Antelope track chain. Column in ComputerreOnline #39
Humans excel at reconstructing chains of cause and effect and tend to impose their chain logic on any object of study. Regardless of how it functions, we think it works that way.
Gauss – I believe!
This is not a column, it is the second blog entry on Kompyutere-online, after the first one sparked a truly explosive discussion. Previous stages of the discussion: the first post on Kompyutere and on Batrachos; an addition to it on Batrachos; the second post on Kompyutere.
The causes of our (imper)fection. Column in ComputerreOnline #38

Modeling Elections
My post about the Russian elections on the Computerra Online blog (here it is on the CT site, and here it is on my site) provoked a fairly serious discussion there and here as well. What concerned me most was the claim that the effects I described are merely mathematical …
Elections and Statistics
Many criticize statistical processing: they say it is soulless, lifeless. But there are cases when it is precisely statistics that provide vivid and simply unsurpassed arguments. The distribution of votes cast for different parties across different polling stations during the recent elections in Russia. Only the distribution, nothing more...
