[NEW VIDEO!] What's the Fairest Way to Cut a Cake?
Added 2024-01-11 12:00:48 +0000 UTCImagine you’re at a birthday party and you’re asked to cut the cake for all your friends. What’s the fairest way to cut it to make sure everyone is happy with their piece? This might sound like a simple question, but it took computer scientists over 70 years to solve. The algorithm is insanely complex. To share between five people it can take more cuts than the number of atoms in the universe. Known as The Cake-Cutting Problem, it’s famous in the branch of computer science called Fair Division, which explores algorithms that achieve mathematical fairness. So if you were never good at sharing, don’t feel bad. Turns out sharing is mathematically difficult.

Everyone treated equally trading 'n sharing, even Steven. Imagine the best of all worlds where everyone plays 'n wins alike. Create a distribution with fair division Every degree of freedom livin' with the same energy kT. If molecules can do it, why can't we? No one left in the cold. Everyone comes to a feast fair and square and never old A fair diversion for everyone. Feynman says, sum over all the amplitudes, complex-valued quantum amplitudes, let the sums collapse onto classical measures. PV = nRT dU = TdS - PdV Imagine all the creatures large and small nourished and cloaked, holographically. Ads/CFT Resources equi-partitioned per ancient theorems. Feynman says, sum over all of the quantum amplitudes, leave not one in the cold. Give each the same weighting. Minimize the Action and hide the eggs.
