I started a YouTube channel focused on ALIFE. The first video is an introduction of Biomaker CA. I Hope you like it! And if you do, perhaps drop a like and/or subscribe :) youtube.com/watch?v=iqsGs-1p…

Just a little FYI from your favorite neighborhood game theorist. Game theory DOES say that you should defect in a one-shot Prisoner's dilemma. It also says that most of the things you think are one-shot Prisoner's dilemmas are not in fact one-shot Prisoner's dilemmas

Inspired by @primerlearning's video on hypothesis testing with coin flips, I made this p5 sketch - it shows the 95% confidence interval, and you can reveal who was throwing biased coins (and how biased they were) by clicking on the screen at any point. editor.p5js.org/thechalkface…

a mysterious economist approaches you, offering a bet
flip a coin
• if heads, you gain 50%
• if tails, you lose 40%
assuming you're not particularly risk-averse or anti-betting in general, is this a good bet?
what if you could play 100 times in a row?
42%yes, .5*(1.5+.6)=1.05>1
23%no, 1.5*.6=0.9<1
12%i use different reasoning
23%idk / results

Hard: there are 2 whales, at least one is a male born on a Tuesday. What's the probability they're both males?

Let's shore up our public health infrastructure? Yes. Let's study what went wrong so we can meet the next challenge better? Yes. Let's get through the rest of this with minimum possible suffering? YES. Permanent pandemic from a coronavirus we can vaccinate against? Come on.🙄

Over deep time, the continents dance.
(Also, watch the Indian subcontinent dash up over to meet the rest of Asia at the end like it was rushing to make an appointment)

This is an amazing image!
A couple of years ago (21-01-19) I was lucky to be at @ESO's Paranal Observatory during a total lunar eclipse, which I captured in this star trail image. The sky rotates from right to left; you can see the Moon getting fainter, then red during totality, and then bright again.

For those debating a new Ferrari or Lambo with new #dogecoin / #GME gains... can we suggest you give some directly to those living in poverty?

Why do people deny science?
If we want to change the global consciousness around climate change we must learn to listen to those we are trying to convince.

NEGATIVE PARTISANSHIP DID THIS.
When the best strategy is to destroy your opponent and never cooperate, the game WILL end badly.

The villagers came running, saw no wolf, and said "He 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥 there was a wolf and there was not. Thus his probabilities are wrong and he's an alarmist." /1 🧵
