Is there some formula that can give us an idea when to expect the next update on these random thoughts?

Interesting.How are you going to quantify this taking into consideration the [SBLA] the Shavers Brain Learning Ability?

Models can be postulated for the "likelihood" function that contain deterministic components as well as the distributional probabilistic assumptions typically assumed for "measurement with error" experiments. Of course, the amount of information contained in data depends on how the data was obtained and for this part of the "learning model" we assume any two "rational" individuals faced with the same data will obtain the same information from it.

Where we allow individuals to have different learning abilities is actually in the P(B L) part. Every individual will differ in this regard, and you'd be surprised how much flexibility simply allowing someone's prior beliefs to vary can induce.

The next blog post will cover this stuff in more detail.

TL;DR

Takes some kinda bastard to sully the fun sport of wet shaving with mathematics and probability. Well done.

Ok, now I am intrigued! I will be watching for updates.

Gee guys, being a Southerner I was thinking more William Faulkner style stream-of-consciousness

Some overtones of Genghis Khan there James or maybe Conan the Barbarian

Reading Moby Dick makes me think about razors too.

I like 'Buy it Nows'....

Jimbo James! Have you bin swimmin' in the moonshine vat agin?!
