Has anyone used these constants at all and want to pitch in for stabilisation of these? These have landed for a while and I'm curious how many people are using them.

+1 for stabilization. (Tried to see if log2(10) exists and found that it is unstable 🙄.)

(Mind providing the specific use case? Curious to see if people are using this for anything other than scientific computing.)

@clarcharr to estimate the "−log2(probability)" of collision of two values chosen randomly from a set, which will be used to derive the probability of collision of N values (≈ 1 − e-pN2/2, p ≪ 1, N ≫ 1).

log2 is chosen instead of natural log because the set size is often 2n (e.g. u32), but sometimes it is drawn from a set of n decimal digits which would then involve n·log2(10).

One hartley is = log2(10) shannons (bits). Currently the constant is duplicated in uom.

I can't @ anyone from the libs team but do you think we'd be able to start an FCP for this?

cc @rust-lang/libs for a FCP.

I believe the stabilization includes core::{f32, f64}::{LOG2_10, LOG10_2}.

Team member @alexcrichton has proposed to merge this. The next step is review by the rest of the tagged team members:

No concerns currently listed.

Once a majority of reviewers approve (and at most 2 approvals are outstanding), this will enter its final comment period. If you spot a major issue that hasn't been raised at any point in this process, please speak up!

See this document for info about what commands tagged team members can give me.

@alexcrichton Does this need a stabilization report/PR?

@clarfonthey

Contributor Author

It needs a PR. Not sure if we should include TAU in that though; @m-ou-se, would you be willing to open a separate tracking issue for that, considering how that wasn't included in the FCP for this one?

@clarfon There is already #66770.

Oh, my bad. I for some reason noticed that this issue got linked in the PR and thought that there wasn't a separate tracking issue.
