#randomness — Public Fediverse posts

Last night about an hour before bed I turned off my phone.

Its funny how many times you (at least me) mindlessly check it. After a while the need for it slowly slows and then theres this weird sense of.. I dunno how to describe it..freedom? Like not wearing a car seatbelt.. like some invisible cage is lifted.. weird. In a good way.

I might start doin that more.

On my way to the weirdest city in the US! Portland! Love this town. Coffee, tattoos, LGBT culture, and people just being themselves without judgement. Rock on Oregonians! PS: Always baffles me when people get into other's business like it has such a drastic impact on themselves… Just live free, do good, be good! Oh, yes! So stoked! We'll be heading to some of the heavier homeless areas in southern Oregon to play some music and hand out food with the local folks. Community is made when we give and lend that helping hand. #Randomness #SelfLove #Community #Portland #Food #Music #ChangeHappens

Mashable: What is Thundr? Omegle’s replacement, warts and all.. “Thundr is a random video and text chat service that’s emulating Omegle the most in 2026. Think of it as Omegle with actual guardrails, offering far more ways to get your exact match through tags, country selection, and AI moderation.”

I learned way down the line that E=MC^2 isnt really.

As of now we cant make Mass from Energy because it creates equal amounts of matter and antimatter which immediately annihilate back to Energy.

One of sciences big mysteries.. why is there matter when the big bang shouldve created equal parts.

🐒 So, some genius decided that replacing IBM's quantum computing back end with /dev/urandom is a brilliant idea, proving that random #chaos is indeed the pinnacle of scientific progress. 🤡 Who needs quantum supremacy when you've got a random number generator and #GitHub branding plastered everywhere? 🤔

Heres a story I like to tell..

Once upon a time, there was an energy resource that powered the world, lit and warmed every home and employed masses of people.

A new, cleaner, better technology came along and the energy barrons fought it tooth and nail. "its unreliable, dangerous even, and will create massive unemployment"

It was whale oil being replaced by electricity.

An Article in the Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics on Turbulence by KR Sreenivasan and J Schumacher
https://www.annualreviews.org/content/journals/10.1146/annurev-conmatphys-031620-095842

What is the turbulence problem, and when can we say it’s solved? 🌪️ This deep dive by Sreenivasan & Schumacher explores the math, physics, and engineering challenges of turbulence—from Navier-Stokes equations to intermittency and beyond. A must-read for anyone fascinated by chaos, complexity, and the unsolved mysteries of fluid dynamics! 🌀

A summary of the talk presented by KR Sreenivasan in December 2023 at the International Center for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS-TIFR) in Bengaluru, as part of a program on field theory and turbulence.

What’s So Random About Ms. Pac-Man

#Avi #Wigderson is the recipient of the 2023 ACM A.M. #Turing #Award.

Wigderson's groundbreaking contributions to theoretical computer science include results that have🔸 elucidated both the power and limitations of #randomness in #computation. 🔸
Wigderson is the Herbert H. Maass Professor in the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
Prior to Wigderson's contributions, it appeared quite plausible that randomized algorithms might be qualitatively faster than deterministic computation for many fundamental problems. For example, efficient algorithms for finding large primes - a computation essential to modern cryptography - use randomization.
In a landmark series of works, Wigderson and colleagues proved that,
under standard and widely believed computational assumptions, ⭐️every efficient randomized algorithm can in fact be fully derandomized. ⭐️
In other words, randomness is not necessary for efficient computation.
These results revolutionized our understanding of the role of randomness in algorithms, and the way we think about randomness more generally in mathematics and computer science.
