I secretly did the integration over space to go from the probability density to the probability, so the deltas are integrated out :P Doing calculations over text-based comments is so painful that I gloss over a lot, in the expectation that

No. The probability of an event is never, ever negative, even in quantum. We use the complex scalar product, c x c^*, to get probabilities, and those are necessarily positive even for complex numbers. The same is true for the generalization

Or, as TFA suggests, you separate your concerns with a framework just as you'd hopefully do with other elements of software development. While TFA starts out with strong language against frameworks (as defined in TFA), the conclusion i

Nah, it would be the end of politicians demanding ever increasing shitty automation affecting a huge percentage of valid use cases. We didn't have any regulations demanding automated enforcement before it was possible, certain media lo

Yes, in a world where fizzbuzz is a useful filter for advanced software developer positions, I'm pretty sure this would also help.

Yes, they did have that power. They did not, however, actually use it a lot (at all?) after the Punic wars AFAIK (the senate had in practice taken on the entire government as a war measure, and effectively shut out the tribal assembly of an

Those weren't dictatorships, given that that word has concrete meaning during the Roman Republic. The actual dictatorships were those of Sulla and Caesar, and neither dictatorship was elected by the tribes. Also, very much true. Origin

Agree. For one, even actually commonly used technology in its self-propelled manifestation like bikes attracts riders that are on the low end of driving ability when electrified, making sharing so-far self-propelled pathways with these part
