@SteveBronder You could do it with mmap

I think there could definitely be code-reuse between something in Rust that shells out to cmdstan and something that does it through CFFI. From a UX standpoint you still have...

@bob-carpenter and I just discussed this and I'd like to suggest an alternate syntax that makes the dimensionality of the final array much clearer. Based on how we do function...

the mixture_lpdf function could catch std::invalid_argument and return -infinity? That seems a bit too magical though, and definitely harder to debug

Depends on what you mean by “type”. It would also be thrown for example if you give a matrix that isn’t a cholesky factor to wishart_cholesky_lpdf

That kind of thing would be stopped by the compiler still. Invalid_argument is only used for runtime properties like bounds or requiring a matrix to be square

This is an issue with the quarto default search which has an "optimization" that leads to results being missing: https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/issues/8986 It unfortunately seems to be much worse in Firefox than...

(A very silly workaround is because this bug comes from an optimization around common prefixes, if you want to search for `diag_pre_multiply`, you can search for `xdiag_pre_multiply` and then delete...

Do we feel like this repo even needs an issue template per se?

Distance functions seem to definitely be on the wrong page. The norms could be split, like we have for a lot of functions, but we've also talked about re-thinking doing...
