I guess the question is more about the difference between randomness and pseudorandomness.

I just thought about this two days ago, if we lived under water we would have names for every single kind if fish and study their lineages the way we do terrestrial animals, it was a weird thought but fish obviously evolved across millions of years across tens of thousands of parent families, if not more

I'm so proud of John and Alan and everyone for giving us 300 episodes! Purely because I haven't seen it mentioned, wasn't it Alan's 299th though, since he was supporting Arsenal at the finals in person during a series D recording?

KZfaq recommended this random video of such a random conversation on QI about what is really random. The rando on the left came up with some random factoids about random birds having random bird songs. They made some random jokes and finished randomly. What is random? Not this comment.

Woohoo ! From a loyal Canadian viewer. I only get to see older episodes on KZfaq, and I am ever so grateful. I love this program ! Congratulations, to the creators and all production staff over the years. And, especially to Sandi (Stephen was a tough act to follow), and to Alan, Because the show wouldn't be as great without him ! 🎆 🥰 🙋 🎈

Brownian motion. Spotify isn't random, it recommends from a finite list based of a finite set of selection criteria. The shuffle is pseudo-random.

Why would not playing last week's numbers be beneficial? Aren't they just as likely as any other sequence to come up?

@Michael75579 17 сағат бұрын

Yes, but if other people are doing the same you'll be sharing your prize with a huge number of people. You have no control over which numbers come up, so all you can do is try to minimise how many people you'll be sharing with if you are successful. As Sandy said, make sure you've got at least one number above 31 so you won't be sharing with people who play their birthdays. Play 13 as there are a lot of superstitious idiots who'll avoid it. Play a couple of consecutive numbers as people think they're less likely to happen. 1,2,3,4,5,6 is just as likely as any other combination but I would never play it as there are apparently a few thousand tickets sold for that combination every week. I usually only play the lottery after multiple rollovers have built the prize up to a substantial sum. When I do play I pick an entirely different set of numbers each time, selected at the time I buy the ticket, so I'm never in the situation where my numbers come up and I haven't bought a ticket that week.

I always hate when they say "people can't understand what's random" - it's not people, it's idiots. People who did understand that playlists were still being random when they pick the same song three times in a row just didn't complain about it. Equally, it is a legitimate criticism of a shuffling playlist algorithm to say you don't want that to happen. Saying "I don't want to listen to the same song three times in a row, please make a better algorithm where that doesn't happen" is not the same thing as saying "I don't understand probability, please belittle me instead of addressing the issue I'm actually complaining about"

Scientifically, there is no such thing as random. Everything is determined by the level of chaos in a system or "entropy".

@PianoKwanMan Күн бұрын

If you count up all the numbers in the lotto each week, you get a pretty good normal distribution. So, 1-6 or 45-50 is less likely to happen. So, Total somewhere around 175 with numbers 1-50

There's no reason why playing last week's numbers is any less random than any other random set of numbers. The chance for any set of numbers to come up will be the same as the chance for last week's numbers to come up.

Correct. This is an example of the gamblers fallacy.

It also serves as an illustration of how unlikely you are to win. The odds of winning are the same as the likelihood that they will draw the exact same numbers as last week.

Actually, computers are pretty bad at doing random, and instead randomness is simulated on the computer with various techniques.

@Chocomint_Queen Күн бұрын

Computers are actually perfectly good at doing random. Every computer these days has a proper hardware entropy source random number generator built into the motherboard so it can encrypt passwords properly, and even without it, pseudo-RNG is perfectly suitable for shuffling a music playlist. Setting aside "computers can't do random" as an outdated quip from people who don't keep up, the _weakest_ PRNG in modern use, developed back in 1997, has a period of 4.3×10^6001. Which is to say, if your playlist is four millinillion, three hundred novenonagintanongentillion songs long, _one_ song would be out of order compared to a true random number. PRNG weaknesses are on the scale of "if an enemy nation is trying to crack our security", not "my playlist shuffled weird".

I mean he is correct its kinda like a ufo its something thats doesn't exist and cannot exist because in the modern age we simply know too much for a random flying object to be unidentifiable For a ufo to exist it would have to be something beyond eldrich horrors level of crazyness As a general rule if you can think of what a ufo might be thats not a ufo because you already have identified what the ufo is a ufo can only be something you cant think of

Sally having the Crazy Frog buzzer and saying she can hear the noise from Pac-Man scratching her ear was one of my favourite moments on QI XL, I love her so much. Bill once again with his knowledge on birds is one my favourite facts on QI XL.
