Life inside the confused and curious mind of a nerd. Consequences of the Halting Problem: Gödel’s First Incompleteness Theorem. In my first post on this blog. I defined and proved my favorite fact: The halting problem is undecidable. You should probably read that post if you don’t know what that means, but in brief, it means that it is impossible to write a computer program that will always correctly tell you whether any given computer program will run forever or eventually stop.

Measuring the Difficulty of a Question (What Complexity Theory Is) | Solipsist's Log
http://www.solipsistslog.com/complexity
Life inside the confused and curious mind of a nerd. Measuring the Difficulty of a Question (What Complexity Theory Is). Suppose you’re given some clear question with a well-defined answer. Computer scientists often like to consider number-theoretic questions, such as “Does 19 divide 1547 evenly? Some problems’ difficulties take a second to figure out. For example, is it harder to figure out what the square root of 15,129 is or to count the squares less than 15,130? Is it easier to count the squares less...

Cash Samples Are Normal. NoahSD's Awesome Poker Blog. The Vouching System Sucks. Posted by Noah Stephens-Davidowitz. On August 9, 2011. The vouching system, which the poker community uses to conduct almost all of its business, is ripe for scamming. I made a post about this. Once before, but it was a bit schizophrenic and poorly argued. The Jose Macedo scandal and this thread. Vouches that say nothing mean nothing. When you do use a vouch, only use vouches that actually say something. Vouches based on fri...

I assume that if you’re a reader of my blog, you probably know that the shit has just abruptly hit the fan. (If not, just hop on your favorite poker forum or media outlet or twitter or whatever, and see for yourself.) A lot of you probably have a significant amount of money online; I do too. This is likely a multibillion dollar case of bank fraud, so it’s ...

Cash Samples Are Normal. NoahSD's Awesome Poker Blog. Cash Samples Are Normal. I claimed that the distribution in earnings of a NLHE 6-max cash player is essentially normal over a sample of at least thousands hands. I didn’t bother to justify my claim because I figured nobody cared. However, for those who do care, here’s a quick fudged argument and the real argument:.

Cash Samples Are Normal. NoahSD's Awesome Poker Blog. The Benford’s Law Hustle. Posted by Noah Stephens-Davidowitz. On March 9, 2012. Hi, poker blog readers! I was going to post this on my new nerd blog. And maybe I’ll do that as well. But, I figured that poker players might like this, even if it’s not strictly related to poker. Here’s how you do the Benford’s Law Hustle :. Bet on one and two. Give your opponent both eight and nine. Make an absurd profit. Since you’re laying 2:1 and your opponent/s...
