Khaled Hosseini

My books are about ordinary people, like you, me, people on the street, people who really have an expectation of reasonable happiness in life, want their life to have a sense of security and predictability, who want to belong to something bigger than them, who want love and affection in their life, who want a good future for the children.

Afghani Novelist

John Updike

Professionalism in art has this difficulty: To be professional is to be dependable, to be dependable is to be predictable, and predictability is esthetically boring - an anti-virtue in a field where we hope to be astonished and startled and at some deep level refreshed.

American Novelist

Matt Lauer

My mother is a strong woman. Her strength comes from being tested by life's unpredictability. It comes from soldiering on for her children, even when she might rather have given up. I know it hasn't always come easily, but I also know it's her greatest gift.

American Celebrity

I think there are always people that you meet in your life that scare you a little, but not because of the terror in their eyes so much as their unpredictability.

British Actor

Leonard Mlodinow

I think the fun of following the movie box office and stocks is very similar to the fun of sports - all three combine passion and unpredictability.

In any art, unpredictability is the delightful factor.

Predictability in daily life often implies stability and can provide emotional comfort to individuals.

Emotional Comfort

Stressing predictability highlights the importance and benefits of maintaining routines.

Routine Importance

Sometimes can imply boredom or lack of excitement due to the absence of variation.

Negative Implication

In statistics, predictability is a measure of how a model's projections match up with actual outcomes.

Model Efficiency

Predictability in data ensures that decisions made based on the data are more likely to be reliable.

Data Reliability

In computing, predictability often equals consistency, crucial for system reliability.

System Consistency

Predictability ensures that real-time computing tasks execute within expected time frames, important for time-sensitive applications.

Real-Time Performance

 So then if the trajectories of the balls are very close to each other, that means you either have a very good model, or there's a high level of predictability in that hurricane track, or both. These are called spaghetti plots. And it's essentially just deterministic guidance overlaid with a bunch of ensemble guidance.

The Future of Weather...

 Nobody has a clue, despite all the expertise that's been on parade for the past four days, what the world will look like in five years' time. And yet, we're meant to be educating them for it. So the unpredictability, I think, is extraordinary. And the third part of this is that we've all agreed, nonetheless,

 Things with rules as simple as these can do it. Well, this has deep implications about the limits of science, about predictability and controllability of things like biological processes or economies, about intelligence in the universe,

 And one of those lessons was how important stability and predictability were to publishers. No publisher can build a business on a platform that's too volatile, and no business should be entirely reliant on any one platform.
