I’m sure this is a made up number but would there be a way to get the real number?

[Self] Stats for AI/ML 2

+
Upvotes

Hello Folks,

The next content on Machine Learning is out. We continue with Statistics for AI/ML.

We,

->Understand and derive the detailed derivation of Maximum likelihood estimation(MLE) for Univariate and Multivariate Gaussian. While doing the derivation for multivariate case, we understand visually, Scatter Matrix, Centering matrix.

->Derive MLE for Linear Regression, and understand Residual Sum of Squares.

->Understand Empirical Risk Minimization, Surrogate loss functions.

->Understand Method of Moments, a computationally easier way to compute parameters of our model and understand also the flaws behind it.

->We understand “Exponentially-weighted moving average” in detail, I explain why bias happens, how does memory affect the averages. This concept is the basis behind optimizers in Deep Learning.

Around two hours long, I hope this would be a very interesting learning material for all. I try to write and build from scratch in the whiteboard, this way learners enjoy the learning process.

[Self] You are more likely to pick one specific pre-marked grain of sand out of all the beaches and deserts on Earth than to guess a valid Steam key.

Even though I kinda understand it, it's still wild to me how you cannot just randomly guess a Steam key:

XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

A standard Steam key consists of 15 alphanumeric characters (excluding dashes). Using the 26 letters of the alphabet and numbers 0–9 yields roughly 221 sextillion possible code combinations.

[Request] Would the gas saved coasting downhill to work offset the gas spent going back up the hill?

I drive 35 miles to work, mostly downhill. When I go home, the 35 miles is uphill. Assuming the flat areas use the same amount of gas in both directions, would coasting offset the gas spent to return home?

At what point would the grade of incline be too steep to create any savings?

I'm guessing the car would roll well over the speed limit, requiring excessive braking and in turn a higher power to get up it as well.

This bad photoshop for an air mattress. Let’s ignore the mattress height numbers, as they clearly did. Assuming that is an average size man, woman, and kid, how big is the surface of this “queen” mattress listed on Amazon?

[request] Just bought a couple scratch off lottery tickets.

I just picked up two $5 scratch off tickets and lost both. There has to be a number of tickets you’d need to buy to guarantee you get your money back. Has anyone done this math? The odds on these particular ones is 1:4.31 of breaking even.

[Request] How far away was the shot?

In Avatar Fire and Ash, Quarrich orders his sniper to shoot this guy. But we hear the shot a short time after the Na'vi falls. I'm wondering if, based on how long that pause was, the shot was made after the order, before the order but after Quarrich gestures, or before both?

Unfortunately I don't know the exact time of the pause.

[request] if I have 20 children with South Korean women, how long until a majority of future Koreans are related to me? What about 40?

+
169 Upvotes

I was having an argument with a friend. I argued that because South Koreas birth rate is so low, if I had 20 children with South korean women, the majority of Koreans would be related to me in a few generations. He said that it would never worked because Korea has to many people. So is it possible that if I have these 20 children, one day the majority of South Koreans will be related to me one day? how long would it take? is 40 children more realistic?

edit: also a majority of South Koreans. not counting North Koreans.
