What books would you recommend on the Scientific Method, Epistemology and scientific thinking in general? Books like this that I liked: - The Selfish Gene - Rationality: From AI to…

I was aware that the Random function call gets evaluated in Python (and C) every time the loop iterates, I just couldn't imagine the probability distribution myself, I had assumed …

Yes, that's true. I don't want an average of 50. My initial guess of 50 is wrong. I am trying to understand why the average turned out to be approximately 12.

Not sure that adds up, I translated the right side of the equality into a Python statement and it returns a number I am not sure how to interpret: 1/99 * sum([(i-1)*i for i in rang…

Would you recommend Healing Developmental Trauma to non-therapists? I am interested in the topic of trauma and how to heal it but have zero training on the subject.

What are your favorite parenting podcasts and why? I am looking for recommendations but also looking to explore things I may not come across.

I am interested to see what are all the interesting or hard computational challenges people are working on out there. Hardware, software, data-related or algorithmic.
