@EMI_Black_Ace @PhysInHistory Not true, irrational numbers just can't have a repeated loop, they can absolutely have patterns and specifically are not required to contain all digits, so obviously can't contain all sequences. 1.01001000100001000001... is irrational

@factory1821 @pascal_bornet Wrong, it was a CNN which is essentially the same things we are calling AI today just on a much much smaller scale. It wasn't a simple probabilistic model.

[kellyleahy @kellyleahy]

@pickover Neither. They are both equally likely outcomes from a series of flips of a fair coin. Additionally, if you want to try to say one or the other has a pattern, they both appear to. Case 1 iterates through the 4 possible pairs, Case 2 iterates a more obvious pattern.

Why haven't they called Pennsylvania yet? Kamala needs 66% of rem 660k votes to win. Only one dist with 66%.

@stlDenise3D On mine, it was the cables getting caught in the drive belt and causing the drive belt to slip occasionally.

@headinthebox Of course, in computers, there is actually a finite number of values in this range, and it might matter if you're talking about using this for RNG or other probability calcs. pdf is still 1/(b-a), and doesn't matter what it is at points outside the domain of the variable itself.

[kellyleahy @kellyleahy]

@headinthebox You're butting up against a problem with the fact that in computers, there really isn't such a thing as a continuous real RV. In reality, it doesn't matter if it's [a,b], (a,b) or [a,b) and the pdf domain is not dependent on the RV domain. The pdf is 1/(b-a) in all these cases.

@headinthebox (c) - I like it because [0.0..2.0] would mean closed interval to me, which I find to be slightly inconsistent with the definition. (d) would be OK too. I like that (c) and (d) are (maybe) easily changed to mean antiderivative by dropping args if later extended that way.

Amazing thread on the underlying causes of the Challenger disaster and SO MUCH MORE. #mustread #totheend

@NatMacMaster great concert tonight in Kirkland... We were the excited two (me and my daughter) in the first two seats in the house. My little Leahy (11yo daughter) is a now a huge fan! #NatalieAndDonnell @KirkPerfCtr

@asiawil4 @BethanyJoyLenz yeah, must have missed that clue. Oh well.

@dealproc @AzureSupport @scottgu MS will have to give their official RCA, but given that we saw a queue service wildcard cert being used by blob service in our apps, I can't imagine how that isn't the RCA of all the other issues.

[kellyleahy @kellyleahy]

Certs again? Really? How is this not the best designed and audited process in all of azure at this point? cc @scottgu

Sad day today for the tech industry in Seattle. Mourning the passing of Paul Allen, Microsoft co-founder and true philanthropist and supporter of our area.

If you are near Portland and are interested in ML you should definitely show up at ML4ALL. So far the talks have been amazing. https://t.co/wlwmSJzDxo
