In general for N total balls (N>1): Pr(R,R) = 2 / ( (N+1) (N) (N-1) ) * N^3 / 3 The N^3 / 3 is just the integral of N^2 evaluated from 0 to N. As N gets large, then Pr(R,R) approaches (2/3) because the cubic terms in

You’re just quoting from Sutton’s reinforcement learning book, which proposes a learning algorithm with a Markov process assumption. Markov processes are nice because they are simple objects and therefore have nice properties and solid math

Why are you using a Markov process though to model time-dependent likelihood pathways ? Doesn’t make sense. Your next step depends on much more than just knowing where you are at S. One needs to account for the history of where you were bef

There are 750 million Europeans , and maybe 4.5 billion Asians (6 times more in Asia than Europe). But the wait and difficulty is much more than 6 times if you’re Asian versus if you’re European.

Does O-1 bypass the country by birth quota for green cards? Or is this just a visa not permanent residency?

This makes sense. I can imagine going to a Taylor Swift concert: being able to have reserved tickets at prime seating with backstage meet & greet afterwards would be a different level compared to stuck in parking lot and standing in cro

I think that’s one big difference between American and European life. Americans have more money, but Europeans have more time and stability. In my opinion though, if you’re affluent enough to go on 25k vacations, why are they not affluent e

Everything about the author's description of the "dream vacation" sounded awful. A proper vacation is being able to spend 2-3 months abroad and taking it easy with no specific plans. The author describes a highly optimized it

Has there been a piece of “art” that has been so accurate in describing their society something most people were blind to? MGS2 is a masterpiece of art in every measure.

How do you know the risk is low? There isn’t that much data on Boeing 737 Max, and one cannot apply data from other models to this specific 737.

This is where good simulations are useful. If you can show even in ideal simple data scenarios, you encounter inference problems, it’s a strong signal that real data has little chance of doing better. In general these are model identifiabil

This. You’d be surprised how many papers get rejected by Nature “even” papers from Harvard. Experiment: randomly pick a “Harvard guy” in biology and check their publications, count what fraction of them are in Nature (or comparable journals

If you know your CEO can lead you to money, prestige, and status, you can paper over a lot of faults in the CEOs character. The lesson is to be so valuable that influential people will want to support you and back you up, despite any person

What about the open-office workers that can only work by putting on noise-cancelling headphones and pumping noise in their ears? Is taht not equivalent to gaming 8 hours a day?

Those skilled baristas are welcome to open up their own shop to compete though (which probably many do , successfully). Problem is VCs don’t fund coffee shops, otherwise Starbucks would be “disrupted” overnight.

Unsurprisingly, workers whose skills are in high demand and short supply (eg highly educated, highly experienced people) can demand better work conditions such as pay and commute flexibility.

Please explain why taxing people beyond $10M at 100% will result in better social programs? Your theory can also be countered with another theory: people making a certain amount of money will simply leave the country, leaving you with less

Ideally we should using technology to do what we intend to do. Unfortunately the reality is that technology uses us and makes us do things we normally would consider stupid.

This is spatial / geometric intuition is useful not only to talk about social structures, but helps to organize almost any abstract idea. In science, we talk of bridging fields, or filling in gaps, as if science is a landscape to be ex

Does a European start up have more stability than a big American tech company? I doubt it. Once money dries up a start up has to close up shop no matter where it is located.
