"Typos are very important to all written form. It gives the reader something to look for so they aren't distracted by the total lack of content in your writing." - Randy K. Milholland

Someone else: it [entropy] started out as an excursion from robust estimation to information theory. later i found entropy is related to physics

bose-einstein, maxwell boltzmann

i didn't know the information theoretic formulation is related to that of thermodynamics

btw, the connection was only found later
claude shannon came up with this information theoretic formulation

he asked von neumann what to call it (von neumann is a famous mathematician with contributions to game theory but is most famous for his mathematical achievements)

von neumann say call it entropy because it's the same formula
And also, since nobody understand what is entropy (the physics sense) , he can win any argument


Someone: college has been... interesting

Asian guys are truly at the rock bottom of the social hierarchy
