Derivation of the correlation coefficient for a two channel Bell-test experiment: github.com/chemoelectric/eprb_

The derivation is done with theory, employing no whatsoever. It is shown that quantum theorists attempting to analyze the problem using probability theory have computed expectations incorrectly, thus arriving at the wrong function.

A in demonstrates that the solution here is correct.

Plot (muthos) is the most important element of tragedy, according to Aristotle. One key aspect of plot is unity. Here's a core concept video discussing Aristotle's views on that in the Poetics!

I have a proof of the correlation coefficient for a two channel Bell-test experiment here, along with an simulation of such an experiment:

I even struggled to formulate the problem, but in case somebody wants a math "riddle": math.stackexchange.com/questio Any hint would be highly appreciated.

A false sense of security (hubris) is generally causing people to neglect the actions that can prevent an ecological

1. To believe that humanity is going to mitigate the is wish-based delusional thinking (Hope feels good!)

Or

2. The understanding that humanity has a low probability (chance) of mitigating the is evidence-based rationale thinking (But, doesn't feel good)

Best wishers!

Were base rate fallacies more or less likely when people were reading in a foreign language?

Not among a couple hundred European Portuguese bilinguals, regardless of whether the emotional salience of the lure was exaggerated.

Next was an incredible talk by Branden Fitelson on Bayesianism, explanation, and rationality at the @sfiscience. This is a deep dive into issues with different models of belief formation and updating, with implications across a huge range of fields. Highly recommend youtube.com/watch?v=2y1BiAQyOo (3/12)

For example, a 2023 study [2] on Western United States found that (PV) "energy production decreases 8.3 % on average during high days at PV sites as compared to similar conditions without smoke present." [2]

However, and human factors both contribute. This is because " is increasing the of ‘fire weather’" [1], but this increased acts on existing , either natural or human-caused.

From the introduction to my chapter on the difference between probability measuring frequency and probability measuring credence or plausibility.

"But mathematicians talk about the behavior of mathematical objects, idealized and formal systems of pure thought. The average mathematician goes no closer to a field survey of snake behavior than absolutely necessary while parking their car in the parking garage next to the zoology department. "

Premise: Human caused has a high probability of causing a system wide ecological collapse, therefore cultural collapse, because the average human enjoys doing \ taking part in activities that pollute the air (e.g., vehicles, BBQs, campfires, eating meat, etc)

The fundamental of feeling good about sitting around a campfire is a stone age brain behaviours

Environmentally maladapted, on average

What If probability involves quantum entanglement? What if, for example, throwing a “fair” die maintains quantum memory of past throws?

Anyone have good references and/or favorite examples of the use of generating functions (in the sense of combinatorics) in probability or physics?

Nice write-up from Ole Peters about ergodicity and the "infamous" coin toss. I've been sharing these basic ideas in my math classes for the past few years, and I think it really introduces students to new and important ways of thinking.
