A comment on Is Probability Real?. Parent comment
I skimmed over an example too quickly, but your intuition is about right. For that sequence, two possible programs are:
- Compute and print the first 40 digits of pi.
- Decompress the following string according to a Shannon code with probabilities (1/36,1/18,1/12,[etc]): [insert code]
