oh, interesting, I assumed the data came from interruptions (that seemed obvious) but I'm surprised you had some specific negative measurements. How do you decide the magnitude of the number? Just counting how long both parties are tal

I assume 0 delay is the minimum here, and a median of 0 means over half of the data are exactly 0.

Yeah, I recently upgraded to the 9a from the 4a for $250 USD and am still really enjoying Pixels. I might just be out of the loop on what's available, but I can't imagine many other phones at this price are competitive.

Yeah, it was a pretty big change actually. You're right though, the conversation didn't change much even as access to healthcare did change.

I'm an American mathematician and have always allowed the codomain of a random variable to be any measurable space. I haven't noticed anyone mention random elements. I don't work in probability though, so maybe people directl

I didn't know what a duvet was until I was an adult. Grew up with sheets and quilts in Appalachia.

Yeah, that seems true and it's basically the value proposition I bring to my work.

Interesting way to look at it. Your description of what physicists are experts at matches my math PhD pretty closely. I focused on mathematical modeling. I now work with a bunch of physicists, so I guess that checks out.

You don't think increasing pedestrian fatalities could be linked to people choosing to walk less? I've certainly noticed in my area that drivers have been much more aggressive since the pandemic started and I walk less because of

The article says that biking increased and walking decreased. I don't think I can explain those things simultaneously with just "well we were in a pandemic during that time."

I'm not sure why this article would prompt you to call out bike lanes. > there’s a noticeable rise in biking trips while pedestrian activity is dwindling as a portion of overall trips. Beyond that, this seems highly relevant: > A

> CCNOT and Hadamard are universal logic gates with which all (?) quantum functions/transforms can be approximated. CNOT, H, S, and T are universal for approximating any quantum operation.

That's interesting. I thought it was obvious that ADHD does exist because it's just a constellation of behaviors that some people indeed do exhibit. I feel like we agree completely on the base facts and somehow have arrived at opp

I wouldn't say it's a nitpick. Rationals are fractions of integers, not just any fractions at all. Rationals are _examples_ of reals, but it's bad pedagogy to say "fractions, which are called reals" because it sound

It's bad pedagogy. But it is also technically incorrect. You can have fractions with complex numbers.

It's a funny thing. I think what you're saying is exactly right from the standpoint of a dev. As a mere consumer, if you support Steamdeck via Proton, then it sure feels to me like you're supporting Linux, but I get why you w

"Roll a D20 and if you get 1 humanity as you know it will be destroyed in your lifetime" seems bad. Why do you consider 7 or 8 percent low?

I think drewcoo's point was that "having a conscience" and "having consciousness" are not the same thing. They were pointing out that the wrong word was used with a joke.

Cool. I have a second interview for a software developer position at a quantum computing place this week. Hopefully I'll be following you into the field!

Ahh I wish I had gotten the chance to interact with new math majors more often. In grad school most of my students were engineering majors. I'm not super likely to end up back in academia. My published research is...sparse. I have post

There is no bijection between the natural numbers and the power set of the natural numbers. When talking about bijections to study the sizes of sets, there is clearly not just one infinity. Also consider the extended real line, this makes i

I know you weren't the one who made the claim, but if this is what the commenter meant by weeb culture, I'm not sure how it has anything to do with, for example, Twilight Princess.

For 1, I just use latexmk. I honestly assumed that was standard but I guess not? It comes with TeXLive anyway. For the rest, I use Zotero with betterbibtex and with both that and LaTeX in general I use the more recent biblatex instead of bi

This is less a discussion of the law it self and more a discussion on whether actively breaking laws directly on HN is acceptable. Framing it properly makes it much broader than simply a discussion on this particular law.

The heuristic is that the average of an interval is the middle. If you know nothing about it other than you're at some point on the time interval, assuming you're at the middle time is a good prior. When you know more, you certain

Yeah, I'd say the phrases "broadly shared visceral feelings" and "broad social policies" point to nearly the same concept.
