Minesweeper probability is usually talked about in late game, but I find the early positions interesting too. We’ll explore this a little, and talk about probability more generally.
2024LinkWe’re all too familiar with the normal distribution. But why? One may answer that the normal distribution shows up empirically very often. Someone else may answer that the normal distribution plays an important role in the central limit theorem. But I’d argue that the most special thing about normal distributions is their stability, and that these other properties are owing to the stability.
2023LinkWe can talk about probability with a shared understanding. But what does it mean to say the odds of rolling a 4 is 1/6? The exact meaning is a little difficult to say. In this blog, I’ll talk about the formal interpretation of probability, why it matters, and why interpreting is difficult.
