I don't know about the takes on absurdly low p values < 1e-1000. ISTM the real interpretation is "the sampling isn't the dominant source of error, it's probably implementation errors or cosmic rays." And that's a useful result, because these error sources always lurk!

We often have to strengthen the induction hypothesis in recursive algorithms… but it sometimes pays to weaken and restore what was lost in post. In this case: what if we wanted TopK in any order?

Hair straightener popcorn gal is from montreal. Barely surprised.

Passed Albany, started describing distances in hours again.

"literate" python one-liner: `#!/usr/bin/env sed -re s|^|\x20\x20\x20\x20| -e s|^\x20{4}\x23\x23\x20?||`

🎉We are celebrating Mihalis Yannakakis’ contributions to science on the occasion of his 70th birthday with a 3-day workshop and lectures from researchers who have been strongly influenced by his work. August 16-18, 2023 Davis Auditorium Register here - forms.gle/VmJkUfQMNyJ7nv…

Security researcher for a cloud provider that makes money by oversubscribing tenants thinks intra-core leaks are an important attack vector… to be fixed in microcode.

But surely a ticket left open for more than 6 weeks will never be addressed.

Ah, rationalists: "it's the same game, they payouts are identical!" "After reducing two hypotheticals to 2x2 matrices with values in {-1, 0}, I don't see any difference between them. Debate me!"

What's the ultrafinitist take on the "infinity outfits" question?

Nothing says pragmatic like writing a bunch of conditionals over 20 LOC for an operation that should be <5 instructions.

If you're gonna shill F* just try to build it on 32 and 64 bit platforms.

Who wouldn't want to read about the cursed ABI that lets you mix ARM64 code and X64 code in the same address space? corsix.org/content/window…
