  1. Decision-Making Algorithms with Python: Thompson Sampling

    How to choose the best action when outcomes are uncertain, feedback is noisy, and you must keep learning.

    This post explains Thompson Sampling for exploration vs. exploitation, shows the Beta-Bernoulli intuition, and includes a Python simulation to compare it with simple baselines.

  2. So, they wasted millions of dollars, exacted revenge on business and political foes, destroyed institutions, raised unemployment, gutted livelihoods, drove a recovering economy into the ground and then quietly disbanded it? These criminals ought to be in prison.

  8. "In Anglo-Saxon England, the bounty for killing an outlaw was the same as for killing a wolf. By the late Middle Ages, this had evolved into the legal principle of wolfesheed: the outlaw was a wolf, able to be hunted and killed exactly like a wolf, legally and by any means."

  9. A quotation from Terry Pratchett

    It was a five hundred mile journey and, surprisingly, quite uneventful. People who are rather more than six feet tall and nearly as broad across the shoulders often have uneventful journeys. People jump out at them from behind rocks then say things like, “Oh. Sorry. I thought you were someone else.”

    Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
    Discworld No. 8, Guards! Guards! (1989)

  11. Reinforcement Learning starts with a simple but powerful idea:
    Trial & Error. Learning what works.

    The Multi-Armed Bandit problem is a first step into this world.
    It's not just about slot machines. Iit's about how AI (and humans) learn to choose.

  12. Do you always go to the same café? Or do you try something new?

    That’s the exploration vs. exploitation dilemma: Decision under uncertainty.

    Multi-armed bandits model exactly that.

    And this dilemma shows up everywhere: Recommender systems, A/B tests, online ads, even in human psychology.

    Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman called this one of the most fundamental cognitive patterns.

    🎰 I explain what it is, why it matters, and how AI systems handle it.

  15. A quotation from Cicero

    That, Senators, is what a favour from gangsters amounts to. They refrain from murdering someone; then they boast that they have spared him!
     
    [Quod est aliud, patres conscripti, beneficium latronum, nisi ut commemorare possint iis se dedisse vitam, quibus non ademerint?]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Philippics [Philippicae; Antonian Orations], No. 2, ch. 3 / sec. 5 (3.3; 3.5) (44-10-24 BC) [tr. Grant (1960)]

    Luigi Mangione: Der Rächer der Erkrankten?

    Am 4. Dezember 2024 wurde der Chef des größten Krankenversicherungskonzerns der USA in Manhattan ermordet. Ein Tag später wird ein Fahndungsfoto des Tatverdächtigen veröffentlicht und Social Media feiert Luigi Mangione als heldenhaften Rächer.

    In der Sendung wird ein Bezug zum Buch „Bandits“ („Die Banditen“) von Eric Hobsbawn hergestellt.

  22. well... since the #bandits lost, I'll at least be able to watch the decisive game 3 Saturday evening.

    that combined with the #nhl stanley cup finals game 1 makes for an epic night of sports! #MustSeeTV

  23. This paper models "discovery" as being interested in finding things with high label values, have a big set of things to label, and can only label a few of the things once each. Similar to scientific discovery. The setting is more general than #bandits, and uses #ExperimentalDesign type ideas. The paper considers the ratio of expected instant regret to information gain as a rule for selecting the next item to label.
