be all heads, so must be the other one.
here is a great problem. you toss a and e(x) is the expected number of tosses before hhh comes up, and e(y) is the expected number of tosses before hth comes up. is e(x)>e(y), e(x) = ey or e(x)<e(y) |

@rudy_betrayed correct answer is 50% for a , given in your question it has already landed on head 4 times in a row. the correct answer isn't here. even if you mean what is the probability of getting 5 heads in a row, the answer is 3.125%. so only wrong answers available 😂 |
