    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 misattributio…

    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 i…

    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 preci…

    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".

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

    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.

    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 bo…
