It's entirely possible! But my perspective is that there's a very one-sided risk. It's extremely unlikely that particles are beneficial . Thus, given the uncertainty I think it's good decision theory to run a purifier,

The main use for 80-bit floats is probably to confirm that when you switch from 64-bit to 80-bit, nothing changes. This is a very important use, though!

A lot of people don't seem to get the point of MathML. Well, suppose you have a blog, and you want to use math. If it's going to be consumed on the web, a javascript library probably works OK. But if people subscribe over RSS&#x2F
