"Live link: https://perthirtysix.com/tool/birthday-paradox
I built a sandbox that lets you simulate and understand the birthday paradox and few related problems. The birthday paradox tells us that in a room of 23 people, there are 50/50 odds that 2 people will have the same birthday (assuming a non-leap year and that birthdays are totally random, which they aren’t exactly).
I’ve always found these types of problems really interesting and counterintuitive. The “aha” moment for me was realizing that any two people sharing a birthday satisfies the problem, and at 23 people there are 253 different combinations of pairs between them.
I hope you enjoy messing around with the tool!
Built using Vue and p5.js, with probability formulas adapted from Wikipedia."
"I created this visualization to track Shohei Ohtani’s pursuit of a 50-50 season—achieving 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a single MLB season. Using data from ESPN, I simulated the remainder of his season to estimate the probabilities of reaching the "clubs": 30-30, 40-40, and 50-50.
The 50-50 club refers to a player hitting 50 home runs and stealing 50 bases in a single season, which has never been accomplished in MLB history. It requires a rare combination of power and speed: the 40-40 club (40 HR, 40 SB) had been joined by only five players before this year.
I built a simulation model to project Ohtani’s performance over the remaining games of the season. The model uses his current stats as a baseline and generates a range of possible outcomes based on typical variability in player performance. To stabilize the projection at the beginning of the season, I used a Bayesian prior based on his historical stats. As the season goes on, the prior is given less weight so that the current season's rates start to take over.

Stolen from Reddit.
The big drop in the 1970's was supposedly due to a change in the program to de-emphasize outdoor activities. The step down in 2019 was the LDS church cutting ties and starting their own program.
If you consider this as a proportion of the population it's an even bigger drop. In 1970 there were about 4.8M scouts in a population of 205M, so about 2.3% of all Americans were in Boy Scouts. Now it's 1M scouts in a population of 341M, so only 0.3% of Americans are in Boy Scouts.

Do these "cost per click" figures actually represent the money Google receives (received) from these companies for every time someone ends up on their platform through the intermediation of Google?
For some years now, I have seen this graph go around on social media. I think it's a powerful image, because it shows us so clearly that it is happening in our lifetime and under our watch.
But when I use it in my work, I always add the disclaimer the the graph does not show when it was made.
Because that is a problem: the graph might show us that if you are currently 30 years old, 50% of all the CO2 that has been emitted since 1751 has been emitted in your lifetime. But that percentage changes over time.
By now, for people who are currently 30, the percentage will be higher, simply because the annual emissions have gone up since the graph was made.
So I made a new version of the graph, the interactive version of which you can find here: http://mishathings.org:8050/
I wrote a post about this: https://mishathings.org/2024-08-12-how-much-co2-has-been-emitted-in-my-lifetime.html
