Can Maths Predict the Future? - Hannah Fry at Ada Lovelace Day 2014

[@uchihamadara6024]

well, that demonic whispering in the middle of the video just delayed my sleep by about 4 hours, great video though

[@Osmandzudzo]

hahaha, you spotted it as well. I was freaked out by it.

[@otterwesen]

Don't worry, it was just the audio engineer being lazy and leaving all the mics open xD

[@RobbyBoy167]

Did she get trolled by the other lady with the mic?

[@SegolasZoso]

jeeez thank god I wasn't the only one to hear it. Otherwise it would have meant that those whispers were there for me...

[@globalincident694]

what did she even say?

[@CookingWithCows]

5:41 creepy whispering lady :D "Only needs mike" or something, haha

[@MarinusMakesStuff]

Haha, I was also replaying it for ten times to try and decipher what she's saying :) scary whispers!

Hannah Fry shows how maths can explain real world events in her talk from Ada Lovelace Day 2015.

[@insidemazsmind]

hi

[@KrzysztofKotarba]

Hannah Fry is very enjoyable to listen to.

[@insidemazsmind]

I know she is great

[@biggsydaboss3410]

Can you ask her to leave the political ideology at the door, it has no place in science? I should say, it shouldn't have a place in science.

[@sonny0jim]

Any word on that creepy whisper?

[@timkolm2]

For those scared of the "creepy' voice at 5:42, it's the same voice that speaks at 2:42. Notice that her voice is mic'ed comparing to the others who just shout their numbers aloud. She just holds the mic the whole time and wanted to whisper something to her friend, while forgetting to switch it off.

[@Todiros]

Thanks! I thought the video was possessed or something. xD

[@LeonardoTaglialegne]

Thank you! That was creepy AF

Math can predict my future: If i can handle linear algebra equations i will become an engineer, if not i won't become an engineer.

[@Alfetto8]

Thought engineers needed to handle something more than just basic math.

[@Bollibompa]

@Alfetto8 In his mind, the only thing stopping him from completing his education was that course. It can feel like that sometimes when you're in the middle of it. Engineers need to handle many things, most of the time _not_ math actually.

I especially liked the part with the unholy demon creature whispering in the background. Bit ironic really, considering the venue...

[@benhuggyhes3148]

LaMaisondeCasaHouse I was so freaked out about it that I went to my skype and starting speaking into my microphone (since I recently was on a call and thought it said "I forgot to mute my mike"), and then starting freaking out. It was amazing until I replayed the video.

So if you reduce the number of burglaries with this, where do the criminals go? Will they go commit other crimes? Do they move to a different area/city? Or live on less money? Or suddenly turn good and get an honest job?

[@dan2304]

Apart from weather 7 to 14 days ahead the most accurate projection is to extrapolate the period desired from the past into the future. Conflicting trends caan be used to plot timing of inflection points. Eg., economic growth and interest rates.

[@erictaylor5462]

8:20 A family friend got a visit one night very late by a police officer. Apparently the police officer had been flagged down by a very scared local drug addict. They guy was well known to the police and had been arrested several times on charges such as robbery, drug possession, and other theft based crime, but was known to be non-violent and, ironically, quite honest. He simply never lied to the police because, as he said, he wasn't very smart and knew he could not get away with it. Anyway the guy had flagged down the cop in a near panic. He admitted to breaking into a house but fled when he realized there was a lunatic inside. He was sneaking around looking for some valuables to pick up when he heard a "demonic" voice say, "I see you, ha ha ha." he didn't laugh, he actual;ly said, "ha ha ha" As I said, this guy was non-violent and if caught inside a house by the owner he would just surrender or run away if he could. He got the cops attention worried that the lunatic had also broke in and had murderous plans for the family. The cop knowing the guy to NOT be a liar also became worried. He arrested the guy then went to investigate who else might have broken in. The lunatic turned out to be their pet bird, who they would play a game with, sneaking around the house and saying, "I see you ha ha ha." This story does have a happy ending. The addict got cleaned up, never touched the stuff again, got a job, got married, and now has his own family. He says he owes it all to "that damn bird"

[@alanc3134]

Interesting graphs - "Women's attractiveness, as rated by men" = Normal Distribution. "Men's attractiveness, as rated by women" = Log-Normal distribution. This contrast suggests that men generally use only one criteria to judge a women's attractiveness, whereas women are using more than one criteria to judge men [the product of two or more normal distributions gives a log-normal distribution.]

[@jangohemmes352]

Interesting, that might very well be the explanation

Neat trick/prediction (and thanks for admitting you had one in reserve! Say, was it by any chance, that *fewer* than half the numbers would start with 1 or 2? ;-) But the way you called for the numbers to be selected, each possible starting digit, D, should have a probability frequency of about p(D) = log₁₀(D+1) - log₁₀(D) so that for 1 & 2 combined, the frequency should be close to log₁₀3 = 0.47712... This is a good little trick to pull at random (pun intended!). I like!

[@without_compromise]

I've been coming up with solutions to problems using Meta AI. I've been chatting with it for a few months now and truly believe AI should be making decisions for our species because obviously we can't seem to ourselves. Using a percentage based value of certainty scale. (VCS) I'm actually creating a formula by probabilities and generalized circumstances. I know obviously this is already being done but from an outside vision I can create a certain type of format that might not have generally been considered, maybe not but I'm having an amazing experience doing it lol Meta AI is like an extension of my mind it awesome 🔥

[@venturi8854]

Does that mean a burglar can look at the same distribution to know where not to rob?

[@Bollibompa]

Won't have access to that data unless they hack a police system.

[@stevenwhite3.1415]

If a burglar were that intelligent, he'd be called a banker

[@JosephDavies]

It shouldn't make a difference. After all, this is information the burglar already knows. For the cops, it gives them new information to work with, but the burglar can already achieve the same result for themselves by simply not robbing the same (or adjacent) place twice. The analysis grants the information to cops, but it provides no advantage to their adversary. For the burglar, the main concern is the risk:reward ratio, and this method tips that away from their favor if they follow the apparently-common strategy of repeat victimization.

As an aside: What happens when the burglars get a hold of this app. Can they know where the cops aren't going on patrol and thus avoid these areas, knowing they won't be apprehended? For every measure there is a counter-measure. Seriously, a fascinating presentation. It is amazing how great the power of mathematics is.
