alt Hacker NewsA bit of a garden path path sentence... I believe "maps" in "maps to" was being used as a verb.
So "noul"--short for Bernoulli as in the Bernoulli distribution--"maps to if-statements."

oh god, you're completely right! nice and obvious on a reread. (I also just learnt about "garden path" sentences.)
I'd googled "bernoulli map" after reading that, and came across this[0], which I wasn't aware of and thought was somehow related so I entrenched my misunderstanding (I didn't dig in.)
Side note: I just wrote the sentence "you're completely right!", and almost changed it because it sounds like slop now. I wonder if we're gonna get an increase in these sentences in human written prose over time as people mimic these sentences, or a decrease as people shy away from them to not sound like AI. :)
