Oh wow, it almost like Yandex delivery in some districts of Moscow. Though there it is a land drone.

This is so blatantly wrong. On macs it became a little bit hrder very recently (you need to tick a checkmark in the system setting to allow untrusted program running) otherwise you just need to run the program once via right-click. On most

The first example (signed integer overflow) is no longer valid in newer standards of C. Now it should use the two-complement semantics and no UB.

All the references are on the wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenwick_tree

While it might be ok to use colloquially the term, "Fenwick trees" since it became a common name, calling them "a Fenwick's work" and not mentioning Ryabko is a clear misattribution.

The proof that e is irrational is very simple, follows from its famous expansion as a sum of inverse factorials. Non-algebraicity is a can of worms though.

I thought the problem with the IPv6 is that it incorporates a lot of bloat compared to the IPv4.

I think the text is geared towards people with some mathematical background who want to understand learning theory. Besides it is clearly stated that this chapter is a review (so its assumed that you learned or will learn these things elsew

He worked in Russia more than in any other country and died in St Petersburg being a Russian citizen.

Yeah, the greatest Russian mathematician.

In all recent US wars civilian casualties vastly outnumber military ones. In the Ukrainian war civilian casualties constitute less than 10% of overall casualties. Outstanding precision for a rusty hatchet.

You are being nitpicky about the names while missing the substance. The first battle was the French capture of Saarbrucken. So no, Prussia did not "attacked first".

It's no "the poor" its the thieves. Are you insinuating that all poor people are thieves?

This universal prior is both theoretically useful and help conceptualize the real-world compression techniques.

by guimplen 3y ago
This is a misconception. The main result in the Kolmogorov complexity theory that there is precisely the "universal prior" that comes simply from the notion of computability.

A proper city has plenty of places for children to play even in its center. But maybe I'm just an outdated european.

Your comment would be relevant if the guy written something to the devs. He has a sacred right to rant on his own page as he likes.

in posix (so in any reasonable C implementation) printf is thread-safe by default, so your comment doesn't make much sense.

Why it is even relevant? Godel's incompletness theorem applies to almost any strong formal system with self-referential abilities, so if you want to do a good formalization, you bound to have one that satisfy Godel's theorem requi

I'd appreciate if you point me to a study showing that vaccinated spread COVID at a lesser rate. As far as i know, currently the findings are inconclusive at best. Lower risk of serious infection and death is more or less established t

not only can, but there is evidence that current covid vaccines can only higher you chances of milder disease. The probability of you getting infection and being a spreader is the same whether you are or not vaccinated.

AFAIK, this is more of a belief than a fact. I would be very curious if you would show me a rigorous proof that e.g. SHA256 requires like on the order of 2^256 of operations to find a preimage of a random 256-bit string.

Don't be so selfish. Insurance lawyer or manager cannot make his lambo buy itself.

I don't see much extremism. Most of the anti-coved-vax folks are ok with the tried and tested vaccines .For all I know the mRNA technology is new and the covid vax is the first of vaccines based on the said technology to get an approva

Like it. The theory of the iterated function systems beautifully utilizes the Banach fixed-point theorem.

I think your argument only shows that k-th point lies inside the k-th approximation of the Sierpinsky triangle, but says nothing abiut the fact that the final picture loooks like the Sierpisnsky triangle.
