How people achieve their amazing temporal precision in interception.

People can hit rapidly moving balls with amazing precision. To determine how they manage to do so, we explored how various factors that we could manipulate influenced people's precision when intercepting virtual targets. We found that temporal precision was highest for fast targets that subjects were free to intercept wherever they wished. Temporal precision was much poorer when the point of in...

Carries, Shuffling, and an Amazing Matrix

For this example, 19/40=47.5% of the columns have a carry of 1. Holte shows that if the binary digits are chosen at random, uniformly, in the limit 50% of all the carries are zero. This holds no matter what the base. More generally, if one adds n integers (base b) that are produced by choosing their digits uniformly at random in {0, 1, . . . , b− 1}, the sequence of carries κ0 = 0, κ1, κ2, . . ...

Th e success of combination therapy and treatment simplifi cation seemed to have created a wave of complacency and a sense that, except for side eff ects, HIV treatment was fi nally “good enough.” Project Inform h...
