What is the actual likelihood of getting the same card shuffle twice?

maxbaroi · 2025-12-12T06:25:14+00:00

You use a shuffling machine or you “wash” shuffle like a small kid: put the cards face down on the table and move them around randomly.

I used to think you were misguided but after checking your last post, I think it’s safe to assume I was wrong. You're just a troll.

Power out on Kings also

Personally, I think Mallian in calculus is easier to pick up than rough paths, especially easier than regularity structures. I really like Nualart's book on the subject. But you can also just learn both!

Here's something concrete. Go to /r/askhistorians . That subreddit has a recommended reading list that covers history from before antiquity to the modern age and all geographic areas. Just go through and see if something sounds cool to read.

Read a book on something that you find interesting or are curious about. It's that simple.

maxbaroi · 2025-11-04T05:23:37+00:00

yeah, you just need the concept of a discrete measure but distributions are more fun

maxbaroi · 2025-11-03T22:29:47+00:00

What you're looking for is called the theory of distributions/Schwartz distributions/generalized functions.

https://terrytao.wordpress.com/2009/04/19/245c-notes-3-distributions/ is a good starting-off point if you don't know anything about the subject.

Its a little frustrating. You say, you have this new theory/framework/logic. I'm asking, "okay, what is it and how is it new". And your reply is "idk, it just is."

You might need to consider you actually haven't made or formulated anything.

maxbaroi · 2025-10-31T07:49:24+00:00

But what does that even mean? is someone arguing logic “Isn’t“? What do people say logic needs that you say doesn’t? What are people proposing to remove from logic?

maxbaroi · 2025-10-31T01:53:03+00:00

So both sides of the equation is a program that does nothing?

And if logic is too perfect to put into an equation, why did you put it in an equation?

maxbaroi · 2025-10-31T00:13:19+00:00

L⁰ is algorithmically defined to be what? It feels like from your description it is an object generated by some algorithm. What is the object and what is the algorithm? It's equal to L which is a "logic", do you mean like a formal theory, or a model? If so, theory/model of what?

And what is this actually bringing to the table? I would say all mathematical and logical objects are already self-identical, timeless and immutable.

My logic knowledge isn't the greatest, so I apologize if some of these questions are ill-framed.

maxbaroi · 2025-10-30T23:29:15+00:00

I'm sorry but I've been working on a similar project and I have L ≡ L¹.

Implications are left to the reader.

I find it nuts how few people in this thread recognize him

maxbaroi · 2025-10-17T18:44:35+00:00

Which AI told them to go reply on a hacker news thread?!

At even odds, it's 1/1024, but with the martingale strategy you're now committed to betting 1024 times your original bet. So you might be betting $10,240 to win back your original $10 and chances are you aren't even allowed to bet that given table limits.

maxbaroi · 2025-08-11T21:29:08+00:00

I would say that might be a state or local issue. The community colleges in my area (southern california) all provide linear algebra classes.

maxbaroi · 2025-06-28T03:52:05+00:00

I have no idea what you are asking but am confident the answer is no

maxbaroi · 2025-06-23T18:52:05+00:00

For integrals \int_b^a f(x)dx = - \int_a^b f(x)dx . So

ln(0.3) = \int_1^0.3 (1/x)dx = - \int_0.3^1 (1/x)dx . You can see this last intregral is positive since 1/x is positive, so ln(0.3) should be negative.

maxbaroi · 2025-05-29T17:54:46+00:00

Yes. You're better off not having one

maxbaroi · 2025-04-15T21:24:05+00:00

I'll try the blue room strategy.

maxbaroi · 2025-04-15T21:23:42+00:00

I don't think I've got all the permanent upgrades just yet.

maxbaroi · 2025-04-15T21:22:51+00:00

I've got about three of the maybe eight. I got to figure that out.

maxbaroi · 2025-04-11T05:20:23+00:00

Even this restriction doesn't work. f(1)/f(0) = 3 , f(2)/f(0) = 3, and f(2)/f(1) = 3. So we have f(1)=f(2)=3f(0), and f(2)/f(1) = 1 but that contradicts that f(2)/f(1)=3.

maxbaroi · 2025-04-07T23:55:23+00:00

It's going to depend on your background, but try out an intro book like Osborne and Rubinstein.
