degrees of belief
Last edited: August 8, 2025degrees of belief help us quantify how much we believe some event \(A\) is more/less plausible than some event \(B\).
Let us take two statements:
- \(A\) Taylor gets Nobel Prize in Literature
- \(B\) Han shot first
For instance, if we want to express “I think its more likely that Taylor gets the prize than Han shot first”:
\begin{equation} A \succ B \end{equation}
axioms of degrees of belief
universal comparability
for two statements \(A, B\), only three states can exist:

Last edited: August 8, 2025- use efficient page maps too translate virtual to physical addresses
- kick things off to disk when memory runs out
Every process has its own page map.
demand paging
Key idea: physical representation of virtual memory does not have to be on actual memory.
- if memory fills out, kick a page to disk
- if the program asks for memory again, kick another page to disk and load its memory back
Keep in memory the information that’s being used, kick the rest to swap space/"paging file". Ideally: we have a performance of main memory and capacity of disk.
