I’m somehow skeptical whenever I see a CEO holding a pen on a glass wall with random math formulas on it


You would be surprised at how useful Einstein's field equations are when deciding how many people to cutoff tomorrow.


Especially when the first line is a mangled version of Bayes Formula -- the p(y) and p(x) are in the wrong places!


It looks fine to me. Mirror the image and see if you agree.


Yikes, you're right! Mea culpa.


Even better, the first two lines are like fundamental laws that illuminate nothing. I'm guessing on the second but it looks like just expanding what looks like a probability using a complete set. Can't really make out the rest of it.


Especially when he's copying them from something on his phone.
