This week the #puzzle is: How Long Is the River? #probability (Link at the bottom.) … a phenomenon known as a “river”, where spaces between words diagonally align from one line of text to the next. Before getting to rivers, let’s figure out where spaces are likely to appear in the (fictional) Fiddlish language, which […]

Cellular automata follow a deterministic approach. What if we roll dice with a cellular automaton ?
Some new experiments with cellular automata and probability are now available.

This week the #puzzle is: Can You Sweep the Series? #probability Let p represent the probability the Celtics win any given game in the [best-of-seven] series. You should assume that p is constant (which means there’s no home-court advantage) and that games are independent. For certain values of p, the likeliest outcome is indeed that […]

#CIA's Sherman Kent famously attempted to standardize "words of estimative #probability" (1964): https://philpapers.org/rec/KENWOE
Milczarski et al. find many WEPs seem commensurable across #English and #Polish: https://doi.org/10.1017/jdm.2025.3
I cannot think of an applied mathematics that is more beautiful and far-reaching, or philosophically wilder, than probability. No, nonlinear dynamics and chaos people, it’s not even close

Not what I expected!
More people preferred high diagnostic uncertainty than low, even though the higher uncertainty caused more worry.
