Why is this number everywhere?
推荐理由
humans are fairly predictable when trying to come up with random numbers, for example, have a look at this Veritasium video
说明
这是2024年由Veritasium发布的一部讲解,主题归在Probability & game theory。它讲的是human randomness bias这一支里的具体问题,而不是把整个领域扫一遍。适合按兴趣直接看、不打算先补课的人。内容上可以概括成:Veritasium explores why the number 37 turns up so often, drawing on Tom Magliery's collection of 37 sightings and a poll of about 200,000 people asked to pick a random number. It covers how humans choose numbers and why 37 stands out.这些读者给出的理由,核心是:HN cites it in LLM randomness and number-picking threads as evidence that humans are also biased and predictable when asked for random numbers.讲法不绑某一条新闻,过几年仍然可以当材料看。从2024年到2026年,有2位不同的读者在2个不同月份把它推荐出来,其中明确叫别人去看的有1次。适合用一集把一个概念补上的人。抓住它用的那个图像或类比,比背公式重要。如果已经会了基本定义,就把注意力放在它怎么把human randomness bias变成能跟着复述的例子。
