This is precise the argument at the penultimate time-step in the dynamic programming solution of the multi-round case. The other interesting aspect is that the expected returns are logarithmic, i.e, with y = (2p -1) x p log(x+y) + (1-

We can consider the limit T -> infinity to recover the setting with infinite number of bets (but need to look at the rate of growth, otherwise multiple strategies can give infinite returns).

In the result for multi-round bets, if we take the betting horizon T=1, we recover the result for a single bit. But the other way round is not obvious.

Any plans for a Linux version? That’s a bit selling point of Dropbox for me as it is one of the few syncing services that have a Linux client.

This is very interesting. Do you have a write up on the procedurally generated landscape part?

I teach an undergraduate control course that uses Matlab. I'd love to use Julia (I use Julia for all my research) but last time I checked, it was not straight forward to interface to hardware using Julia (our labs use Matlab to control

Thanks for the reply. I may still use it for simple examples (as it does fit all other things that I was looking for)

Really interesting programming language. I have been looking for a easy language to include simulation examples in my course notes, and EasyLang looks almost perfect. Only missing feature for me is support for matrix algebra (multiplication

In the true nerd spirit, shouldn't you check the pdf metadata to see if the resume was created by tex. I use TeX (well ConTeXt but not LaTeX, but that is a minor difference) for my resume, but without using CM or LM fonts. With Luatex,

Supernote does not do too much. It has an excellent note taking app, a quirky way to create word docs, a calendar, ability to read and annotate pdf/epub, an email app (which I found impossible to set up), and kindle. That's it. Yo

Intriguingly, log is computed by first doing a prime factorization. Perhaps that gives slightly more precision, but I always thought that prime factorization is way harder than computing log (say via an approximation of the infinite series)

I remember these short 20-30 page math books written for 6th-8th grade students by prominent Soviet mathematicians. Extremely clear exposition. About 30 years later, I still remember the contents of the book on logarithms, which gave geomet

The only trouble is that the last time I checked there was no sync client for Linux.

Depends on your needs. I am an academic and spend a large part of my day reading math heavy papers and taking notes as I read. A large screen eink tablet is more useful to me than a good graphics card :-)
