Why is Laplace prior producing sparse solutions?

the equipotentials of L1 and L2 are spherical and diamond-shaped respectively, so L1 is more likely to lead to sparse solutions, as illustrated in Bishop's Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning: Bayesian … view 👀 However, in order to understand how priors relate to the linear model, we need to understand the Bayesian interpretation of ordinary linear regression. …
