This makes me think of the Cauchy distribution, a probability distribution whose average follows the distribution itself rather than converging (hence, the distribution has no "mean" despite being symmetric). Is there any connecti

The linked PR has been flagged as AI slop, but there seems to be an equivalent PR that's still open: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/pull/30683

Aside from the obvious bit size changes (e.g. i8 -> i16 -> i32 -> i64, or f32 -> f64), there is no "hierarchy" of types. Not all ints are representable as floats. u64 can represent up to 2^64 - 1, but f64 can only repr

For those who are curious, `...` is a placeholder value in Python called Ellipsis. I don't believe it serves any real purpose other than being a placeholder. But it is an object and it implements `__eq__`, and is considered equal to it

I've personally always thought of the Dirac delta function as being the limit of a Gaussian with variance approaching 0. From this perspective, the Heaviside step function is a limit of the error function. I feel the error function and

I've been experiencing this exact issue in the US. Lately a medical issue of mine has been getting worse, and the earliest I can see a new PCP is in May 2025. I managed to get a referral to a specialist by visiting urgent care, but the

Thanks for the clarification, I was definitely under the misapprehension that Fuchsia was basically 100% C++.

Fuchsia is written in C++, not Rust.

I mean, the sentence "The first actual case of a bug being found" implies that "bug" was already being used in the context of a malfunctioning computer. Otherwise, why would they write it?

This confirms that vx-underground is aware of the claim, and that it likely leaked from them, but they are very explicitly not verifying the claim. It doesn't seem particularly verifiable at the moment.

I saw some folks on Twitter pointing out that "TatetheRailsman" is likely a typo of "TatetheTalisman", which is Tristan Tate's (Andrew Tate's brother) account. Weird that it would be typo'd in their list o

It's not a false dichotomy, the article is very clearly about whether the harm reduction benefits (which clearly exist) outweigh the public health risks (which also clearly exist). And, of course, there's nuance to that question.

It's not exactly reasonable to expect super high fidelity audio at the bitrate constraints they're targeting here, and it certainly sounds a lot better than the Opus examples they're comparing against.

I ask this 100% genuinely, since this isn't a subject I've ever given any mind to. Why should we oppose this? What are the potential negative outcomes if this goes through? Can you steelman the argument for why people support this

I assume it's just mislabeled, it's a high-angular-momentum hydrogenic orbital, chosen because it looks cool and because it's trivial to evaluate (a spherical harmonic times a simple radial term).

I accidentally entered my birth year as 79xx, instead of 19xx, and it blocked me from reading the article. So that's cool.

My understanding is that if a 1040EZ is appropriate for you, then TurboTax will also be free. It's only if you have a more complex filing situation that they charge. Please correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Is it possible that rather than cheating customers, they are simply trying to increase the density of the paperweight to make it more effective?

In the past, I've saved Matplotlib figures to .svg so I could touch them up in Inkscape. Not the most ergonomic process, but when push comes to shove it is workable.

If HFC vehicles ever become mainstream, hydrogen is going to have to be produced on-site at filling stations. Hydrogen is extremely difficult and dangerous to transport. If you try to use pipes, the hydrogen will be able to leak out of even
