These guys are from Galicia. Maybe that makes a difference.

hold on. Just realised it's not even (part of ) a vector space. It's not linear, non-euclidian and can't be mapped onto 3 dimensions. It's not even constant or always reproducible:

    Look at an object; 
    Observe colour X; then look at the wrong thing; 
    then look back and you might observe colour X' != X.

I have some Spanish ex-co-workers. I just verified it. They both had it on their required reading list in high-school. (one of them is in his 30s, the other in his 40s)

iirc, The Prince from Machiavelli is required reading during secondary education. That will surely awaken their political awareness.

Doesn't matter: there's no RGB model that captures the colour space. That exactly the reason CIE exists.

Just going to sound really pedantic here, but RGB does not capture the entire colour space. In fact, it only captures about 35% of the colours the human eye can perceive.

I always put my locale in Ireland: I want

  - "proper English"
  - metric system
  - Euro

It's amazing how many web applications give me a broken experience because of it.

it's not that different compared to using the FFI.

The link below shows how it can work for Ocaml <-> TypeScript.

You don't have to use TypeScript if you don't want to: you can compile Haskell, Ocaml, Rust, F#, ... to javascript. This is quite efficient, especially if your backend is already in one of those languages. It saves you from creating the same abstraction twice in different languages.

While the IEEE 754 standard ensures that individual basic operations are deterministic and strictly bounded, it does not guarantee that an entire program will yield bit-identical results on all CPUs.

CPUs and their execution environments introduce subtle hardware variations, architecture choices, and compiler optimizations that break bit-level consistency.

(same for GPU/TPU, ...)

It's probably due to the fact that it's a cloud service. You have no guarantee that your next request will go to the same machine. So even with an identical seed, and temp 0 you might get different hardware and hence different accuracy/noise in the floating point operations.

I have the 2012 print edition too and fully concur with the assessment. The best book about garbage collection at the time (and maybe still?)

You will probably claim it's not "real" perfect pitch, but many people use their tinnitus to help them. They identified their ring as having, for example, F#, and suddenly their relative pitch became absolute.
