Random Walks aim to explore a distribution through random perturbations. This is likely to move into low density regions, which is inefficient. Hamiltonian MC sails through a distribution much more rapidly by incorporating the distribution's structure into proposals.

One of the simplest algorithms for sampling from a probability distribution is Random Walk Metropolis-Hastings. It proposes new samples by taking Gaussian-distributed steps, accepting or rejecting them to maintain the target distribution. I call this pdf the "fidget spinner".

A basic strategy for drawing from a random distribution is to first generate uniformly-distributed points, then "warp" these points so they're spread out according to the target distribution. For example, the Box-Muller transform takes uniform points to normally-distributed ones

A Hamiltonian path is a route that passes through every node in a graph exactly once. Finding Hamiltonian paths can overload even the best-known algorithm for the job. Finding Eulerian paths that pass through every edge is computationally simpler.

Langevin Monte Carlo allows you to draw samples from a probability distribution using its log gradient ∇ log p(x). By performing a sort of gradient ascent with noise you can navigate around the distribution. Langevin MC is heavily related to modern diffusion models.

One common trick in MCMC methods is called 'burn-in'. It allows you to produce better samples by letting the chain first converge to the target distribution, discarding the first few samples which may be out of distribution.

Extrusion is a common method for producing bricks, where a clay mixture is forced through a die to create a continuous column of clay, which is then cut into individual bricks.
