I agree with the author that we should avoid feelings of resentment towards people who are successful. However it bothers me that the author classifies trace of a matrix as math trivia. I think sometimes people will categorize their curren

It seems that this subpixel convolution layer is equivalent to what is known in the neural net community as the "deconvolution layer" but it is much more memory and computation efficient. The interlacing rainbow picture was a bit

These questions are indeed atrocious. The author's point would have been better served with these real examples. Over-exaggerating is like jumping the shark, and makes it difficult to entertain the premise.

If the IQ test anecdote about the horse is real I'd like to see a source. It's extremely hard to believe that even a malicious scientist could convince himself that a horse cannot be ridden into town. > One question in the earl

I think the author was trying to say that there seems to be no simple pattern. The original sequences are meant to demonstrate how hard it is to see a pattern. However, a relatively recent empirical discovery found very simple statistical b

I think there is a bug in the program. Dropping 900,000 needles gave pi = 3.139 which seems pretty bad

The Lebesgue measure could be a candidate for the measure you are asking for. Creating a bounding box around the convex set in question and then scaling, we get a probability measure (measure of the entire set is 1). Some sorts of random wa

The author draws a distinction between computing expected value of a random variable and computing the volume of a convex set, but from the point of measure theory, both are computations of integrals. So maybe the definition given from the

I don't understand how the author's estimate is justified. He wants to take the probability that the margin is within 2 million and then divide by two million? Maybe he is appealing to some limiting argument? But we are presumably

It must be that, once you re-arrange the pieces, you transform the rectangle with a hole into a shape that looks like a rectangle with no hole but is slightly caved in.

Can you please explain what it means to "be a sock puppet?"
