Probability & game theory Videos Recommended on Hacker News (52)

Probability & game theory is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 52 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2012 and 2026 — 138 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.

Probability and decision theory: combinatorics, Statistics 110, Bayes theorem, paradoxes, game theory, prisoner's dilemma, Nash equilibrium, randomness, expected value.

Why HN keeps sending people here — on Why Being Delusional is a Superpower: “if you attribute just 5% of outcomes to luck, then the people who have the best outcomes are among the luckiest people” — an HN commenter, 2022.
